oh yeah forgot to add lol i just came off my p's lol and hopefully soon i'll be able to get a gtr 34 :blink:;).

also different topic but i find it funny how i read about some ppl gettin yellow stickers for minor things when i had a massive crack over the drivers side of my windscreen and never got picked up for like a year and a half....i have fixed it now and my car is stock performance wise but have a few decepticon logos on and inside the car yet i never got picked up.....

and teh one time i did it was 4am, they lifted my bonnet to check my engine thus blocking they're view of my windscreem...;) talk about lucky....lol totally off topic but i thought it might be of some interest to someone :P

i have 2 C210 4 doors and they are smaller in all dimensions than R33 coupes, i don't know how my grandparents managed to use this as their family car, shouldn't use it for more than 4 people + you need to have the front seats forward so people have room at the back.

*bump*

HEY ROWAN WHAT UP HOMIE!! (I don't really talk like this just giving it a go)

To OP.. 32 4 doors are quite nice imo, black always looks good coz I feel it takes attention away from the back light housings lookin a little funny (Just my opinion)

Plus if you get a black one.. and live in Perth.. then perhaps.. JUST perhaps.. I could let you in on my custom paint code for the rims I'm painting on mine.. then we could have a black 4 door 32 and a black 4 door 34.. with FUSCHIA rims.. hear that eps??

:banana:

what are you talking about???

it's safely anchored on my driveway. the permits are all there. i'm legally moored.

...i should tow a sea biscuit along to the soarer cruise this saturday. for teh lulz

Can't say I ever stole BMX's although it was common practice at school that if I didn't like somebody (or a number of people) I would crack all their combination lock thingy and chain all their bikes together to the pole then play basketball on the school court just so I can enjoy watching them trying for hours to undo them all.. the best part was once or twice I would bring my own combination lock and throw it in the mix.. so after everybody had undone their individual locks.. there would be 1 spare that nobody owned.. good times..

lol i was just thinking how long would a 4 door soarer be.. I mean my 4 door 34 is a bit of a 'limo' but JESUS (Died 4 Dubstep) *inserts free plug*

Excuse my ignorance Rowan but I'm sure you mentioned that your soarer is rare in some way, please enlighten me? She looks to be in fresh condition mate, nice.. Although I do miss the Ceffie..

FUSCHIA RIMS!!! ARGGGHHH

it's rare because each of the following aspects are all rolled into the one car..

black (one of the rarer colours)

late model series three with the same engine as jzx100 (only about 3/4 in WA)

L package (top of the range with elec seats comprehensive dash screen sunroof and nicer seats)

so "from the factory" to have that combo is fairly unheard of..

but aftermarket wise is when it gets interesting...

T's project bodykit (the most uncommon and most expensive bodykit - ironic considering most people don't notice it has a kit at all)

which the bodykit has been custom made to fit the bizzare foglights - which are actually OEM parts from a Jaguar XJR) and the exhausts are OEM from the lexus IS F

obvioulsy it's got the work rims and the coilovers and all the other stuff that you can do too.. in that pic you can't see the leather interior job though - that's by Guten Bein - which is a popular retrim shop in japan - it was their demo car that they used to flex their muscle..

..the leather is the same hue of red as the mercedes CLK...

a lot of Yen was spent on my car it seems :P

but yeah - it's rare to get "all those" factors rolled into the ONE car... realistically you have to be a soarer nerd to understand..

so it's about as rare as someone ordering that combination of car is - what i do know - is that there's no other car in australia that's LIKE it. it's not another dark green 92 V8 with a copy bodykit.

while i'm ranting however - i just want to say...

in the cefiro - the biggest "buzz" i'd get is when a dudes in S13/180/R32/other ceffies would drive past and wave n say they'd love my car - that was a great feeling...

but in the soarer... the best feeling is waiting at a set of lights... and middle age guys will pull up next to me in NEW mercedes CLK / Audi TT / S class / Bmw's...

...and THEY stare at my car with green eyes... you know you've arrived when that happens... ;)

manuals were never made as Lpacks after 1995 dude :P

i don't get why people always say "should've got a manual"

...the manual is slower. the auto box in soarers is incredible.

and it's a leather seated, climate controled cruise controlled dual airbaged electric seat having luxury coupe.. why would you want to clutch and change gears???

edit: there is one guy that's got a soarer even more rare than mine.. he's from perth too and his name's josh..

it's a 1997 late model V8 Lpack with factory airbags and updated EMV... - there was only about 30 late models made before toyota scrapped the 1UZFE engines in the soarers..

and of that 30 - he's got one of the top of the range builds...

and of THAT handful.. he's got a black one.

soarers are fascinating cars (to me)

Edited by Mr Eps

I think to properly appreciate it I'd have to see in irl.. Dunno how coz I gather you won't be rockin up at any skyline cruises etc.. What suburb are you in dude?? Maybe when I finish off my rims etc I can bring my around and we can appreciate eachothers vehicles (and POSSIBLY company)

I did noticed the foglights at the front but can't see the interior in that pic, sounds nice though.. if it sounds anything like my mates stock soarer they have a mean 'low' note to them not sure if it was his exhaust though =/

    • 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?
