Hell no!

Made my own with a 10 Ohm 1 Watt load resistors with 1/2" PVC and some soldering. Wired in parallel with blinker circuit. Handles heat well.

$1 for resistors and $2 for PVC & 8 caps. Makes four for the four corners.

I really want to make some LED dual rings though. Those are Niceeee!
Are the resistors just for the load or for can-bus friendly reasons. I'm new to these cars. You should do a full DIY guide. You already have pics.

I have 03 Bi-xenon factory HID lows but my main concern is trashing the amber turn signal lense and a clear lense in its spot. It looks like you replaced the lense in the pics. Was it hard to do

it's just for load, for the hyperflashing in the turn signals

Shoot! Well I wanted to save a little wattage and this was my way of doing it. I stepped up the resistance until the hyperflash went away.

This way the LEDs reduce wattage used... also the city lights are now LED.

I like to think I'm saving the battery because of all this wattage the sub pulls lol.

03-04 non projectors have an HID main low beam and a halogen high beam.

The term Bi-Xenon means a projector that acts as a low and high beam. It activates high beam mode by moving a shield (that blocks light during low beam operation) out of the way. Much less wattage and allows for just one bulb this way!

These bulbs had can bus error cancellers, not a G35 problem.

As for the lens, it comes stock clear on the 05+ projectors. You may replace that amber lens with a clear one (glass most likely).

Most likely not, as BBK's usually require a full sized spare. You have a coupe?

I installed the fast intentions exhaust that I got from Nick05LS. Got straight pipes from the cats to the muffler.

So you got it, congrats!! How do you like it so far? When you buy a new exhaust there's a "break-in" period where the tone will change but since yours is used it should keep the same sound. Great purchase, my guess is this forum won't see a deal like that again for a while.

Seems one of my replies isn't showing up. In a couple weeks I'm gonna have almost a week off so I'm gonna get a chance to jump back on the car.

I'm gonna get a new DA Polisher as a Xmas present for myself and a my car is gonna get some attention with some real paint correction. So it's time to color match paint the door handles, mirrors.

I need your opinions. Everyone seems to Black out the window/door chrome trim. What do you guys think of color matched pillars and chrome trim instead. Car is KYO brilliant chrome silver

I love it! I did notice a loss of low end torque but I think getting a X pipe should fix that.

Can someone please tell me what trim ring this is from. Looks great rather than the boot going over the factory bezel. Just guessing but this look likes the 350z AT5 trim ring. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm ordering one ASAP if so.



This isn't my car but would love to have this wide body kit. Car in pic has 295's sitting on it in the rear. That rear bumper is sex on a G Sedan. Anyone have a name on this kit. I hate the factory 03 front and rears

I don't want to do things twice and I'm ready to get some bigger things going on my car. This thread and the media share G Sedan thread have me so motivated

I swapped my 3.3 for a 3.5 from a 6MT 06 coupe. If I did it again I'd go up to a 3.7, but read the big thread on diff swaps. 3.5's are a direct bolt on but with the 3.7's some are and some aren't due to a different flange and extended shaft. Just do your research and you'll make the right call.

If you're gonna swap, isn't a quaife the way to go? For all the trouble. But I've never done it, only read some reviews

Any clutch kit recommendations?
I say JWT. It's a good driving clutch, hold for drifts, street able but a upgrade from stock. Will work with stock flywheel. Now is the time to upgrade flywheel IMO.

Clutches are like exhaust though. People have different opinions. Besides recommendations. Do some research on personal reviews of clutches. Just to because different people have different needs or wants from a clutch. I drove clutch cars for 12-15 years straight and those high stage, high torque capable clutches just weren't friendly in a daily driver way
