i also had the altia/nismo rear spoiler. it was a bitch to remove. quite costly as the holes had to be lead-filled, welded, smoothed, and then resprayed. the cheaper option was to simply putty-fill the holes and spray, but thats a little dodgy.

yeah i would rather get it off, have u got before & after pics.

how much did it cost? who was your panel beater?

i got my car done at 'Imperial Smash Repairs' in springvale.

they did a pretty good job.

i got my old kit removed and a new cwest kit fitted and sprayed at the same time - so im not sure how much it would cost to get the rear quarter panels done alone. but from memory it was around the $800 purely for the rear qtr panels as they have the respray the whole rear panel which extends up to the roof. they blended the spray job at the ridge of the roof line - so a fair bit of spraying was involved too.

as i said previously... its a bitch of a job to do!!

heres a couple more pics:

before....

after....

$800? that's not too bad... i was quoted bout $1200 alone to fix the two rear quarters up..

how did the blend to the roof go? i might pay these guys a visit and get a quote for the quarters and or full respray to avoid blending issues... especially if they've done one before.

i've taken my wing off and just put gaffa tape over the holes... not a very good solution... seems to keep the water out though... pretty strong tape.

EDIT: looks like a great job from the second pic. You weren't completely happy with it by the sounds of it?

hey i reckon we should get all the r34's in melb and do a cruise.

that would be awesome!!!!

anyone interested?????? :D

Id be interested :wub:

Btw you have one shiny car, do you just clean it alot or has it been resprayed?

The car is just very clean in the pic.

possible repray before but not 100% sure.

How about a cruise to lorne and back in a few weeks????

800/1200.... shit.... 1200 also sounds familiar now too.

but i got a good deal overall.

i seriously considered the path of full respray; but u have to either decide to do a proper respray or a half-assed approach. proper method is to remove ALL windows - which means most of the rubber seals will need to be replaced which costs $several hundreds alone plus the possible risk of the windows being cracked in the process of removal. the annoying part is that the panel shops wont take responsibility if the windows crack when being taken out; and therefore u have to pay for the windows to be replaced if it happens.

the half-assed way is simpler; much cheaper; but u wont get a clean edge near the window seals.

LOL @ gaffa tape!

sad to say that i did the same thing at one stage too!!!

btw, u got PM with more details.

E.hills? I go around there regularly, as one of my friends lives there (another white r33 s2). Might have seen ya around - though bit hard to differentiate at night :D

think its harder to differentiate that white r33 then my black r34 lol.

    • 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?
