Hey everybody,

I have spent the last hour searching and sifting through various discussions but I have been unable to find any useful info here or on Google about modding 370gt V36.

I imported myself a 2009 370gt sedan a little over a year ago and I am getting curious about possibly putting in an exhaust and doing an ECU flash.

Has anybody else done this yet? If so what sort of power gains did you get?

Also, what sort of care should I be giving to my auto gearbox? Is there a recommended service schedule?

Any good places in Sydney that can give my gearbox a checkup?

There's threads about V36 modding...you can always look up myg37 or g35driver under 07-08 g35s....same car, a little different engine, mods similar.

Most people use UpRev for ecu reflash.

As for exhaust, changing HFC is better than a cat back exhaust...

ConceptZperformance is a good site for parts.

If it's a VQ37VHR I have seen some people modify and put a R35 GTR intake and plenum on.

As soon as you start doing internals it gets very pricey.

I would ring MV Automatics and see what they can do for a valve body shift kit. Won't be as smooth but the shifts will be quicker.

I have dealt with MV Automatics and they are good, but i don't want to send my car to SA or have it off the road for a few weeks while the gearbox goes down there.

Not looking to mod the gearbox right now, just give it a checkup.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
