Does only the left HL turn with the steering wheel?

That's all my car does. There is a picture in a user manual that seems to indicate this light is the only one that moves and goes 30 degrees.

Makes sense too, as you already sit on the RHD of the car.

Does anyone have BOTH lights moving around corners?

I'm sure I've noticed the driver's side light move, but only when moving at speed

keep an eye out next time you're driving at night

They both move, tested couple of hours ago. There is something strange about right one though. It seems that it does not move until you trun wheel to certain point where left one does it instantly. i though that it was broken at first :devil:

Hmmm... my 'AFS' warning light flashes too.

Methinks they buggered it up during compliance. Once I get the Xenons to put back in I'll get someone to check it out. Hopefully it'll be a matter of putting them in and they'll just work.

BTW the 'Auto' lights are awesome!

Have figured it out.

My workshop told me the right one does not swivel right as to not interfere with oncoming traffic when turning right.

Makes sense and consistent with the Japanese pic in my manual.

My error is most probably just because the Xenon bulbs are missing.

Anyone put Xenons back in yet? I have bulbs but reluctant to open it up myself.. Anyone knows specialist in Sydney who does this and at what cost?

I haven't... yet...

There is one V36 compliance shop in Syd and in Brissy. I don't know the Syd one but if you find out you can try them.

Otherwise I would have thought any auto elec should be able to do it. My brother (a shop fitter, not a mechanic) did my R34. I was quoted $100 or 150 for this once from memory... seemed a little high for what most guys can do themselves (except for me, being a very unhandy man).

I was told easiest way to do is to put the car up on a hoist and remove the wheel to gain access through behind the front 1/4 fender.

Taking off the front bumper is NOT recommended - it can stuff up the airbag sensors (even with the car off).

I refitted my HID's myself ... took around 2 hours to work it all out..

easiest way is jack it up, take the wheel off, take the inner splash guard off, connect the HID's to the existing ballasts, done!

If your importer was nice he will make it easy to revert it back!

Aussie standard H1's are CRAP honestly there is no comparison i could barely drive at night with the shit that the HID's were replaced with!

oh, and if your thinking of changing the fog lights... good luck! they are an absolute BITCH to get to! most pain in the pass job ever!!!

Thanks for the info.

I was still thinking of taking it somewhere, as I want to fit a band expander and wire in a USB charger for my Tom tom while I'm at it. Maybe even do an iPhone charger (apparently even with the iPod cable the 3GS won't charge) and talk to them about wiring in a little set top box (for TV).

Is it the one for FM Radio?

Yes. Speaking of which, has anybody done this to a V36? Would be good to know what adaptor is required. Apparantly the V35 is a little different. Assuming you can buy these from Jaycar, have also seen some made in NZ ones too.

there is an ipod cable for v36?

( i know americans got one, but jap spec models dont have a cable available i thought?)

My port looks the same as the US one but to be honest I don't know.

My port looks like that, but I don't have the cable. Nor the 'BOSE for Skyline' badge, even thought I have the BOSE stereo (SP model).

Mines all Infiniti badging anyway.

BTW am in touch with a company in NZ that makes the band expanders - only $30 NZ delivered for very high quality ones.

Still need to work this out: 'Also I would need to know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied."

Anyone know?

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
