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?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
