From reading that thread it looks like when you delete the bypass, the oil heater/cooler? Lines and the throttle body lines along with the heater core there is no flow to the spring side of the thermostat when the stat is closed. This prevents the thermostat from opening and results in overheating.
There are a couple solutions shown in that thread. I'm going to look more into it tomorrow and think about drilling the thermostat to allow flow. I thinkthat's the easiest solution. I need to be more awake before I come to a conclusion though.
ive deleted my coolant lines to the oil cooler/heater and swap the stat to an 07 with no issues. I would like to delete the lines to throttle body and the silicone bypass running in front the timming cover. any issue with this??

From what I read, as long as you still have the heater core hooked up you should be ok. Read through that thread I linked a few posts back to be sure.
How complicated does having a wire tuck/shaved engine bay make it for an average mechanic to work on a car? I've always wondered if that situation occurs often.
Where is the battery and fluids that are usually located in the corners? Also, where are the winshield wipers and the black cover between the windshield and engine bay? Looks strange.

Battery = relocated
fluids = relocated
everything MIA = relocated
over on G35driver are some text and not a full DIY on how to...it's pretty straight forward in what you have to do....doing it is the hard/tedious part
There is one in the DIY section of this site. Even with the DIY you'll still need a good understanding of wiring and the associated skills to do it. It's not for everyone.
