Cheers,

I just got a permit for 48 hrs to get some work done for the registration and it seems that the diff has shat itself before i bought it causing the wheel studs to snap.

From inital inspection it seems that the diff is missing several teeth causing it to loose grip on the rear left wheel. When it grabbed it brought through a whole heap of force and bam it hit the studs and they were the weakest point.

New diff time. Super.

Bad Luck? Nah the guy i bought the car off is just a complete tosser and lied about its condition. Alot of love needs to go into it to get it going but once it does,

As for the diff, the 2 way will defiinitely be where it will be in time. But i need the car on the road. I will see what needs to be fixed with the diff once its been replaced and fix it (or sell it)

Cheers, for the ups on the site. Its still under construction as im playing with the skins. The ladies are teh bombz0r and i have many more to add. Soon it will be locked down as it will feature footage of the cars of perth doing their bizzy on the strezzy, its not designed as club but for my crew and their boys to host there shizzle securely.

Where the car stands:

1. New Carpets - 50% done should be done by Tuesday morning.

2. Diff replacement - Fitted by Thursdayish.

3. New seatbelts (front and back), Fan Cover(sourced), Fusebox cover(sourced), Front Kick panels, Front Intrusion bar (hopefully sourced)

4. Full service and tune.

5. Seems to have some body damage on the front left hand fender making the head light sit out of place. It will need to be pulled out.

Then Rego. I was hoping for early July but it will take a miracle. Looks like the tax refund wont be paying off the CC but getting the car to the track.

Cheers,

sh!+ tofu i just read your whole thread, you have had a bad run. I have to say i admire your good temper with all of this. Most people would be so crushed at buying there new car in this state they would come on here and whinge for 3 pages. Best of luck mate

man who ever the guy who sold you the car is nothing but a loser. i cant believe someone would do such a thing... now its gonna cost you an armand a leg and what not to do it all when all he could have done is be honest...

im feeling ya tofu best of luck dude!

Cheers,

No point in whinging really and its not going to achieve alot. When the car is finished it will be worth it.

The diff has been organised and will be fitted late this week early next week, sourcing a modified front intrusion bar as we speak and should have one priced and available next week.

As for the small front end damage, that can be looked at once the diff is fitted.

I have some good mates at Jshop so I am being looked after well.

Bad Luck? Nah the guy i bought the car off is just a complete tosser and lied about its condition. Alot of love needs to go into it to get it going but once it does,

haha oh i know that feeling all to well....

but dude, your "no point complaining, ill just get it fixed' attitude f**king rocks.

go son go, ps. you own me a ride when its finished if i remember correctly :)

steve :wub:

fo shizzle! Only way to be. If I rush it I will f**k it up, if I get angry i will f**k it up. Do it right and do it proper the car will thank you in the end.

The diff is being replaced as we speak. C-Red is handling the replacement. $160 for fitting at C red, $350.00 for the diff from Ben at KYP.

Oh you can have a ride if you have the nut sack to take it.

Andrew :D

Sup dudes

yeah its bad luck what happen with this car but its in good hand with me helpin Tofu gettin it all ready and over the pits,

Reprasent with the jshop decals :D

i say all up and running by latest next week then will be ready to hit D land

wel you see i cant really sell it when it doesnt move lol

so yeh, i thought id get it fixed then keep it for a bit, then sell it.

wil have spent way too much money just to keep it auto and rbo20det.

3k down the drain

so yeh probly keep it for a bit. :D

One Step closer! just purchased the following:

1. Front Intrusion Bar

2. Front Bumper (optional)

3. Kick Panels

4. Fuse Box Cover

5. Fan Cover

The Intrusion bar doesn't need any modifications at all which will allow for easy fitting especially the front bar. I will roll through the pits with a stock front bumper instead of the vertex for now.

Just need a new front passanger seat belt, washer hose to connect to the nipples on the bonnet, the refitting of the gauges and i am set for the pits.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
