Hi, despite trolling through all the info on xenon globes a cant seem to find any info on how to actually remove /replace them on a m35.

Has anyone done it?

Is it a simple job or is as a friend of mine suggested ,like the v35 which apparently took him 2-3 hours to do.?

I'd appreciate any assistance.

remove the front wheel and take out the inner guard.

thats the easiest way IMO

i have removed the airbox and done it from the top, and the other side only needs some things moved around to get your hand in there. V35 owners seem to be all sooks :P

be a man and get some cuts and scrapes.

i found it easier from the top just to take the air box out. even in the ARX being lifted, I CBF trying to pull the inner guards.

All i hade to move on the other side was the window washer bottle n radiator over flow.

Iaaiaiaiaiaiaian I have to admit, it is a bitch of a job to do on the V35 becuase of the angle the lights are on. My sister is a sook n made me do it on hers. but if it takes you 3 - 4 hours? maybe they fell asleep for about 3 and a half hours while doing it.:huh:

Oh the thing you might be asking about; Theres a grey coloured cover on the back of the headlight, you have to turn it and 'pop' it out, your Xenon is the metal thing there. its not hard to take out from there..

make sure its cold though, xenons heat up alot. i learnt the hard way lol

not too many cuts,scrapes,went by inner guard,and topside for passenger side.Thanks for your help

aaron your sister is still a sook, and im still waiting for pics of her :P

good to hear you did it graham! its not all that difficult, especially when you have done it a few times.

also, dont buy cheap chinese burners from ebay, they start failing to ignite after about a year.............

bahaha dont ask me why she bought the car.. why do you want a picture of her so bad.. but here I found one

Happy?

Yeh the cheap ones go purple after a little while, when they do this they're only as strong as a parker globe lol

Iain loves an excuse to "exercise" his right hand (or left hand if he feels adventurous) :action-smiley-069:

naa,

i bought philips originals from u.s $87 landed per pair.

i dont believe thats her, however that chick is hot.

nice try tho :P

US$87 landed for a pair?? unless they are 2nd hand, they probably arent genuine.

guess i'll find out in about 12 months

dude its my sister? :S

lolol. i did lol sometimes its just luck

And she drives a Skyline... :thumbsup:

lol thats right! a V35 350GT too, not one of the poxy four door ones.

although because she is a real girly type girl she has pink number plates, and doesnt really take much care of the poor car. oh well.

im happy to look after her V and also prepared to service her skyline :P

i also got the cheapy $40 xenons from china, but had to retro fit the chinese ballasts due to removal of my factory ones during compliance :(

your such a twat! LOL

sucks !! be careful with them man, i remember reading about someones evo catching fire because of it. I'de probably just by the headlights if you can. i asked them to leave alot of stuff in my car.. including the factory remote start from nissan :D..

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
