No, not yet. I looked up places nearby that might do it but never actually got around to going. maybe i'll try again sometime soon
in other news, i made an impulse buy recently with some parts in Japan. As far as i know they will be a first on a G so we'll see how it turns out lol. Have also been thinking of resurrecting an old diffuser idea i had started a few months ago.. i had made a template, although i have also not been in the mood to spend too much on the G lately..
kind of hard to tell, but you can see below the first draft which turned out to be too wide (the outer sections relative to the main inner channel). it should look good length and height-wise though. the real problem is the Tomei is so big i would need to cut a large portion of the driver's side in order to mount the damn thing
I'm actually looking to Re-Badge my G37s... to exactly what you got. i found the 370gt badge and the nissan badges but cant find SKYLINE anywhere.. any suggestion?

bought these catch cans from upgarage like 6 years ago and i finally took the time to install them today lol
routed the lines and now just need to have the brackets painted before doing the final install. please excuse the filthy engine bay.. will give everything a good cleaning soon i promise
next on the todo list is adding the oil pressure and temp gauge i bought over black friday. then some additional goodies ive been collecting
over the holidays i decided i would finally take care of the oil gallery gaskets to have some peace of mind since i planned on tracking the car a lot more this year. what was intended to be a chill job turned into a headache after i replaced the gaskets and put everything back together only to realize my timing had skipped and the car would not start
so i took everything off again, reset timing (and probably turned the motor by hand at least 20x to make sure it was right ), then reinstalled for the 2nd time and success -- car fired up right away with no other issues
as you can see, the upper gallery wasn't bad but the very corner had already started to fail. lower gasket was completely intact and none of the screws were loose. the eps kit is definitely high quality and having the new hex bolts is nice
now i just need to fully bleed to coolant. i took the time to replace the rear stock plastic heater hose coupler with a dorman metal one since i was already in there. besides that, gave everything a much needed clean and went full honda spoon ricer mode and painted my valve covers yellow lol
added some bling and rinsed down the engine bay even though its raining this entire week in the bay. too bad the strut bar and intakes could use some detailing but otherwise im really liking the polished look of the tomei oil cap and hks rad cap in contrast with the freshly painted valve and front timing covers
it reminds me how ugly the vq is lol so i've decided a future project i'm going to tackle will be to do a partial tuck to clean up the horrendous stock wiring
also added the innovate oil gauge. the cheap ebay tee fitting for the pressure sensor didnt work out so i ended up ordering this ktuned adapter which is not only way better quality but also let me position the gauge sensor right where i needed it since space down by the oil filter is already so cramped with the sandwich plate and an lines
for the temp sensor i used this pre tapped an fitting on the hot side of the oil cooler. fit perfectly and it let me route the wiring up with the headlight harness to keep it all tidy
current view of the interior. decided to mount the gauge down by the AC controls. easy to view even with the steering wheel on and didnt need to extend the wires or anything complicated like that
next i need to get around to installing my spl tie rods before getting the car aligned again
