I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

How much have you lowered? I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36. I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

I tried a few years ago for my 2015 Q50, called the Australian Infiniti 'help line', they said any Nissan dealer can help, I called my local nissan dealer and they just flatly refused to have anything to do with any Infiniti model, claiming they couldn't even order parts for them. If you have a Nissan dealer in your area who used to be an Infiniti dealer, you might have more luck, I don't have any where I live. If you do have any luck, let us know! There is some very dodgy looking web page that claims to sell current Australian maps for Infiniti vehicles, but I don't know anyone who has been brave enough to try them. Infiniti sold vehicles here until 2021/22, but the newest build date they imported was 2019, after that, they were just selling stock.

You might want to update the thread title. V37 ≠ V36. And it probably isn't a G37 unless it is 2012+ Ininiti or LHD.

The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age. Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

You could probably just go with the genuine Nissan pads, they are not really the expensive, I can't say how they compare to your 350GT pads but at least they will give decent performance. Shims are probably the reason for the squeal. When I bought my Q50 which runs the same Akebono brakes, the previous owner had some weird pads fitted and it squealed and dusted like crazy, I bought genuine pads and when I put them in, I found all the shims missing. With the factory pads, the dusting is much better, performance is fine, but it still squeals when cold. A bit of grease on the back of the pads and mounting points gets rid of it, but it comes back after a while. I have bought a genuine shim kit that I need to install when I get around to it, hopefully that will fix the squeal.

Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input? The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system. With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system. I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs? I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system. That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?

No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU. You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA. That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well. I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while. A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one. Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import. This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.

There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.

But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim.. according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay. I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..

98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON. 91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number. Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON. I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years. I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway. Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it. At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.

I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup. Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
