Hey guys

I'm looking at getting my wife some new lights for her v35.

I have seen some sellers on eBay saying that you need to advise them if car is left or right hand drive.

But there are some in the states that don't ask that question.

Thing is I don't wanna spend all that money and they not fit.

Any help would be great

Cheers guys

If you buy lights from the USA, they WILL be directed with cutoffs to the left (instead of the right), they WILL blind oncoming traffic, and will most likely be defected by the first cop driving the opposite direction that is blinded by your lights.

The ONLY lights that fit our cars are made in Japan. Contact Jesse Streeter (www.jessestreeter.com) and ask him about getting you the same lights we got in the group buy. From memory the last person that bought them through him off here in a one-off through him paid $800.

I know its a bit of an old tread, but, if you are still interested... I bought some of the black housings off of ebay (US G35 versions). Only thing, I had to make sure they were for 03-04 as the 05-06 had slightly different shape due to hood and front bumper redesign. I got them for the new lenses (mine were yellow and hazy beyond repair) and the black bezels. The new headlights were halogen, so I simply swapped out my HID lights, ballasts, reflectors and wiring to the new housings. It cost me $139 plus time doing the guts swap. I DID pass Japanese inspection and have never been flashed by oncoming traffic.

If you are swapping the reflectors, you should be fine.. The problem arrises when people use the entire headlights assy from USA, with the LHD reflectors/Projectors.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
