I was wondering if anyone has done a "angel eye" conversion for the R34 headlights before??? if so any pictures? where did you get them from? i think they would look wild but i just cant seem to find any pictures or any information someone in the world must have done it before!!!!!!!!

God_speed has done it on his BM 328Ci just before his current GTR. PM him and ask. It was an aftermarket product from the US, and it was a total WOW factor! There needs to be room under your bonnet though to accommodate one light on each side to send that intensity down clear nylon fibre.

I think it would look pretty mean on ur car.

Cheers, Terry

Hiya,

You'll need to PM Matthew on God_speed here at SAU and he can get you not just the pics but details of where you can access the equipment.

I can only vouch for the fact that after it was done, you could not distinguish the Angel Eyes lights on this E46 328Ci from the later E39 5 series or the 330Ci that came later. Eerie sort of look!

Cheers, Tez :thumbsup:

Gee... I wonder why nobody has done it yet? Could the answer be because it would look like ass... the R34 headlights are not round like the R32 / R33 so fitting these "Angel Eyes" on would be extremely tricky if not imporssible, unless the light can go around corners. The only way it could work on the R34 would be to use a different medium to carry the light, currently no such medium exists which is suitable and economical for this application (there is a reason why Angel Eye kits only come in round shapes)

Just my two cents :P

For those still dreaming, here you go:

R32 - 33 headlights aren't round either, unless you have the projector style headlamps...

Just retro some projectors into the r34 headlamps. Try this really blew my mind :P

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
