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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
