considering it actually. But not really a G37 for me. i had a V35 before which i loved. but considering a V / G is not really an out and out sports car and the wast majority of people used them with no modifications and as a daily or cruiser. i guess having the Australian Navigation, everything in English, warranty from Nissan "hick Infinity sorry" does sort of makes sense.

but if the existing V36's see a big drop in price - which i am guess they will "if not already - look at car sales", i don't mind a low KM, V36 Coupe SP for high $20's makes a lot of sense, considering it's basically same bloody car.

I personally hope they bring the 3Lt Diesel model skyline cross over here, which i can market to my Mrs as a family car.

Word is that the G37 will be around the $100k mark on the road here new .... so I can't imagine any forum members on here being stupid enough/have the cash to shell out $100k, vs being able to buy plenty of Jp import ones about the place for $30k-$40k with nominal km on them.

I love my V35, and i'm personally not a fan of the name Infiniti it just doesn't sound anywhere near as good as Nissan Skyline 350GT..

Unlikely. Your average businessman/middle age guy (who can afford a $100k car) does not want to have non-English buttons and not have full use of the stereo/Nav equipment. Also Nissan generally speaking won't touch imported V36s (and this is likely to become more pronounced one they actually sell them here). So in reality they still will be a very niche market. Plus their price is linked to the cost in Japan - so they will not suddenly go up in price, when people can keep bringing them in cheaper.

100k for the G37? I think Infiniti will have a hard time selling them here. Considering the 370z is only about 65k and when people start to find out Nissan is actually behind the brand..

maybe the next gen series depending if they turn out to be reliable, but Infiniti Aus will be trying to flog off old spec infinitis here for a few years that have already been available in overseas markets for the last 4 years, no thanks

I hope they come to their senses & make the manual gearbox an option

I BET will we not be able to import V36 soon, because we'll be able to buy an Australian G37 here. And they will kick up a stink about imports stealling there market.

^^ Nope - as long as a car isn't sold here in that year, you can import same models. But yes, as of 2013 we won't be able to bring in any more V36s if they do end up selling the G37 here.

It is just like you can bring in 1992 & 1993 R32GTRs from Japan, but you couldn't bring in and comply 1991 models (until they came under the 15/20 year old rule) as they were sold here in homologation for the touring car series.

Similarly there are early 2000 years of FD RX7s and Mitsi Evos that were sold here, so are ineligible to grey import (until they come under the 15/20 year rule)

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
