not really, i need a to scale drawing. the r34 headlights, by the look of it would be very difficult.

with the r32 and r33 the headlight is reasonably flat at the front and doesnt need it to be bent horizontally, where as the r34 by the look of the pic above, it will have to bend horizontally.

i hope this makes sense...

fibreglass eyelids are moulded around the headlight, but steel is flat

Ya, those ones are pretty cool too - and will probably NOT need the bends as they are smaller and just sit on the top after the bend :cooldance

Although on a black car like mine, they may not show up much? Either way at the price your asking is still worth getting a pair.

Sewid: that would be great if you could get the dwg done :D

Silicone? Silastic?

You could use superglue or tarzans grip but if you ever wanted to take them off? yikes!

At least they would be secure though - I have heard these things get nicked [:D at INASNT]

Google is your friend: http://www.bsc.com.au/silastic/Silastic.htm

I havent done this before either but I think some clear sticky tape could be used to keep it in place until dry. Hold it in place with your hands first for a few minutes :)

I only say silicone / silastic because it holds really well and you can peel / scrap it off later if necessary...silicone is used commonly in automotive applications, look here [i have used the Bostik one before for similar applications: http://www.bostikfindley.com.au/distributi...re_FIO_page.htm

You could always go to a hardware store and ask for their advice - they usually know the products they sell :D

Use the Bostik Super Glue if you dont want it to ever come off!

 

Good luck!

The problem with that is that if someone likes your eyelids more than you and decides to borrow em while you aint around, when they try and take em off ya car they will break in half (if fiberglass), like my pair and what happened to my car, or they will damage your headlight since these ones are metal.

I pulled my other one off a few days ago. I used the industrial 3M double sided tape and when that sets it sets like silastic and is a bitch to clean off ya headlights when it has been on there for a long time.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
