Installed a factory black grille and an ams/infiniti heat exchanger. Anyone else have 83 of those plastic body panel push pin thingies left over after that? 😂

 

[SkylineDreamz]

Lol there’s always left over fasteners. Good work on the install!

 

[BlaQBetty]

Thanks! I've never used an air lift tool before so that was fun. Had to top off the coolant reservoir a couple of times after the install and made sure to burp the HE when done. But it everything seems to be working fine. Either that or my excitement has me overlooking two cooked water pumps lol.

 

[SkylineDreamz]

Lmao, nah I doubt you cooked the pumps. It’s not as scary a job as people think, it’s just messy and important to get it right. Sounds like you did

Zoom out and show a full pic. Been contemplating this.

Nice work! That's a solid upgrade there, and the black grill looks great!

Tesla screen and AV upgrades don't take long at all.

Okay, okay. You guys have shamed me into putting in the low pressure fuel pump. So that's done now.

On that note, I hope whichever engineer decided to put the IPDM in that crap location gets bitten by their dog when they get home.

And whoever put the passenger LDP O2 sensor connector where it is!

Got the trans mount installed! Haven't driven it yet. Crazy how much I was able to flex the stock one with just my hands though.

Have a couple of work meetings, then gotta take my daughter to gymnastics. Then I finally have some me time and going to install the subframe collars and diff brace.

Yay for progress!

Aaannnddddd life got in the way again today. Took Friday off. Just have to go buy a beta fish and hopefully get the rest of this done.

 

[BlaQBetty]

Also, have some thoughts about the trans mount. Will post soon.

Seems too good to be true.

That feels more accurate to how these things go.
