Hey,

Ive checked through the threads but cant to seem to find an answer. What i want to know is how to disconnect/remove the reverse camera that comes on some v35's. I can get to the screws and undo them with a socket set but i cant seem to figure out how to disconnect the electrical cord that is attached to it. I didnt want to yank on it but it seemed pretty tight when i gave it a bit of a pull. So does anyone have any experience removing these camera's ill try post up a few pics but for now i cant be bothered as i just put it all back together and i cant be bothered unplugging all the little rivets that hold the boot cover in place. Theres a picture below so you know what camera im talking about

If your interested there is not a big hole when u un-screw the camera, its just 3 holes, 2 for the screws and 1 for the cord. So it is possible to cover it up and shift the 350gt badge over it.

O well i got bored and fiddled around with the camera and figured it out. The plastic housing (big white thing) acts as a clip so u just need to slide a flat head down the side to get the camera component free.

What my plans are is to remove the camera and cover the holes with the 350gt badge. I will then move the camera to be situated above the number plate because the camera is in its own waterproof case.

My only problem is the cord. I need to buy additional wiring so the camera will reach above the number plate. My only problem is i cant tell what cord it is. I sliced a bit of the rubber in the boot to have a look but there where silver coils rapped around a white tubing. Maybe if someone know what this sort of cord is they could help me out so i can get some =D. theres a picture down low that has a picture of the wiring.

O well had a nice long post typed up with pictures on how i moved the camera etc... but refreshed the page and lost it all =(.

So I ended up moving the camera to be situated above the number plate. All works fine =D. Had to slice the wires and extend them with $5 wiring from dicksmith. After that i drilled a hole in the bottom of the boot and fed the wires through and cable tied the camera firmly to the number plate. Gives a perfect view.

Spent $11 over all and did in 3 hours. (I have no experience in electrical so anyone can do this if I can, just remember to disconnect the - on the battery.

I covered the 3 holes with white silicone, cheap way but cant tell the difference. Unfortunately my original plan was to put the 350GT badge over the holes and cover the silicone but the paint has come away over the holes and will have to find another 350gt badge of a larger size to cover the missing paint. For now i have the GTR badge on (will replace as soon as i get the new badge.)

Photo's below, pretty simple

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
