Hmm, I really want to put the original HID setup back like when it came from Japan, I still have to look behind the bumper to check what's there. I can see the balast units for my fog lights but thats it.

That is a pretty easy job if you have right tools.

Just need to take off the head light and do a little modification that will be OK.

nice car man!!!

how much does the carbon intake pipe cost you? I'm looking for one from US ebay, but cost too much.

do you feel any performance gain with plenum spacer?

Hi mate:

Very interesting in your Fog light set.

Would mind let me know:

Whether it is just the Grill kit or the whole new bumper?

How much does it cost?

What kind of bulb does it apply?

Thanks

Hi there!

It's and added kit I'm pretty sure, but must have been done originally as was already there, so not sure on cost either.

I do know they are HID bulbs and there are balast units behind the bumper, also looks like a wire on each side that has been cut and taped up.

I'm yet to pull it all appart and see what's going on in there.

Will let you know for sure once I know :nyaanyaa:

THIS IS MINE.

HEAD HLIGHT JOB NOT FINISHED YET, NEW BULB ON TH WAY.

VERY VERY COMMON SILVER

How do you compare the 07 lights versus the 03 lights? are they any better? I could imagine them being a little worse off due to the small projector?

Thanks

ten times better, much more brighter, (with OEM philips bulb), much better cutoff line,

it is a be-xeon light, which means both HI and LOW beam share the same HID bulb, very useful.

the parking light has been move from side to the downstair area, with a small bulb,

you can easily install another HID fog light there,(that is what I am doing).

I personal hightly recommandand this upgarde, only cost about $400,

Headlight : $250 (including shipping from US)

Turing & Parking light: Philips silver vision $70 -------------- That is to expensive, I should looking for some cheaper thing.

H1 HID fog--$100, shipping from HongKong, crap stuff, but very cheap.

man, i think just a little bit better than old headlights. or maybe i upgraded to 6000k bulbs?

I only think projector looks beautiful and give it a clean look.

btw, did u get second hand or brand new?

Ok just for your interest. Prices arent trade prices btw.

December 05 and onward Headlight Assembly is $1942+GST from Nissan for EACH headlight, including globes and wiring (no ballast resistor pack however)

Headlight body and Lense (no globes or wiring etc) is $1030ea + GST

Part No: 26025CM41A for the RHS and 26075CM41A for the LHS

Tail lights are a similar story if you want to upgrade to the nicer 06/07 model (looks so much hornier than 03!) They are $443+GST for the body and lense. you have to put in your own LEDs from you existing lights.

Part No: 26554CM41A for the RHS and 26559CM41A for the LHS

Frank, can you advise if we need to modify the wiring in any way, or is it simply plug and play? Same headlight globe size etc?

Thanks!

Jai

no modification on any wiring. simply plug and play. The ballast and bulbs are the same.

It took me an hour for headlights swap and remove bumper off and on, .

Why spend $3k, as Frank said , he got his headlights for $250 shipped each, surely even after you've got all the bits and pieces you are still well under that $3k mark and they look like they are in decent condition.

I'm thinking of doing the same, but I have a 6000k HID kit I bought ages ago for my other car and never used them. They are H4 which had the high and low beams in the one bulb. Don't know if and how it will fit in but I'm going to be assessing it all soon.

^_^, mine are second hand, I believe it is from a write off G35, that is why it only cost me AUD$250 a pair (shipped) include the bulbs.

As you said, the 6000K HID bulbs from philips only has a output of 2800 LM. the 4300k OEM 85122+ has 3200LM.

But the upgrade you did is considered to be the best choise----the best balance between color temperature and output.

It also maybe my old bulbs already 4 years old( Jun 2003-- Aug 2007), the new unit is only 8 months?????

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
