this post will be the unofficial chart of comparison between Japanese Nissan and American Infiniti models. to be used as a reference when tyring to buy US parts to suit your JDM vehicle and vice versa.

i'll start some basics, if other people can add info that would be great. Pics would be good but are only relevant for cars that havent had people modify them at home

obviously it will be impossible to make this perfect as the level of mechanical/electrical options make things a bit harder. this mostly just applies to external parts. it will be easy to get carried away with details, not sure how detailed we want this to be..

and i'm not entirely sure ive got my starting details correct so feel free to fix anything.

as people correct the information, we'll just get the Moderators to apply it to this post.

FYI:

2001/10-2003/11 - sedan V1

2003/11- /2004/05 sedan v1.5 ( radio and some electronics differ.)

2004/05-2006/11 sedan v2 and v3 (V3 got hardware changes on the Navi)

Thanks chris. good to know its not going to be a simple exercise....

Howait - I think we're only going to cover standard fitment. Anything that involves converting a car to another shape should go in a different thread. feel free to start that if you feel like it

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
