His socks are probably still wet as he got off the boat into a skyline. With that said, I am guessing he squirted WD40 on wastegate flap and saying something about in neutral it goes to +10 which is probably wrong considering the nissan gauge is +7-7. You will most likely never create positive boost on the stock turbo in neutral. Your gauge is probably shit. + is positive boost - is vacuum, or negative boost if you wish.

Ok I get it now. The Sarge is correct. Now that I've read it a few more times It does make sense.

You won't create any noticeable positive pressure while in 'N' because of the lack of load on the engine. Make sure your gauge is accurate by checking against another one

if your some kind of mechanic ,doesn't mean u can drive .it means u work 4 $18h :thumbsup:

Maybe where you come from pal. In Australia being a mechanic means not only can you drive but you get paid $30 an hour upwards.

exactly and they wonder why theres a skills shortage..

I found a job the other day fixing pallets, was shift work but paid over 1000$ a week..I know blokes earning twice that pushing a broom at the desal plant..

Its crazy but truth is by giving people with no qualifications money often means they will spend it with qualified people which lets qualified people can charge what they likeand the people paying dont care cause they make heaps of money for nothing.....its the circle of life

at the end of the day though the broom pusher is more expendable than a qualified mehanic.If there was a war the broom pusher will be on the frontline getting shot at while the mechanic will still be fixig cars ,or tanks..

Who in their right mind would work for $19 an hour if they were a qualified mechanic? You get paid more packing shelves at the local supermarket.

Exactly....but would I be happy packing shelves at a local supermarket? Hell no.

Obviously you have the potential to earn more with a busy employer or a large company in need but Mechs are the lowest paid trade in the world

    • 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.
