the infiniti brand wasnt sold here offically with local software until 2012 - are you SURE its a local car you bought?

post pix of the panel and I will tell you.

video on the nav models is digital - it is NOT DVI or HDMI.

I'll upload some photos ASAP. Double checked with the breakers yard and the car was a damaged Infiniti Q60. They weren't sure about the year but said it was at least 2009 as it was 7 speed. They gauranteed it was an AU supplied vehicle.

So will the 2012 Infiniti Q60 set up work in an 09 Skyline?

Very interested to see how this all pans out... Lover the later hi-res screen and the USB inputs in the arm rest as well as posibility of AUS Nav.

Hey Chris,

I cannot see the pictures on the first post showing the difference of nav and non nav. I am looking at purchasing one. I am in NZ any info on the process is appreciated. Happy to pay for your time Chris. [email protected]

Have some photos of the cd/navi etc. I have the complete set of kit including wiring and touch-screen. Looking forward to fitting the system....Feel free to contact me Chris if you're interested in investigating this.

Has the Infiniti logo on the clock so that all looks correct as AUS new G37/Q60 based.

So I guess the AUS spec dash cluster would give all the dashboard messages in English as well?

Hope you can get it all installed without too many hassles.. Fingers crossed for you mate..

I'm impressed, Space-man. How much did you score those bits for?

The one thing that I recall from the FSM (and it's purely off memory) is that upon switching the head unit, you need to reprogram the BCM to accept it, which I'm guessing means one needs to use the Consult scan tool to achieve it. I'm not sure if this means that one would need the Immobiliser card to work alongside the scan tool but at any rate, if you do need to get your hands on one and happen to be in Sydney, I'm happy to help you out as I have the Consult 3+ unit. Granted, a Chinese knock-off, but it works every bit the same as the genuine product and I've had to recalibrate my steering angle sensor with it successfully, once upon a time.

thats later than 2009. 2009 was still analog video locally. that one is digital. that said it could very well be a EU spec car.

can you get the body harness for it still?

you are well and truly in with a shot if you can.

Another thing to keep in mind would be the steering wheel controls as some of the button functions may not match or not have the same order as the Japanese set up. Just a thought.

yes and no. SWC is the same it seems. I use USDM controls for the cruise kits I make. no issue there. now if we are talking center controls - yes those are mapped differently. I got caught on it and learned a $700 mistake the hard way.

are you local?

Hi guys and sorry about the long gaps between responses. Appreciate everyone's comments and assistance. I paid $750 all up inc postage from a breaker yard and still have the contact details. They may still have the car and could possibly get the body harness...although they wouldn't even take the badges off it for me. They were only interested in selling the BIG bits.

Chris. I'm on The Gold Coast and travel to work most days to Brisbane (on the train).

yep it is - NON NAVIGATION and ANALOG VIDEO. so this DOES NOT apply to the nav cars as they are digital video and a wee bit different to the base model.

got busy. I did get a chance to look a J60 here in brisbane. looks VERY close.

see if you can get the body harness out of the donor car for your stuff.

Breakers yard won't pull the body harness for me. If anyone wants the contact details let me know. Maybe if you're close by you can go see them. I have all the connecting plugs and about 10cm of the cables so we can match them to the existing (hopefully). My guy isn't free for a couple of weeks yet so haven't attempted to fit it. I'll keep you posted.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
