You've missed the point though. This is about rebranding the vehicle as an Infiniti, not a Nissan. Mine came with the Skyline mats but they're a little worn and I'd like to replace them with Infiniti mats instead.

Where did you get the engine cover? Struggling to find it.

Anyone know if we can get the Infiniti grille emblem for our cars? I know the Nissan ones can be taken off. Do the Infiniti ones fit the same, and where can we get one?

I'd say it'd just be a swap, try Ebay

Definitely eBay. Around $30 should do the trick from memory. The Infiniti badge is a little more elliptical in shape so there will be some of the grille that used to sit behind the Nissan hamburger that will then become exposed. This is all ok but you might find there's a buildup of dirt that will need a good wash and possible hand polish to basically make sure there aren't any unsightly marks when you replace it.

Not really cos if you trawled import monster you would find that there is infiniti branded and completely non branded stuff for the V36 (lots of non branded mats for instance). I don't get the whole rebranding thing, if you bought a Skyline for the resale value then you've pretty much missed the point IMO, but each to his own I guess. The only good thing from Infiniti arriving is the hope that my satnav can be upgraded.

^^ they might fit.. but you can be sure the markup the Australian dealers will put on them will be far more than the shipping costs from USA.

Yeah i'm guessing the dealers here will be more expensive. Might as well get them shipped. Do they fit well after i take the hamburger off though or do they look dodgy?

Ah, so they do have Infiniti branding eh? I'll trawl away then. Cheers. As for the whole rebadging thing, I've already explained myself before in this thread ... purely aesthetic. Nothing to do with resale value at all since I get attached to my vehicles. I wouldn't have bought this car if my J30 Maxima wasn't written off.

Have you read post #105 in this thread? Look up so I don't have to appear like a broken record.

Completely agree with you on resale value... There may be a small increase, but you wouldn't do all that work for the sole purpose of resale.

i know its not relevant in this case, but my thoughts would be:

id assume most of the population would see the exotic INFINITI as the proper brand since it is in the showroom, and see nissan as the asian imitator... and then get put off by seeing "boring old nissan" on the vin plates, relating it to a cheap copy of a good car. much like the old VR commodore/lexcen thing where people put commodore badges on the outside. it was still the same car but nobody wanted the lexcen

But also in saying that, the "old school" skyline and JDM obsessors will still know what it is and i'm sure when Infiniti goes on sale here in Oz the Sales people will be educated that they are in fact Nissans and will more than likely be told to explain this to customers

Ahh right sorry mate. There's quite a few online advertised for G37 and G35 sedan should they all be the same or do they differ?

Edit: i meant G35 and G37 Infiniti grille emblem

G35 has the 3.5L engine.. G37 has the 3.7L engine.. infiniti model numbers signify engine size.. not series.

G35 = 350GT

Based on the vehicle in your profile here, that's what you need to aim for. I'm not really sure if there are any differences with the grille emblems but it's best to play it safe.

Sorry Greg i should have been more clear. I was talking about the Infiniti grille emblem. Not sure if they were the same for the G35 and G37. I asked the seller if the G35 sedan Infiniti grille emblem was the same, he said he's not too sure.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
