Either way must be series 3, projectors, autospoiler.

:( I don't know why I'd let a bloke who used to live next door to me and a ex owner of black over grey HR31 talked me out of buying one when I had the chance.



It's amazing that Nissan invested so much time and money into both the development/features of these cars and also the advertising and then not selling them outside of the home market(Save for the handful of LHD arabic ones I've seen) What other car ha 10min commercials though?

do it yourself

its pretty easy

theres even howto's in the howto section on it

the paint costs about $40 tops and some shitty sandpaper

to do the writing differnt colour paint the calipers one colour with vasoline over the lettering

then when its dried and done, wipe the vas off and reverse to do the lettering

prob makes sense to do lettering your choice of colour first

then away you go with the calipers

and you can leave them on just tape up everything and use newspaper

i better not do it myself i know i'll screw something up i always do :/ don't wanna risk it might aswell pay a bit of cash and get em done professionally.

i don't care what their owners say the only reason people buy a boxter is because they can't afford a 911. just a fact.

I did no such thing to your bonnet!

you're birds not bird :glare:

Roast ya did he? Lol agree they look pretty shit

no he was just being a hoon :closedeyes:

lol you seen the topgear episode about it? Faster than the M3 around the track (i think)

I mentioned couple pages back that i want one lol

yeah seen it dunno looks like a shrunken/melted m3 lol

I changed the oil in the S15 yesterday, the filter came right off. Though damn it was hot for a long time, tinny little filter that it is. Z445.

Put 4100 10w40 in it. Didn't smell like it was burning. Though I wanted to put XMAX 10w40 in it, but couldn't find it at the local autobarnz.

yeah it is a big difference, i started my loan at 9.2 i think

and thanks

i found with nab when the rate drops, your repayments are the same unless you call up and get the repayments recalulated

otherwise they wait a year and send you an updated schedule, but when the rates up go, they notify you within 30 days

its their way of doing you a "favour" by letting you repay more

    • 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.
