Hi Guys,

just signed up and will post up pics of my car soon. Well I was going to sell my 350GT and no real takers so I said Ill just keep it and do some mods and so far have done the following

Injen CAI

Motordyne 5/16 Spacer

Fujistubo exhaust with exotic speed Y-Pipe

32mm Spacers at the back and 25mm at front

Tien adjustable Coil overs and Shocks (EDFC)

So the other day I noticed fog/moisture in my drivers side head lights after the rain and upto now still has moisture though it has stopped raining. What I wanted to do is completly change my head lights to these eagle eye head lights which are from america.

Question is, has anyone done this and are they a straight fit as some sellers in US are saying the headlights are for Left hand drive cars, which I find quite har to believe, what can be so different?

Cheers,

Jayce

The light pattern is different. the light pattern for a LHD headlight will kick up to the right, which will blind oncomming drivers. RHD headlight have a light pattern that kicks up to the left to light the side of the road.

if , like me, youre not worried about the beam pattern difference between LHD and RHD cars, you just need to check the wiring.

this is a confusing bit...

Non original HID lights wont work on a factory HID car without wiring changes.

some/most v35s had the factory HID changed to halogen type to suit compliance. how this was done could make these eagle lights work... or it might make everything more difficult to work.

just check which bulbs are being used. if your car has H1 and H4, and if the eagle lights have the same, it SHOULD work. if your car currently has D2R and H4 and the eagle lights have different ones, you'll have electrical dramas.

but..... its nothing an auto electrician cant fix for some extra $$

I have LHD lights, as seen here:

To answer your question, they're really annoying arcing to oncoming traffic and its forced me to point them down fairly far. But so worth it :)

Sheldon, those look pretty darn sex.. have you got a shot of them in all its glory at night?

I've been contemplating for a while in getting Aftermarket Vs the 06 OEM headlights..

Do your lights still automatically turn on / off?

Might look at sourcing them from japan to avoid the whole blinding oncoming traffic thing though...

Yoink!

Adding it to my slideshow background on my PC at home. :thumbsup:

If you want some more pretty pictures of my car + other V's check out my website, I'll just link the photoshoot category for you: http://sgv35.com/category/photoshoots/

Whilst on the topic of headlights, I wanna do custom mounts and projectors but a many people have said you need to bake them to pull them apart or something? Have I been fed crap or is this true

So doing it when i get home later..

I think I'll have to buy the pair of headlights from Yahoo japan... $435 sounds like a steal!

+1 for sheldons response regarding the headlights.

I've seen a picture on g35 of someone who tried to do it himself and failed.. it wasn't pretty.

its true - you'd need to melt the glue in an oven and take the cover off.

+1 I was very skeptical about it, but I gave it a shot cause my right side headlight is too far gone oxidised. So in an attempt to clean them I follow the DIY, which does tell you to bake it or use a heat gun and it worked. It should be fine as long as you don't go over 100 degree C and longer than 5-7 mins.

Well I have to get new headlights now, this money should be going towards the HFC... :(

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • 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.

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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
