few n00bie questions (asked by a newbie of course)
1) when installing a FSTB, do u jut unscrew the nutz and put that baby in or u gotta take out the springs and stuff too??
2) do you need to take off the whole headlight assembly inorder to change the light bulbs?
3) what replacement bulbs (hyper white, cool blue) you guys recommend for the head lights and fogs? i want to get rid of those ugly stock lights and have nice bright lights without payin HID prices. i prefer something like this (with a light tint of blue, i dont want fully white or blue all the way):
sorry for stealin ur pic arrafio.
i also prefer gettin in from autozone or pepboys since it might be cheaper. you guys have any experince with the ones they sell? they got SOOOOO many different brands to choose from.
4) where to go to buy lights for the interior? excpet Custom maxima and redlinemax.
i have found some really nice ones for the door lights but i cant find any for the 2 dome lights! (hyper white type of lights that is). the one that goes near the rear view mirrior is SOOOOO RARE !
5) what was the link to the site that has all the maxima mods (springs, brakes, shocks and stuff), i lost the link to that site. plz give it to me! the site that is text only and shows different springs and amount of drop as well as lots of other mods!
sorry if these questions have been asked before. i havent paid 20 bux to search yet lol. help me out ! and no flaming plz!

1) No you dont have to take out the springs. Just take out the 3 nuts from both sides, put fstb on. Make sure its snug. Place nuts back on. Re torque nuts to + or - 27 i believe.
2)No just disconnect negative battery cable, wire that pugs into your bulb. Then twist out the bulb. When putting in new bulbs, make sure you dont touch it with your bare hands. Reconnect and your set.
3) If you want cheap with a little blue, i guess you can get sylvania cool blue's at autozone.
4) Other than them, i dunno but i get my leds from

5)You talking about this site?

I don't know if you'll be able to match headlights and corner lights. Tony has 8000K Hanabi HID's and I think 40 White LED's in the corners. I don't think anything else would even come close to matching.
I took the bulb out and stretched the turn signal wire up there and now that blinks

well this guy explained it all very well. not much more any one could add. i would go with the sylvania silverstars for the headlight bulb like element said....but it will be no where near like that pic.
hey nock.......i must be retarded or something.....but i dont get your sig. is it cause it says "skyline" on the back of the car?? if so, i thought that is oem on SOME g35 coupes. a special edition or something.

I ran PIAA superwhites until one blew and then replaced them with Xtravisions after reading advice on how your light output is worse with the "white" bulbs from a reliable source. I can def tell the difference on country roads. I would not go abck to a coated bulb regardless of color. I WOULD isntall HID though.
