That little Gold Top Secret Silvia in the driveway is really detailed. What scale? RC ? If so, Gas or electric? I'm into RC, I have some 1/10 & 1/18th scale cars & 4 weedeater RC boats, Two "V"hulls a Catamaran & a Hydro...

The brakes were alot of work and headache. Unless someone comes out with a kit for this, it wasn't worth the time to design this and get everything fitted.
The RC is a 1/10 scale. It's an old Yokomo YR-4 electric. I converted it to a Yr-4 M2J recently.

The TireRack TPMS system SUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!!
Actully it's great except for one fatal flaw. The sensors!
They are underdesigned, and mount to the inside of your wheel in a really poor fashion.
Not only does it throw off the balance of your wheels, they break, they move, and they will end up flopping around the inside of your wheels while you are driving.
Not to mention when you get your tires replaced. The tire shop guys are almost always guranteed to break at least one of them while changing your rubber.
Don't get me wrong I loved the system while I had it on my twin turbo 300zx. But in the end it just wasn't worth the balance problems and headaches.

It is possible to do targa, but it might just be expensive if they need to form the glass for your roof.

IM not talking
All I know is a "certain NA" G-35 banged out 313 rwhp on a Mustang dyno corrected @331 rwhp. The poor guy with the turbo charged z that day only banged out 321 rwhp @ 4800 feet
Just a few more bolts to turn, and maybe a few more ponies can be had.
Cam timing on a VQ will wake them up!

how were you able to get the passenger mirror tilt down when you put it into reverse? i want that feature. something that infiniti is lacking when all european cars have it.
Custom front bumper for my FMIC.
I have a few electrical mods that no one else has (yet).
I have a custom mounted Z UTEC in my G (custom mounted with carpet tape and wire ties!)
I have a custom mounted Z Koyo radiator (used part of the OEM bumper to make custom mounts, polished them and all):
My OEM fog light switch turns my fog lights on and off independant of my headlights
My car 'beeps' when I lock it and beeps twice when I unlock it, instead of honking the horn.
My passenger mirror tilts down when I put the car in reverse
Back in the day I was the first person in the G/Z community to be able to raise my windows with my OEM remote!!!! (glory stories are good!)

It costs anywhere from $8,000 to 16,000. I heard 16-20 for the 300c. I can't remember exact figure right now. Anyways, a coupe could probably try.

aw, ic. i thought it was simple rewiring and that it. i have it on my 330, really helps in avoiding the curb rash.
care to share how the fog lamps can be turned on independent of the headlamps? i did the same thing for my IS, but not familiar how to do it on an infiniti

Ha, basically the same thing. I'm using a custom electronic module to 'read' the Nissan switch matrix. This system is unique (Trying to be nice) in the fact that there really arn't wires ran to any of the switches on the steering wheel. Instead, there are comm lines ran up there, and I tapped in to the comm lines to detect the position of the switch.
That was the hard part, the easy part was simply energizing the fog light wire under the hood. There is an OEM relay that does this, but I just used my own relay and tied the outputs in parallel (which really isn't a good way to do it, but it work). When the module is ready to be released it will most likely come with a dedicated underhood relay to isolate the two outputs.
I have 14K miles on my car (early '04) buy my electrical system has about 100,000 hours on it!
