Due to some little dirtbag waste of space throwing something at my car tonight, I'm now in need of one new Cibie fog light for an M35 aero front bar.

Would anyone have a spare? I'm betting its going to be just under insurance threshold...

Thanks,

Ryan

Damn Ryan, that sucks!

These are very difficult to source mate; Ive been trying for quite a while to find some. They only appear in Nissans listings as part of a complete bumper assembly ($2500)pinch.gif No individual part number. And becasuse they are a "dealer option" they are difficult to even find in FAST.

I have a link that I'll dig up for you tomorrow; maybe you'll have some luck.

Cheers, Dale.

That'd be great Dale, thanks!

Complete bumper assembly seems a bit excessive, but I am insured, and I'm that anal that I'd probably do that if I had to.

its a shame you didnt catch the guy :(

he may have suffered a 'fall' during the chase.

anyway, they DO appear on IM from time to time, i hope you find something

Thanks Iain.

Was thinking of trying to find some spot lights the same size. I don't really need fog lights in Adelaide, I'd get more use out of spotties.

Will keep an eye on IM too. Have Streeter getting me some stuff at the moment.

Ah ok. Is there a specific one you'd suggest, or you've seen? Otherwise I'll just go through the Narva and Hella catalogues. Pair of HID driving lights would be heaps better for me than a pair of fog lights.

something like this might work for you

http://www.hidlighting.com.au/HID_Driving_Light.html

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/body-styling-lights-driving--fog-lights-cat2_36_352

there was a company around a few years ago called xenall but google yeilds nothing.

youll need something about 4" size to fit in.

there are a few decent and not-expensive kits around. if i get a spare $200 i might get a set for my car and flog off my factory lights

Looks good. Might get a price on these: http://narva.com.au/products/browse/compaccompac-hid

Dad gets trade, and they'll be easier to return if they're no good.

Seems like a better option than hunting down an original fog light, and I'd say it won't be _too_ expensive.

do yourself a favour and get some of these.

http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=249

complete with quality HID kit for 170USD, plus, you can also specify your current globe type and get it will come with Plug'n'play connections.

I think they're too small though?

Went out and measured mine, they're 110mm across, and those Blazers are 65mm. Looks like they'd be easy to fit though!

What about these from the same site? http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=125 Seem to be the perfect size?

I'm going to get a price on these, since I know I can get them locally: http://narva.com.au/products/detail/compac-100-hid-driving-lamp-kitbr-12-volt-35w-100mm-wide/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=720&modal=true&parent=driving-fog-lamps-popup-layout

Hey Ryan I'm in the same boat mate my right spottie got smashed on my m35 aero driving past a dude mowing his lawn! Threw out a rock, What are the odds? Got a quote from just jap for $ 300 new and a quote from my local Nissan dealer $ 585! Let me know if you find something cheaper

$300 new doesn't sound that bad really.

I priced up a few different sets of spotties, all were around the $100-200 mark. I was thinking of going HID, but they're around the $1k mark! :O

There are some good ones in the links above.

I've just taken mine out so I'm going to start measuring up and see what fits. I was looking at these: http://narva.com.au/products/detail/compac-100-hid-driving-lamp-kitbr-12-volt-35w-100mm-wide/noheaders/1/?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=500&width=720&modal=true&parent=driving-fog-lamps-popup-layout

I found out those, the HID versions, are $1k, but you can get the non HID version for around $100, and a HID conversion kit for $90. As long as they fit thats what I'll do, just need to measure up.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
