Hi I'm looking at importing a V36 370GT and I'd like to know if these come with factory cruise control. With infiniti they have the intelligent cruise control that sense cars in front and maintain a safe distance away. Is this type of cruise control an option in Japan? how about the standard cruise control - is it factory standard?

I know V35 does not have factory cruise control.

Has anyone imported a V36 with factory cruise control?

Talking to my agent, cruise control was only available as an option on the later v36s. Even then they are very rare so expect to pay a double premium. Surprising for this class of car to not have something as simple as cruise especially since the American version has it.

Chris Rogers Audio Express Brisbane put an aftermarket Cruise Control in my newly imported V36. He used the Factory buttons and display lights so it appears exactly as a factory installed model. This is a non-adaptive cruise unit that does exactly what YOU request.

In the US the adaptive cruise is the most under used option installed in the V37 Infinitis (they also have a 'standard' cruise fitted which is what people use instead). I think cruise is only available there if you pick the Navigation Option as well and this make it a quite expensive add-on for something thats hardly used. It could be the same in Japan, I suppose? When I was looking for my V36 over 6 months you hardly ever saw a car with cruise.

Chis Rogers did a fantastic job and I highly recommend him if you want Cruise fitted to your V36.

not shown is the yellow cruise indicator above the middle orange display. I have already made a revision to this unit where yellow = cruise on - green = set.

as for costs $1K + . unit is CAN based and the fiddling I did to get the light in the dash took a fiar bit of time to do. its NOT a end user kit. I can supply it to a few shops around the country but do not expect the price to be any less.

peter supplied the buttons so his costs were less and his was also done at a serious discount for donating the car as a mule. (thanks for that!!)

the 260KM speedo was peter's request. I modded that one.

questions - ask.

Chris, will the CAN interface you developed work with any brand cruise? I have cruise but not using the steering wheel switches yet.

Oh, and is thre speedo a US unit?

locally - Autostrada - 07-3852-6886

as for doing the OE controls - depends if someone in brisbane stocks them.
I no longer live in Oz and no longer work on these unfortunately. NOW if you want to import a full steering wheel with the controls on it then it can certainly be done by the people I listed above.

Thank you chris!

We have a OEM Steering wheel with the controls. i assume we have to get other parts though. Cant find any cruise control part numbers or boxes for it etc. Surely you dont just buy the steering wheel and it works haha.

you do need other parts. call the number I gave you and tell them you want them to install a cruise control for this car. tell them you have OE controls and need them installed as well.

 

this IS NOT a DIY job.

      I would be cautious with those 2000/2200 CNG injectors, swap them out for a set of 1550 aka 1650 Bosch stainless ones before you take out a motor.

      Problem with 5th after manual swap on R32 GTS4

      By TheOrangeSkittle · Posted

      I tested them all a couple times, haven't tested it warm or wet though. The only seemingly really weird thing was the cylinders plug closest to the dash was pitch black nearly.  Doesn't smoke out of the exhaust or anything.    Also sorry everyone for the very late response. Got busy with work and all and didn't get around to fooling with the car for awhile.  But an update! I figured out the cause of the lean condition, my intercooler had at some point exploded or something. It's clearly separated in a spot with black oily buildup around the leak, and multiple leaks in various vacuum lines. I've replaced it and the vacuum lines, and gotten new clamps and there are 0 leaks now after doing a couple smoke tests.   The car now runs significantly better and the exhaust doesn't overheat anymore. I still have the main problem though where the engine feels like I'm lugging it around sub 3500rpm in any gear besides 1st, 2nd It's less noticeable but 3rd anything under 3.5k and I need to downshift or the engine is clearly struggling when trying to accelerate at all, 4th is the exact same, sub 3.5k engine won't accelerate and its hard to bring it back up to speed, 5th gear doesn't feel like the car is going to straight up fall apart now but it still can't pull 5th. It slowly loses speed and rpm and ANY gas I give I can feel the shakes from the engine and it slowly dying. If I ever so lightly give it gas it will slowly and nicely decel till around 2k rpm instead of lugging. But it cannot accelerate at all or maintain speed.   If I go from first gear at 5 or 6krpm and then shift to second it also feels like it's struggling to make power till above 3krpm if trying to accelerate but I can cruise around parking lots at around 1-2krpm just fine in 2nd. It's just when accelerating hard it and changing gear you really notice it die down.  But even if you shift at way lower rpms it does the same thing till somewhere above 3k.  As far as I'm aware it's got r32 gtr transmission gear ratios with gts4 diffs. The tire size is 205/55r16 91h Above 3500rpm the car pulls and runs and drives quite normally and the power from engine sounds and feels very smooth.  It's perfectly driveable at above 3.5krpm but I drive on the highway alot for work and it gets really bad gas mileage in 4th at 4.4krpm. Not that I'm looking for great gas mileage with such a car, just I'm sure being at around 3krpm would be significantly better for it.    Have appreciated all your guys help. I do understand the engine may just be f**ked from running with a boost leak though.    One final thing I'd like to add is I'm only shifting so high in the rpm range is because if I don't I will feel the engine lugging bad with 0 power in lower rpms, pretty much anytime off boost trying to accelerate it feels really bad.  Also when I say 3500 rpm I don't mean exactly. Just around there.
