Calipers. Debated a gloss clear coat but decided to leave satin to match the satin finish of the SSR type F Wheels. Loving the contrast.



Going to port them on my own. Well mostly just get rid of the ridges not necessarily enlarging. Will polish as well. Was going to send off but decided not too pay that much and try myself.

Injectors were gunky around the O rings. Cleaned them up. So the upper and lower plenums were filled with oil and gunk. The throttle bodies were clean as a whistle. This tells me my catch can is working and the gunk is pre catch can. I was also able to clean the cylinder and valves

 

 

 

I'm trying to play catch up with you but it's hard lol. Looking good.

 

Thanks man! Your beating me now. my car is in pieces now for the foreseeable future.

 

 

Now is the time James, pull that fender/hood seal and try to get the wiring to hide behind the seal. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Once you do start by plugin the airbag sensor first then plug the rest and try to fit it all behind the hood/fender seal.

 

My man. I will do that!

 

Wire tuck opportunity?

So, my 08 sport bumper and lip are now sold marking the end of the first gen v36 sedan. Bittersweet as there aren't many to be had. Unfortunately when the mod bug bites she's nasty. Never thought I'd do it still on the fence really. As we close out gen one were slowly stumbling upon chapter 2.
test fit one headlight, other should be here today. Bumper still held up at z1motorsports.
Oil cooler is in. Haven't had a chance to really test it yet but no leaks from it nor the upper oil pan where the oil P sending unit went in.

Some motivation from the engine bay thread

 

hey mate

Great Thread on what you were building with your first gen. etc. Fantastic!
the photos were awesome

just looking into doing some body stuff for my own sedan G37, and just wanted to see if you had heard of anyone fitting a Coupe front ontu a sedan.
The only reason i ask, is it *seems* that there isnt a great deal of difference between the 2 fronts. (pics related)
- the top image, with the triangle circled is from a 2011 coupe (seems to be the same for all years)
- the bottom image with the flat line is from the 2011 sedan (seems to be the same for all years)


as far as i can see (and yes i need to check dimensions lol) it seems to be just a little triangle part that could be cut back, which is the difference between the 2 bumpers.
have you seen or heard of anyone doing this?

 

made some changes.
10+ headlights bumper grill. Used my bumper stiffeners nobody talks about needing these but the new bumper doesn't include these or the weather stripping. Also trimmed my oem crash absorber. Just the middle.tab needs trim but I trimmed my right side to accommodate the z1 25 row oil cooler and lines. Z1 toe arms so I can cut down camber and keep toe at 0.
Planning on adding an aftermarket woodgrain again!
Oem lip. Lower grill, fogs etc on the way.
Thinking of doing a full body wrap.

 

News of note, sold the SSR, wanted someting with a lip. Went with ESR sr06. 19x10.5 square. +12 front +22 rear.
265/35/19 around.
