Dranom's F50

Wassup fellas!

I picked up this F50 few months ago because i need a sedan for the family. I was previously driving a g35. The F50 has some mods on it already so im just gonna tweak it a bit and enjoy it. Anyways heres some pics

my old G35

First week I ordered some Leatherique to clean the leather and condition it. Also did some interior detailing.

After that I transferred my Beltronics rx65 from the G to the Q

heres the wiring diagram

After a few weeks  I removed the Greddy intake the car had come with and put the stock Airbox back  I just ordered a K&N drop down filter to put in. Also got a new battery from autozone since the battery died all of a sudden. :shrug: Goodthing it had warranty still so it's all good.

Next up was the engine. It was begging to be cleaned so I did a bit of cleaning
Ordered some stuff at Detailed image. Great customer service :biggthumpup: one of my detailing spray spilled while in transit and they replaced it no questions asked.
So if anyone is in the market for some wax, detailer etc 
check them out. link below

This is the degreaser I used 

P21S Total Auto Wash 
* all around degreaser. I also used this with those stubborn carpet stains. Works great. 50/50 water mix

After spraying it and leaving it for 10-15 mins I used a brush to agitate the dirt a little bit so it's easier to rinse off

Rinsed it  then scrubbed it with car soap to clean off the remaining stuff. Second rinse and dry with towel.

[IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k275/dranom/F50%20Pictures%20and%20other%20stuff/4d135641.jpg[/IMG]

 I also used my Metro Vacuum to blow off excess water so its easier to dry then finished it off with  chemical guys Black on Black trim restorer
*if ever you use the trim restore DO NOT SPRAY the intake vents near the windshield or else your AC will smell like shit! just use a MF towel and spray on it.

After: Way better =)

I just got the rear center console. 
But i think it doesnt fit

oh, you are adding the tech package one to the non recline?

[QUOTE=Kouki Monster;430700]oh, you are adding the tech package one to the non recline?[/QUOTE]

just the center console. It has some radio/climate control but it doesnt work just the rear sunshade button works

still need to bolt it on properly one of these days to see if it really fits or not

if ever it fits i still need to dye the leather and change the wood grain

oh i see!
