TunerMaxima3000 04-07-2013 12:06 AM

:lol: thanks guys

Hope to have a Supercharger running, headlights in, output vids, etc uploading. As well as a complete RGB led conversion and the interior back together, all coming soon.

Engine is running just waiting on headlight wiring/install to get it legal for the road. lots of little stuff!


CJ, you can send me that GTR any time brah.

Mr. Blue Sky 04-07-2013 01:34 AM

I gots no problems with that its the mods and parts thats a pita to pick and choose like i have all the cobb tuning stuff but havnt done anything with ite and already have the catless nismo exhaust installed and a few electronic goods like the maf2iat converter and haltec wideband kit i just need a good engine managment piece i have the cobb tuner and maps but without mods its worthless

cjandura 04-07-2013 07:01 AM

I still want your mirrors

TunerMaxima3000 04-07-2013 11:32 AM

Yah tuning the GTR is not childs play, especially with that crazy automatic tranny they have.

Did you say you're doing a MAFS delete? That's going to make things easier at least.

And I'm surprised you haven't scooped a set of Cefiros yet dude, just need to hit up JDM ebay or find someone who is bi-lingual and can get stuff from there as a middle man at a reasonable rate.

VQMagic 04-07-2013 12:32 PM

I was going to say do something with the headlights and you did! Good sht bro.

Those headlights look great, Matt.

My camera is out for repair (again), I'm trying not to post a video with a crappy cell phone mic :laugh:

Soon come, though, hopefully. Have about a dozen things to button up first before it really starts rolling down the road.
================================

Very surprised that this actually came together and all works, considering the ridiculous wiring and customization involved in it (imagine 4 wires to every little LED on a tight-*** circuit board, all connected to each other, with resistors on every one, and all the buttons have to work, etc.
If it every breaks I'll give up. LMAO

MoncefA33 04-09-2013 02:50 PM

You've done a A+ job on this G35. Great work. Love how OEM+ it is. Especially since it is supercharged and Haltech'd. So sick.

niceguy 04-09-2013 04:18 PM

Great imagination and execution...In the last year I think I changed the oil 4 times, washed it less than that and got a set of all weather Goodyear floormats lol...

Hand-dremeled/filed and engraved the clear screenm Put some DiNoc behind the clear screen,
Somehow, it actually turned out half decent. Peculiar, and not expected.

Sorry for cell phone pics again
