howdy fellow vic members

well today I got my just jap dump/front pipe and high flow cat and me being the impatient kind wanna get this installed so I decided to call around a few place asking for quotes to just install these things for me. Now iv read and its 6 bolts on the turbo holding the dump/front pipes and flange and brackets underneath so thinking it will take only 30mins or so for a pro to do so I rang around.

now I understand its a small job so not many ppl wanna do it but just to try and squeeze extra money out of me they are all spinning shit about its a turbo of job. the turbo fas to come of to put the dump pipe on no matter how much I tell them no it doesn't they still don't listen and the lowest quote I got was $135 just to unbolt my stock pipes and bolt these up. :)

So I was wondering if there would be any one kind enough to install these for me? Ofcoarse you will be paid with a nice cold slab of beer :D

im in Rowville and work in the city and can come to you. Would love to get this done before this Friday for the night run im organizing.

Now its all factory setup atm but the bolts were undone 2 weeks ago when the turbo was removed to change manifold studs so im assuming undoing the bolts will be easy as and won't be jammed and rusted up.

Your help will be greatly appreciated :)

Yeah without a hoist its a LOT of dicking around mate.

It'll take half the time with one as you dont have to go up/down/up/down on a trolley jack. But it can be done (like all things)

I'd offer to help, but im too busy at the moment and wont be free before friday lol! Way too short time!

Don't be a tight ass, pay the $135, it's a bitch of a job without a hoist and those turbo bolts can be hard, can be tricky to get the heat shield to fit again too.

im a currie so its in my blood to be a tight ass :laughing-smiley-014:

but all sorted out. dads mate has a hoist i can use on saturday so ill take my time and do it. :rolleyes:

I had mine fitted by an experiences mechanic.

1. You NEED a hoist for the car.

2. It will take around 2 hours to do the job if you know exactly what to do.

3. You may also need to bend the air con pipe (it is not a straight bolt on as JJR claims)

I can only assume that it will take some money to do this job unles you have friends in "high" places :rolleyes:

If you have/or can bring a jack and stands, we can do it in my garage :thumbsup:

thanks man ill just do it on saturday after we do the wheels. will be easier on the hoist and that way i can clean some oil near the gearbox aswell :rolleyes:

also when you say you had to bend you ac pipe could it be kinda like pushed out of the way or was it in the way alot that you had to bend it?

how much did you bend it?

      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?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
