not gona lie if i had my max, i'd get those

 

I'd use the bi-xenon capability. Quad high beams are the chit.

You have to slide the cutoff shield down, not the shroud.

Use 100mm CCFL's to light up those vents. If not that then side emitting LED strips along the inside of the shrouds facing foward.

 

I meant cutoff shield, sorry, Chris. I'm trying to multi-task, and it isn't working out in my favor.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm not sure when I'm going to try and undertake this...especially considering that I don't have a spare set of headlights laying around to put on the G until I get this done.

As far as the bi-xenon, can I tap into my OE relay for my stock high beams, or do I need to run a seperate relay to activate the solenoids?

 

Tapping is simple but can get complicated if you have DRL's. You don't have them, do you?

You fool

Honestly, if you really hustle like remove the headlights one night, bake them apart then the next day go to town and fit everything, they should be ready that night. That's a very simple and basic job.

Not gonna lie, they probably wouldn't look bad on your Teg.

 

Working at 3 is dumb. I get up and feel like I'm just sitting around all day waiting to go to work.

Better than working an opening shift at 6AM I guess.

 

No, sir. The only issue I forsee is the fact that my high beams are a fog light/high beam composite. But then again, I'm pretty sure that Nissan wired the two filaments seperate from one another on the harness. It's just a matter of figuring out which wires run to the fog filament, and which wires run to the high beam.



Well, if that's the case, I may just spend all day sleeping, and spend a night doing the project.

From the reading I've done, like I said, the Minis apparently drop right into the G35 housing. So it shouldn't be that bad for a first-time retrofit.

 

I work evenings/nights at Cracker Barrel. So I know what you mean. But yes, I'd rather go to work at 4 PM than have to get up at 4 AM and get ready for work.

It allows me to sleep in, stay out a little late if I want to, and accomplish other various errands throughout the day before I have to go in. Which is nice.

But I also start classes back next week. So there's that benefit, too.

 

Fixin' to head to Lowe's to get some Minwax and mineral spirits. I'm bored, and kind of want to try out this whole re-sealing the headlights thing to see if it really works. I'm tired of my paint looking nice, and the foggy headlights destroying the look of the car.

 

not gona lie, if i find some super old school chromies that look right on it, id rock it

 

I worked at 8AM both days this weekend. I was about ready to lose my mind. Actually felt physically sick from being up so early after being able to sleep in for over two weeks straight.

This afternoon will be interesting. They're forecasting for severe scattered thunderstorms all afternoon starting at around 3. If that's actually true they'll be getting their moneysworth out of my pay for the day.

 

Being that they're H4 bulbs, the filaments are separate. To figure out which wires are which, just use a test light on the harness. It'll literally take three minutes to figure it out.

You can do it. I honestly don't see you running into any issues. The hardest part will be cutting the shroud (if you even have to) but even that shouldn't be bad. Just get them done and then worry about the bi-xenon thing later if you're pressed for time.

 

Oh, also, for anyone who wants it, I still have the picture of the sausage wrangler that he posted in the last Ghustle thread saved on my computer.

Just in case I ever found the ambition to run it through the photoshop and have some fun.

 

3m window weld or the seal strip that they sell on retro's website both work well

 

save picture for future projects!

 

 

I didn't figure finding the proper wires would be too tough. I'm assuming all I have to do is tap the 12v power source from my highs into the solenoid's power wire, right? Doesn't sound too difficult.

I'll get it done, for sure. I'm not too worried about it...my biggest concern was hacking up a set of $400 headlights. Thanks for the info and help, though.

I don't know if I'll have to cut the shroud. If I do, I've got a Dremel, so it won't be too bad.

 

He's talking about sealing the headlight lenses to make them clear again.

 

lol. Nikka.... find me an auto dash harness with auto climate control atleast and i'll trade you for this 6MT one.

I think I'm fcuked because i'm using the auto ECU. It needs to see CAN signals.

 

Oh, I'm not talking about the fogging on the inside. I meant the hazing that occurs on the outside as a result of the UV protectant on the headlights breaking down and allowing the sunlight to oxidize the plastic.

Supposedly Minwax will protect the headlights from re-hazing.

 

Correct. All you really need is power because you can pretty much ground wherever.

eBay headlights are cheap enough if you want a spare set. You can even get the MaD JDM tyte black ones which would look really good on your car.

 

Yeah, f*ck that. Cracker Barrel did the same thing to me. They had me working 4-8 shifts every day (Tuesday through Saturday) and then, BOOM, they had me working an 8:30 to 4 shift on Sunday. I felt terrible the whole damn day. And my manager had the nerve to ask me what was wrong.

