All you have to do is trim the tabs off the side of your headlight plug and they will bolt straight up to your series one.

Cheers,

Hi Johno,Thanks for the reply ,what about the ballasts, are they already in a series 1 or not,are there any other changes to make??Cheers GREYPEARL.

no probs mate, the ballasts are part of the xenon s3 headlights.. they should be bolted to the bottom.. no other changes are needed.

Thanks Johno, I was just worried about the extra load on the wiring having the more powerful current draw,now I've just got to find some good ones,what are my chances do you think??

Not sure of the price for second hand ones but if you are wondering what a pair goes for brand new expect to pay $3700 from Nissan or $3300 from Kudos Motorsports.

Hey Johno,I just read in a thread about xenons that the series 3 lights don't have a bracket that attaches to the grill like the series1 do,is this right as another poster told me all that's different is the connector tab which you just trim off??Cheers GREYPEARL.

Anyone know the answer to this??GREYPEARL.

Series III will fit series I and series II but series I won't fit series III because of the said bracket. Your series one dont have the bracket for the grill. As said above you just cut the plastic bit and you fit on to your series I. Balasts are with the lights, bolted under them. Don't worry about extra load on your wirring, you will have less because they are only 35 Watt, your Hals should be 55 w.

Your biggest proble is finding a set , not many series III cars around and all series I and II owners want them that means very expensive!!!

If you found a set in Japan it will cost you up to $2000 by the time you brought them here.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
