  1. Motordyne is also American. Their version of 'bolt-on' requires cutting and welding equipment, and it doesn't matter what part you are talking about.

    I believe the point that Iamhe77 was talking about was that the quality Japanese brand 'bolt-on' equipment is just that, bolts straight in with no modification required and the gains are there as the R & D has been done.

    I can not tell you how much profanities came out from under my car when Iamhe77 & I fitted the Stillen exhaust to my V35.

  2. You shouldn't need to open the headlight up.

    The best way to tackle this problem is by doing some recon work first, and actually looking at what you actually have versus what you don't have.

    Jack the car up, take a wheel off, remove the inner rain guard and you will have excellent access to the back of the headlight.

    Pop out the top cover(globe) and inspect the setup - is the HID socket still in there and connected (to the ballast), is the ballast still bolted to the bottom of the light.

    If these questions are answered with a 'YES', then all you have to do is get power to the ballast, remove the adapter plate for the halogen globe and fit some HID bulbs.

  3. Exhaust is probably the only modification i'd personally use a knock-off brand, it's like a post i wrote in a different topic about suspension i will NEVER use anything i've never heard of. I will only use well known products that offer warranty etc i don't mind paying the extra $$ for peace of mind!

    Interesting statement since you will also not buy a set of RDA rotors because they were being sold on Ebay. :whistling:

  4. The socket and cable to the ballast should still b there, (socket tucked to the side).

    The wiring would have been modified to eliminate the ballast altogether.

    Remove halogen bulb, reconnect + & - to ballast, remove globe adapter, fit new HID bulb and you should be back to factory.

    Yup looks like the one in the pic.

    So all I need is the wiring and globes?

    Would these fit?

    Thanks

    These will not work unless you are using an aftermarket ballast, they will not plug into the factory ballast as they are hard wired.

  5. pv35gt8 he never mentioned anything about fault codes .... read the topic content before you post ....

    And sonicii in my 03 coupe it most definitely does work - I can feel the difference and see the fuel economy difference when I reset my ECU. Why else would they tell you in the installation instructions of things like the Kinetix upper plenum to reset the ECU via this method after fitting the upper plenum to see results? Maybe the series II ECU is different, but I can't imagine for a second the cars auto tune saves to flash.

    You need to retrieve the fault codes and clear them before you initiate a relearn.

    Simply disconnecting the battery and letting the system completely drain any residual power will not reset the ECU.
