Sorry to all that I offended, had a go at, said crap too I had a very bad week last week with wreckers being crap work being done crap and people not shutting up about my bumper being black (not on hete) and so I do appologise.

To the tyre stretch I did try a 235/40R18 and lower the jack and hit hard up against my rear guard and the nexens I had on before were only a month old and they had two so i got 215/35R18. The tyre is nexen N5000 and i highly recommend it. When fitted to its proper size wheel it is quiet, grippy and good value for a Korean tyre.

The headlights are damaged on the mounts and housings so they need to be replaced. Personally i love my car I am so f**king happy with how it sits, looks and turned out.

The bumper is getting painted or if I find an Aero bar, I'll get it and have it painted. I'm thinking of getting the JP simple lip for the base model bumper if i cant find Aero (PM me if your keen aswell to save on postage)

Thule roof racks fresh from the USA will be here within the fortnight with the deflector and will be going on. Need ideas what to put on them?

Once again I am super sorry people for my attitude.

Oh and I'm going Oni camber too

I have never really understood the roof rack with a cheap pretender bmx or hipster single speed on it mod...

Just sayin.

If you ride, use it to move your bike.

Can you snowboard in Newcastle?

Do you surf?

Do oyu own a lawn mowing business?

If you dont use what you put on the roof rack its just a new form of hipstering....

Your car looks good, dont make it undriveable and defected just for demon camber..

It looks cool in J but they do a lot more regarding spring rates etc than just lengthen/shorten control arms.

I dont mean to be negative but a car is no good to anyone no matter how good it looks if you cant drive it because they cancel your rego...

Ill probably just motivate you to do it more :)

//End old man rant

Roof racks is a new hipster thing??????

I should clarify:

Giant basket roofracks with wind deflectors on stupid low cars with a "style" addition bolted in such as a snow board or colour matched BMX.

Reminds me of dudes in skinny jeans wearing thick rimmed glasses without lenses.

I will use mine tho. Mine are thule not crappy Yakima racks, i spent money for quality. My deflector will not be sticker bombed. I will use them more than people think. Personally i love the look.

Oh does anyone have a passenger side front weathershield for a M35 for sale?

Another reason is for long shit i will be getting stuff I find and what not. I don't have the luck of folding seats like yous do I have a port hole the size of an ants rectum so it will come in handy and add to the look.

you can do a small mod to the rear seats reclining mechanism.. and modify the rear wall .... to make a split fold rear

I'm not a fan of Oni camber, stretched tyres, wheels poking out of the guards, roof racks, etc., but other than that, this car looks f*cking awesome!

I'm not telling you not to do the 30deg of camber on your car, but just be aware of how much extra police attention you'll get for those kinds of mods, especially if you're still on your P's.

Seriously, dude, car looks like it's going to be killer once the bumper is changed and/or painted and all the minor little things are finished - good work! Also, I can't believe I missed this thread and only just found it now (and read the whole thing)!

    • 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?
