Dude.no.gif

I have two on my car. They are staying on it.

This is a VERY long shot. I feel like I need to explain some things. There would be less than 20 of these cars on the road here, at a guess- only one place sells them. If, by some miracle you find some, they are going to be really pricey. REALLY pricey (like the ebay ones, maybe even more. They are over 1000 EACH from nissan)

As said before, Import Monster / Jesse Streeter. We're trying to help you out here mate, get on to Jesse, give him a parts list, and see if he can help you out. If no good, just get some AR-X parts from around. Surely its a cheaper option.

Good luck mate.

Besides the look, whats the physical difference inside the light? Are they an improvement?

I was looking at getting a new set from YAJ with the HID ballasts. If the PM lights fit the NMs, might be worth considering.

i heard from my build thread that the front bar and bonnet needs changing.

FYP :)

They are about 20mm longer than the NM headlights.

You can see in the pic below with the NM headlights on a PM front bar.

Direct comparison (lights are the same height).

Adam - there is a reason we are pointing you to Yahoo Auctions via Import Monster or Jesse Streeter. Only place you'll get stuff at a reasonable price.

I bought a pair of PM35 headlights 3 years ago via Import Monster for under $500 shipped to my door. Good luck trying to find them over here for that price.

I lol at the import wreckers buying these headlights and fnt bars off PNM35's....

Talk about, "oh M35 stagea- i'll buy that" and not having a clue about the cars...

What should I complain? Good spares for me- I just don't know about all these muttons dressed as Lambs.... whistling.gif

Ooohh, personal dig? You cut me deep there Alex! :P

Only seen two NM's "dressed up" as PM's. Mine (which is being converted back... the ignorant fool!) and a white RX which was on Carsales around the time I was converting mine.

lol @ mutton... some might say a superior heart in the mutton as opposed to the "fragile" lambs ph34r.gif

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
