my car came with the factory jdm spec potenzas, so guess it depends on the compliancer?
no need to get tyres from the states fellas, buying tyres isn't a big problem if you know what you're looking for
wouldn't buy tyres unless I can see them first anyway, just find a tyre shop you trust
I have the 19" sport stockies & wanted to stay within factory spec,
so I run a 235/40/19 on the front which will still give an accurate speedo reading
running 245/40/19 on the rears
you can run a wider tyre on these wheels if you want, just google search a tyre size calculator so you stay within spec
===================================
about mods I have a grounding kit, lowered springs,exhaust & eibach pro swaybars
grounding kit actually made the auto feel smoother to shift (useless if you buy a manual as the difference felt is in the auto gearchange response), small but noticable improvement to response
lowered springs were for getting rid of large front wheel gap, Pain in the ass for getting around sydney but not too bad if you angle your entry
swaybars are the best investment I made, improved the handling 100%
exhaust was just for the sound, not much of a performance improvement as the base level performance is good anyway
shied away from getting intakes etc as my car is a daily driver & don't want to go crazy, besides supposed to be saving up for other things
Hey YoYo,
Where did you get your springs and sway bars from. I really really want.
I live in Sydney
Any help cheers

Dont want to be rude, Grats on the workmanship, however is a bit westy looking for me. The car already has so much character. Good job with the fitment and paint though.

Hi Chris
I have the USDM with Navi that I can chuck your way if you want to pull it down. PM me an address and I will box it up and send it your way. I have been to plenty of people in Syd and they just had no idea. Expensive mistake on my part. however will chuck it your way for research purposes.
I am currently looking for a J32 Maxima TI to rip the navi system out of and get that fitted I will use the current face panel with the US navi buttons so no fabricating is needed. I have been told that this has been done and works very well. the guy that did this before site details are below.

He said he can buy the parts from Nissan for $10G however if I find a wrecker with the maxima that price will come down to around $3/4 which I am ok with.
Talk soon

I get mine done at Ultra Tune Lidcombe on Parramatta road. Ask for Mark.
He has the same software as Nissan to check your engine management. He also made and fitted my grounding kit in a matter of hours.
Lot cheaper than Nissan. I used to go to Randwick Nissan (now City Nissan) Never go there!!!!!!! they broke one of my Paddle shifters.

I have a V36 Coupe, I would say to be real that its a good match for an SS or XR6T but its not in the HSV/B6 league. How ever it has better brakes is better equipped, handles better and has chick pulling ability well beyond the local Holden Ford models. Also its nice to drive something a little different from every other streeter, in a 200sx or 318I with stupid wheels bigger than the car.
-
Hey Scarf, This is for the V36 Sat Nav. Talk to Chris Rogers as I believe there is already a fix for the V35. Hope you enjoy your new toy.

Hey all, No progress on the JDM/USDM conversion as yet. I am still over seas and have put my car up for sale. If there is anyone on here that would like to purchase the car, check it out on car sales. It will be sold with the USDM setup (unfitted) but is all there ready to go. I think when I get back I will be purchasing and R35
Cheers and sorry I couldnt add to the thread.

Jacob, are you going to be selling your 22's?
im just in the process of looking for a set.
~Cobey
Hi all sorry for the late reply, The 18s are still up for sale. However the 22s stay I am selling the car and the buyer wants them. Please PM me about the 18s and I will put you in touch with my Girlfriend. I have moved over seas hence the sale of the car.
-
I hope you got all of the wiring with it. the jdm is quite different.
Hey Chris
I was hoping that maybe you could be the one to help me out with the fitment and getting the whole setup running. I actual bought a whole dash cut and got it shipped. even came with the little infiniti clock.
Anyway let me know if you are willing to give it a go. I will be drinving to Bris in the holidays (Nov/Dec) to see family. If you would like to give it a go I can drop it at you shop and leave it there for a week or so.
Get back to me

Hey guys I know this is maybe not the correct area for it but I am actually looking for the Stock V36 19s would be willing to swap the 22s for them.
-
Also Loz if you still have the stock wheels and those springs/Suspension parts lying around, are you keen to sell them. As you can see from my Pic I am in need of a little lowering.
-
Hey guys, I have purchased the whole USDM setup from Canada, for the English translation. Need to find someone that knows about these cars so I can get it put in. Any help with someone that can fit the system in Syd would be a great help.

-
No rubbing at all its sweet, Just want the 19s cause they ride nicer if you want im keen to sell them. I have only had them since March and I have been over seas since April. The tread is Pirelli PZero, just want those 19s dam it.

I really would love to know how to delete all, My has Jap Xmas songs on it. Always good for a laugh but really want it gone

Hi all I have 22s on mine 2008 v36 SP. I am looking for anyone who has the Stock 19s as I sold mine to the shop when I got the 22s. I am interested in a swap for the 22s aswell, Just really want to 19s back.
If anyone is interested pls PM me and we can come to some sort of deal
Cheers
-
Hey Guys, I have 22s on mine not lowered, still looks sweet rides ruff though. I am wondering if you still have your original 19s? if so would you be interested in selling them. I want to go back to stock and made a huge mistake of trading them in when I got the 22s. If you wish I would even be interested in trading the 22s for you originals. I spent the cash and got Perelli P zeros tyres as well.
Hope we can come to some sort of deal.

Hey Guys, I am also new to the site. I have a 2007 V36 370GT Coupe and have had it now for a little over 18 months. I think I might have been one of the first in Aus to have one. Anyway I have taken the plunge and bought the whole in-dash set up from the States, the Jap voice was giving me the shits. I bought the screen, loom, all panels the button cluster, brain, and it even came with the little analog clock. (Infiniti decals and all). it was a little $$$ but hey I paid so much for the car already. I am looking for a a decent car tuning store that can set this all up for me in Syd. I realise to an extent I am the cop but I just want my car to work. I know the GPS will be US but I will deal with that later.
Any help would be appreciated. also if you see me around Syd, holla at me as I am a Brissy boy and I don't really know many people in the Syd car scene Pics on my profile
PS: Just a tip for anyone who wants to source the english buttons from the states and retro fit. The US buttons are all backwards, due to LHD [/size][/size]
