Pasak, i think youve done a very good job! dont do the one that RedlineGTR is talking about cause they look shit. i think the only thing you should change from your original design is to make the bottom edge more angled towards the grill. like what Hotsky posted, but not as much angle as that. only a little more than the original.

this is my r33 with the eye lids that came with it when i bought it

They dont look too bad, but the problem with alot of eyelids is that they look good if you look straight at the car but as soon as you look at it from a angle they look weird and dont go with the car. This is my opinion not bagging anyones ideas or eyelids they have on thier car.

Everyone had thier own opinon, Pasak wanted some photos and i have him some to muck around with never had a knife to his head to say these are the best eyelids and dont make any other ones. My suggestion for these is that the fact that they use nearly 100% of the headlight in thier design as compaired to something that only covers 70%, if you know what i'm getting at. Anyways My 2 Cents.

wil there be a heating issue with them made in steel?? ie with teh lights on?? then again there is a layer of paint over it so that could be enough insulation??

good effort though.....always nice to have a lazer cutting machine on hand:D:D

i spent all day redesigning the eyelids, dont worry, still have the original ones on file, but i copied the look redlinegtr showed me.

i just got home, gonna spray them now, and hopefully they dry before dark so i can post a pic of them

i'll make a whole bunch of different designs, better than working, this way im getting paid to do shit to my skyline.

by the way, the money sux. and i cant wait to get out of there and into IT, but at least ive made the most of it.

ive been cutting stuff for my car for years, stereo brackets, fog light brackets, whatever, whenever i want. thats about the only good thing about it

yes some asshole decided he wanted one of em off my car but he only managed to break half of 1 off, so i had to remove it anyway. I just havent got around to getting a new one yet.

Mine are made from fiberglass and were were made in melbourme. I got em around 2 years ago and i think remember paying around $140 or so for the pair painted to match the car. No spray can paint proper paint by panel beater.

You should epoxy them on or otherwise they are 2 easy to pull off

i think that the problem with the r33 headlights is that they look a bit "sleepy" eyed. compared to say the r34 which is more angular and looks more aggresive. perfect example is how tough the new honda odessey looks :)

thats why i said that you shouldnt follow the curve of the headlights. would be better to get rid of the curve and make them look more angular. but not too much.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
