Hi all looking for some insight into the emblems for my 370gt. Was wondering if the US G37 Infiniti Emblem should be compatible with the JDM 370GT front grille? Was told they would fit but once i got it, there has been a lot of resistance just to place the emblem in place, but it would not clip in at all. Has anyone else had any luck? maybe im doing it wrong? the Original Nissan emblem fits perfect, no resistance and just pops into place. It fills like to me that they are not interchangeable.

Any input is appreciated, especially with photos!

Thanks

They are not interchangeable - the Nissan and Inifniti badges are different sizes. Even on V35s you have to buy a different front grille in order to fit the G35 badging.

Are you sure about that? Because i placed an order for this:

Was under the impression that they should fit on our V35 given from what i was told.

^^^ so seriously, the OP has said he fell for some idiot telling him that an Infiniti badge will direct fit a V35 (like you have), he has it in his hand and sure enough it won't fit, and you want to dispute it?

God damn it, i was told it would fit too.....order was shipped 4 days ago. Too late now i suppose.

If you are handy with a dremel you might make it fit :)

And Seano you CAN'T road register a G35 (unless you are talking the convertible V36 version out of Europe). And when Infiniti start selling cars in Aus shortly you will see lots of people putting Infiniti badging on their V35s ..... once people start considering Infiniti to be a premium brand, people will respect it more. A lot like people putting Lexus badging on their Soarers.

Actually, I just found out from the seller that the one I purchased was not for a G37 Coupe but for a G37 sedan and apparently they have different grilles. So there might still be hope yet, just emailed an infiniti dealer in the states to confirm.

It will as long as you match the body type. That is, be sure to get the coupe badge or the sedan badge. I've got the 2009 370GT coupe and I made sure that the grille emblem I got was the badge for a 2010 G37 coupe, as that's the equivalent model. Mine clipped straight on, no problem. The only thing I needed to do though was to get out the polish and rub away some of the baked in dirt that was trapped behind the Nissan Hamburger, which is a little wider than the Infiniti Mt Fuji.

[Edit]: I should've read the rest of the thread. Seems you've already been told the same reason. :)

For what it's worth, here's the one I bought and it was from the same seller: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-INFINITI-G37-COUPE-2DR-FRONT-GRILLE-EMBLEM-CHROME-/280951353466?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item416a01707a

I'll dispute it, from experience but only on a V36. I don't know about a V35 though given the OP was talking about a 370GT which would make it a V36. :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
