SO its time for another update:

Wiring has begun in the car, its a real headf**k but were (read: I'm) pushing through. Its just basically putting together alot of simple relay circuits. Waiting to get one of those fuse holder blocks so I can add some fuses into the circuits.

We also have made the roof mounted IGN switch and Push Button Start - just for coolness!

Campbell also made up the nice mount for the battery / car cutoff switch. So when we throw this switch everything will turn off including the engine.

Fuel system is done, Campbell has been working hard getting that all done and was pretty much finished today, just need to wire up the relay for that. Just used rubber hose as the nice braided line and fittings is too many money for this project :)

Also waiting on me to get some new orings for the manifold - injector top feed converters. Then the fuel rail and injectors can go in. Were running Bosch 660cc injectors and a Sard FPR.

I worked on the V-Mount today, got the radiator lower brackets in,

mounted the intercooler, and chopped up the rad support a little! It was fun! HAHA Biggest grinder we could find was used - again for coolness...

I chopped up the top tank of the radiator because it wasnt gonna work with the setup. Well just make up a new tank piece and incorporate the outlet in way a that suits.

The oil cooler is mounted but will be flipped so as the fittings are inside the engine bay for neatness. Same deal with the filter mount. Just waiting on time to finish this one :)

Next we will try and sort out the cooler piping, finish off the oil cooler and relo, and continue on with the wiring :|

Peace!

Edit/P.s. Russell has done nothing for the last couple of months cos hes always too busy on holidays :@

Nice work, it's coming together quite nicely.

Get Russ to do the rest of it? whistling.gif

Bit more work today.

Fitted the oil cooler, lines and relo filter mount. Got the clutch working and had a few drinks. And I was there!!!

We ended up flipping the cooler and now all the lines run in the engine bay. Mat has some more pics to upload.

Nice looking project will stay tuned.

Wise choice on the flat/basic paint colour...touch ups on the go with an aerosol can for the win.

OK since the thread has been bumped up, we will make an update.

Basically nothing has happened with the car, although the radiator and intercooler have been welded up and are now ready to be fitted, finishing off the vmount.

We need a rad hose, need to finish off welding up the cooler piping and it can pretty much be started! After a bit of checking of the wiring that is.

Pics soon.

    • 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?
