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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
