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]

would silcone runi the head lights?

also what would need to be done to hole them up against the lights while they are sticking, i have painted them in 3 coats of white, and 2 clear coats. and i wanted to stick them on today. but need some help with what adhesive.....silastic???.....and how to hold them on and bend them while the silastic drys.

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
