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... :(

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
