I would have done a straight swap...considering you'd have to pay $$$ to get your HID converted to halogen anyway.....if you end up being stuck just PM me, I'm in Brisbane too.

Dan

I don't have to pay $$$ to get my HID converted. I have to pay $$$ for a pair of halogen headlights. I can either pay $$$ for the halogens and sell the Xenons for $$$x2 or do a swap with someone plus a cash adjustment of only $$ and not $$$.

Who in their right mind would do a straight swap!? Try getting a pair of Xenons from a wrecker and see how much they cost :)

Fair's fair.

I'd be interested in buying them as I'm contemplating doing an R34 headlight conversion on my R33 Gts-t.

What price would you sell them for straight up?

I think I still have some metal inserts that will allow you to use H1 halogen globes in your xenon housings.

PM me if you're interested and I'll dig around.

Thanks man, but I need the full halogen headlight assy for compliancing. They won't accept a Xenon headlight with a halogen bulb.

U guys realise that a xenon headlight assembly cost 2600 each from Nissan. I know cause i just bought one 2 weeks ago for 1400 at a wrecker. Thats 1400 each, second hand. Hey Rigo if u cant sell it here call some of the Sydney wreckers. I bet u could sell it easy for 1500 a pair. Try powerplay in Sydney they were selling them for 1500 each.

Hmm ... i wrote a reply but it didnt get posted. Just thought u guys should know that Xenons are 2600 each new, i just bought a front left side, second hand 1 for 1400. So Rigo if u dont have any success im sure the wreckers would buy your pair for 1500 quite easily. Last time i checked a stock complete headlight assembly from Nissan is 900 each.

Yeah, I'm gonna sell the lights separately now. I have already sent the car to Sydney for compliancing so won't be doing a swap. I will give a couple of wreckers a call.

Thanks...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
