ok yes that is...interesting. I actually like the idea behind it. But the execution is a little off in some areas. Ok a few areas. I'm glad somebody likes it though. Those flames on the door are pretty wild, i'd like it if they stretched down onto the guards. A carbon fibre hood, a set of Volk GT-C's... It would be more to my liking.

that is the one... see i was right :O anyways i reckon remove all the decals and the air brushing, get some nice volks and maybe mesh the front instead of that checkerplate thing... the kits is also a bit out their but at least it is unique. But hey if its gots some balls under the hood respect :D

Saw a white Stagea RS4 turning off ginnindera drive as I was waiting at a set of lights

That was me turning off to Evatt - had to pick up the dogs after their day out. Now I have to clean the dog drool off the windows.

Spotted: That ugly arse maroon monstrosity 200sx shown above being washed at the Tuggeranong car lovers at about 10:15-10:45. I am all for people expressing themselves but it was all I could do to stop myself from shitting myself laughing. No matter how bad it looks in those photos it is worse in real life.

...god I hope he has done something with the engine cause that car has been severely beaten with the ugly stick.

ahhh ok. Wasnt me then. And I dont always have trucker caps on! Usually just when i'm on SAU cruises which are always on Saturdays or Sundays, which is when i'm recovering from big nights out! lol...

The rest of my kit should be on soon! Just look for the wide body and the impul R34 kit.

I want no more confusion! lol...

Ha Ha, yeah I was just about to post it. Bought by someone in Canberra. I'm pretty certain it's had a bit of work done under the bonnet too. Butt-ugly though, that's for sure.

yeah that 200 has been at alot of autosalons and to my memory it is pretty damn crazy under the hood, when i last sore it the was mention of upto 200k spent all up on the car... dont know how correct that is and it was a good 4 years ago i heard that. but i know for a fact its not all cosmetic!

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
