So I started (not finished, but you'll see why) fitting this battery cover today.

I ended up getting some Dremel cutting blades for my Ozito rotary tool. They work pretty well, but they don't last very long :/

I pulled the original battery cover off and had a look at what the metal looked like, then worked out what I needed to cut, and away I ground:

Everything went pretty well, and after I'd cut everything the battery cover fit much better. I think it'd be better with a couple of L brackets to hold it in, but I didn't pull the plastic plug out and put a grommet in to secure it. Something to worry about later.

After that, I masked off the area I'd cut, so that I could paint it with white rust proof/epoxy paint:

You can see there it looks pretty crap, but that's only the first coat. I've now sprayed 3-4 coats and it looks fine.

The paint is still wet, so I've left the bonnet slightly open, and tomorrow I should be able to finish removing the masking tape and fit the battery cover.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
