?? How can tyre profile allow for larger brakes?? that is all Rim size...

Agreed. if the 250 and 300 aren't OBDII compatable, this isn't likely to work. You will need a real consult2 device or a good clone. You would have more luck with the VQ35 ECU though.. I have the Blatz cable with nissandatascan, and it lets me do this procedure.

True.. it can be difficult to do with the manual mode. I managed to do it on my VQ35 with a non-functioning CEL.. which added to the challenge.. took me about 20 tries to get it. You need to do the throttle pedal position learn and the throttle closed position learn first, but they are fairly simple in comparison. It will also only work with an engine temperature within a certain range too. In the VQ35, rpm peaked up to about 1,200rpm, then dipped to about 450rpm, and settled out at 650. I was also forced to do the re-learn after high idle problems, post throttle body clean.

wreckers?

probably needs an idle air volume re-learn.. assuming the VQ30 has this opiton like the VQ35 does.

. And the rest...

You would struggle to find RHD headlights from a USA supplier..

I wonder if these are the same as the Series 2/3 V35 front rotors? they are also twin piston 320mm. Which are the same as the 05+ 350z brakes.

if you have a V35 250GT, you have a VQ25 engine..

It was probably the clean that did that. No way EGR causes that sort of impact on fuel economy.

http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/infiniti-g35-g37-factory-service-manuals.html click on the 2003 coupe, open the fwd.pdf file. the alignment specs are on the 2nd last page.

coupe or sedan? the settings are different.

stock alignment is only about 0.3deg neg camber on the front from memory. If it is lowered on stock suspension components, it will blow out. My sedan is on 350z springs which drops it about 25mm, and I have about -1.5deg on the fronts with stock components. it can be difficult to dial out much neg camber on the front with lowered springs with aftermaret control arms, as the top control arm will hit the guard if it is moved too far out. If you have stock springs and stock ride height, then something is wrong, either someone has fitted aftermarket upper control arms and dialled in the negative camber, or something is damaged. As for the steering not 'snapping straight', it is normal for a FWD to pull back to straight under acceleration, you won't get this on a RWD to the same extent.

Mechanics are good at lines like that to stop you questioning them.. clock springs aren't a big issue in general for all cars. my J30 maxima was 18 years old when it died and it never had clock spring problems. and plenty of 10+ year old cars with seatbelt pre-tensioners that aren't having issues either. I know the seat base harness is a common source of SRS faults on the V35.

You don't need a crossover.. we used my wife's old corolla sedan until our 2 kids were 2 and 4. the only time space was a problem was holidays when you needed to carry portacots, prams, as well as luggage. We upgraded to a J31 maxima for this reason alone and space hasn't been a problem since. A V35 sedan would also be fine. a coupe might make it awkward to get kids into baby seats in the rear while they are still too small to climb in on their own.

There is normally only a mm or so between the edge of the rotor and the edge of the area swept by the pad, so 10mm will be a problem.. I know first hand what you get if you put series1 V35 rear rotors on a series 2!. and there is a 16mm size diameter difference on the rear (24mm on the fronts) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/427462-2005-sedan-rear-brake-rotor-size/?hl=%2Bsedan+%2Brear+%2Bbrake+%2Brotor#entry6966153

Do you mean on the V35.. No.. they are a smaller diameter, so the pads will overhang then edge of the rotor.. No idea with the V36.

that sounds similar to what many brake places say about the V35 brakes.. 'one size fits all for non-bremo brakes'.. but that is also incorrect.. Series 2 and 3 brakes are larger than series 1, both front and rear.

You might need a consult3 or a decent clone to read the TCU codes.. my nissan datascan adaptor won't read the TCU in my wife's J31 maxima.. so I would assume it wouldn't read the TCU in V35 either.

If the Rotors are at or close to their minimum thickness, you won't be able to get them machined, unless you happen to know someone who will do an 'under the table' job. If the rotors are still above minimum thickness and are in good shape, just get new pads for now. I think the cruise limit is a factory set limit, not sure if there is any easy way to defeat this without replacing it with an aftermarket cruise control. Chris Rogers will be able to answer that for you though.

When I say 'jumper' they are actually a soldered surface mount resistor which needs to be moved, very hard to find if you don't know where to look. again that is for the V35 HU, not sure about the V36.

If it is the same as the V35 unit, it is just a jumper in the unit, the unit is otherwise the same, with the exception of a larger/fanned heatsink on the output stage IC, obviously due to the extra heat generated by driving speakers instead of just an amp input. I am using a V35 'Bose' HU on my non-bose system, but I swapped the heatsink/fan from my old non-bose HU.

http://www.cvt.co.nz/ An exchange transmission might end up being the easiest option. Also, I wouldn't pay to much attention to reports of a colapsed bearing in a Micra CVT as a possible cause of yours.. they are 2 very very different transmissions.

If you are worried about power figures. go with the Q50 hybrid.