Needless to say, I'm back on 4-8 shifts on Sunday nights.

Those storms are probably what's left of what rolled through here yesterday. Luckily, the biggest part of the storms missed my town (they went north of us), and I just got about 15 minutes' worth of rain and some thunder.

What do you do? If you don't mind my asking.

 

I may just steal the headlights off of my mom's G35 and make her drive the Z for a day or two.

I make it sound like driving the Z is a bad thing...

The eBay headlights for the G35 are so terrible-looking, it's not even funny. They're seriously hideous. I couldn't even justify spending $120 on them.

As far as painting the housings, well, I don't know how I feel about color-matched housings on a black car. I think it's a bit too much for a car like the G. I'm leaning towards possibly doing them in gunmetal, or just leaving them the stock silver.

 

I just read through 3 pages of various items on here.

A lot can happen in a couple of hours.

 

Yes. Yes it can.

 

Yup...

And question for you. Will the 03 auto ECU run fine if it sees the transmission signals? Or does it NEED the specific CAN signals?

 

I work at a golf course. It's my summer job and my third year there. Absolutely love it. Probably one of the most laid-back, stress-free jobs anyone could have. Me and the other guys there are basically responsible for the front staging area where people drop their bags off and check-in with us. But our main responsibility is to handle, set up, and keep track of all the golf carts.

Only times things really get ramped up is when there are tournaments (extremely busy moving carts and sending people along to where they need to go) and when thunderstorms roll through. We get the call from the guys inside who have the weather tracking software to clear everybody off the course and there were a few times last year when I was sent out to do that and sht got REAL. We had some monster thunderstorms last year and since the course is elevated and wide open, there ends up being dozens of lightning strikes throughout the course of the summer.

Can't complain about anything besides that though. Free golf at a course that costs 90 dollars per person plus cart fees for locals to play (125 for non-residents) and we make above minimum wage plus tips for the 30 second work of carrying people's bags and washing their clubs. I had a few days last year when it was busy and I would come home with 60 bucks in cash just from a six or seven hour shift.

 

Orly?

I might have to look into working at a golf course.

I know one of my friends used to do the same. She said it really wasn't that bad. All she had to do was drive carts over to a wash station, spray them down with a hose, and park them at the charging station when someone brought them back from the course.

The only thing I CAN'T stand about being at a golf course is that some of the people are SO fccking arrogant that they'd float away if their heads were any bigger...

 

I know a lot of y'all don't like country, but this is a good song:



Lyrics are pretty powerful if you actually listen to them.

 

I got one here in stock.

I'll buy it, send it to you, you send me le Manyah harness.

Chit is gettin real.

 

from what I remember, no, CAN lines don't need to be connected. I don't even think an SES lights up if there is a problem w/CAN lines.

That's going off of memory.

 

Yep, that's what the afternoons consist of. Washing and parking em.

I haven't had any downright terrible interactions with people. I try to be as nice as possible on the basis that I'm hoping to get tipped so usually that keeps people from being outright d1cks about anything. There's a good amount of people I run into that I can tell don't want to be bothered though.

 

it depends on which ones if its with the nats system you fubar'd trust me ive hacked my way thru that whole can crap getting my remote start to work proper in the end it was because i had too many nissan keys on my key chain

 

the cracker barrell got me good the other day my wife went on a church bus trip to lancaster shopping and she brought me back a pancake platter all 3 pancakes were burnt on one side and they faced them so the good side showed on top man those things were Krispy like phatboi's heels

 

This is the 5.5 gen, and only autos have them (2 lines total). So nah, he'll be fine.

If this were an A34 or newer, he'd be in a world of hate and knee high poop.

In all honesty, I have no clue what these lines serve in the 5,5gen auto. It's weird actually.

 

simple single wire 2 way communication to bcm and ecu thru voltage sensing.easy system to hack once you figure out the secondary functions.now if i could only figure out to unlock the steering lock when started without using the key

 

Hey sugartitz wheres my quote for dem parts buddy!

 

So what does it do for the 5.5 gen auto?

I ran without mine for a while, after I figured out that the VSS/TPS were independent of them.

Then, the codes would show up stored after I did that and would get annoying, so i reconnected them half aszed (butt connectors).

 

[QUOTE=Shift_Max;8483025]SSR Comp-C[/QUOTE

Had a feeling, just couldnt think of the name....

 

on the nats side it uses it for communication between the bcm for the doorlocks,pinswitches,security light,keysense and a few other systems to tell the ecm to shut off fuel pump and spark then after 5 tries it disables full system starting

 

There's not a lighter wheel out there in friendly sizes in 17x8 or wider with a 3xmm offset. PERIOD.
