Mod advice Fiberglass molding a gauge cluster?
My friend owns a V6 2010 SE Challenger and we want to replace the Gauge Cluster with a completely uniquely shaped one. What is the best way to do this? I hear fiberglass molding is the way to go.

Mechanical advice What happens if you merge the intake with the ac vent?
Obviously not to get cooler air, because the alternator would suck up way too much energy, but would the engine get any extra air at all?

Is this a bad spot for a dashboard phone mount?
Ngl, finding a good spot for a phone mount with this dashboard layout is kinda tricky. The center screen sits pretty low, there's this raised section above it, and I'd rather not mess with the air vents.
Just picked up a lisen metal car mount and figured I'd give this spot a shot. Looks pretty clean imo, and it doesn't block my view through the windshield. It does cover a little bit of the center screen tho. Guess I'll see how it looks with my phone on it lol.
For those with a similar dashboard setup, where do you guys mount your phones? Would you leave it here, move it closer to the windshield, or put it off to the side?

Modification Building an app to track future & current build(s)... anyone interested?
I keep my build info (prices, links, mods, etc.) in a spreadsheet like a lot of you probably do, but it feels like it could be kicked up a notch. I’ve been sitting on this idea for a while, and with my G80 still in production and a huuuuuge spreadsheet full of mods, figured it was finally time to start building it. It also made me think other people might get some use out of it too. It's still in the early prototype stage, and yes, there are a few apps out there that already do this, but they’re all pretty whack and missing the features/UI I’m after.
Here’s where I’m at:
- Save inspo from social, links or pictures (you would have your own vision/mood board)
- Keep your mods organized by status, with price, links to where you got it, install date, photos, receipts, etc.
- Your own “garage” to house your car collection, current projects and future builds included
- Track what you’ve actually spent vs. what you planned to spend, with budget tracking capabilities
- Make your build public if you want, with a shareable card you could post on IG
- Export as a spreadsheet
Is this something you’d actually use, or does your current setup work fine? And if it did everything above, how much would you pay for it?
Appreciate any honest feedback, even if it’s “nah, not for me.” Either way, I’ll be using it lol
TL;DR: building an app to track car builds (inspo board, mods list, budget tracking, shareable build card, spreadsheet export, multi-car garage) since the ones out there are mid. Would you use it, and would you pay for it?

Modification 350z WITH M56 ECU
Hello everyone! I’m looking for information on using an M56 or Q70 ECU in a 350Z for a VK engine swap. My goal is to keep the engine naturally aspirated and use the VK56VD for its power and efficiency.
I’m especially interested in CAN bus compatibility, wiring harnesses, ECU integration, immobilizer systems, and any other electronics that would need to be addressed to make everything work together.
I’m starting from the ground up and still have a lot to learn, so this will be a long-term project. So far, I’ve managed to pick up a Titan engine, an M56 wiring harness, and an M56 intake for extremely cheap.
If anyone has experience with this swap, knows of similar builds, or has any advice on where to start, I’d really appreciate the help. Any information, resources, or guidance would be nice.
I have only seen 1 video about the VD swap and its just a showcase of HP numbers for a g35.

Need some inspiration on how to put a removable acccess hatch to this engine. Would ideally need to bolt the middle seat back in it worse case we’ll leave it out. If anyone’s got a picture of a hatch or work they’ve done similar would be great.
