Anyone done this themselves?

Just looking for some tips on getting the moulding right etc

Doesn't seem like a hard job, and I'm rather familiar with fibreglass, but knowing me I'll stuff something vitally important

and just like that, it became a group buy haha...

So is one st being made and then MOULDS now? seeing as so many peoplewant tem, is it worth getting them made by a body kit shop and paying that lil extra?

How familiar are you with FG, oddy? what do you think? Otherwise the pressures on you to make like 10 set haha

Ahah sudden group buy!

When I say I'm familiar with FG, it means I've used it before (made a parcel shelf, rolled guards on an ae86, basic frontage on sub box)

I was going to wait til I could buy some paint but pressure's on now, if only I could get days off from work

I might make a few sets at the outset (I dont have access to an S2 yet) and bog/prime them smooth and send em out for you to paint yourselves (if they come out good).

Having said all of this they might turn out dodgy as, but I'll likely post a step-by-step as I go so I can narrow down how it went.

Time frame at this stage will be a couple of weeks - I work 80 hours a week so I gotta wait for a day off

Slow your roll - I'll keep you updated!

give me some time and i might have a go, my old man used to do fibreglass boats for a living so he knows his way around fibreglass and making moulds. Ive made a cold air duct for the stock bumper before and than turned out great, im sure the eyelids wouldnt be that difficult, ill post more when i have a better look at the car and some spare time.

Check Howies topics, he made a tutorial with his R34 eyelids

Here's the linky for those interested.

I was about to throw up another fibreglass repair diy article (repairing a front splitter using glass) soon.

meanwhile if anyone else wants to have a crack at making some eyelids too (someone with an S2?)

feel free.

It can't be THAT hard!

How much do eyelids retail for anyway?

From slidewize the one I linked before shipped to our doorsteps is 175 dollars via EMS, 160 via container. Then you need to put money aside to get them painted. It all adds up :D

Better off making them at that price! :D

not sure i haven't checked as i dont have a S1...

here is a link - click the seller's name and check for S1 maybe :) as he sells for all kinds of cars.

They are perfect!!! I want them - but the only prob is - that page is all Japanese and I have no clue on how to purchase or see how much shipping will be....

have you got a English translated link by any chance...??

Edited by FULOCK
you right click - and it should say 'translate this page to english' OR go to google, language tools, select japanese to english and paste the link.

OR alternatively i can source them for you and a price delivered

:)

that worked :D now, 3000yen is approx $30 yeah??

whats this mean exactly: (Shipping nationwide uniform 630 yen (excluding Outlying Islands)

代引手数料 ¥525 Pulling handle 525 yen's fee)

is that the shipping costs.....??? pulling handle...??

how much would it all cost delivered to Melbourne??

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
