Looks nice, did you replace the battery that was in it? I noticed a significant amount of corrosion on the battery post in one of those pictures so the battery is probably shot.

It can pass a tester if the cells are still in good condition but that type of corrosion is caused by one thing only, leaking gas. If it's a vented battery then I would just clean everything with an acid neutralizer since they do vent atmospherically. If it's a sealed battery I personally would just replace it since it probably has broken the seal around that battery post but you could just acid neutralizer the area, apply anti-oxidation grease and see if it ever comes back.
The G has air ducting directly into the cabin via the cabin air filter and I wouldn't want any corrosives ingested into the AC system, or damaging the electronics inside the sealed battery compartment. |

I've been driving the car for a couple of weeks now and my only complaint is gas mileage but in the infiniti world that world is almost non-existant.
Bought some 2010 g37 coupe wheels and fished the wire tuck. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...c97e01ce30.jpgPassenger side https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...804f8d7730.jpgFront, also upgraded horns https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...085c401454.jpgDrivers Side https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...54e9511f81.jpgEngine bay shot after headlight harness was relocated https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...ef4216d2fc.jpgCurrent stance https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...03700e394f.jpgThe Main Idea. |

Any updates?! Car's coming along fantastic

It's been a sweet and sour ride. I've been driving the car daily and it's starting to wear down on me.
I ran over a piece of truck thread at night that destroyed both my bumpers and rad support. After getting a bumper I get rear ended, luckily it was just a bumper and trunk lid. A week ago my Ypipe broke so I sound awesome. On another note I found the skins for the passenger side seat. Decided to work on the melting dash, this by far has been the cheapest of fixes. I'll upload some pics later. Thanks for checking in. |
Sooo, I've discovered the power of liquid nails and it's many uses. After seeing some fixes and I realized fillers for the cracks had to be flexible. This meant a silicone/rtv adhesive would best, bondo and solid fillers would crack again.
Put the tube in a caulk gun and fill away. For excess use a dentist pick to scoop the excess and remove the extra from the dash pattern. You might get it on the first try and on some you might have to re do them. As for the paint, this part I half assed. Use interior paint for a better finish. I used HOUSE PAINT WITH A ROLLER BRUSH, YES I DID. The results were far better than expected, after doing this I realized I could have used black and yeah... So far it's been 3 months and no signs of fatigue. I'm happy with the results 80% happy with color. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...dda390cb82.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...362dafce73.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...a8a35e6eaa.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/g35driv...2ab2893f13.jpg |
