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)

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
