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.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
