Hey guys,

So since i bought my 34, iv noticed that my headlights are angled too high, and when driving behind someone that is about 10 metres in front of me, it looks like i am blinding them! (and i dont even have HID's yet!)

iv tried playing around with the adjuster near the drivers side, but im pretty sure thats broken.

Iv heard that is a screw near the headlight itself where it can be adjusted, but i cant seem to find it

can anyone help me out with this, and if possible, post up some pictures

thanks!

Most cars have an adjuster. looks like a little cog that you can lever slowly with a flat blade screw driver. I did a 370z on the weekend only I adjusted them up not down. Park 1 meter away from a white wall, put the lights on and adjust. 10mm of adjustment of the beam on the wall will give you about 5-10m on the ground (most cars vary)

white cog if you look at the bonnet catch look left or right and you will see it just behind the light it may have a screw type bolt going to it for easy adjustment or it wont if not go upto a wall close and turn it you will see wat it does then go back like old mate said befor and adjust it right for you

      That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.

      I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.

      Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
