Help Needed. Car Sideswiped.

Hey everyone.

Last night, my car got sideswiped, bastard drove off.

Thing is, he left bits of his light assembly all over the place. I managed to put the pieces together in a rather amateur NCIS manner, and on the bottom, it shows NISSAN japan ICHIKOH 3429 L

There was also bits of a headlight protector there.

I wanted to know if anyone has a hook up with Nissan, or can tell me the model that this part came from. Our street is a pretty quiet one, and only local traffic goes through, so it might help find the arsehole who did it.

The only lucky thing is that they swerved away from my Skyline, into the Swift that the missus drives. If the line was hit, I'd be too livid to type this, and probably in a violent rage, or thoroughly drunk.

Anyone who wants to be a smartarse about owning a swift, consider this: If we didn't have that, the missus would have to drive the skyline. Her understanding of the manual gearbox seems to be limited to mule kicking the clutch, and throwing the gearshifter like a softball pitcher's fastball. It's little, auto and usually cheap to run.

We have full insurance though, but the $600 excess sucks, as we're trying to save for a wedding.

anyhow, any help would be appreciated.

thanks

ICHIKOH are apparently a headlight manufacturer.

Is "3429 L" the entire code? Search engines keeps returning "3429-L-303" if that means anything :)

You could try calling a nissan dealer parts center?

Yeah did that. Servicing couldn't help and the parts section do not answer their phone apparently. I've sent an email, and will try again later (called three times this morning, 9am, 10am, 11am.)

pretty sure its a lhs indicator off a 2000-02 nissan pulsar.. if you see one near by check it out to see if they numbers match to be 100% sure..

If it is, ask a few panel shops nearby if anyones come in lately with that kind of damage..

Good luck mate,

Johno

Okay the part numbers are a wild goose chase. I recommend doing what I've been doing for you, i.e. looking at the physical shape of the headlight and google imaging each and every Nissan model there is (car classifieds websites are good for this). So far all I've come up with is:

and

Looks about right to me. Some googling turned up a russian site where the part is for a nissan bluebird, which is sold here as a pulsar.

I'm going to wander the streets looking for one with a busted left headlight, and will call in to the nearby workshops.

Thanks a heap for that Johno. Much appreciated.

Looks like the Pulsar indicator to me. Is there a pub close by to your house? Maybe go wander around in the carpark every night for a few days, see if you can find the car.

Can you find any foreign paint marks on the Swift?

No paint marks, but there are grey curls of plastic, which I assume are from the other cars bumper.

Really shits me when people do that crap and drive off.

Damn it man, that is cruel!

The NCIS stunt made me lol though... as simple as it seems I don't think many people would think of that. Good work and I hope it means that you find the #$^%&*^%#@$$%^& *ahem*

I am on and off in your area, i will get the word out so people around keep an eye out. Will do my best to find this a-hole. I also had a similar incident but was unlucky with my findings a couple of years ago. You have my eyes and ears bud! Will also contact some places i know that deal with jap specific cars that are a bit more "backyard jobs", never know what could come up. If you want PM me your mobile, i can contact you easier if i find anything.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
