Can any one help? There was a pair of 210 hot plates on ebay a couple of weeks ago that sold for around $750... did anyone on here buy them?

Some guy just bumped into the back of my bro's car & they managed to crack one of the lenses. Of course the guy was driving a crap box, with no insurance, & 'doesn't speeka da englase'. :)

If someone on here bought them, or knows who did, I might need to get a copy of the invoice or something to show how much they are worth.

I know there is a set for a late/211 on ebay now for $350, but they are a different shape to what he's got. He paid alot more than that for his too, but has recently moved house, and can't find the invoice papers for them anywhere.

So, yeah, if the guy turns out to be a pain & doesn't want to cough up the cash, an invoice might help.

cheers.

Hey mate,

They $770 set went to a guy named Ralf in Germany, who is doing an amazing restoration on a red C210. Oddly, no-one bid on an identical set listed for $550. There are more sets readily available on Yahoo auctions Japan, some going quite cheaply, although you will have to ask around politely in the Japan forum to find someone in Japan willing to bid and post on your behalf. NO-ONE ships internationally from Yahoo Japan. Grr.

Which lense got broken? I have some semi-smashed up hotplates and may be able to salvage the lense you need anyway.

Cheers,

D

Yeah, I've never really been involved with yahoo jp anyway...

If you've got bit n pieces, that would be tops! Its the left hand tail light, the red ring lense on the numberplate side.

Not sure if they come apart of fit from side to side or whatever, so not too keen to bid on the 211 ones on ebay atm either.

So yeah, if you can help out with a lense my bro would be stoked.

Cheers,

Michael.

p.s. those jap mirrors & gt's I got off ya look trick on the car too

Great news about the mirrors and badges and I'm more than happy to help with the lense. I'll try pulling the smashed one apart on the weekend. No promises though, all the wrong bits may be busted!

Ill get back to you shortly,

D

Those JDM lights on ebay are $250 down from $350. That's getting a little more realistic now - especially seeing the chrome trim around the outer edge of the plastic hasn't dissolved into a brown ring of rust yet... Like mine. Shame they don't come with the centre garnish though.

Does this look right? How does $35 sound?

Cheers

sorry about the late reply, work..sleep..work..sleep..

Does that centre reflector part come out? My bro's has a reverse light white/clear centre(which isn't broken)

cheers,

Michael.

hey hey,

I had a play with it and although there is a (seemingly useless) screw that I removed the centre part doesn't seem to budge. I didn't want to push to hard on it though as I'm kind of prone to breaking stuff. I don't see how it can be removed easily though. Maybe it's glued in place. The lights that this lense is from has the reverse light as a separate rectangular lense.

Cheers,

D

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      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.
