These are the ones I bought.

Also gave the headlights a good clean & seal with some Juice sealer. Wish I could still get this stuff.

is it just a single globe per side? As mine is a cold pack having only one reverse light an extra bit of light wouldn't go a miss

huge difference dale, easy to change?

Pretty easy; took about 30 min.

I got the link to the globes from another member on here, but I can't find his post/how to.

I seeza crank brothers sticker :yes:

Yup. Eggbeaters. :cheers:

Yeah, single globe each side.

You could always bridge the wiring across from the other side if you wanted both on?

Yeah I have thought about that, wouldn't mind having the same lights both sides.

yea cold pack has a tint red on right..

does it pop out? or a is one whole section?

i always get people saying I've got a reverse light out :wacko:

Yeah; the whole assembly would need to be replaced; you can't just pop out the red centre of the light.

All I ever get is: "Let me out; it's really dark in here, and the cable ties are cutting my wrists"... :rolleyes:

Big service day today on the Stagea. Decided to give it some love, since while it's been washed and cleaned regularly, I've just been doing the oil and filter recently.

So, did an oil and filter change using nissan filter, and GW Synx6000. Put synthetic nulon 75w90 in the front and rear diffs, and some nulon synthetic in the transfer case.

While under the back, I noticed it's been driving round without a rear sway bar for quite some time.... :/

It's suffered the dreaded upgrade sway bar, snap bracket syndrome. Anyway, I got my hands on some upgrade steel brackets that Daleo made a while back and put the rear bar back together! Needless to say, it's a bit nicer handling now.... Lol!

So M35 owners with upgraded swaybars, get under your car and CHECK your brackets!!!

Didn't even bite at the murano joke.

There is a Fx30d and Fx50 near my house. They're about the size of the new Jeep Cherokees that are everywhere. But look so much "in your face" than the Jeep.

Started an oil and filter change very late yesterday, first time on this car. The jack and tools all looked like they'd never been used, it was a shame to put a mark them but my trolley jack is holidaying with my sister-in-law. In fact, everything on this car is (or was) so damn clean I feel sorry for it having to do family duties with us. When we got it last June it even still had the factory plastic film over the sill plates in the back, now they've been pulled off by little hands and replaced with chocolate stains on the upholstery.

Wasn't entirely sure where to put the axle stands, at first I went for the chassis rail inboard from the front jacking points but I wasn't happy with the creaking noises as I lowered the jack so I moved them to just near where the LCAs bolt to the subframe, as close as possible to the edge of the undertray. Seemed ok there but I must confess I kept checking them to ensure the metal wasn't ripping. Anyone got a better spot to use?

Also, 4.8 litres of engine oil in a PNM35 right? I did the Commodore (VS V6) earlier in the day and there was definitely more that came out of the Stag.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
