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

How about making these eyelids for the R34? I'll buy some if you can. I will get a scale drawing with measurements and shape soon. I'll copy them off AboBob at the next SAU NSW thing next week.

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.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
