Went a bit overboard with grounding cables. True 4 gauge high strand copper power wire for the main cables, and 8 gauge for the throttle bodies. All the throttle body terminals crimped and soldered. The closed copper ones crimped with an industrial grade crimper since cant really solder those ones. Not going anywhere lol. Already have this exact setup installed, made 3 more sets to sell within local circles. 2 already accounted for haha.

 

 

What did I do yesterday?

Pretty high-tech: replaced both wiper blades

When possible, I prefer OEM and was planning on getting the refills but found the previous owner had swapped to aftermarket

So, instead of trying to sell my wife on the value of OEM blades @ $20+ each, I settled for Rain-X "Expert Fit" beams for $10 each.

Hahaha, don't think I'll be shipping these anywhere. Especially across the border. I used the highest quality components, so price wise it would probably be stupid lol. Have another buyer lined up already. 2 to go. Who knows, if my new wire supplier pans out, might be worth it to sell to the US in the future.

EDIT:Ok, changed my mind a bit. Looked at the Stillen kit, its worse quality wire, and doesnt ground the throttle bodies, still costs $100 USD with shipping. As it sits right now, would be like $150 USD shipped. Not making much money since I didnt really buy the components in bulk (a note for the future me), but seems fair.

 

Why are you adding grounding cables to your 7 year old Infiniti?

 

I had the kit before, but crappy wires. Took it off, and noticed a difference, more lag in shifts and throttle response. Its so minimal that you barelly notice it, but you definitely notice it. Also, once I added a hardwired dashcam with parking mode and the compustar remote start with shock sensors and alarm, with cold temperatures, I noticed a much heavier drain on the battery. Did a drain test before and after the install, and its actually a fairly large improvement. If anything, with age, its a nice upgrade to the factory 20 gauge grounds.

 

Tried to replace my ypipe and cats.. all bolts are rusted as ****. Didnt get any where with it.
PB blaster cant touch this.

Going to get few quotes from shops around.

 

 

Yep, much more effective rust breaker than PB blast

 

FINALLY installed my brakes over the weekend.

 

6 point sockets and a breaker bar?

 

I had to cut my y pipe off... thing was stuck on there

 

Got berk hfc and beluga ypipe installed by the shop today for $350. They had to blow torch majority of bolts( including demon bolt) thats how rusted **** was.

Thanks guys for suggesting tranny fluid / acetone combo but it wouldnt cut it.

 

I have a y pipe in my garage collecting dust. I need a day at an exhaust shop to build out my custom design, but it's so hard to find the time.

 

Last night I rebent and pounded back into shape my Toolbooth ***** engine under-cover after it got caught on a chunk of ice and got half ripped off and bent back over 90 degrees

the TBW cover was one of the first things I put on my G about 6 or 7 years ago and has so many scars now but has been worth every cent...I still can't believe I got it back into shape yesterday and the aluminium didn't sheer...just added a couple of washers to some of the bolts this time and it all went back together
