  1. Long time reader, first time poster…. A quick question to those in the know who can maybe help me understand a bit more about the Skyline V36 I have just imported. It’s a 08 Skyline V36 370GT Sports from Japan and I love it. The only thing I hate about it is the fact that the AV System is all in Japanese, as is the information on the dash behind the steering wheel. As the model I have imported is very similar to the Infiniti G37 Coupe (sold and delivered in the US), I wonder is it possible to replace the headunit AV system with one that I can source from the US. Obviously the US one would all be in English and this would be much nicer to look at and work with. I am just wondering if all the harnesses etc will plug into the back nice and easy or if its going to be a lot of work for no guaranteed result. I understand the navigation will still not work (No Australian Maps) but I still want the AUX input to work, as well as CD/DVD and Cameras and wonder if the FM Radio will work also. My import has Music Box feature (which is pretty cool) but it too needs to be in English. Does anyone know if the G37 has this feature in its AV system, and if it would be present if I did the conversion. Has anyone out there attempted this, and if they have, did you simply get the parts required or did you bring in a halfcut and go from there. I am hoping it will be as much plug and play as possible, however being similar cars and not the same I am unsure. The parts I think I would need is obviously the G37 Navigation Radio unit (or maybe another part seems I don’t want the nav because it wont work), as well as the Control Panel with Bezel (as buttons and layout are different) and maybe a Display from a G37 so the setup is the same as a Infinity G37. Not sure about Amp etc. – that’s why I am hoping someone has had a crack at this and can give me some insight and help as to what is required, if it is indeed possible. Will the V36 plugs and harnesses go into the back of Infiniti parts, will it make everything English? AV System (Infiniti Reference: 25915P) Control Panel (Infiniti Reference: 28395Q) Display Unit (Infiniti Reference: 28091) G37 AV Parts Diagram http://parts.infinitiusa.com/infinitiParts/index.cfm?bodyColor=&trimColor=&BODY=C&ENGINE=VQ37VHR&DRIVE=2WD%2F4WAS&GRADE=SPORT&TRANS=5AT&action=replacement&groupid=E&sectionid=280&partcode=&jointvehid=7516&makeid=14&siteid=216578&illust_seq=01 Can anyone out there tell me if I am on to something or if it is just plain impossible? Looking forward to replies, hopefully with good news Thanks, Luke.
