well after last weekend, I've decided that so I don't have to spend night after night annoying my neighbours with power tools (and then feeling guilty even if it isn't late) I'm going to be seeing someone this Saturday to get a quote to have them moulded and have a small run made up. So I won't go quoting yet in case my best guess is waaay off :Oops:

Will let you guys know as soon as I know. Thanks for your patience :)

I don't think I'm going to bother getting a run done of the stick on eyelids. If people want those, please let me know (drop me an email) and i'll make them up. If the demand for them increases (for the stickies) I'll look at getting a small run done ;)

Sorry guys,

I've been waiting to confirm all of the details before posting up :)

The moulding process takes 3 weeks once the originals are finished. I'm aiming to get the originals painted next week, so it'll be about 4 weeks (once the originals are painted) till we have ready made parts :(

Price per pair is $150 :) and that will be for the bolt-ons.

They will have 2 mounting points (one at the outside, and another inthe middle of the headlight), and to accomodate those who's cars might not be as straight as we'd hope - they'll have metal brackets which will bolt the eyelid to the car (these will be supplied obviously ;) ).

It's going to cost the same for me to get stick ons made so I don't think i'm going to spend too much time worrying about them. If anyone does want stick-on's for whatever reason, email me and we'll work something out. Doesn't seem like there's too much interest for them anyway.

So i guess it's time to start taking official orders :) Please send me an email if you have any q's or would like put an order through. Pic's of the finished product will be up once the first set have been made from the mould.

Please let me know if you want them painted. Painting will cost more obviously. If you want them painted please supply me with your paint code and I'll arrange a quote.

P.S. Please make sure you email me if you are definitely interested. This will help me work out numbers :)

Will have pics in about 4 weeks :D

:P

  • 3 weeks later...

Well lads...they'tre painted and off to be moulded this afternoon :O They look great, better than I thought they would. There were a few delays with the painters, but we got there in the end.

I'm still shopping around for a good price on the paint, so if you guys can recommend any painters please PM me :)

Not long to go now :(

:D

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
