this wont answer your question but it is on topic...

I have chosen with my past few cars to make my own

using off-the-shelf 4wd rubber wheel arch extensions that are meant to be mounted horizontally, i just hang them under the bumpers instead. flexable and forgiving.

this is how it mounts on 4 wheel drives

i mount it this way up

would look better with the series 1 lower half colour coded.... but you can still see the difference

same on the rear

for rubber, in SA we have Clarke Rubber who sell it off the roll by the metre. $20 per metre i think, so $40 to do the front (plus whatever you need to fix it to the car - one screw or bolt plus a large mudguard washer every 150mm or closer)

im sure any 4WD accessory shop sells it for about double the price

I've got the series 2 lip and can confirm they are different from the Coupe. I sourced mine from Yahoo auctions in Japan many years ago. They are also available from US and also japanparts.com but be prepared to pay through your nose upwards of $600 landed. If you can find a 2nd hand one from Japan it would be much cheaper.

Cool.. Thanks guys.. Think I'll stick with deep dish's $40 Clarke rubber.. Lol much cheaper and at my ride height probly more affordable to replace later when needed also...

this stuff is heavy duty. you'd sooner tear the whole bumper off before damaging the rubber.

it flexes back under the car easily, but if you get it caught when reversing you'll feel it. those concrete blocks in carparks are a pain. just remember to always reverse park if your mufflers are high enough

my front lip has dragged on various things and not even scratched. a quick squirt of silicone spray makes it shine (and possibly reduces wind friction by 0.00000000000000000000001%) baahahaha

oh and you could mount it so that it points slightly outwards, rather than directly down like mine.

and before anyone says it, yes i know this lip is not to everybodys taste. its just an option.

Just curious..ur username says 350GT8..is that the car you are referring to coz I don't think GT8s came in series 2...

yeah.. ive got a 350gt8.. im not really sure what series it is.. tried searching online.. and all i could come up with was its a 1.5 model.. lol.. its one between the cross over of series 1 and 2...

ive got series 1 interior, headlights, grille, series 2 tail lights and front and rear bars and bootlid (without doggy handle). ive had the car for almost 2 years and up til now still dont know.. previous owner said same as what i found and read online.. " its a 1.5" i dont really know..

if anyone can shed some light on this would be good... sorry way off topic though..

Anyone know if the 2007-2008 G35 Sedan OEM Factory Front Lip would fit a 2004 V35 300GT?

There's one for sale on ebay

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/INFINITI-OEM-FACTORY-ACCESSORY-FRONT-CHIN-SPOILER-LIP-G35-G37-4-DOOR-2007-2009-/261059090847?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc855999f

Not too sure how it would look on the 300GT if it did fit though

the biggest giveaway in that pic is the headlights. Boomerang shape is V36 equivalent

im not 100% on this, but ...

2001-2005 v35 in japan = 2003-2006 g35 in US

I know for sure mine is 2001 JDM series one so i look for 2003 USDM parts to get series one, or i look for 2005 USDM parts to get series 2

if the headlights are different shape, you can be certain the parts wont fit.

edit- isnt there a topic that explains the year model jap-usa conversion in detail?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
