Pasak, i think youve done a very good job! dont do the one that RedlineGTR is talking about cause they look shit. i think the only thing you should change from your original design is to make the bottom edge more angled towards the grill. like what Hotsky posted, but not as much angle as that. only a little more than the original.

this is my r33 with the eye lids that came with it when i bought it

They dont look too bad, but the problem with alot of eyelids is that they look good if you look straight at the car but as soon as you look at it from a angle they look weird and dont go with the car. This is my opinion not bagging anyones ideas or eyelids they have on thier car.

Everyone had thier own opinon, Pasak wanted some photos and i have him some to muck around with never had a knife to his head to say these are the best eyelids and dont make any other ones. My suggestion for these is that the fact that they use nearly 100% of the headlight in thier design as compaired to something that only covers 70%, if you know what i'm getting at. Anyways My 2 Cents.

wil there be a heating issue with them made in steel?? ie with teh lights on?? then again there is a layer of paint over it so that could be enough insulation??

good effort though.....always nice to have a lazer cutting machine on hand:D:D

i spent all day redesigning the eyelids, dont worry, still have the original ones on file, but i copied the look redlinegtr showed me.

i just got home, gonna spray them now, and hopefully they dry before dark so i can post a pic of them

i'll make a whole bunch of different designs, better than working, this way im getting paid to do shit to my skyline.

by the way, the money sux. and i cant wait to get out of there and into IT, but at least ive made the most of it.

ive been cutting stuff for my car for years, stereo brackets, fog light brackets, whatever, whenever i want. thats about the only good thing about it

yes some asshole decided he wanted one of em off my car but he only managed to break half of 1 off, so i had to remove it anyway. I just havent got around to getting a new one yet.

Mine are made from fiberglass and were were made in melbourme. I got em around 2 years ago and i think remember paying around $140 or so for the pair painted to match the car. No spray can paint proper paint by panel beater.

You should epoxy them on or otherwise they are 2 easy to pull off

i think that the problem with the r33 headlights is that they look a bit "sleepy" eyed. compared to say the r34 which is more angular and looks more aggresive. perfect example is how tough the new honda odessey looks :)

thats why i said that you shouldnt follow the curve of the headlights. would be better to get rid of the curve and make them look more angular. but not too much.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
