LOL!

So you money to blow on plates and sound systems but not buy a decent set of wheels.

LOL...

1) I already owned the sound system. I've been collecting bits and pieces for over 2 years. $4000RRP+ of shit :yes:

2) I didn't pay for the plates. They were a gift.

3) I did buy a decent set of wheels. SSR SP1s biatch! Anything that Hamish suggests must be good haha

When did you get the wheels?

Are those SSR's you suggested JDM enough? :thanks:

What else do I need to make it "proper f**kin JDM"?? :yes:

if it's equipped with Japanese Domestic Market parts, then it's JDM. Unfortunately knobjockeys these days associate JDM with japanese style instead of japanese parts, so if you want to be proper f**king JDM it better look like one of these:

That's the front bar I'm getting!

It took me some serious searching (2 years to find one) but I'll probably be the only person in VIC with one.

The only other one I know of in Australia is MR2QIK in Sydney.

That's only through forums though. Could be some non-forum people with that bar.

we imported a red one and a white one with that bar back in the 15 year rule days. Guy in Reservoir bought the white one.

Lucky kent.

That's how MR2QIK got his front bar. The car came with it when imported.

I could probably make some good money if I made a mold and sold copies but then it wouldn't be special anymore :yes:

been there, done that. no you wouldn't. How do you think people got the BN Sport widebody kits for R32's?

i was out there last night.... pity you didn't post that up 12 hours ago fool!

damn.

didn't some one make a copy of that kit without you knowing?

didn't some one make a copy of that kit without you knowing?

they made a copy of a copy, our deal was exclusive sales through driftline. Big Red needed a copy so that was the first one we pulled, then the second one went to some arab dude who paid lots of money, who then went off an made a mould off that :yes:

anyways...

sofa king awesome.

f**k the black bonnet off and you have a winner. red all over cleared indicators/tails scoop and that wing. black or white wheels. oh yeah.

Yeah, I was just testing the black bonnet to see how it would look. I don't think it needs it.

I already have the black/chrome lip SSRs ordered. Clear indicators are done.

Same front bar and similar sideskirts.

Will get a TRD wing (similar to that) and then a nice rear to finish off.

If I get bored with red then I'll do a full respray later on. Fitment/spray of just the kit will only be like $1000 or so.

Sounds like a plan :kiss:

I think I like it better than black on black.

    • 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.
