Same brand but I believe it’s a different model. I’ve had this one for about 9 months and haven’t had any issues.

No, from what I understand it’s supposed to last for the life of the car. I’ve never changed it and never had any issues. Around 165k miles now and shifting very smoothly.

Depends on the year, what year is yours?

@@prestonmcneill811 It's very similar install but yours only has 1 intake on the driver side. This one works for your car: amzn.to/3YXb1ph

Honestly 2k clear is much better. 1K is less durable, yellows over time and has lower gloss and clarity. I would just order the 2k clear so you only have to do the job once.

Drying the headlight and surrounding area is important, so the tape adheres to the car. This helps avoid scratching the paint around the headlight when wet sanding.

Correct, do not use polish or compound as it will be hard to remove before spraying the clear coat. If any polish or compound residue is left behind under the clearcoat, it will likely peel. Just sand, rinse off any soap really well, dry completely, then you can spray the 2k clear.

Yeah I was lucky it happened while I was doing an oil change last year. All of a sudden I saw smoke and eventually figured out it was the connector.

Yes, in my experience, maguire/3M restore kits only last about 9 months and then you’ll have to restore the headlights again. That’s a lot of work and kind of annoying. This clear coat lasts years.

More than a year later and they look like the day I restored them. 100% clear and ZERO peeling.

I really appreciate it! Updated the links; please let me know if they work for you. Thanks!

@@DIYGarageNation The links do work. Thanks 🤙

Glad it was helpful, good luck with the install!

Some come with 2 depending on the engine model. The passenger is the one that generally fails first so I would change it as soon as possible. Let us know how it goes!

While I'm sure 600 grit works to an extent, using finer grits like 1200 + 1500 will give you a much better finish. It'll make the clear coat adhere better, look clearer, and last longer. It's a bit more work, but it's worth it for a more professional looking finish.

Glad it helped!

@@DIYGarageNation do you have any videos of how to replace the sensors?

@@black_cartel_pope5358 No I have not replaced any sensors, sorry.

@DIYGarageNation ok thanks man

That would make it much easier lol!

This steering wheel does not fit the Maxima.

You're right, a proper respirator is always good practice.

you're overreacting just work outside and stop being an idiot

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you 🫡

This method last years, the 3M/Phillips kits only lasts around 6 months.

@@DIYGarageNation 3M with Maguire's clear coat 4 years ago still look like the day they were restored

@@tomr3319 Do you park your car in a garage, away from the sun? The majority of reviews for Maguire's state it last less than 1 year. In my experience it lasts 6-9 months.

I have not tested that brand so I can only recommend the one I used (ERA). If you end up going with SprayMax let us know how it goes!

We used a tiny bit of dish soap. However, it's not necessary, using only water is also perfectly fine.

@@DIYGarageNation ok thanks

@@KING-MUFFASA If you use soap, make sure you wash it off completely before spraying any clearcoat.

Hand tight until you can’t turn them anymore. Once you’re done, push the metal plate in to ensure the springs still go down slightly and bounce back up. The bolts have a metal spacer that leaves a gap that allows the spring to move slightly. So go ahead and tighten them all the way down.

Either one of the cables is pinched or the trim is not sitting properly on the steering wheel frame. Remove it and check all the clips on the trim.

If topping off at 800 worked well for you, that's great. We increased to 1500, and after over a year, the headlights still look perfectly clear with no peeling and no yellowing. Technically, 1500 would still look "rough" if seen under a microscope. The 2K clear coat we recommend has a hardener/activator that provides superior durability compared to 1K clear coats, making it more resistant to wear and tear. I'm unsure about clear coats that don't require activating the hardener, as in your case. Please share your results after a year, and let us know how they've held up. Thanks!

Thanks for the compliment! And good luck with the project!

Link has been updated, try this one: amzn.to/4cZAfIx

Nissan replaces Matic J with Matic S. It’s compatible with our tranny. Zero issues, I’ve changed the fluid 3x now. No jerking.

do you not have to pump it back in from the bottom instead of where the dipstick is?

@@qJooosh No. If you have a dipstick you can use a funnel to refill the fluid.

@@DIYGarageNation okay thank you for the clarification !

