I have searched all through the previous threads/posts about 32 eyelids But didn't find the answer i was looking for. I know this has been asked many times but seems to alll ways be to no avail. Hopefully someone may know something new?

So please can anyone point me in the right direction?

here is a picture of basically what im looking for.

i had eyelids for a while...

i just taped around the shape i wanted with masking tape and newspaper then gave it about 5 or 6 coats with touch-up paint from supercheap that was a very close colour match...

never had an issue with peeling etc. even through the melbourne winter!

cheers,

Warren.

There are a couple of places that sell eyelids mentioned in this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=68543

Including N1 in melbourne, they have them listed for r33 & r34 maybe give them a call and ask if they can get r32?

Good luck!

NismoR34,

I have had this post open for a while but as you can see no real positive response. I had previously seen those threads before posting mine.

I have rang: Jetspeed, N1, Motorware and various importers etc, but no go.

I think spraying them my self might not be such a bad idea, but obviously i would prefer the real thing.

Thanks for your reply anyway much appreciated!

Cheers also to "Interloper" and "Wazr32gtst"

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay...the mould is coming along...working on a good mould so i can make eyelid after eyelid with no drop in quality :( there are a lot of 32's out there, and i know that everyone is keen. I will also be looking into arranging professional painting for a few $ more...

Still trying to finalise mounting options so they can be removed if required, and make them harder to snap / steal as I've read that a few people had had issues with people trying to rip them off...

If anyone has a GTR or a GTR gril on their GTST, could you please post up a few pics of the way it (ie - the grill) is mounted as I want to make sure that they will fit GTR's with no modification required.

This weekend i plan to spend a lot of time getting it all sorted, and all things going well they shouldn't be too far away now :)

I'll get some pics up of initial concepts and the like to get your feedback so I can put together something that everyone is happy with. I'll try and get those pics up tonight ;)

If this lot is successful, i might tackle some of the other models too.

I'll keep you all posted with my progress, and if you have any suggestions or pics of what you're after please post them up or PM me :)

Cheers,

Michael

Popped d/s eyelid out of the first mould today... needed to modify it a little, so i'm going to be changing this one slightly, then comes the pass side :(

Batteries in the camera are dead, but i'll get them charged up and post a pic up in the dext day or 2 so u have an idea of the shape of the eyelid.

Once I've got my set and i'm happy with them i'll be making a new mould so u guys get quality goods :P

:D

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
