FYI - For those of you with a TomTom GPS, you can search and find an icon for the Infinity via the TomTom's Home application. Looks very cool to see a silver V35/G35 navigating its way through streets... biggrin.gif

Tried to upload the .bmp icon directly here, but that type of file is apparently not allowed.

Nice. But just silver coupe?

If it can have a white one, I am interested. :)

OK - had some free time. Has to be saved as a .bmp to be used with a TomTom. Now you just need a TomTom eh? happy.gif

Haa, nice! :thumbsup:

Can you tell me the process of how I can get this in my GPS?

I've Navman at the moment. If it doesn't work, I am buying TomTom (Any version is ok?).

Victor, when GPS units are plugged into a PC, they generally appear as a USB hard disk in File Explorer/My Computer. On the TomTom, there will be a directory called 'art' with a subdirectory called 'cars'. All the standard car icons which you can select on the unit will appear there as .bmp files. Just rename this one as a .bmp file, and copy into the \art\cars directory. When you go to change your car icon preference on the unit, this car will now appear in the select list. Simple! All TomToms to my knowledge have an identical internal file structure - operating system versions just differ for the units along with the features loaded (e.g. Text to Speech).

For the Navman, don't know. However, it would have to be a similar arrangement (a bunch of icon files somewhere, probably as .bmp files). I suggest have a look at what car options you can select already on the Navman, connect it to the PC as if you're going to update it, and see if it then appears as a removable drive. If so, do a filename search on that drive for one of the icons you know should exist (e.g. ford), and hopefully you'll find the directory. Then just copy this file there. Unless the Navman has the icons somehow compiled into a single file, then all bets are off...

Hope this is reasonably clear.

Here's the original silver infinity file. Shading is nicer on the original (hey, I'm no graphic artist!).

Don't forget to rename it from .jpg to .bmp

Thanks, Stuart. :)

I will try with my Navman this weekends and will let you guys know if I can get it on it.

If not, I will get a TomTom later.

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
