is that the autostyle twin headlight kits?

Ah sounds like it alright, at least i have the name of the kit, yeah i think it's auto style, is it australian made?

[Craved]

i might have a chat to them, i'll be making a similar kit for my R33 soon, might have a look at theirs!!!

I was under the impression that Autostyle were never going to sell them as a kit seperately. Instead they just fit them to THEIR cars......fullstop.

Ring em and ask though. Might be worth confirming this.

Ah great i found a picture of that car too!!! It's nice to see some different kits made for the GTR, coz it's really hard to make a GTR look more modern, unlike the supras they are really easy to dress up!

Here's another two interesting kit dat i found on www.carsales.com.au. I can't believe that R32 are selling like below 25k now! must be the work of the 15 yr rule. grrrrrr

actually Autostyle's GTR started out as a GTSt innit I read something like that in the Autospeed writeup?

Also for the S14

anyways the headlights are made by a mob called Infinity in japan. we've contacted them and after a LOT of pleading and begging and international phone calls we've found a set of R32 ones to pull moulds off so yeah who wants a copy when we get aaround to makin em?

Infinity have ceased production of this product and absolutely refuse to make any more... bah humbug... was after these things for the last few years, was quite surprised to see em show up on a Autospeed article. And contacting autostyle is futile, they absolutely refuse to make copies for anyone.

oh yeah...

since then i've grown less n less fascinated by them twin headlights, esp because they don't comply to ADR's completely lol (if you follow the rule book anyways).

Since then I've started making a prototype headlight that should have a clear glass cover (no diffuse) and still maintain twin projector style lights AND a highbeam.

Wow the pic is sooooo cool!!! Thanks a lot for da pic funky monkey. I think this kit really makes the R32 shine. But i can't believe it's so hard to get it! so u guys actually went so much trouble getting a set?

Also u're in mill park? geez i'm like in heidelberg. What car u drive?

[Craved]

the R33's are pretty much like that already behind the perspex, what is this about the ADR's in regards to the twin lights?

[akumi]

I like the autostyle head light coz it reminds me of the R34 lits a bit, more rectangular shapped instead of the roundish shape. and also the colour really matches nicely. sad that's its not legal if u say so

i see your cool kit and raise you a testerossa kit

oh and some closeups of the headlights...

[Craved]

but they are round :confused:

[funkymonkey]

the infinty headlights (can we not call em autostyle headlights please! ) are pretty tacky if you ask me, and they arent' too expensive... i looked att he way the bulbs were placed and I was like... eww.. they look pretty bad close up.

[funkymonkey]

oh and the 2nd attachment in that post with the GTSt reborn was the pic from the autospeed article.

[Craved]

nice close ups funkster!!!

got any of the back?

and what were you saying about the ADR's dude? cant have twin? or have to have high beam? or must have coverings?

[Craved]

LOL - you fixed the post

too quick for me!
