Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

And one for fun, which my friends appropriately dubbed "Immortan Jon". Taken while I was spraying the sunroof visor in the car.
Obviously taken before I fabricated the rear shelf.

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

My dogs of war, my apologies for the lack of posting lately.. here's a couple updates. Been busy with work, but I got around to finishing the rear support braces for the 'cage'. *May I just reiterate that this is not a legit rollbar, and that I have no intentions of racing. FWIW, it's bolted to fact...

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

Today I pulled the carpet completely, thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed a ton of crap out of all the nooks and crannies, found another pocket-full of spare change (still some in the seat I just couldn't knock free), and decided that I am NOT going to be permanently removing the carpet. The floor is fa...

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

Yeah, I decided against pulling the carpet out today, but did pull the console. I will fabricate a new console soon. Pics to come later.

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

It's an interesting project, but probably won't be 'maxxed' until you hit it with matt black paintjob. Perhaps you could mount your fuel light at the bottom of the a-pillar instead, it'd be easier to see. Thanks Aussie; I could move it just about anywhere, but I think I'm fairly pleased with it up ...

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

A bit more "progress" this weekend, though I was limited in the time I had. A couple friends stopped by for a while and I had to tackle some home rewiring in the kitchen for a while today. I did not get to begin fabricating the rear shelf yet, but I think I know what material I am going to...

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

Ok, so I now have an external low fuel light (not just a little amber light below the fuel gauge)! I wired together a simple flashing light circuit with a 555 timer, a capacitor, 2 resistors and a super bright red LED, so when my fuel is low it pulses on/off as seen in the video attached (because......

Re: Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

Hey, thanks, Clint. Like I said, the blue light does not remain on the dash. I have it in a box in the backseat, only for the tongue-in-cheek homage to MM. I figured any diehard fans would get it. If you look close at that pic I posted, you'll see the light is just kind of balancing on the upper das...

Beater Infiniti G35 influenced by The Road Warrior

Buenos días! Let me kick this off quick.. there's a very painful, depressing story regarding to my formerly-planned move to Argentina, but I'll cut it all down to this: "I sort of inherited an '03 Infiniti G35 after I sold my Jeep (my totally custom DD) and my dad leased a new car." Given ...

Re: Offloading Mad Max 2 collection

Can you share what offers have not been accepted so we have an idea what you're looking for? Are you (your friend) willing to separate these and sell individually?
