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!

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...

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
