Then you get the people that walk around a lot, sit on machines doing a set here and there for like a hour and leave and they wonder why they see no results - to busy checking the ass on the blonde next to them :nyaanyaa:

Yup, but said GTR has already got -7s in.

nice nice, they are counted as 'standard' turbos for SAU championship so thats a plus

when i do mine up i'll definitely be getting cams put in mainly so it sounds like a beasty mofo

boom!

Sounds like he's gonna get the car for $0

that's what i was thinking

Is someone gonna tell me where I can get these from.... or who the user is that has these?

Pleaseeeeee :thanks:

no worries man... it's DeanHR31... he's a mate, i'll send him an sms for ya today :)

I saw that last week, I thought maybe there was a cheaper option.... Seems a fair rip off for what they are...

Billy just get 400R ones best bang for buck to fit your rims i'd say, maybe go carbon and see if it looks any good? should look ok I think cos your car is black, save $$$ then on paint.

Cars finished from racepace woo picking it up later on this arvo - Chris mentioned my car was a bit lazy on the dyno like I've been complaining about did the basic wastegate / bov check but thought it might be high flowed turbos or crack in intercooler somewhere or something needless to say will be upgrading sooner or later and sorting it out, apparently still making good power so shall see what a exhaust boost and cam gears can do :D (oh and a freshly serviced car :D)

Leigh, I take it you're not selling it anymore?

More so, an Expression Of Interest...

He just wanted to find out how much ppl will pay for his car.

He won't sell it, if he does not get offered enough.

those wheels wont look good on anything the sizes are fkn ridiculous.

Yeah, I'd better stop being insane.

33 gtst + 18x10.5 +22 with 235/40 should be go in with guard work and some camber along with low?

Thanks Hamish :)

spoke to dean man, he sold them cos they were shithouse... they are just slip ons

Lol umad civic asked to swap.. Don't know if hes for real...

i am doubt

Yeah, I'd better stop being insane.

33 gtst + 18x10.5 +22 with 235/40 should be go in with guard work and some camber along with low?

possible, but it would be better to sell them and buy better offsets

Leigh, I take it you're not selling it anymore?

Nah, wouldn't be able to get what I want for it and mates talked me out of evos haha

Deciding to just do mine up and eventually un-rego it turn it into a track car buy a f6 or something to tow it :thumbsup:

    • 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.
