hi, jsut want some advice

i am going to install tomorrow the G35 homelink mirror that i recieved today from the USA :)

i just wanted advice from anyone as it might save time in searching for the wire that i want

does anyone know of a good place under the dash (within easy access) to get a +12V ignition source from?

thanks for your help,

Warren

actually, the cigarette lighter isn't actually inside the dash is it?

it might be pretty easy to hook it up from there..

shall post pics when i'm done of the homelink + autodimmer

How much did it cost you?

And who did you order it form?

ebay (.com not .com.au), $150

it came with the unit and the wiring loom. plug ang play

i installed it today and it took all of 30mins

the change of mirror was literally unscrew the old mirror and slide the new mirror over the existing wedge sticker on the window - no need to re-glue it to the window :)

then i just ran a +bve wire fromthe ciragette lighter and grounded the loom to the chassis and i'm laughing!

i tested the auto-dimming with a torch and its fantastic! i haven't programmed my garage remote yet but will do that in the next few days

cheers,

Warren

Sounds great let us know when you get the remote programmed because if it works like it is supposed to I am getting one.

well actually i have had a bit of a think, and i am thinking of not programming the remote at this stage for a while

see i alternate which car i keep poutside at the moment as we have only one garage space and 2 cars so i don't want to program the remote and leave it outside. if someone breaks into the car they could just wire in 12V to the remote and open the garage door!

but if you keep your car inside it would be fine.

but just on the auto-dim feature its worth it i think - its stupid to think that its not standard with the premium pack like in the USA..

here's a link to a mirror:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infiniti-G3...152880803QQrdZ1

..but that one doesn't look like it comes with the loom..

this is hte exact one i bought from the exact seller:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Gentex-Auto...emZ130135574974

the model as standard on the G35 is the "Gentex GENK40"

it fits onto the standard window wedge :stupid:

Thanks for that but would the person breaking into your car need to know what a homelink mirror is, not exactly standard stuff here in OZ.

well its standard on most lexus / merc and other top end cars, but who knows how much thieves know about cars?

i don't see it as being a major issue, just a theoretical issue really

it gets its 12V from the cigarette lighter so it needs the key in to get power.

if you wire it from a constant 12V source then they would only need to break in to activate the switch!

mot see the cars only. forget about features. wouldnt mind seeing this mirror - only read about it.

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
