Yeah, I think I paid like $650 including delivery, might have been more. But I was sick of Chinese shit that didn't fit, and wanted the full replacement quarters. I'll be sad if I mash 'em

ALL fibreglass needs work, but my front and rears both needed very little. Rears needed a little trimming on the c pillar section to make them even, and some filing, then drilling but they went on good. Fronts just needed drilling.

 

Heres a couple of pics, its only held on the car with gaffe tape, so shows you the shape is pretty damn good.

So for the first time in 2 years, I drove it home today.

Made 300 at the wheels, the turbo is simply out of puff. Goes like a raped ape though.

Just a few small things to finish off, getting an alignment 8am Saturday, then ready to finish log booking and start racing.

 

Been long time, with a lot of hours, a lot of money, but was all worth it. Couldn't be happier right now.

Cheers guys, was a bit excited to say the least.

Congratulations man. I've been following your progress for a while. Power curve looks nice and meaty. Car is looking awesome, enjoyemoji106.png

You're dead right, only made 30kw more peak power, but the midrange is pretty stupid. Bakes 265 semi's pretty easy. Was fun to drive home this arvo haha.

 

And Launch control is the best.:27_sunglasses:

Thanks! Still need to finish making some door trims, and some other stuff for cams regs, install the extinguisher system, couple of other bits and pieces. But yeah, was pretty excited yesterday arvo. All been worth it.

Also starting to look at some aero, big wing out back, splitter, canards, under trays etc. any suggestions?

You and ssxRicho seem to have a handle on that stuff.

don't know if ive got a handle on it but am giving it a go haha

lots of different theories etc out there but like anything the basics remain the same. Aero totally changes a car an the way you drive it from my experience

Make sure the car drives good and handles well without it, then if adding aero add with balance and adjust the car from there.

I went with cheaper version of front splitter etc to trial and error and in case of mistakes at first rather than go all out (im currently making V2) but as you've seen gone pretty speno on the rear cause I doubt I'll smash that.

 

A lot of people use the marine ply for the front splitter, I used ally composite (ally honeycombe middle and 0.5 ally each side)

 

Best thing is now just drive the car and enjoy it !!  nothing better than getting in the seat and driving on the track and finding out what the car you've built can do, and also cant do... then adjust from there

Had it aligned, then changed it a bit and realigned, now have a set of 25mm extended LCA's to go in so I can run some more camber up front.

Been doing a bit of street driving, which is hard with it being so damn loud. Might put another exhaust on it and shut it up a bit. But then I can come home later at night and not wake up everyone in my street haha.

 

But yeah, runs flawless, life's good. Goes back for log booking etc in a couple of weeks, need to finish door trims and install lifeline extinguisher system.

My cusco camber arms went straight to max when they went in. But now with some better rubber up front and knuckles I need a bit more. They're just simple cut and shuts with adj. lock stops, but they'll do the job. Just need to whack a new set of ball joints in them.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
