So the red turn signals would be illegal in Australia? I wonder why he would even ask about them then.

I got mine a few months ago from an ebay seller in the UK. I paid a third of that cost shipped!

I love mine

Haha, true. Sidemarkers are much cheaper and easier to switch out though. Oh well, he didn't end up buying them anyway.

AMBER is the ugliest color you can put on the outside of the car.

That being said, go buy them and give me your 2005/2006 tails.

Yep, your USDM tail lights are illegal here in Australia. Funny thing is though - I have been thiking about buying some anyway - as I don't like the JDM ones.

And fyi the G35/V35 was never sold new here in Australia, so all the V35s here are Japanese imports.

Pics of my V35 below

Oh yeah, and the Japanese V35 come in 2.5L, 3L and 3.5L - all NON-awd. Believe it not none of them come awd

On the plus side my 350GT is a GT-8, which is an 8 speed continuously variable transmission with steering column paddle shift ... LOVE IT!

^ Lucky you, there're always some options on JDM specifically unavailable on USDM, such as your GT-8 tranny.

I believe where ever this car being sold under Nissan is in JDM spec w/ driver on the RH side, and being sold under Infiniti is in USDM w/ driver on the LH side.

I know there is at least one guy on here looking for those exact lights you have. Maybe you could workout a trade or something.

Do you know if he has 03, or 04/05 lights? I am looking for 04/05 lights with raised circles in them, rather than horizontal LEDs.

Hmm, good question. If I find the thread, I will post it up.

Edit: Here it is. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...t-upgrade.html

Rico is the guy who was looking for the lights.
