Hey does that gear knob still block the screen when looking from the driver's seat?? The stock gear knob is so tall!

Hmmm it doesnt block the view for me. It doesnt affect me that much to be honest - since your aware of where the controls are..

The problem I've found is that these panels have a texture to them. So sanding them removes the texture, which means you'd have to re-sand it all, and re-texture it all in some uniform fashion. I

For those that know how bad the factory interior paint is on the R34's (seems to dissolve in the Aussie heat) I've found a low-semi gloss alternative that seems pretty good, Powerplus PJ9184 "SNB 150

Hey guys how can u discount the lighter wire coz I'm stuck over there? Plz help ASAP coz I'm not very smart and this my first time doing it?

It should disconnect easily. Seems like it hasnt been disconnected before - "jiggle it".

It has a press button release clip on it. You must press it inwards and pull out. If you just try to pull it, you'll break it :P

Hey guys I did my 34's stupid fury interior and got a few photo's.

I used Vinyl & Fabric paint from Supercheap Auto, I think it turned out well as I was after that standard low gloss shine.

To remove the paint I used the "elbows deep" method of Metho and the magic green sponge

I used no primer and no clear coat but i used the entire can which was roughly 5-6 coats of paint on everything, it's been a few days now hot & cold weather and no problems so far.

I also got a quote to get the interior aqua dipped but they wanted $550! It might look good but $15 vs $550 is a huge difference...

The only thing now is to fix the surrounding scratches etc as they are noticeable now

How does everyone go about painting the climate control plastic, more importantly the hot/cold blue/red part...

Do you spray over it and scrape it off? Or mask it up and trim it to fit. spray it, then peel it off?

Its a pain in the ass, but when i resprayed mine, i masked it all up, including a thin strip around the temp control colours. You'll need a sharp knife and patience lol

Use a little knife to take the glue off behind it, so it actually just slides out. Then just use a dab of super glue afterwards to put it back :)

Here it is baking in the sun. Couldn't get Powerplus tungsten metallic unfortunately, nor could the store find the paint code for it. So I took a gamble and went with tungsten mica metallic, same one used on the older Holden Statesman. $30 for a mixed up can, but pricey I think.

Overall I'm happy with the colour but after sanding, 2 coats of primer and 3 with paint. It chips way to easily, I'm fairly new to painting but I can recognize what has happened pretty much straight away:

Needed more prep time!. I'll run what I have for now and eventually I'll sand it down right, leave more time between coats, then spray with lighter coats and add a few layers of clear on the top at the end.

Here are some pics

For any one having trouble getting the colour "Tungsten" I just ordered some from Autobarn they no longer stock the powerpluss brand but they do have an equivalent. You just have to ask and they order it in for you.

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I though you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
