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?

    • There's no current law that stipulates that you cannot eat dessert with a soup spoon, although, it is socially unacceptable of course, shame on you But, there are emissions laws, which is sort of on topic to the OP's questions Things like emissions are, if anything, going to get stricter in the future for road registered cars I believe, 'Merica has yearly emisions testing in some states, the UK has it's yearly MOT testing as well which includes emissions Building, and purchasing modified vehicles may become alot more problematic if you want to keep them registered, how, if, and when each state handles this is anyone's guess  More food for thought really
    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
