Hi Guys,

I have a 2002 4dr V35 and the forn headlamp covers are a bit faded/misty. Does anyone know if these can be replaced and if so where from.

I have been searching for a couple of weeks but can't locate any.

Cheers

Lee

2 words: meguiars plastX

i have a bottle sitting in my garage that i just bought, but am yet to use

but from all reports on the G35 forums the stuff is golden in getting rid of the oxidation on our headlights

its hard to find and i could not get it at usual meguiars stockists like repco or supercheap. you might be able to get them to orer it in if you like. i just went with eBay and bought a bottle from an online store:

hope that helps and saves you buying new headlights!

just so you know, plastic is a bitch to find a product that will polish it. there aren't many around at all..

cheers,

Warren

glad to help

and given its a large bottle it should give quite a few applications

my only concern when i do mine is that when they are polished they will simply oxidise again in a few months time

i was contemplating going over them with a layer of car wax of some kind to keep them UV protected but i'm not sure how that would go on plastic..

Yeah that would be good to source some sort of protection for the lights.

The dealer that I got the csr off said the "misting" was from a chemical they put on them in Japan to protect it from the snow. Not sure if it BS but I knew there would be something I could do to get them right and I had been able to polish most of it off so I let it slide!!

  • 5 months later...

Use is straight lines if you can too...

There is another product that can even remove scratches, but you have to be really careful with it and I have not seen it commercially.

As per the Thread name, has anyone made any headlight covers for a V35?

"Light Skin" might work, it is like a thick contact, made by Aunger I think...

Super Cheap sell the Light skin, with all the other H/L protectors.

You do have to cut it to shape though, and it is quite thick but it can be done.

I have it on my GSX-R.

The rounded shapes would be a bit tricky though...

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
