Hey everybody,

I have spent the last hour searching and sifting through various discussions but I have been unable to find any useful info here or on Google about modding 370gt V36.

I imported myself a 2009 370gt sedan a little over a year ago and I am getting curious about possibly putting in an exhaust and doing an ECU flash.

Has anybody else done this yet? If so what sort of power gains did you get?

Also, what sort of care should I be giving to my auto gearbox? Is there a recommended service schedule?

Any good places in Sydney that can give my gearbox a checkup?

There's threads about V36 modding...you can always look up myg37 or g35driver under 07-08 g35s....same car, a little different engine, mods similar.

Most people use UpRev for ecu reflash.

As for exhaust, changing HFC is better than a cat back exhaust...

ConceptZperformance is a good site for parts.

If it's a VQ37VHR I have seen some people modify and put a R35 GTR intake and plenum on.

As soon as you start doing internals it gets very pricey.

I would ring MV Automatics and see what they can do for a valve body shift kit. Won't be as smooth but the shifts will be quicker.

I have dealt with MV Automatics and they are good, but i don't want to send my car to SA or have it off the road for a few weeks while the gearbox goes down there.

Not looking to mod the gearbox right now, just give it a checkup.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
