Dude.no.gif

I have two on my car. They are staying on it.

This is a VERY long shot. I feel like I need to explain some things. There would be less than 20 of these cars on the road here, at a guess- only one place sells them. If, by some miracle you find some, they are going to be really pricey. REALLY pricey (like the ebay ones, maybe even more. They are over 1000 EACH from nissan)

As said before, Import Monster / Jesse Streeter. We're trying to help you out here mate, get on to Jesse, give him a parts list, and see if he can help you out. If no good, just get some AR-X parts from around. Surely its a cheaper option.

Good luck mate.

Besides the look, whats the physical difference inside the light? Are they an improvement?

I was looking at getting a new set from YAJ with the HID ballasts. If the PM lights fit the NMs, might be worth considering.

i heard from my build thread that the front bar and bonnet needs changing.

They are about 20mm longer than the NM headlights.

You can see in the pic below with the NM headlights on a PM front bar.

Direct comparison (lights are the same height).

Adam - there is a reason we are pointing you to Yahoo Auctions via Import Monster or Jesse Streeter. Only place you'll get stuff at a reasonable price.

I bought a pair of PM35 headlights 3 years ago via Import Monster for under $500 shipped to my door. Good luck trying to find them over here for that price.

I lol at the import wreckers buying these headlights and fnt bars off PNM35's....

Talk about, "oh M35 stagea- i'll buy that" and not having a clue about the cars...

What should I complain? Good spares for me- I just don't know about all these muttons dressed as Lambs.... whistling.gif

Ooohh, personal dig? You cut me deep there Alex! :P

Only seen two NM's "dressed up" as PM's. Mine (which is being converted back... the ignorant fool!) and a white RX which was on Carsales around the time I was converting mine.

lol @ mutton... some might say a superior heart in the mutton as opposed to the "fragile" lambs ph34r.gif

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
