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.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
