Hei, I have the same problem, the wire was cut to short to the plug. It's easy, use a small flat head screw driver, dig out the white plastic piece. Then using 2 small flat head screw driver, One to push up the locking mechanism, one to push out the female pins. As for me, I just cut off the wire where they joint up the halogen bulb and solder on the clean out female pins. Wha la, you have the original plug on the wire that looks untouch. As for the purple rubber thingy, just push back to fill up the hole in the plug. Thanks CHRIST for the info on the blown fuse, I accidentally reverse polarity on one of my lamp. Blown one of the 15 amp fuse, which can be found behind the battery.

I need help, I got myself the original HID Ignitor (which is the cable from the ballast to the D2R bulb, Mine was cut off), when I was converting it back from H1 to HID. I accidentally plug in reverse polarity to the Original Ballast on my right side of my HID, I believe something blew, but using my left side, I did a check on the ballast & Bulb, it worked (Lucky me). Anyone knows where is the fuse for the HID or any other remedies?

Yep, I got some shit on the rubbers too. Anyway, I have just gone to Autobarn, and they do sell the Headlamp restoration kit for $24.95 and Meguire PlasticX cost $18.95. The guy from the barn say the more expensive one works better and last longer. Check it out.

i think you can get something in autobarn to take the yellowish out. It's a kind of paste, not very expensive.

Just for your info, In Japan, Cars use 100RON petrol. Since our car comes from Jap, we better stick close to the number. 98RON is the fuel you guys should use only. Moreover, it will keep the engine cleaner since most premium fuel has some additive added to it.

Hi, Just to let you know too, there is a clip on the oil change for G35 in YouTube. Just type oil change for g35, it will show you the steps you need to take. It's pretty easy, you don't even need a oil filter wrench. As for oil. I use the best from Castrol, the red labeled one, 0w-40. it's $69.90 from super cheap. It's made for Prestige sports car, with a grade 4 rating, unlike the white labeled, which is 5w-30 (grade 3) which is more for 4 cylinder cars.

Hi Me too think the BMC CDA is good but after I read on their website and booklet, it's only for track use, not recommended for street use. I didn't buy it. As for the induction sound. I just some good duct tape and tape the internal holes of the original intake pipe and that will smooth out the flow and give you a good iduction sound too. No need to spend money on any tube.

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 19, 2008) – Infiniti today unveiled the latest expression of its “Inspired Performance,” the all-new 2009 Infiniti G Convertible, at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show. The first-ever Infiniti G Convertible builds upon the performance legacy of the Infiniti G line, with the liberation only a convertible with the top down can provide. It is scheduled to go on sale at Infiniti dealers in North America in the spring of 2009, followed later in other Infiniti markets around the world. “Designed to rejuvenate the spirit, the G Convertible adds an open-air soundtrack to the G’s legendary driving exhilaration,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, speaking before automotive media at the vehicle’s world debut. “This new G has dual beauty – it looks as good with the top up or down – along with a beautiful, leather-appointed interior that is meant to be experienced wide-open.” The new G Convertible offers a three-piece folding steel top and a special convertible-focused interior, which features a unique Bose® Open Air Sound System that dynamically changes equalization based on outside noise, vehicle speed, and top position, and an adaptive climate control system that adjusts fan speed in accordance to top position and vehicle speed. Every 2009 G Convertible comes equipped with an advanced 3.7-liter V6 rated at 325 horsepower. The engine is backed by a choice of an electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters or a responsive close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission. Technology features include standard RearView Monitor and an available touch-screen Infiniti Navigation system with XM NavTraffic® Real-Time Traffic information with 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive, Pre-Crash Seat Belts, Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) with Preview Braking and Adaptive Front lighting System (AFS). The G Convertible is offered in two models: the G37 Convertible and the G37S Convertible Sport 6MT, which adds sport-tuned steering and larger sport brakes, along with 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and W-rated performance tires. Also available is a special, limited production G Convertible Premier Edition, offered exclusively through the Bloomingdale’s Holiday Catalog. With only 200 being built, the Premier Edition features a custom Monaco Red Leather leather-appointed interior, handcrafted red-tone Maple Wood trim, Midnight Black front grille and 9-spoke 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and tires. Pre-orders for the Premier Edition are being taken now for delivery in 2009. The Infiniti display at the Los Angeles Auto Show also showcases the complete line of 2009 Infiniti vehicles, including the all-new Infiniti G37x Coupe with intelligent all-wheel drive, the new G37 Sedan with a 328-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 and a new, more powerful M35 rear-wheel drive sedan.

The good new for me is, it's only $150 to get the key made and programmed. That's the normal key without the buttons to open/close the door and the boot. But I still have another problem, When I insert the key to start my car, I have a device I need to push for 2 sec before I get full batt power, then I can step on the clutch before I can start her up. So do I need a aftermarket alarm install and throw out the button thing?

