Purchased a pair of R34 eyelids from MFX about a month and a half ago; finally got them painted and fitted today :D Decided to go DIY as the initial cost of the item didn't warrant a professional spray job. Besides, the item is so damn small it's going to be near impossible to funk it up~

Ingredients:

2 x MFX R34 Eyelids

1 x Can of Automotive Spray Paint (Nismo White)

1 x Can of Laquer

1 x Brick (to hold eyelids up above ground)

1 x Old Newspaper (to keep my driveway spotless)

Process took 2 days as I only began work Saturday evening. Applied 2 initial coats of white and left to dry overnight. Came back from a small meet-up today and finished it off by applying a final coat of paint followed by 2 coats of laquer.

Voila....

Eyelids fitted using double sided adhesive tape; had to be cut to size. Because these eyelids "flex" to a certain degree, fitment was clean and easy as you could bend them to the shape of the headlight :)

Still not sure whether I'll keep em on for good... a little undecided atm! Maybe they'll grow on me so they'll stay on for a month or two :) Good thing is that the adhesive is only on the plastic housing of the headlight which means removal is a piece of cake!

I think you are 100% correct.... the East Bear ones look much more aggressive! But could that be because of the front bar it is partnered with? Could be a "package" feel rather than the single piece feel...

Anyways, thanks for the feedback guys :)

IMO, look's more aggressive yes.. but still needs more covering the light on the other hand - if you got the r34 GTR style grill it looks a whole lot better! I recon even without the lids.. just looks badass

ignuz; I agree that the GTR grille would look awesome no doubt, but the amount of work + money to get that look is not justified in my books. There are just too many parts that need to be replace in order to achieve that look - and only so that the eyelids look more agressive, proves my point even more :D

oh :D Pictures don't mean anything anyway... always looks different in person :D

oh and also.. i can't tell if you've already done it or if it even can be done.. but if you take the lids off and just tint the glass a bit.. make it darker i think that would look alot more aggressive even without the lids.. that white on black look :D

stan... those eye lids are alrite... the "Angry" C-West ones are ghey... I got a set and had em on the car for 3 days and couldnt hack it. Stock is the best... R34 headlights give the R34 that uniqe beefy look so why cover them up??

      A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.

      Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.

      Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
