I was looking at the 2006+ HIDs on ebay.com (USA) just today... The ones from the Infiniti G35 are the same (as they are the same car as the 350GT).

They look pretty damn sexy, and don't cost that much in the scheme of things.

Yep exactly. As Chris said the US versions are designed for the US roads who drive on the opposite side to us here in Aus, and Japan. So the lean will be on your right side headlight, going into oncoming traffic.

How bad is it? not sure, i know there is one member here who has done the conversion.

I may be able to get my hands on the ballast and ignitors if you want the current headlights to be xenon, but it won't give you projectors.

Cheers

The question was about fit and they would :(

Nah you are right. You can also find them on yahoo.jp auctions, use Import Monster or something. Probably looking at $6-700ish/set deliverered if you are lucky. I was trying to keep it simple

Hi Penny,

No I don't sell HID kits but a mate is a bit of a HID guru and does alot of conversions in the motorbike world.

He can get any part of the stock HID kit you need, from Ballasts (which should hopefully still be there as Chris said) to ignitors which are usually cut during compliance.

As an example in my case the Ballast was still there as it forms the cover for the high beam (at the back of the headlight) and I just needed new ignitors. He got these for me for around $100, joined two wires added globes and i was back to Xenon. 30mins work.

If you know what you need let me know and I'll see if he has them. He loves the stock units on the V35's and uses them in a lot of conversions as apparantly they are a nice reliable unit.

Cheers

Bobby

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
