Thanks everyone, looking back at what I had planned I am really really happy with how it turned out, credit to Planned Signs at Minto who took this project as seriously as I did and make sure it was perfect. Looking at photos of the original car and models I think it's about as close I could get it to the original and I'm stoked

You coming trackday next month??

Doesn't look like it. Need some work done on the diff and gearbox. This is only the beginning :yes:

Was a nice car....now a very COOL car. Love the final touches...copies of period race cars often run the risk of being try hard BS shitboxes. Your's looks tough!

I know exactly what you mean. Most of the other replicas of his car I've seen looked like shit. A little attention to detail and a lot of assistance from some helpful people (especially from SAU) goes a long way!

Thanks again everyone who commented and pitched in with photos and logos and stuff. You guys are alright ;)

Hey guys, after a set of rear bumper lights like these:

post-21158-1283689789.jpg

anyone got some spares laying about?

I'm currently contacting places trying to find a brand new set. will let you know if i have any luck.

Just got the car back from Award. Had the gearbox reco'd and replaced all the synchros, modded the transfer case and shimmed the rear diff with Nismo plates.

Diff feels super aggressive and awesome just putting it on the trailer, should make a big difference. Here she is hanging out the front of Award. These guys have done a really great job at an awesome price. Terry knows about GTR diffs and gearboxes, I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Was at Trackday Club on the weekend and had a shocker. Missed the first two sessions f**king around with the catch can, went out and bent the HICAS lock bar, said f**k it and went out again lost boost pressure so we packed up and went home. Also couldn't get the motherf**king shift-i to work. Not a good day.

At least the car looks good

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • 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
