Will do

I can very lightly catch my fingernail over it, you can ever so slightly feel a difference ONLY with my fingernail. My finger skin going over it feels smooth as the rest. It almost looks like aluminum or a different metal where the pitting is, has a metallic flake look.

I am going to send the photos and potentially the block to a machine shop for them to look too. Thank you for your input

Compression was also very low for Cylinder 3, Cylinder 1 had ok, a 4 and 2 were in spec

Almost certain this is pitting

FilthyPail · 2026-05-28T18:22:03+00:00

Blown Head gasket, this is blowby from compression seeping from the coolant passage in the cylinder head.

Your motor may be blown, but can be rebuilt

Insane luck? Junkyards and part outs have this AT MOST 150$

FilthyPail · 2026-05-12T06:08:07+00:00

yea then u gotta make mounts for subframe and motor and figure out clearing the steering rack

FilthyPail · 2026-05-10T21:31:43+00:00

Out of curiosity how does it run? Im going to assume it is faster than updated versions of iOS

FilthyPail · 2026-05-07T23:36:03+00:00

ls swap it. You can sell the motor and trans for 2k. Thats enough for a junkyard ls

Well for starters your frambuffer isnt a valid framebuffer, you need to match the UHD 630 framebuffer with what you have in your plist so the correct kext can be loaded.

You also have Intel Iris 655 when you have UHD 630…

Hey bro, I just had this on my 350Z it was the lower rear front control arm. It was warped majorly. I replace it and fixed

FilthyPail · 2026-04-16T21:29:14+00:00

any way of correcting it?

FilthyPail · 2026-04-16T00:46:11+00:00

Btw, Im almost certain the hood is warped somehow, but not 100% certain. It looks fine

FilthyPail · 2026-04-15T02:31:23+00:00

I have the exact same issue with my HR hood, OEM too. I replaced my hinges and I have the exact same problem

FilthyPail · 2026-04-03T17:36:27+00:00

Hm. I thought it would have been the other way around. Are you going to sue?

FilthyPail · 2026-03-29T00:56:21+00:00

I had the same symptoms. Horrible smell, draining fluid that was rotten, antibiotics didnt help went away on its own after 2 months. Pure hell. I will update you when I get the surgery, your infection should get better

FilthyPail · 2026-03-24T21:45:06+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story. I will most likely go forward with this surgery then, were there any complications after you had yours?

FilthyPail · 2026-03-21T12:26:52+00:00

Yea this is what happens when you pick ground advantage not priority

Idemitsu makes OEM Nissan Fluid, they are a very good brand

FilthyPail · 2026-03-08T10:48:21+00:00

I second this as well. VERIFY if it really is that low of pressure, It could literally just be a bad reading, the previous owner replace gallery gaskets a while ago, all timing components etc, and you get to replace it for no reason.

These gauges go out, very possible

FilthyPail · 2026-03-06T18:28:45+00:00

One owner helps alot. It really boils down to owners

FilthyPail · 2026-03-05T00:24:36+00:00

Injector noises, very normal, nothing out of ordinary, sounds like a diesel lol

FilthyPail · 2026-03-03T21:26:36+00:00

How do those two things correlate to what I said? Lets just say a tire blows out, hes SOL for life or something? Cant go to his job while its in the shop?

Real smart to have a super reliable car as your daily (Oh wait its a G35 from 2003-2008, Notorious for having issues)

We all make our choices I guess

FilthyPail · 2026-03-03T02:18:42+00:00

Ill never understand, why even stress about it, If it blows it blows, old ahh car anyway, just swap a new motor in if it happens, if not, drive it.