Thanks Tom, So now can I just buy those fancy keys from Ebay and give the code to nissan(or others) to programme a new key?

HI Tom, I try to look into the side kick panel and this is what I have found. Is that the BCM code? Do you need other information? El

Hi Tom, I need the code, can you help?

ON my brembos, I am now running Nismo S tune pads. No visible dust after a week. Bite well too. Came with Freado when I got the car, full of dust after a week..

For those interested, I got this from a full review in the US: 2009 Infiniti G37 Coupe - The Sophisticated Sports Coupe INFINITI G37 COUPE: THE SOPHISTICATED SPORTS COUPE Every inch, every angle, of the svelte Infiniti G37 Coupé confirms that this is a sporting thoroughbred. Designed from the outset to appeal to the heart as much as the head, the G37 Coupé is a spectacular combination of great looks and true driving performance. At a glance Stunning, uncompromised styling Roomy two plus two cabin Rear-wheel drive driving dynamics Potent 3.7-litre V6 engine producing 235 kW (320 PS) Six-speed manual or advanced seven-speed automatic 4-Wheel Active Steer available Full complement of standard equipment High level of passive safety with: Six airbags Pedestrian-friendly pop-up bonnet Three versions available: G37 G37 GT G37S Overview The Infiniti G37 Coupé offers dramatic performance in a thoroughly seductive shape. Although sharing a great deal of hardware with the G37 Sedan, the Coupé is designed to appeal to different buyer. The dynamic styling allied to its obvious performance potential will appeal to successful individuals who appreciate beautiful design and enjoy driving. They aren’t prone to following the herd… and they might not even currently drive a coupé. “The typical buyer of a G37 Coupé will be a little younger than the four-door buyer, but no less discerning. He or she will be someone who appreciates quality but wants to make an even bolder statement,” says Jim Wright, Vice President, Infiniti Europe. “G37 Coupé buyer might be an existing coupé driver but is just as likely to own a sports estate or a compact SUV.” When he does step into a G37 Coupé, he’ll find the exterior styling is matched by a refined interior. And when he starts the engine, he will find a true performance car that delivers what it promises. Top speed is limited at 250 km/h (155 mph), while 0-100 km/h takes just 5.8 seconds (on M/T version). There are three versions of the G37 Coupé on offer – the well equipped G37 Coupé, the more luxurious GT version with leather upholstery, and the sport-oriented S version with 4-Wheel Active Steer system, a Viscous Limited Slip Differential (VLSD) and sports suspension settings among other changes. “The G37 Coupé takes the best attributes of the four-door and adds even more. It’s a car designed to appeal to the emotions, yet one which delivers on a practical level, too,” says Bastien Schupp, Marketing Director, Infiniti Europe. G37 Coupé in detail Exterior styling A long bonnet, short overhangs and dramatically raked roof line give the G37 Coupé a silhouette that sets it apart from rival products based more heavily on their saloon counterparts. Designed as a modern sports car without compromise, the G37 Coupé has elegant and sophisticated proportions allied to an expressive, curving shoulder-line to give a feeling of movement even when stationary. The shorter and lower roofline also helps accentuate the Coupé’s low centre of gravity and gives a clear indication that this is essentially a rear-wheel-drive car. Curving ‘character’ lines at the front of the car mimic the lines of the front wings and help give the Coupé a more athletic and aggressive stance, while the wave-style aluminium bonnet incorporates a natural power dome to accentuate the potency of what lies beneath. A special production process has been developed for installation of the headlights to ensure tight build tolerances and an exact fit into the complex front fascia. Thanks to its shorter body, the Coupé’s rear shoulder is even more muscular than the Sedan’s, while the integral rear lip spoiler is more pronounced. The jewel-like taillights feature LED lamps to reinforce the Coupé’s high-tech appeal. Interior environment The G37 Coupé provides a sporting cockpit environment for the driver and a luxuriously open space for its passengers. The dashboard and centre console, complete with seven-inch colour display, adopts Infiniti design DNA with a ‘double wave’ upper section linked to a central vertical spine for a feeling of solidity. Textured aluminium trim inserts can be found on the centre console, the instrument binnacle and the door panels. Its gracefully curved door trims have been inspired by traditional Japanese ceremonial swords, while the trim inserts are modelled on Japanese Washi handmade paper. Other signature Infiniti features are the elegant analogue clock on the dashboard and purple backlighting of instruments and controls. Thanks to its long wheelbase, there is room in the rear compartment for two adults with easy ingress and egress provided by the wide opening doors and the electric fold and slide front seats. The practicality and loading capacity of G37 Coupé is further improved by the folding rear seats Engine and powertrain Infiniti’s latest 3.7-litre V6 is a potent, high revving, 24-valve twin cam unit producing 235 kW at 7,000 rpm (320 PS) and an impressive 360 Nm of torque at 5,200 rpm. Constructed from lightweight aluminium, the engine features a two-part bed-plate construction which is more rigid than a single piece casting for reduced vibration levels. It also permits sustained use at higher revs: the V6 is red-lined at 7,500rpm. The VQ37 unit features VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology to optimise efficiency and, in turn, the balance between power, response, fuel efficiency and emissions. By continually altering valve lift and therefore the quantity of air in the combustion chamber it provides a more powerful combustion phase to increase torque and power. Best of all, as the valves control the intake rather than a conventional butterfly, response to throttle inputs is immediate. VVEL improves fuel economy and lowers emissions compared to standard valve lift systems Precise mapping of the ECU, meanwhile, helps the engine provide a progressive ‘swell’ of power and torque, providing a ‘building wave’ of acceleration rather than a peaky power delivery. It delivers a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) with 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) taking 5.8 seconds (on M/T version). Fuel economy over the combined cycle is 10.5 l/100kms (26.9 mpg) while the Coupé has a CO2 figure of 249 g/km. The engine is fully compliant with Euro 5 emission level requirements. In keeping with the performance profile of the Coupé, Infiniti engineers have developed a special aural soundtrack for the car. Equal length tubular exhaust manifolds and a symmetrical exhaust and silencer system have allowed the engineers to create a linear sound with a good balance between low and high frequency notes. As well as a smooth shifting six-speed manual transmission, the G37 Coupé is available with a new seven-speed automatic option with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) and magnesium paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel. Chassis and driving dynamics G37 Coupé uses the second-generation version of Infiniti’s FM platform. The ‘front midship’ engine location sees the compact V6 mounted in the front of the car, but as low and as far back as possible, with most of the block behind the front axle line. The result lowers the centre of gravity and helps to deliver the optimum front to rear weight distribution. The fully independent suspension uses lightweight aluminium components to reduce weight as much as possible. A double wishbone set up at the front and a subframe-mounted multi-link arrangement at the rear allied to an extremely rigid body shell, gives the G37 Coupé agile handling perfectly in keeping with its performance potential. All versions of G37 Coupé come with Electronic Stability Program (ESP), while the power-assisted four-wheel vented disc brakes have a four-channel, four-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) as standard. To enhance the braking feel, the G37 Coupé uses a ‘link-design’ pedal which becomes progressively firmer as g-forces and vehicle speed increases. As a result, the driver has a more direct sensation of the forces acting on the car as he brakes from high speed, as well as the benefit of increased assistance. At lower speeds the brake is easier to operate but with more travel relative to assistance. The power steering system is a vehicle-speed-sensing type with a twin-orifice structure, which provides optimum steering effort at both high and low vehicle speeds. The sports oriented G37S version has a number of chassis changes in keeping with its sharper profile. The principal enhancement is the addition of the 4-Wheel Active Steer (4WAS) system which helps improve handling performance still further by varying the front steering ratio and adjusting the geometry of the rear suspension according to steering input and vehicle speed. Other standard features of the G37S include a Viscous Limited Slip Differential, recalibrated suspension settings and an enhanced braking system with four piston front brakes and two piston rears. Standard and optional equipment G37 Coupé has a full complement of user friendly – and above all, useful – standard equipment, plus options for those who want to make even more of a statement. Standard features include the intelligent I-key with smart access and push button starter, a six-disc, seven-speaker audio system with an RCA AUX-in jack socket for MP3 players. Bluetooth phone connectivity and cruise control with speed limiter can all be operated via switches on the leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel. Other standard features include power seats (with eight way adjustment on the driver’s side and four way for the passenger), aluminium pedals and footrest, auto-dimming rear view mirror, front and rear parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, 18-inch alloy wheels, six airbags and integrated fog lamps. For the perfect driving position, the binnacle is attached not to the dashboard but to the steering column itself, and moves with the wheel when the latter is adjusted for reach and rake. The Adaptive Front-light System (AFS) and “Scratch Shield” paint are also standard. Bi-Xenon headlamps are linked to steering inputs and automatically follow the path of the front wheels to provide a wide spread of light around corners and on winding roads. “Scratch Shield” paint incorporates a special highly elastic resin within the conventional clearcoat to increase the paint’s flexibility. A car painted with “Scratch Shield” paint can exhibit up to five times fewer scratches that a conventional clearcoat when exposed to the same conditions. The G37 GT version adds extra comfort with leather upholstery, a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support and memory and an 8-way powered passenger front seat. Heated front seats are also standard and the I-key incorporates memory positions for driver’s seat, steering wheel column and door mirrors. In addition to its chassis and dynamic changes, the G37S adds a sports seat with manual thigh