Hey Guys,

I have searched all through the previous threads/posts about 32 eyelids But didn't find the answer i was looking for. I know this has been asked many times but seems to alll ways be to no avail. Hopefully someone may know something new?

So please can anyone point me in the right direction?

here is a picture of basically what im looking for.

i had eyelids for a while...

i just taped around the shape i wanted with masking tape and newspaper then gave it about 5 or 6 coats with touch-up paint from supercheap that was a very close colour match...

never had an issue with peeling etc. even through the melbourne winter!

cheers,

Warren.

There are a couple of places that sell eyelids mentioned in this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=68543

Including N1 in melbourne, they have them listed for r33 & r34 maybe give them a call and ask if they can get r32?

Good luck!

NismoR34,

I have had this post open for a while but as you can see no real positive response. I had previously seen those threads before posting mine.

I have rang: Jetspeed, N1, Motorware and various importers etc, but no go.

I think spraying them my self might not be such a bad idea, but obviously i would prefer the real thing.

Thanks for your reply anyway much appreciated!

Cheers also to "Interloper" and "Wazr32gtst"

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay...the mould is coming along...working on a good mould so i can make eyelid after eyelid with no drop in quality :( there are a lot of 32's out there, and i know that everyone is keen. I will also be looking into arranging professional painting for a few $ more...

Still trying to finalise mounting options so they can be removed if required, and make them harder to snap / steal as I've read that a few people had had issues with people trying to rip them off...

If anyone has a GTR or a GTR gril on their GTST, could you please post up a few pics of the way it (ie - the grill) is mounted as I want to make sure that they will fit GTR's with no modification required.

This weekend i plan to spend a lot of time getting it all sorted, and all things going well they shouldn't be too far away now :)

I'll get some pics up of initial concepts and the like to get your feedback so I can put together something that everyone is happy with. I'll try and get those pics up tonight ;)

If this lot is successful, i might tackle some of the other models too.

I'll keep you all posted with my progress, and if you have any suggestions or pics of what you're after please post them up or PM me :)

Cheers,

Michael

Popped d/s eyelid out of the first mould today... needed to modify it a little, so i'm going to be changing this one slightly, then comes the pass side :(

Batteries in the camera are dead, but i'll get them charged up and post a pic up in the dext day or 2 so u have an idea of the shape of the eyelid.

Once I've got my set and i'm happy with them i'll be making a new mould so u guys get quality goods :P

:D

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?

      Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)

      +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
