Hi everyone, been a while since I posted last. I'm looking, preferably, for an OEM 2007 set of projector headlights for my 2005 Skyline 350GT. Failing that can someone point me in the right direction where I can purchase some quality aftermarket headlights. Perhaps someone has got a set for sale??

Would really appreciate your input and help in this matter.

 

Thanks in advance.

have done the research a few years back when i had a v35, oem will set you back about $2500+ or aftermarket from ebay about $500-700 and quality is not that good, basically you get what u pay and make sure you buy RHD specific from ebay as many are LHD specific Infiniti USA parts.

Thanks for the reply buddy. I'm not too keen ordering a set from eBay to be honest. I have a chance of obtaining an OEM set 2007 from America but they are all LHD over there. Do you know if the projectors can be pointed to LHD? You would think so given they are made at the same factory in Japan??

What about this company called Mars Sports in Aussie, ca anyone vouch for the headlights they sell? I saw these which look OK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCFL-Angel-Eyes-LED-DRL-Head-Lights-for-NISSAN-INFINITI-G35-V35-350GT-Skyline-2D/171267512522?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D37430%26meid%3Dc89a81dd056e47cbac70090dbf8e90ef%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131139343838

Those Mars ones are halogen H7 projectors. Do you have factory HID? Better off with these, as they take the D2R bulb.

I have no idea how the output of those are, they could be just as bad as H7 projectors. Sticking a PnP HID kit into the halogen won't give you a good beam.

Projectors and reflectors are LHD or RHD specific, you can't buy a LHD projector and 'turn it into' a RHD.  It isn't a matter of 'pointing', it is the light pattern which is different..  And definitely don't put HIDs into projectors/reflectors made for halogens!!

Sorry man I don't have a V35. I haven't seen any output shots besides the one:

As you can see, rubbish lol. There is an old thread of people buying that second style you posted (Google "v35 projector headlights", the first SAU result), no output shots though. They seem very expensive to buy and retrofit, so I'd either retrofit the stockers or find a second hand projector set for cheap and open those up.

HID projector should give you something like this (FX-R untuned, unaligned, heaps of foreground):

Or get OEM ones: http://page21.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/j395434936

I had some from the States and had to just dip them a little lower then normal. But you loose light on the left side because of the pattern, makes it harder to see for e.g someone walking on a foot path.

Had them for over 5 years

to bum it just in case if anyone needs like a brand new right headlight from V35 2001 excellent condition

Or open them up and install some RHD HID projectors ;)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
