Doubt the release of the G37 here will have any impact at all on the V35 prices.. they are a different model and you can still get them for under $20 from Japan..

I think I have to agree with the comments on the SMH page.. the FX is kind of ugly.. but then again.. I can't say I have ever seen a SUV that I like.. they all look like sedans that have been on a mcdonalds binge..

the maxima will be replaced by the ultima which will also be the body used in V8 racing. Its pretty crap though cause the ultima available to the public will be front wheel drive like the maxima.

They should have used either the r35 or v36 sedan.

infiniti website just released prices for the sedans which will be from 90k to 105k

guess the coupe and convertible will be be north of that..

Lexus entry level IS range price range from 69k to 89k but the more similar spekd GS450 are from 94k to 132k

Then you have the Audi tt rs and TTS coupe has a 108k to 150k price tag but the you have the A5 coupe which when you look at it has very similar shaping and line to the 370 it has a price tag of 189k.

if i had those numbers to play with for 1 k less you could pick up a 012 r 35 mmm not sure what i would choose...

i thought a bit more competitive price would be needed cos the name has not got around yet i still get people asking me about the G i have the infiniti badging had one guy ask me if this is the car thats racing next...

The sedan is the M - larger and more luxury focused than the G. I think the OP was talking about the G series coupe and convertible.. there is no M coupe or convertible.

Also, it's the Altima they are using in the V8s, which is like a smaller version of the Maxima (not sure if Nissan is keeping both or ditching the Maxima). Still think it was dumb on Nissan to use a Altima in the V8 supercars, when you can't buy anything even remotely like it in a showroom.. at least with the commodores and falcons, you can buy a RWD V8 road going version.

They should have used the V37 (or new G37).. at least it is RWD and more performance oriented.

But then there would be no competition... <- Them be fighting words. Haha!

The M is sold as a V8 in the US, but not for the RHD markets like us - pity because it's a sexy car. The FX50 looks awesome in the metal too, would love to drop one a few inches and put a nice set of rims on it.

Not trying to be rude.. but I have to say I don't understand this concept.. why buy a high clearance softroader and lower it? doesn't that defeat the purpose of an SUV?

Go the Infiniti Australian website at: http://www.infiniticars.com.au

and you'll find amongst a whole load of stuff the following:

Future Infiniti models

Two additional models – the Infiniti G Coupé and matching G Convertible – will join the Australian range from December. Further details about these two exciting models will be issued closer to their date of release. Even more exciting models are scheduled to be added from next year.

Interestingly no mention of a G series sedan initially!

They will probably test the waters with the M, if they think there is a demand, they may bring the G sedan in. Still think they should have brought the M56 in though!.. (not that I would have bought one..) but it might have stopped the media saying the Altima V8 supercar has a patrol engine.. since the M56 has been using this engine for a while and the Patrol hasn't yet..

I was thinking the same thing about the M - there were also a few posts from punters on the infiniti blog page that made it past their blog police that highlight the significant price point differences for the same models in the USA and what is proposed for here

Nothing that hasn't already been mentioned on the Infiniti website but still worth a read !

Interesting.. they seem to think the M sedan is a 'mid-sized sedan', yet compare it to the BMW 5 series, which is hardly 'mid sized'. I would classify the G sedan as 'mid sized', but the M as 'large'

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
