Hey guys, umm it seems that my headlight on the RHS is nearly stuffed... My car was fitted with 50 watt globes and were very dull, almost dangerously dull, so i got some 100 watt ones and since then all hell has broken lose! Im not sure what is involved in the compliance process to fit globes that meet australian rules. But my mechanic has always seemed to have had a huge amount of troubble fitting the globes in the housing. Ill try describe it to everyone.

Theres a small washer that the globe sits in, round with one side squared off for the flat edge of the globe to sit agains, then both the globe and the washer sit back in behind the headlight unit. but with mine, there didnt seem to be an easy way to get the washer and globe to lock back in place, so that the globe is properly alligned. Now, when i had my 100watt globes fitted everything seemed to be fixed... nice clear bright lights, but about 1 week after they were fitted, i thought one had blown again, the right hand side one, but when i pulled the globe out to see why it had blown after only a week i saw that the washer has melted some how around the base bit of the globe. So it probly hasnt been sitting/alligned correctly since they were fitted, and the extra heat from the 100watt globes has melted the unique little washer thingy, and its stuck to the globe now....

I dont no wot to do.. The globe hasnt blown, but i think its shorting out somehow. Has anyone else experienced this at all?? How can i go about getting it fixed? Should i contact a compliance place and see if mine has been done dogely? Plz help.... im desperate!!

wat the hell is a washer bottle doing near the headlight.....is that normal?

100watt globe woulda melted the bottle and settled all over ur headlights.

best bet is to bring it to someone and try machine all that crap off......

gl man sounds bad.....

Well from memory theres meant to be a wire clip which folds back over the globe back .. I dont know what the hell happened to ur headlights but I got off lucky with my compliance...

Neways my advice is save up for some R34 GTR lights .. about $500-700 difference is they are black!! the surrounds .. Or even just buy a HID setup! group buy on here!

Why is it necessary to post things up in many different threads. It's just stupid mate.

I actually replied to you in your other thread, but I feel like deleting my reply now.

Anyways, I do research experimentation on optics and lighting circuitry, so if you need advice, pm me.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
