finally after all the nagging little questions on this forum... I am now a proud owner of a V35 coupe.

will post pics up once I have the car cleaned.

First upgrades that I want to do is to get rid of all the amber....so I'll prolly end up with smoked indicators off ebay (unless someone wants to comment on the quality of these stuff and could recommend a better seller).

also, I want to get rid of the amber lens on the headlight...any DIY's on how to do this??

thanks all.

Congrats :(

i think you get buy the film for smoking the lights :P

06 headlights will do.

or the cheap option put your headlights in the oven and melt the glue around the lens so you can pull it off. Then cut out the amber lens. Then put in an amber SMD or LED. Messy job. There is a youtube demo of this.

Chris told me over $1000 for 06 headlights

Came across one on ebay US for around AU$700 Delivered. Aren't all g35 parts compatible with our v35s?

I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post a link so just do a search on g35 headlight and you'll find it.

some cars have the lights dipped on the driver's side...so if the G35 in the US has this, then it'll be illegal here coz it'll have a higher beam on the right

Sorry guys you lost me.... Are you saying that because they drive on the left side the placement of the headlights will be different than here?

And what exactly do you mean by the lights being "dipped"?

Got it :whistling:

I also had a read through the description of the listing and found this :

To Canadian and International Customers, these lights although are a direct bolt on replacement for your car, IF you currently have daytime running lights, some simple re-wiring of these lights will be needed in order for them to work properly on your foreign market G35 Coupe or 350GT Coupe. ALSO, if you are in a country where you drive on the left of the road, these lights will have a slightly different beam pattern, and may be bright for oncoming traffic. This is because they are designed for the US spec Cars and roads.

Nice one - is this the one from Perth that sat on Carsales forever? How much did you get him down to in the end? I looked at this one, but found a cheaper black one from a dealer in Sydney (so has warranty for what that is worth). I do absolutely love the Rays though!

yea this is the one that was on carsales. LOL it was on for like 3 weeks but that was coz I had a small deposit paid but had to sell my car first.

I did get it for lower than his asking price but also got much less for my beamer, so i guess the only real winner is the govt with the damn stamp duties.

then again cars do sell a lot quicker over east coz theres a bigger buyers market there. Dealer warranties are a joke, unless its a new car warranty, the rest are not worth the paper its written on. My bosses 911 shat the gearbox...he had all routine servicing and was only late on 1 by 2 weeks and they rejected the claim. Even when the gearbox is a non-servicable item!!!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