Not 100% sure but it may be due to moving the steering wheel around while installing or a loose cable. I would disconnect the battery, remove airbag, unclip and reconnect everything including the ground wire. Check if there are any codes using a code reader as well. Let us know if it goes off!

I think something wasn’t connected right because I unplugged and plugged everything back in, and light turn off by itself. Thanks

@@3dwinvaz483awesome glad it worked out 👍🏼

will this 2x dry transparent?????

Did this to the headlights over 1 year ago. They are still like new, super clear. No other method I've tried has worked. Follow the instructions carefully. When you spray the 2k clear coat, do LIGHT coats, no need to do heavy coats.

Yes, 2k clearcoat dries completely transparent, make sure to follow the steps.

@@DIYGarageNation WHAT IF YOU HEAVY COAT ONLY ONCE WILL IT DRY TRANSPARENT???

MEGUIRS CRAP

Thank you, it's not too difficult if you follow along + you can save a good chunk of money by DIY.

Yes, it will fit. The 250GT is the same as the G25/G37 in the US only right hand drive. Check the link in the description.

BTW, if your skyline only has steering wheel buttons on one side of the center trim, then order the steering wheel WITHOUT the trim. Because the center trim on this steering wheel has space for buttons on the left and right side of the trim.

@@DIYGarageNation Thank you so much

​@@DIYGarageNation hi..i need a little help pls? i installed the CF steering wheel but i have to re-installit so i can adjust to make it straight but i am having trouble removing it is kind of stuck, i tried tapping the sides but it wont work i cant take off the CF steering wheel..any advice pls?

@@dabossarielruano4839 First, make sure the bolt is off. Second, keep hitting it all around the steering wheel (left, right, top, and bottom). Hit it a bit harder with the palm of your hand if it does not come off at first. It will come off with increasing strength of blows. Let us know how it goes.

Glad it was helpful! It's definitely worth doing both at the same time. Easy DIY, good luck!

@@DIYGarageNation thx 👌👌

All the parts we list we either use ourselves or have researched thoroughly. If you decide to use aftermarket valve covers, just make sure to use OEM gaskets.

@@DIYGarageNation but the Oring area is attached from the aftermarket, so you can’t replace them with OEM Oring gasket for our engine..

@@Qkfltpdls777 True, but the valve cover gaskets are the ones that come into contact with the most oil, those absolutely should be OEM. The gasket around the VVT and CAM sensor are replaceable as well, use OEM.

Awesome, hopefully the video is helpful!

1) disconnect battery. 2) remove steering wheel, disconnect and reconnect all connections (airbag cables and ground wires) check all connections and make sure they are plugged in all the way. 3) if light won’t go away use a code reader to reset any codes. That should be it. Let us know if you fix it.

alright appreciate it man 🤝🏾

@@DIYGarageNationi did the airbag reset a couple times it went off . appreciate the help

Awesome glad it worked out.

@@DIYGarageNation i had to straighten then wheel lol i had to take it off again now its back on i know the cables was good but idk bro

Check the link in the description. I used a power cord that connects to the mirror + windshield mount.

No, tac cloth should be dry.

Yes, same process and the steering wheel fits G25. Check the link in the description/pinned comment.

That is orange peel. Make sure to do VERY light coats to avoid it. If it looks bad then you will just need to sand/polish to remove it and respray with very light coats.

@@DIYGarageNation got it thanks

Should I use something even more lower as I only used 800, 1000, and 2000 grit sand paper? Or should that work to remove the orange peel

@@yo-xzn8600 Yes you can, as long as you go back to 800 - 1200 - 2000 after using 400 for example.

Agreed

I did this 11 months ago. They look brand new still. Zero cracking and they are completely clear.

@@DIYGarageNationnice maybe I’ll try on my 90s Honda

I believe there is a specific 2k clear for headlights.

@@Gtown1981 the clear coat I linked works perfectly. After 1 year they still look brand new. I’m about to restore the headlights on another car, I’ll post a video about it as well. Plus an update on these Infiniti headlights

You know what. It could be you applied so much and make it thick. Spray gently and do not so close. My car use to like it. Peel off but it take like 4 years.

Thanks!
