hey guys I'm in the process of making a garnish for my rear bar to spice it up a little.

It will only be a small piece that wraps around the cutouts for the exhaust tips & the bottom half of my bumper made in fibreglass

my question is for anybody who has painted fibreglass themselves, do I need to sand back the gel coating before I apply the primer?

I'm planning on just buying primer & matte black spraycans from my local supercheap

any suggestions/tips & opinions welcome

I'll post pics of the finished product

:cheers:

Done!

came out great, time will tell if the paint holds up but I used the same process as my front grill & it's held up well so far in the 2.5 years I've had the car

I'll post up better pics before & after, phone pics so far just gotta wait til I can borrow the missus' camera

trial fit (just sitting on top of the exhaust to check fitment)

the finish came out looking like black plastic so I like the 'oem' feel of it

always appreciate comments cheers :thumbsup:

andy did you say you saw a sedan version of my car ( = :wub: ) or a V36 sedan with a similar rear bar lip ( = :wub: :wub: :wub: )

If Infiniti ends up coming to aus I'm trading in for the sedan I'm tempted to trade in now for an imported sedan, but if it will be aus delivered it will be worth the wait to have proper satnav/menu systems in english etc.

+ more family friendly & I wouldn't have to downgrade for a maxima/accord, wouldn't even consider falcodores

these kinds of designs you can't appreciate fully in pictures, I hated the sedan until I saw one up close lol

      I've got a Nexus for one of my other cars and I was surprised how simple it is to use and seems like a good quality bit of gear. The tech support guys are good to chat with too.

      My point is more so focused on the division between cylinders 1 to 3 vs 4 to 6. Any low mount "bolt on" aftermarket manifold utilises an open T3 collector which has crap all scavenging effects. Sure it might allow you to slap in more timing up top to make a little more but you'll lose all the down low performance. Even Tao from @hyper-gear has experienced the same when modifying the stock manifold. He has experienced added lag by cutting out the divider inside vs. leaving it alone. Twin scroll works, even if the effort is focused primarily on the manifold and an open scroll turbine housing. Please don't confuse me with a V8 NA or Americans that thinks you need back pressure in a 4 stroke motor.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      I bought mine from Concept Z https://conceptzperformance.com/hks-stainless-steel-catback-exhaust-system-full-dual-muffler-infiniti-q60-coupe-17-cv37-awd-rwd-31014-kn001_p_32626.php Put it on myself. Very easy jack stands. But if i was going to do it again i would get something like this   https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-infiniti-sport-exhaust-kit-axle-back-exhaust-system-infiniti-q60-17-coupe-cv37-b0100-q60st_p_30289.php Or just straight pipe it the whole way. I drove the car without an exhaust for shits and giggle when i was swapping it and it's not very loud at all.

      Ignore the monster truck ride hide, I messed up on the offsets and widths and ended up ditching them a few weeks later when my coilovers didnt fit

      I always drive with the tire pressure gauges showing the PSI because I'm paranoid about getting a flat tire and not knowing then keep driving and tear it apart. No amount of goo is going to fix a shredded tire. My Q60 has the goo and the V36 had the goo too. Never used it but I have used the pump to pump up the tire to get home. Then I fixed it with a plug. Wasn't keen on the goo.
