M35 Blacked Out Headlights

[stagman]

Plug away but they couldnt help me with a price for a turbo halfcut only the DD, didnt seem interested.

There not the best with prices becuase they dont seem to know what things are worth. I went there and named a price, got my parts.

Well whatever you do DONT stuff up your headlights like I did. Called everywhere for a spare and Just Jap want $700 for a single light with a large scratch on the lens. A new one from Nissan is $2583.00 for ONE light....

I will hold out and see if I can find anything cheaper. The light still works and looks OK, I am just fussy.

Here are some iPhone shots.

I blacked out the top of the rear lights too.

Can you please explain how you did that?

I will post up a step by step tutorial when I get a spare light.

Its not that simple, and I managed to ruin my passenger light.

I called them about the engine, they want $4500, a grand more than they paid for the whole car... I could import a complete straight car from japan for around that.

Yeah they are cocks hey.

... while on the topic of engines. does anyone know out of interest, how much modding would be required to a nissan maxima vq25de to go into the stagea with the added turbo?

just wondering if that is a cheaper option, obviously providing you don't have to replace or upgrade half the motors internals.

[zei20l]

to hit 1bar of boost i guarantee the pistons are different at the very least, valves would be too i imagine. externally there are plenty also!

the block itself might be the same, but i dont think anyones opened them up yet! no one in australia anyway

[scotty nm35]

VQ35DE would be a cheaper and better option wouldn't it?

I have heard the stock 3.5 has issues at the power level i'm at now. You would have to do the bearings, rods, pistons and rings at a minimum, with either bottom end, if you were to keep the turbo.

is this the sort of process you used: http://forums.evolutionm.net/lancer-how-re...pdate-pics.html

[Angus Smart]