extension for the driver. The seats themselves are upholstered with leather as well as heated and have 14-way power adjustment (driver) and 8-way power adjustment (passenger). There’s a tyre pressure monitoring system as standard, plus 19-inch alloy sports wheels. The major option is the new seven-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and magnesium paddle shifters, enabling drivers to shift the transmission without releasing their hands from the steering wheel. With its additional forward gear, the new automatic transmission has a wider spread of ratios which benefits both fuel consumption and drivability. The seventh speed is effectively an overdrive ratio, returning improved fuel economy on a steady throttle without compromising in-gear flexibility for overtaking. Shift points are tuned to keep the engine in the largest part of the torque curve, ensuring there is always a healthy reserve when the driver wants to overtake. The linked Adaptive Shift Control (ASC) system switches between three different programs depending on input from the major control systems throughout the car. Other options include Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) which uses brake, throttle and laser sensors to help maintain a set distance between the G37 Coupé and the car in front. In automatic transmission versions, the software reduces driver’s workload even more allowing ICC to work from 0km/h to 180 km/h thanks to the “Full Speed Range” feature. An integral part of the ICC option for A/T models, the Intelligent Brake Assist system analyses closing speeds to a vehicle ahead helping reduce damage caused by a rear-end collision. If the driver must take immediate action to avoid a collision, the system sounds a warning to prompt driver action or can even activate the brakes to decelerate the vehicle. A custom-engineered Bose® sound system sets a new standard for stereo performance in a car. Its 11 high-performance speakers provide crisp musical detail, with impactful low notes bringing G Coupé owners closer to the power and emotion of a live concert performance. To achieve this, Bose® engineers used proprietary digital signal processing and multiple channels of custom equalization to help tune the sound specifically for the vehicle. The Bose® sound system is available as part of a Multimedia pack with also incorporates a DVD navigation system with voice recognition and a rear-view parking camera. Final options include an electric glass sunroof, metallic paint and a temporary spare wheel (replacing standard tyre repair kit), while a subtle African Rosewood trim interior is available on the G37 GT. Safety High levels of passive safety were a priority at the design stage. As a result, the G37 Coupé has a full complement of six airbags, with dual-stage front airbags, seat belt sensors and passenger seat occupancy sensor. The front seats incorporate hip and thorax bags, while there are front-to-rear curtain airbags for protection in a side impact. Also standard is a pop-up bonnet, designed to offer greater crash protection for pedestrians. In the event of a collision, a small pyrotechnic charge raises the trailing edge of the bonnet close the lower edge of the windscreen. This creates a larger buffer between the bonnet and the top of the engine, providing a more yielding surface which in turn helps to reduce potential injuries. Quality Infiniti is synonymous with vehicle quality, and that’s something that doesn’t happen by accident. On the Tochigi production line in Japan every vehicle – not just every tenth – is laser scanned to ensure that panel gaps are within prescribed limits. During the design and development phase, new models are exhaustively tested not just at Infiniti’s Hokkaido proving ground but also at the Tochigi and Motegi test and race complexes in Japan. Infiniti also has a vast 12.34 million square metre hot weather testing base in Arizona. Testing every Infiniti in the harshest of conditions and over thousands and thousands of kilometres ensures the durability and peace of mind that buyers can expect from the products. Conclusion On looks alone, the G37 Coupé is a winner. But when those looks are added to a sophisticated rear-wheel drive sports chassis and a class leading V6 engine, the combination is electric. Lavish equipment levels, exceptional performance and an ideal blend of ride comfort and handling dynamics lift the stylish Infiniti to the top of the premium sector. “G37 Coupé is built to Infiniti’s exacting standards and enjoys excellent dynamic qualities, equipment levels and refinement. Thanks to its own distinctive style it will offer a genuine and exciting alternative in the segment,” says Nicolas Tschann, Product Marketing Manager, Infiniti Europe.

Please look at past topic on this, someone do have the solution to it. It has been discussed many times here already.

Hi V35driver, How much did you buy the DBA 4000 rotors for? And where can I get them? I'm thinking of upgrading too, but I have the Brembo's calipers. EL

Hi Just to share my point of view. As you all know, CVT(Continuously Variable Transmisson) box have no gears in it. The Jap box usually use a belt to run on the 'virtual' 8 gears. I know there is quite a few porblem with the CVT box from Honda. The CVT box is design for city use and not for hard acceleration. The CVT in AUDI's cars (Muliti-tronic) are different too, they do use a series of gears but they are chain driven. From the description of the problem when driving above 100km/h, I believe the belt will tend to slip. That why if you keep pushing, it will just slip more. I think it's best to let someone to look into it for you. And BTW, they do have a Torque Convertor in a Nissan.
