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 modify required, simply plug and play. need a bit adjustment as those headlight come from US who is on the other side of road against us.

after installed, the right hand light is higher than the left hand, we must adjust them reversed as it may hurt the opposite driver's eyes.

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 ;)

Just got the price of that HID fogs, $1000+, man , you got such a big bonus.

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.

Actually Mine is $250 shipped a pair included the HID bulbs, I used the ballast from old light, buy new sets of turing light and parking light from AUTOBAM sydney, who over charge me a lot.

About your H4 HID, you can fit them in the FOG/High Beam in 03 light, I done it with my 03 light 1 year ago. just need to cut off 3 wire ( yellow, grey and yellow/red ) in my memory.

Frank,

where did you find the lights for $250 shipped? Do you have a link?

So normally before the compliance, is the top part of the headlight unit the FOG/high beam is it? or is it the other way round?

The top part is Low Beam, with D2R HID. The bottom part is the FOG/High Beam with H4 on 03 Headlight.

On 06 Head light, Top part is Bi-Xeon, mean Low/High beam in same lense.

Bottom part is Fog(H1) and Parking light ----a very small bulbs on corner.

Are you still looking for the exchaust???

I thing US guys get a lot of HKS, with very sexy sound.

I was looking into the HKS a little while ago, and i think my car has HICAS which means the HKS won't fit. If anyone wants one the best price I found was around $1850 USD delivered to Syd.

The guy who's looking into wheels for me is bringing in a couple of Fuji exhausts in the next few weeks so I'll wait and see how they are.

I'm also waiting on a guy in the US to get back to me on the NISMO exhaust. Hopefully will hear today.

I also found a really good deal on Borla True dual, $1050 USD delivered to Syd, but I think this is too deep for me.

Cheers

Bobby

How does Fuji sound like, In my memory it is a silent exchaust, please tell me I am wrong.

About Borla true, do you mean the sound is deep?

I should search youtube to listen to that.

Thanks

I have the borla, it sounds porn. very much makes the vq sound like a v12. c-red in perth stock a few v35 exhausts

JK

Yeah i've heard some clips and agree it sounds like an eight/12 more than a six. I spoke to C-red a while back and unfortunately the price is much higher than what i would cost from the states.

Frank - yep the fuji is quite silent. I wanna keep the same sound as stock but louder, which the fuji does in the higher revs.

C-red have the full Borla Catback instock for $1600, maybe a bit less with a cash offer! Ive had a quick look over the net and Borla online is about $1200USD without shipping, online pricing about USD$900 without shipping - but the big pain is finding a company willing to go through the hassle of shipping here. most online stores wont! And shipping would run into about $150USD-$200 depending on who you use, so thats already getting close to $1400, and thats on a good day if it slides through customs!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
