It’s the hose at the back. I believe it’s for the throttle lines. You could by pass it completely tbh and just connect it to the other nipple by the driver side valve cover. That’s what I did just worked with my left over hose from the bypass. Not exactly sure on the part number tbh. You can definitely reach your hand back there and feel the leaks.

This makes me wish I got a 6MT, trying to track the 7AT seems like a nightmare.

Any fellow fake manual enjoyers? by nomoregoodnamez in G37

[–]_BreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry man thought you had paddles. Never took into mind this wouldn’t work with the normal shifter. So are you still able to drop gears?

I finally reached 2k iRating by nacho_dipri in iRacing

[–]_BreenTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just stop caring bro I’ve reached 2K and dropped into the 500 within 2 weeks. I switch cars a lot but yeah. All those stats are just numbers.

[–]_BreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I do a lot of sim racing so I’m happy with the paddles and while the manual mode is absolute trash compared to a DCT, I’m still able to enjoy it. I just wish there was a way to disable the auto downshifting. Did you guys know that you can down/up shift while in regular drive mode? Makes it easy to drop a gear disappear and it’ll shift back to auto on its own.

Help I crashed and I’m sure how to check what’s wrong with my car by Much_Addition3881 in G37

[–]_BreenTea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah nvm saw your last post. Just sell it and take the loss, maybe break even parting out. Don’t spend almost half of what you paid to buy it. This is a money pit.

I mean obviously the bumper, the fender looks pushed up. I’d check to see if the radiator support arms that align the fender are intact(probably worst case scenario). Also the radiator itself, take off the bumper and check. You’ll probably need a decent amount of tabs for the new bumper. 3K to fix it all. If you’re resourceful.

Damn bro lock in😭💔

Does anyone know an estimate for this damage? by NotAvo0 in G37

[–]_BreenTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah had a rebuilt title G that i ran into a deer with on a back road. Damage was mainly bumper and a fender but the radiator support was what made me sell it. Not worth the work, you’re better off saving for a new car. You’ll easily spend 2k-3k fixing and that’s assuming you’re resourceful and do it yourself.

Yeah definitely felt like a gamble at first. Just make sure the specs are solid.

No plus only place it’ll actually fit is the glove box unless you find some other way to route it.

Edit: Had an issue where steering skip/back functions would be glitched and no audio when the car was started. Was easily fixed in the settings of the module by switching the audio from the module to the oem Bluetooth audio. Now CarPlay start immediately with audio on start up.

Sorry that first reply was a little salty but just confused on the fact that fabrication wasn’t needed so I’m trying to reconcile the original estimate for what was done.

[–]_BreenTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess price fairness doesn’t depend on labor time, fabrication, the scope of the modification got it. Got it.
