  1. maybe silly question, but it isn't the window switch on the driver side? my Q50 has a switch to disable all windows except the driver window. guessing on the Q60, that would only be the passenger window.
  2. My local Nissan dealer cried and ran to mummy when I asked them if they can help with Infiniti parts/services. I called infiniti about map updates and they said 'any nissan dealer can help', but my local dealer just said 'nope, we can't help with infiniti parts as we can't order them'. I asked them if they can do a wheel alignment on a Q50 with DAS, and they freaked.. I am thinking of ordering my own Consult 3 plus clone to this sort of stuff myself. That said, I haven't had any real problems, the intouch system took ages to boot up once, but after the next restart it was fine. you might need to do the window relearn on the passenger window. does the auto up/down work from the drivers door switch?
  3. The factory gauge is set to show around about half way for a range of 'normal' temperatures, so it isn't likely to move between say 70deg and 110deg C, but 120 is getting rather hot, I would expect to see the gauge start to rise above the normal range. might be worth checking your new electronic gauge. maybe drop it in a pot of boiling water and confirm it reads around 100degC. If your car really is reaching 120degC, then you have an issue that needs to be investigated.
  4. Have looked at these sorts of conversions on the Q50 and on a few others, I still hold concerns about how well it really integrates. Having to hold down a button to switch to AA/AC is annoying enough, but will bluetooth audio, google maps/waze, etc, work seamlessly or will it need other 'workarounds'. But, hey, if you willing to give it a try, let me now how it goes!
  5. interesting, I know he has stopped importing most R series (non GT-R) skylines due to the lack of quality examples, I am kind of surprised there are any issues with the 370GTs.
  6. I would start by trying to track down the source of the raw fuel smell, is it under the bonnet, around the fuel tank or somewhere in between?
  7. It is a V36 sedan, which started mid 2006, the V36 coupe didn't come out until 2007. So anything that suits the V36 (2007+ G35) should be ok. just keep in mind the G35 is LHD, the V36 is RHD, all of the items you listed above should be fine, but if you start looking at headlights or headers, you can run into trouble.
  8. I bought this one for my 05 6MT about a year ago, but it doesn't really line up with either of the above sizes. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Radiator-Nissan-Skyline-V35-V6-Import-01-07-AT-MT-Rectangle-Fan-Mounts-Koyo-New/201083361747?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 you need to confirm the shape of the fan mounts, some are round, some are rectangle, you need to ensure you get the right radiator or you won't be able to mount up the fans.
  9. seems unlikely since it states it is made for a US 03-07 G35, which is a V35 chassis. When you say 'G37', I suspect you mean a V36 370GT? So I doubt it would fit.
  10. GL5 80W-90 oil for the diff. GL4 75W-85 for the transmission. I have used castrol oils before and have switched to readline oils for both, didn't notice any difference. Although I found the redline MT85, which is supposed to be made for this transmission was notchy and caused some grinding on fast gear changes into 6th. I changed that out for MT90 and that all went away. Factory LSD is a viscous unit, so doesn't need LSD specific oil.
  11. funny thing with badges, Americans find it 'cool' to put Nissan/Skyline badges on their Infinitis, here people like to put Infiniti badges on their V35/V36 Skylines. I don't think there was such a thing as a genuine RHD 2008 G37 anywhere.. could be wrong though..
  12. ^^ looks like they run the same brake setup as the series 2/3 V35, 05+ 350z Track and the later model Murano.
  13. I have Q50 AWD Hybrid. I don't have a good picture on me at the moment.. this is as good as I have..
  14. In that case, you would want the ATTESA E-TS Pro setup from the GT-R, not the normal E-TS from G37/Q50.
  15. What car? is it possibly the bonnet pop up component of the SRS system? does the warning light look like this?
  16. battery is in the boot isn't it? it will have active air cooling, the separate water cooling under the bonnet is for the electric motor and the inverter.
  17. That's weird, the Q50 Hybrid has direct adaptive steering, so it is all electric, same with the AC compressor (doesn't have any drive belts at the front), but has a normal timing chain driven water pump and crank driven oil pump. However it does have a completely independant coolant system for the inverter and motor which uses an electric pump, and the auto transmission does have an electric fluid pump so the transmission can still function when the engine isn't running, but it does have a conventional TX fluid pump which takes over once the engine is running. When it is running in EV, the engine isn't turning, so doesn't need oil pressure and coolant flow.
  18. the on/off switch doesn't look original, so who knows what it might be. the button look like it might be the mirror tilt down switch, my car as a similar button in that area that turns on/off the side mirror tilt down in reverse.
  19. epc data list different parts numbers, so I suspect they are different.
  20. Seems well up there considering I paid $22.5k for my 2015 Q50S Premium AWD Hybrid late last year. I know it is smaller than the Q70/Fuga/M35, but sounds like the features are similar.
  21. also V37 = Q50. Fuga = Q70.
  22. I think these have the same driveline as my Q50 Hybrid, they are a performance focused setup, not economy, so you won't get awesome city economy like some other hybrids. Engine runs on mine most of the time on the highway especially in 110 zones, sometimes switching to EV on slight declines, makes an awesome overtaking experience when you mash the throttle though. I am quite happy with performance in low 5s 0-100.
  23. I would be concerned about fitting anything after the fuel pump regulator, the ECU assume the fuel pressure at the pump is the same as at the rail in a returnless system, adding components between the 2 points could introduce a restriction and therefore a fuel pressure difference, which will cause issues.
  24. OP hasn't said Coupe or Sedan, makes a big difference, I have stock coupe 18s on my sedan and they sit flush all round
  25. I fitted 350z spring on the rear of my V35 sedan which dropped it about 25mm and was able to align it with the factory suspension, was near the limit though. Front is more difficult as lowering causes neg camber which you can't adjust out and most upper control arms only allow more neg camber, you can get offset lower control and compression rod bushings which can compensate a little.
