Nice find Jethro! :thumbsup:

Someone will probabaly swoop me though...:rolleyes:

yeah should've PM'ed u eh?

Seems like there's quite a few aero front bars going for 200-300 now the the AUD is a tad stronger...

thought u're still going foggies?

when I get the shrouds u can have my blanks..,

Nah all good :thumbsup:

I will be going foggies; but I want to get my parts painted and on the car shortly, something for the meantime... Maybe I just need to be more patient.:rolleyes:

If you decide to order the surrounds soon ; please send me a PM before you do, and I'll give you cash to get me a set, I'm happy to split any shipping cost with you if it means we can both get them cheaper.:cheers:

Cheers, Dale.

Gah...FTG Nissan came back to me saying Nissan Japan are saying the shrouds are no longer in production...WTF?!

The car's barely 10 years old!

If this is true I take it any M35 with front aero bar that stacks won't be repaired using genuine new OEM parts?:wacko:

true. if you can get decent ones made up in carbon fibre I might even trade mine in for some custom ones that let me fit different sized lamps. surely going to be cheaper and more useful than US$400 for ONE new fog lamp! :spank:

ok got a response from megazip.ru

Hello, sorry for delay response,

We can supply these parts

Prices are

B523079972-17$

B537089940 -58$

B6331AQ000 -53$

B6336AQ000 53$

For 1 qt.

Delivery price is 40$

Shipping seems pretty reasonable compared to Japan...so all up about $200 landed...for 2 plastic rings, a switch and a relay...

bloody hell...have a feeling it won't get much cheaper >_>

I'm still prepared to lend you my shrouds to make Carbon or Fibreglass copies if you want? Don't know what the costs would be like.

Thanks Leon; the issue I have , is the guy I''d like to use seems to take forever and a day to get things done. I'm happy wasting my own time for stuff I want, but I won't waste other peoples time.

Once I have a set I might look own this road; but I don't want to borrow parts from people,thenhave this guy take forever to return them.

Ironpaw, let me know when you're ordering and I'll sort you with some cash. Split the cost of shipping = win!:cheers:

Cheers, Dale.

Umm, that was actually Ryan that offered his blanks. But not to be outdone, I would have offered mine to you Dale, if I had them :) I have the foggies in already tho.

If I had the front bar with empty holes like you, I would make something up myself, you know - fashioned from a piece of plywood, bark & bobby pins etc - MacGyver style LOL.

Doesn't matter what it is 'cause after you paint it matt black from a rattly can no one can tell :thumbsup:

I don't have blanks, I have the actual fog light surrounds, and I'm happy to remove them to get replicas made. Someone in Adelaide is most convenient, but whatever.

Depending on time frames, I'm probably happy for you to have them for 2-3 weeks while molds etc are made, because I may be after slightly different ones anyway and I don't want to butcher the factory ones.

Was Megazip.ru able to supply the surrounds?

Yes they are, I'm just being tight and waiting for a couple more quotes to come in...

Are you able to find out how much it'd cost to get them made up?

    • Yeah, whenever I say "HP", I mean HP. As in, at the engine. Allowing for a 25% discount from engine to typical Ozzie braked roller dyno figures, then subtracting the usual (more optimistic) US inertia dyno offset..... you get into the 600 actual engine HP territory from your 484 wheel number. 484 / 0.75 = 645   (that's Aussie rw intertia HP, converting to approximate engine HP. 645 --> 600 is discount for inertia dyno. Could actually be worse than that. But that would still be up around 600. So near enough for purposes.
    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
