Bags are for groceries :P

Always had shit static... considered a cup kit but meh id rather spend 4k on a jz halfcut for the 14

Got a commonwhore for dailying and station duties. This is just for everything else and wouldnt want to ruin it with sloppy bags... nothing worse than seeing some mexican thing jacked up driving along.

We try.. lol. Most of those cars are faaaast apart from a few of us P platers. See my mates red v35 in the middle with GTR front? he just spent 20k on that paint and body kit.. too much money

miners have too much money.. they should give me some of it

Congrats on the purchase Tony, they are indeed a great looking car and rare for that matter. De badging is a great idea, i get people snapping necks to look at the front grille.. then realise it's emblemless haha.

I notice you have one of those underbody reverse lights is it?

Thanks mate. The car is actully more well travelled than I am, this was imported from Japan to Britan to Australia where i am the first registered owner. This is why I had the underbody fog lights cause the Brits have such horrible weather. Thankfully it was easy enough to remove as it looked like a big red pimple on it's arse, although now my high mount stop light is now not actually connected at all :whistling:

Actually, how are other peoples front number plates attached to their cars? Mine had a massive plastic section for the brit plates, and now the current plate does not hid the old srew holes as seen in the front pic here. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Can I get another plastic section to attach the plate, or is cutting them off my only option?

Yeah good question it's the same sort of thing at the back with the two hanging hooks don't suit Australian no. Plates. I never bothered to take them off - a few people told me to remove them and just bolt the plates to the bar.. But I worried about scratching the bar. Also removing the back rack the plates mount on would leave a big hole. Really interested what people have used for this. I was contemplating shopping around this week for something.

nice, that's a good upgrade. Wrong badge though.

The Jap owner put Infiniti badges on it for some reason. Everything inside says nissan, engine says PV36 ^_^

Just trying to find a different grill that will fit it, having trouble finding parts for a 2008. Lots of confusion online over it being the same as a G35 or a G37. Hoping to find a new grill & sports lip, plus I need to find somewhere to tint the tail lights. Anybody know where to go? I've seen pre cut tint on eBay but haven't tried it.

Loving it at the moment, but noticing it chugging every now and then, maybe from a tank of BP 95? I can't hear the engine from inside the car so I don't notice the gear change as much as I did in the R33, the chug has a similar feel to changing gears (auto) but over & over quickly. Drove it from Syd to Adel so maybe it needs a service.

The all jap computer is a little annoying, english manuals have helped but I wish I could disable Navi all together, esp seeing as I can't replace the cdplayer/navi without stuffing everything up. Been experimenting with a 7" Android tab and a Galaxy S3 as carputer replacement. To many adapters & wires though, I need a old Galaxy Tab P1000 as that has RCA out. Newer android's use MHL, so have to go micro usb > hdmi > rca.

Have HEAPS of Galaxy S3's lying about in pieces though, so trying to slave touch from the default screen but haven't had any luck. I think i'd have more luck with a specific tab as screen with a i/o that'l work.

Missing the R33 turbo as well, luckily it hasn't sold yet so I still drive it sometimes ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
