Hey everyone.

Picked up my M35 last week and have been getting things slowly done. Got the TV converted to English - Thanks Andy, alarm installed, new silver number plates (wank) and now blacked out headlights.

In the process I destroyed my passenger side headlight.... (anyone got a spare I can buy?) but its in the car and doesn't look too bad.

If someone can help me out with a replacement headlight I will post up a step by step tutorial with pictures.

Here is a photo I just took:

Makes the front end look so much tougher. :3some:

Yep, looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better. Well done.

You might want to try Yahoo Auctions via Import Monster to find that headlight (although you might luck out on eBay).

Out of curiosity, what parker globe is in there? It looks like a very nice white!

Gave Chris a quick hand at doing this today, and its a tricky one! end results are awesome!

He has both in, and its looks insane, even if his passenger side is a bit buggered, you cant tell from the outside!

It really makes it look loads tougher.

In regards to light spread, we couldnt see any difference to the naked eye, could you tell driving the car home at night chris?

And how good are the pics! haha cant get a quick iphone shot from a photographer i guess :)

I am not too sure to be honest, it was a blue bulb. The passenger bulb is blown though, so I will replace both.

would like to see a pic of the enitire front when it's done and look forward to read the tut. great stuff :)

I will post a quick shot tomorrow.

I gave Just Jap a call and they seem to be stripping an M35. Not too sure if its the same one.

Oh yeah, forgot to ask, does it adversely affect the light spread at all?

Not that I can tell. Drove home tonight and couldn't see any difference.

Cheers.

Chris.

Ahhh...everyone wants their car to look like a S1 C34.... :(

Seriously though: looks great! Try www.halfcuts.com.au - I know they had a M35 or 2 floating around a couple of months ago...

I know I keep plugging these guys, but they're decently priced, and willing to keep bringing in plenty of Stagea goodies as long as they see a demand for it. Sorry if I sound like a constant advertisement, but it's for the greater good!!

      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.
