Maybe a newbie question but a search didn't turn up anything useful:

How do you change the oarking light globe? I had a dig around and it looks as though I either have to pull off the whole front bar or pull out the plastic guard liner just to get at the globe holder? Is there an easier way?

short answer. No. :D

I did it through the wheel arch and removed the liners.

I think you could also do it by removing the airbox on the passanger side and the removing the washer bottle on the drivers.

Oh, and make sure your hands are flexible..... Good luck

Cheers

i did a whole HID conversion without removing the front bar or wheel liners :D

yes i have flexible hands. and i remove the airbox/afm and moved the overflow bottle

seriously?! I don't even have the airbox and i reckon i'd struggle toget my fingers in there.

Just pop out those plastic fasteners towards the front of the wheel arch and unscrew the screw that is at about 9-10 o'clock (if looking at the wheel arch as a clock face).

Pull the arch liner away enough to get your hand in there.

Feel around for the parker connector (helps to look for it first to get a general idea), turn anti-clockwise and pull out.

Chuck in your LED with wedge connection (T10?), do everything up.

Should take ~10mins all up.

wish i had seen this post earlier today! I f@*#ed around for 1/2 hour this arvo, pulled the plastic fastener out, spent fruitless minutes trying to feel/get to the parker, failed.

pulled the bolt off the headlight assembly, couldn't remove it, tried to get my hand in, failed.

went back to liner, turned wheel full lock to get it out of the way, thought I could feel the light (hadn't removed said screw cause didn't know it F@*$ing existed), turned, failed.

Gave up, went inside to have a drink! :ninja:

Well that was fun... not.....

LED lights now installed and looking closer in colour to the HID headlamps... Took about 30 minutes to do both, but have removed skin on both hands...

but if the bulbs blow, they ain't coming out...

This is not a job for 6'4" people with large hands...

I found the easiest way to the back of the light unit is to use an hacksaw blade and cut away the f/glass moulding which blocks you getting your hand down to the lights. It doesn,t destoy the structural integretity of the moulding and certainly stops a lot of swearing, just saw between the excisting holes and clean up the edges with a file, makes life oh so easy.

enough time has passed so I might try again. I'll happily take a hacksaw to the b%$*dard.

Are you sure you don't want to leave it for another 7 months? :P

No real need for hacksaws mate (a bit dramatic IMO :down: )

It helps to look in fro the top but to reach in from the side (if your arms are long enough)

      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.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
