Hey,

Did a bit of a look around and it seems that the convertible G37 is only available in the US, which means LHD.

I was wondering, would it be possible to import one out of the US and still use it as a LHD?

Converting it RHD would cost a pretty penny.

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on processes or thoughts on what to do.

Cheers,

Tony

Or wait up to 2 years and they will be selling it here, as long as the market is good for it and it will be sooner rather than later.

By the way they do make and sell Infinity g37's in Europe RHD.. So not to hard to get it here.

Some light reading for you confirming Infinity back to Australia. :(

and a topic i posted last year about it. Will be good to see them back but will be interested at what the price will be like.

Cool,

Cheers for the quick replies.

Yeah, the Lexus are pretty hot. Im just too cool for a Toyota. =P

Just curious to see if anyone had attempted something like that.

Ive been driving the missuses Saab Drop top recently and just a very different feeling driving a convertible.

But the V36 Coupe is a very sexy car and will be looking into getting one very soon, hopefully. =D

Cheers again guys!

what other european countries have RHD? apart from UK, I think everyone else is LHD

About half way down the page " And with the rollout of Infiniti into Europe – it was in late 2008 – that gives us the access obviously with right-hand drive, as well as the entire portfolio (of models) that we need."

Yep UK was the RHD target. But as they do allow RHD or LHD in all of Europe some people living in other parts may want RHD also.

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
