Hey guys

I'm looking at getting my wife some new lights for her v35.

I have seen some sellers on eBay saying that you need to advise them if car is left or right hand drive.

But there are some in the states that don't ask that question.

Thing is I don't wanna spend all that money and they not fit.

Any help would be great

Cheers guys

If you buy lights from the USA, they WILL be directed with cutoffs to the left (instead of the right), they WILL blind oncoming traffic, and will most likely be defected by the first cop driving the opposite direction that is blinded by your lights.

The ONLY lights that fit our cars are made in Japan. Contact Jesse Streeter (www.jessestreeter.com) and ask him about getting you the same lights we got in the group buy. From memory the last person that bought them through him off here in a one-off through him paid $800.

I know its a bit of an old tread, but, if you are still interested... I bought some of the black housings off of ebay (US G35 versions). Only thing, I had to make sure they were for 03-04 as the 05-06 had slightly different shape due to hood and front bumper redesign. I got them for the new lenses (mine were yellow and hazy beyond repair) and the black bezels. The new headlights were halogen, so I simply swapped out my HID lights, ballasts, reflectors and wiring to the new housings. It cost me $139 plus time doing the guts swap. I DID pass Japanese inspection and have never been flashed by oncoming traffic.

If you are swapping the reflectors, you should be fine.. The problem arrises when people use the entire headlights assy from USA, with the LHD reflectors/Projectors.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
