Hey everyone.

Last night, my car got sideswiped, bastard drove off.

Thing is, he left bits of his light assembly all over the place. I managed to put the pieces together in a rather amateur NCIS manner, and on the bottom, it shows NISSAN japan ICHIKOH 3429 L

There was also bits of a headlight protector there.

I wanted to know if anyone has a hook up with Nissan, or can tell me the model that this part came from. Our street is a pretty quiet one, and only local traffic goes through, so it might help find the arsehole who did it.

The only lucky thing is that they swerved away from my Skyline, into the Swift that the missus drives. If the line was hit, I'd be too livid to type this, and probably in a violent rage, or thoroughly drunk.

Anyone who wants to be a smartarse about owning a swift, consider this: If we didn't have that, the missus would have to drive the skyline. Her understanding of the manual gearbox seems to be limited to mule kicking the clutch, and throwing the gearshifter like a softball pitcher's fastball. It's little, auto and usually cheap to run.

We have full insurance though, but the $600 excess sucks, as we're trying to save for a wedding.

anyhow, any help would be appreciated.

thanks

NISSAN japan ICHIKOH 3429 L

ICHIKOH are apparently a headlight manufacturer.

Is "3429 L" the entire code? Search engines keeps returning "3429-L-303" if that means anything :)

You could try calling a nissan dealer parts center?

Yeah did that. Servicing couldn't help and the parts section do not answer their phone apparently. I've sent an email, and will try again later (called three times this morning, 9am, 10am, 11am.)

pretty sure its a lhs indicator off a 2000-02 nissan pulsar.. if you see one near by check it out to see if they numbers match to be 100% sure..

If it is, ask a few panel shops nearby if anyones come in lately with that kind of damage..

Good luck mate,

Johno

Okay the part numbers are a wild goose chase. I recommend doing what I've been doing for you, i.e. looking at the physical shape of the headlight and google imaging each and every Nissan model there is (car classifieds websites are good for this). So far all I've come up with is:

and

and

Looks about right to me. Some googling turned up a russian site where the part is for a nissan bluebird, which is sold here as a pulsar.

I'm going to wander the streets looking for one with a busted left headlight, and will call in to the nearby workshops.

Thanks a heap for that Johno. Much appreciated.

Looks like the Pulsar indicator to me. Is there a pub close by to your house? Maybe go wander around in the carpark every night for a few days, see if you can find the car.

Can you find any foreign paint marks on the Swift?

No paint marks, but there are grey curls of plastic, which I assume are from the other cars bumper.

Really shits me when people do that crap and drive off.

Damn it man, that is cruel!

The NCIS stunt made me lol though... as simple as it seems I don't think many people would think of that. Good work and I hope it means that you find the #$^%&*^%#@$$%^& *ahem*

I am on and off in your area, i will get the word out so people around keep an eye out. Will do my best to find this a-hole. I also had a similar incident but was unlucky with my findings a couple of years ago. You have my eyes and ears bud! Will also contact some places i know that deal with jap specific cars that are a bit more "backyard jobs", never know what could come up. If you want PM me your mobile, i can contact you easier if i find anything.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
