Installed illuminated emblem.

I realize opinions vary, however over the last year or so I've commented several times when I see this on a Mercedes. My wife surprised me and bought it for my birthday 😁. Starting to drop hints on exhaust...

I will change fogs to LEDs for better balance (first set of LEDs failed) and may go with a bluer HID in the future.

My car blew a coupler on a coolant hose today, leaving me stranded on the side of the road First time it's let me down ever. Steam out the hood and temp pegged H.
Luckily I was .5 miles from a dealer so I had someone bring the part and tools and did a roadside repair.

If anyone has a an older / high mileage G i suggest checking the plastic bits on your coolant system... The part completely disintegrated. This one is behind the engine on the passenger side.

 

Is that the plastic bleeder port?

 

No, it just looks like it was some plastic coupler... I think it's for the line which goes into the heater core. I should probably check the bleeder port and replace it as well, I'm sure it will break next.

 

Installed LED backup lights. LED on right, stock 921 incandescent on the left. With both LEDs, it is bright enough that the camera image is still mostly color even in pitch dark.

Very nice! Gotta love it when our wives actually listen to the subtle hints we give. Hopefully there's a new exhaust in your future!

 

the first gen g35 has this. later with the g37 they removed it on majority of the car. i recall some saying they had it but most didnt, i dont. im wondering if g37 owners who dont have the bleeder can use this to replace the coupler with the added bleeder function? anyone

 

@saywhat¿?

Last time I did a drain/fill I didn't bleed anything. I used a vacuum filler tool to refill. Took all of 5 minutes to fill. About due for another drain/fill this summer, might be a good idea to just replace the plastic coupler with a aluminum one this time around. Car is going on 8 years old now. Which side of the engine are these coupler(s) on (driver/passenger)?

 

its on the passenger side. im not sure if i was jus lucky but when i did a drain and fill i just poored slowly didnt have to bleed. the radiator has a bleed screw the driver side not sure how much it helped but thats the only bleeder thats on the car from factory. . but ive since purchased a spill free funnel i used on my moms nissan when i did her radiator. its pretty functional.

 

Purchased sport rotors pads and banjo bolts.
also a flare wrench.
extended studs and lisle tool. 8mm hubcentric spacer.
z1 diff bushings.

 

I bought those too. I bought my car already modded, rebuilt salvage. I was trying to fit on another set of wheels and they all fit except the side that had the accident damage. I figure it was because they hub was wrong (was an AWD on a RWD). Turns out it was because the car had Z1 extended lugs on all 4 corners at one point, but when the company repaired the car from the accident they replaced that hub with an OEM hub, so it had the shorter OEM studs. So yeah I had to buy a set of 10 extended studs and the tool.

Z1 bushings? Full kit, just rear? Actual bushings or the inserts? Tell me how you like them. I'm trying to do my car in phases so I'll do trans/sub frame kinda stuff at the same time, but I'm not there yet.

 

It’s only been 1 week since I bought my 2nd G, and I’ve already done a bunch for her.

- GT-R Start Button
- GT-R Map Lights
- Wrapped the Badly Worn Steering Wheel
- All new Interior LED’s, Trunk LED and License Plate LED’s from Diode Dynamics
- New Interior Aluminum Trim on the Drivers Side Front Door
- Replaced the Drivers Side Mirror
- Q60S Shift **** and Boot

Starting to look into Cool Air Intakes now. Pumped to be back in an awesome car after losing mine 6 months ago to an elderly reckless driver.

 

Hey man. Just the Differential and subframe bushings. Its on the back burner for now. Need to get my akebonos on and figure out wheel clearance issues.

 

What are the GTR Map lights? Looking good, time for some Carsmo *****.
