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 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.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • 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 😂
