Morning NICO - Vert owner with a question

[docwra]

Hello NICO - Im docwra, and as well as a 350Z, an S13 driftcar Ive got this here Onevia convertible:







Since those pics were taken, the headlights have got stuck up - Im 99% sure its because these little blighters have burnt out:







We dont get these on UK S13's, so I thought I might ask here - does anyone know where I can get another 2?? My smooth looking car doesnt look quite so smooth with the lights stuck up all the time

EDIT: I should probably add that its a factory JDM Onevia, which now has an SR20 and various other trick bits on it - its not US car

EDIT2: What the hell is that smiley about??

that is one awesome looking ride I'm sure someone here can get that for you or at least direct you to were you can get one. and welcome to the vert club!!!!!why did the US get the crappy version and everyone else got the nice stuff

[docwra]

We didnt get any convertibles in the UK at all. Or Silvias, Skylines, the S15, SR20 180SX, Infinitis ........... not really much interesting at all

[biggie]

You should have has 180sx cars over there, they should have the same assembly, correct? If you are in UK and the dealerships there don't carry it, then there are a few places here that should be able to ship them.

[docwra]

Ive got an RS13 200SX and it definitely was not fitted on UK cars. I know some guys with 180SX's and they are pretty sure its not on a JDM 180 either, so its either from a USDM Onevia (240SX Vert) or a homemade special.

The second one scares me, quite a lot.

[biggie]

If your boot cover is part of your car, then its not USDM. Best guess may be a JDM Silvia Vert which someone swapped the front end. Would check the VIN or other identifing numbers on it.

It is a JDM Silvia that someone Onevia'd I think, but it appears they didnt use the components from an RS13 (180SX/200SX) which is why I wondered how the US ones were set up. If thats not a US part then it looks like a bit of a homemade special

[94_240sx]

Where did you pull that part from? This is headlight assembly on USDM s13 240sx. I don't see it in here.

[biggie]

Yeah a pic of where they were pulled from could help. And also find the numbers on there and searching for that.

[holemilk00]

they are relays used by various car manufacturers. Toyota's, Nissan's, Honda's, and so on. Its a Denso part #056700-5260

You can see them here on post #3 in the picture they are all the way to the right.

They can be ordered from many different places.

Welcome to Nico!

You've got a beautiful vert. Very nice!

holemilk, you are a legend sir.

They actually sit in line on the loom where it goes past the battery on my car, but as I say its different from a UK RS13 and from your comments a USDM Onevia/240SX, so I guess someone has bodged it together.

Thanks for the kind comments on the car as well - its got an SR20 with a V mount intercooler, GT28R turbo and some bigger injectors in the engine bay, Cusco coilovers and adjustable suspension arms all round, 1.5 way diff with a J's spec crownwheel in it for bastard fast acceleration

Bodykit is Kazama/Koguchi/URAS and the wheels atm are Blitz Type03, but Ill be swapping them for some Gram Light 57f Pros at the weekend

It was a driftcar in Japan, and its still pretty handy - Ive actually drifted this more than my RS13 drifter in the past couple of months

[Azrial]

I could never drift a car that rare and feel confident about doing so. It is a sweet ride. If you brush off the rust on that "blighter" You should be able to figure out who made it or at least pull some numbers off of it. Probably a mazda part or something. At worse you can probably just buy the entire headlight assembly off a us 240sx but they should be the same as the 180sx assembly that are there. Or if you get to frustrated by it you can just ship the car to me. I'll trade you mine straight up

Thanks for the kind offer but Ill decline for the moment. Strangely enough you arent the first person to offer

Well on the case of finding a replacement now - it seems to be used in most Japanese manufacturers but finding a specific model is tricky.

And as for drifting it, Im afraid I cant help myself. 7 sets of rear tyres on my 350Z in 14 months kinda prove that and that one is road car only. Naughty naughty.

Hello NICO - Im docwra, and as well as a 350Z, an S13 driftcar Ive got this here Onevia convertible:

never mind the car, whats with the two fat people in the back, it looks like one is giving you the finger and the other one was just too late. oh and there is a 300zx wheel between them

[S13_convert]

Toyota Previa or Estima in JPN

<thread_jack> S13_convert: what are your wheels and tires? <thread_jack/>

[S13_convert]

<thread_jack> S13_convert: what are your wheels and tires? <thread_jack/>

They are 17" Sentra SE-R SpecV wheels off a 2002 with 215/45R17 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx rubber. Oh, not to mention the 25mm spacers all the way around to make up for the offset and have it sit pretty.Sorry for the thread jack

Believe it or not they are both EDC drivers (European Drift Championship) so have reached the pinnacle of their sport. Ill let them know they are fat though guys - cheers

youve got to love any sport you can do with a gut. BTW I didnt take the pic so it wasnt me they were giving the finger

[-RJ-]

Ill let them know they are fat though guys

let them know that their fingers look like bloated sausages.

[docwra]

Sorted it - after getting the product code from holemilk (still a legend) I managed to source a couple of relays from a Kawasaki GPx550 motorbike. Headlights are now where they should be

Cheers for the help guys
