From Streeter:

1 Nissan B5230-79972 - Part number changed to B5230-79982 - 1,050yen. in stock.

2 Nissan B5370-89940 - 3,465yen. will be Jun 15 if we order now.

3 Nissan B6331-AQ000 - discontinued.

4 Nissan B6336-AQ000 - discontinued.

Blah. Bloody nissan

Do I need to worry about the change in part number for the switch?

Well I have the left hand fog light assembly completely removed, so I can start looking for a suitably sized replacement light.

If I was to chase someone local to make fibreglass/carbon fibre light surrounds, how many people would be interested?

As an aside, the Narva HIDs I was looking at were $1k, so I'm looking at going Narva spotlights for ~$100 and a HID conversion kit for ~$90. $190 HIDs sound a lot better than $1k HIDs, and I really think with the driving I do spotlights will be better than fog lights.

Jethro & Dale - I have the 2 x Switches and 2 x Relays from Nissan Japan with me :thumbsup: . Also clarified with three sources that Foglight Shrouds are NLA. There was a slight chance that Nissanin Sapporo had some but no go!

Thanks for all your effort Jason; PM replied.:thumbsup:

Re foglights; I think Jethro is gonna hook me up; right?:whistling:

i currently have the aero bar with the fog lights section blocked out. id love some fog lights for it.. really i dont even care if they work or not.. i want them for aesthetic reasons! :) keep me in mind if anyone is placing an order!

I've got 2 sets of foglights. Well I've got a set sitting at home doing nothing. Another set on an Aero bar that's on its way in from JPN. The complete set is destined for Dale :thumbsup:

If you've interested gimme a holla. The owner issue is you're going to have to find the plastic surround shroud thingies for them...apparently a mob in Russia has them for about $55 a peice + shipping.

i was thinking about replacing mine with HID driving lights. it might be difficult to retro fit them to the factory aero lights.

Exactly why mine aren't mounted up yet.

I'm thinking I may have to use the existing brackets and weld something onto them to mount the new spotty to. I need to get more active about that because I want them in for the drive to Melbourne.

Don't buy HID lights though, they're around the $1k mark for decent ones in that size. I got a pair of standard Narva Compac 100s for ~$70, plus a HID conversion kit on eBay for ~$70. Win.

I think the best way is to take the standard mounts off the spot light, bolt them into the bumper, then measure up and weld some brackets in between to mount the light onto.

You can mount them on the bumper (I think), but I don't think it'd be great, as they'd move around too much.

DONT buy HIDs?? if i didnt want HID then the standard ones would be fine :)

however, i WANT HID lol

i think an H1 modified to fit in the hole will work. just gotta go to jaycar with the lamp assembly and try a few out.

No I meant don't buy specialised HIDs, get a conversion kit. Epically cheaper.

So you're going to modify the standard lamps and retain the lenses? Put in a HID kit or something?

Doubt the Russian mob do actually have them?? Worth buying for someone if they do.....

Now that you are getting the Nismo bar - you also have a spare set of fogs with switch and relay available then??? How much did it end out costing for shipping on the bar - pm if you like...

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
