1. Its PWR so ofcourse it will get fabricated right the first time. On time too. :P

lol, I see you have given PWR exact measurements and application details before with an order only to have something completely wrong turn up. I thought me and the 300 other people I spoke to were isolated incidents... :huh:

so you order a custom rad. give them all the details, maybe even a cad drawing if you are so inclined. they say 10 days to make. 20 days later you get a box unannounced. inside it is a radiator. completely different to what you wanted. you call and say WTF? they say, "oh" sorry, do you want to keep it for 20% off? we don't really want it back? you say no. they say ok send it back. they then say, oh, we have the one you wanted here off the shelf, we can send tomorrow... WTF??? send the rad. this time it is right. then they might send you another one and bill you twice just to keep you guessing. lol.

Gees mine wasn't even that complicated.

Give me one for a stock R32 Gt-R I said. So they did. Sort of. I mean, to be fair some of the dimensions were correct.

I got it fixed locally as I ran out of faith that they could get it right. Admittedly I didn't want to wait for it to go back & forth to Queensland from WA & I got the hump after they told me my car was what was wrong.

So I dunno. They do some good work but their quality control as far as building the things as per the drawing is well, forum rules & all that. :P

:P:huh::P:rofl: :rofl:

We supplied a CAD drawing with exact specs and measurements in millimeters, but I don't know how accurate the end result was...

Perhaps John did the measurements to check?

well they have made a few of those rads now. having said all that their gear is top shelf. once you get through the standard order process of receive, swear, return, receive, swear, return, receive, rejoice, use. then it's all good. :P

yep the PWR rads with oil/coolant heat exchanger are the way to go. when you look at the price of a nice rad like a koyo and a good oil cooler like say a trust kit then the price of the PWR all in one solution makes a lot of sense. and like DJR81 pointed out you then have the passenger side duct free for something else like CAI.

'big' hp = cant fit big enough oil cooler into radiator, need to use 21row or use 2 oil coolers 1 in the radiator and 1 external

thick fmic + street driving/low air speed = not ideal to use anything thicker than the 42mm (low air speeds when in traffic/start stop stuff the air cant pass through the fmic and cool the radiator quick enough)

twin pass can only be made in ~55mm radiator, bollocks if u have space constraints (i.e crank driven oil pump is in the road)

info straight from PWR

Luckily my engine is stock :P

Nice work cleaning up the chassis rails mate,,,I was having kittens when I saw dirt.

I've used PWR on 3 occasions with drawings and each time they came to me perfect. Must be because I'm a nice guy.

Andrew have you thought about running a fuel cooler?

Neil.

Andrew have you thought about running a fuel cooler?

Nerp... Not as yet...

I'll get to the details like that further down the track... Right now, I'm just concentrating on the basics :(

Not much action... But we should have some shiny new brake hardware photos next week :)

Clutch line with the dumb delay valve mechanism - bin!

New braided clutch line = yay!

1kg weight saving......... Priceless. :D

It's there to smooth out the pressure of the clutch line, so the result is a smoother activation and deactivation of the clutch.

Obviously designed for road use, but many people get rid of it for road use too, as you lose control and feel over the clutch pedal.

It's there to cool the clutch fluid to prevent boiling. With the stuffs removed I usually have to bleed the clutch after a drag or track day.

BTW where did you get your braided line from?

Give Tim a call at Unique Autosports... He'll source one for you...

    • 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?
