The ones you just made (pic above this post) are the best lids i've seen.

Looking very aggressive >:) Good job!

Can you post some more photos of that one? With more light if possible and looking staright on instead of looking down.

If you were to sell these, how much?

Cheers~!

thanx for the compliment, as soon as i get up in the morning i'll post a few more pics.

im quite happy with these eyelids, but i will have about 4 different types for people to choose from.

i knew these latest ones would be the most popular so i cut 5 pairs at work today in case i stuffed a pair or whatever.

the pair in the photo where made from 0.6mm colourbond metal (rustproof i think) sprayed with etch primer rustproof paint, 2 coats, then 3 coats of primer putty to get out any discrepencies, lightly sanded then 3 coats of gloss black followed by one smooth coat of clear laquer, looks professional i reckon.

only problem is i temporarily fastened it with double sided tape so i could post the pictures.

in the morning i'll fasten them down with silicon, that way they'll be secure, but if i decide to remove them one day the silicon will be easy enough to remove with a scraper or just by pealing it off without any damage to the headlight.

i will be selling these eyelids, probably prepared with everything i mentioned above excluding the paint and the laquer, that way all you'll have to do is spray them according to the colour of your car, and gluing them down in whatever way you want...

havent come up with a price as yet, i'll get back to you on that.

thanx for all your input guys, really appreciated.

if you have any other ideas on designs for eyelids for the r33 series 1 let me know ([email protected]) or if you want eyelids for any other car let me know, only problem is i'll need at least the outline of the top of the headlight, if you know what i mean. the way i designed these eyelids was trial and error (cut 1, run to the car, check it, alter it, ran back to the computer, redesigned it, cut it, tried again) or if theres anything you need laser cut also let me know, i have a post in the sau classifieds on laser cut jobs, go there for more info...

well, i think im happy with the final product of the last set of eyelids i posted.

i will be putting these in the sau classifieds for $30 a pair, sprayed with 2 coats of etch primer for rust prevention, followed by 3 coats of primer putty, so all you have to do is spray them the colour you want, and glue them on.

thanx again for all your replies and opinions, it helped alot.

i dont know but how will any1 ever know that your parkers arent meant to be in the front bar and the indicators where your parkers are??

i did it because i thought the orange indicators in the front bar look crappy. plus i wanted some decent spotlights, now i do

laser cut the brackets for them too... laser sure comes in handy

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
