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!!!

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
