Hi, despite trolling through all the info on xenon globes a cant seem to find any info on how to actually remove /replace them on a m35.

Has anyone done it?

Is it a simple job or is as a friend of mine suggested ,like the v35 which apparently took him 2-3 hours to do.?

I'd appreciate any assistance.

remove the front wheel and take out the inner guard.

thats the easiest way IMO

i have removed the airbox and done it from the top, and the other side only needs some things moved around to get your hand in there. V35 owners seem to be all sooks :P

be a man and get some cuts and scrapes.

i found it easier from the top just to take the air box out. even in the ARX being lifted, I CBF trying to pull the inner guards.

All i hade to move on the other side was the window washer bottle n radiator over flow.

Iaaiaiaiaiaiaian I have to admit, it is a bitch of a job to do on the V35 becuase of the angle the lights are on. My sister is a sook n made me do it on hers. but if it takes you 3 - 4 hours? maybe they fell asleep for about 3 and a half hours while doing it.:huh:

Oh the thing you might be asking about; Theres a grey coloured cover on the back of the headlight, you have to turn it and 'pop' it out, your Xenon is the metal thing there. its not hard to take out from there..

make sure its cold though, xenons heat up alot. i learnt the hard way lol

not too many cuts,scrapes,went by inner guard,and topside for passenger side.Thanks for your help

aaron your sister is still a sook, and im still waiting for pics of her :P

good to hear you did it graham! its not all that difficult, especially when you have done it a few times.

also, dont buy cheap chinese burners from ebay, they start failing to ignite after about a year.............

Iain loves an excuse to "exercise" his right hand (or left hand if he feels adventurous) :action-smiley-069:

i dont believe thats her, however that chick is hot.

nice try tho :P

US$87 landed for a pair?? unless they are 2nd hand, they probably arent genuine.

guess i'll find out in about 12 months

And she drives a Skyline... :thumbsup:

lol thats right! a V35 350GT too, not one of the poxy four door ones.

although because she is a real girly type girl she has pink number plates, and doesnt really take much care of the poor car. oh well.

im happy to look after her V and also prepared to service her skyline :P

i also got the cheapy $40 xenons from china, but had to retro fit the chinese ballasts due to removal of my factory ones during compliance :(

    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 馃憤
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
