Can you say what brand the lamps (cases) are and didnt you find the originals (koito) ok, except for the bulbs or was it just time top replace them?HiHeadlight cases are aftermarket, with Osram Silverstar headlight H4 bulbs. There are better headlights and bulbs too but those bulbs are way better than the stock ones in the dark.

They are cheap ones, not sure of the brand. Changed them because the older one looked yellowish so wanted something clean and perfect. I believe it had an after market one even before I change them
My taillights are turning yellowish so thinking of changing them again but maybe this time with LED. Here are some headlights:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-G60-...Parts_Accessories&hash=item45ff206043&vxp=mtr
Or just search for 7" round headlight:

Tail lights need to be replaced, they look dirty
My Garmin Oregon 550 with Birdeye Maps + city maps + topo maps
This is after the run, weather was 21 C. The engines stays most of the time close to C, thanks to dual Nissan Maxima direct fans (no clutch fan, always working) + custom 3-channels radiator.

Fuel tank was half. It was a little bit shaky at 170 km/h (105.7 mph) so I stopped. With my old 32" I made a top speed of slightly higher than 210 km/h (130.5 mph), but was way lower than now and lighter.

Looks great (awesome actually) with the 35's and flares! Needs a window tint...
Thanks *_^
Region's police department is exactly 2 miles from home! Took the tint off for registration, maybe I'll get back to PIMP status later

Yup, I have a spare tire but no wheel. My friend told me of a wrecked nissan patrol with similar wheels, I might go check it before. If I'm not lucky enough I gotta pay about 300$ US for one wheel through amazon.com. Wheel is 76$ but with shipping it's a total of 300$!

Thanks, man
Still got plenty of plans to do next, but cash needed *_^ Salute!Haha! Well, I love black color with red accent, not many liked that though. Tried the tires a bit so far and they do more than great! Still waiting for the wet season to check how would they react in mud compared to the old 32" ones. Waiting for my pro comp 15x10 (-44 offset = 3.75" backspacing) to come and will mount a shovel with it. Winch + snorkel + 2nd battery + transceiver later!
Greetings!

Just installed my new LED tail lights, and it looks clean and shiny now! For 45 Omani Rials (117$ US approx) after a bargain *_^
Note: Camera here made the regular/halogen bulbs look a little bit blue and fancy, but they're not! Only tiny red bulbs in the round lights.
