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. jones.phildo@gmail.com

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.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
