I have had my Nissan Y34 Cedric VIP 300 for a few months now. Got it off Iron Chef.

It looked like this but with stockies on it.

After a few weeks i got it tinited.

Then after waiting a few months for my wheels to arrive they were put on with a slight gaurd roll on the rear and front and it sat like this for a couple of months.

Wheels are 19" Work LS406's with custom Burning Black Painted Centres. Sizes are 19 x 9 + 20 and 19 x 10.5 +20. 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 Sumitomo Z3's

After spending a few weeks trying to work out how to go about the busted Shocks it had i finally manned up and Ordered a set of JIC FLT FAR Coilovers. Had some great help from Importmonster Guys with this. If you need anything for your car hit up www.importmonster.com.au. They will help you out as much as they can and with anything you want from japan. Be it for your car or some random japanese thing. They can pretty much source anything.

I have put a sub and amp and replaced 6 of the 10 speakers in the car for my enjoyment.

I have plans of getting a kit for it. Just have to save up the money for the kit.

I hope to one day get some engine mods for it. Bigger turbo and injectors, Front Mount and the likes.

But the stock VQ30DET engine has enough balls for cruising around adelaide for now.

Id like to thank Matt and Joe from Wheelworx for helping me get the rims and tyres.And for letting me do it all at work.

Stewie from SFR for helping me put the coilovers in.

Adam from 619 Customs for the sick installs bro and the tint :banana:

I will be out and about in the thing as its my daily. Alot of ppl think it's a new Unrealesed Merc. Alot of ppl just stare trying to work out what it is.

If you want to come down and have a better look Come down to Wheelworx on Port road. Ask for Brenton (me)and I'll answer any questions ya have about it.

K Thanx Bye.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
