Hey all,

I have an R33 GTS series 1 and what really dissapoints me is that now when I close the bonnet for some reason the front of the bonnet sits over the headlights about an inch when it should sit flush on top. I am just wondering if I can take the car somewhere and they can help me to fix the headlights up as they must need to be sitting out a bit more or do I have to get all new headlights. I have had someone say that they can just be adjusted but Im not sure.

Let me know please.

Cheers

Here you go >

As you will see, the left side headlight looks as though its pushed in a bit and then the right hand side looks almost fine. I dont know what to do.

Cheers

Yeah i thought maybe the bumper horns may have been pushing the headlight in but ill see what the panel and paint place say about it. I may have to get the bumper off and have it heated to bend as it sticks out about an inch on either side as well. Im getting my bonnet and roof done at gold coast customs next week.

Yeah I was thinking that it could have been the prang, it wasnt big, just with my last front bar a dickhead in a 4x4 in mackay reversed into my car and drove off b4 i could get his plates. Can it be fixed? or do i need to get all new headlights? also even though the front bar has been painted, it sticks out about an inch either side of the car, is there anyway of having it bent without cracking and possibly just get it resprayed? or do i have to get an all new bar.

Cheers

      High temp brake fluid?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
