IMO, that doesn't look like previous body work, that sounds like a crappy excuse the shop that rolled used.

That looks like getting too aggressive with the roller (trying to go way too fast) without warming the paint to allow it to stretch.

But I'm VERY far from experienced/expert with this. How does the inner poriton of the fender look, does it look like it had bondo work?

 

To be fair to the shop, they build great show VIP cars, and warned me that if the car had previous body work, then it could crack. The inner fender is fine, but the area by the gas door has scratches under the paint, which the shop told me is probably body work.

 

Some paint is more brittle, and also heat is a must.

 

Yeah oh well....so like ME GUSTA said, I should get some paint sealant for it? Maybe have a body shop do it?

 

And I'm also ordering the ionic nismo lip tonight, debating whether or not to order it painted...its only $120 extra for paint but my car would be in the shop anyway for a paint and install of a front lip..car color is BO

 

I'm selling my brembo brakes and someone offered me stock 05 sedan calipers will those fit my 04 coupe?

-thanks

 

yes

 

This is my first post so bare with me, I have an automatic 2005 g35x and I have searched everywhere but apparently I'm the only one who found a problem, when I try and buy one in the description it says hood will need to be modified in order for it to fit correctly is this true or will it fit proper? I dont want to buy it then find out I need to buy a whole different hood for my car, I'm alright if it barely touches the hood. Also, I'm only 17 and my car knowledge isn't exactly the highest, would I be able to install it myself? Would it be better to do myself or just save the trouble and bring It to a mechanic?

 

Unless the engine in an X sets higher then in the coupe there should not be any issues with the hood, I'd wait for others to verify though. As for installation, it isn't difficult at all just remember to put everything back where it came from. Be sure to disconnect the battery before touching the throttle body and don't over torque any bolts. There's DIY's on youtube regarding installation and shouldn't take more then an hour.

This is the one I will be buying in case I misread, or if anyone wants to recommend something better. Thank you for the feedback

 

Hi folks.

There's a black plastic cowling that ducts air into the air filter box. On my car, it was rattling because the plastic fasteners were old. I removed the item. Has anyone done this / left it off?

What's the expected result?

regards

 

You just mis-read dude.

The only thing that needs to be modified with the 1/2" Spacer is the engine cover, because the threads that hold it are not long enough once you install the spacer.

You can choose to simply leave the plastic cover off, or you can get a 5/16" spacer.

 

Very useful thread.

 

search "Infiniti Nissan Clips" in ebay or where ever and you will find 25-50 packs for under $15

Or just go to Nissan/Infiniti and buy some, more expensive though.

There's no reason to leave it off, really. It won't HURT anything to leave it off, but it does decrease the efficancy of the intake.

 

hey does anyone know if this exhaust is good? it seems pretty cheap
