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'

Agreed !!......

For a mod sized sedan, it's starting to get a little exxy however if they were to market it as a large sedan it would be damn cheap (comparatively speaking). I think to retain to classiness and exclusivity they are marketing it as a high value mid sized car.

'M' sedan is based off the FUGA, which is the Top of the Line sedan in the Nissan line-up, even for a second hand 2010 model you are looking upwards of 60K.

Sorry, wasn't trying to insult, just wanted to point out it isn't just 'based off', it 'is'. like some people say the Murano is 'based off' the Maxima, because it shares the same FF-L platform. Where as the Fuga and Infiniti M are the same car overall.

I mean, why would you bother? It won't increase the value of your car

When I got my V36 in a few months ago, the first thing I did was change the grille badge to an Infiniti without any consideration of what Nissan Australia had in store for us and definitely not thinking the crazy notion that it would add value to the vehicle. Anyone who thinks that simply rebadging their vehicle will add value is fooling himself.

The vehicle was already debadged when I bought it but had it still had the Nissan badges on the rear, I would have simply removed them as I much like the clean look of the rear.

OEM Infiniti door sill kick panels going in next and once they become available here, steering wheels and genuine Infiniti floor mats. Might be a bit of a wanky thing to do but it's purely an aesthetic thing for some of us. Of those, some people do it to show it off whereas I do it for me to admire my own vehicle. Each to their own I guess.

For me, I've just always liked the Infiniti arrow logo more than the Nissan hamburger logo. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Nissan man (well, after Chrysler - Challenger is my poison) but it's purely the look of the logo.

I guess it could be compared to the wankery of those with VE Commodores who whack Chevy badges on them but it's not like Chevy is a prestige brand. At least Infiniti has that going for them.

It's just that when it says Skyline, it seems more 'common.' When it's badged as Infiniti, it adds an allure of something different. Not expecting it to add value, but it would make marketing a tad easier.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
