Sorry long thread title. Only owned this car a few weeks and still figuring out this nav unit.

Can someone confirm if the 370gt has the reverse beeping proximity thingy ? I know the g37 has it. Also I saw the auto folding rear view mirrors on some of the 370gt coupes I test drove. Is this an option ? Does anyone know if these are on the 370gt sedans aswell ? I can't seem to find either of these features on my sedan.

Another question, how do I look through the front camera and the camera on the driver side rear view mirror ? I can only see through the one on the passengers side by pressing the button on the top right of my ked pad cluster.

FYI its a 2008 sedan type S.

Hopefully those in the know can help out.

2008 sedan should be 350GT.

There is only one camera on the passenger side mirror, no front camera.

Folding mirrors are not auto, you need to press the button on the driver side door panel where the window switches are. Unless those that has the Tech pack auto folds....

You can look at your rear bumper....are there circle dots around the bumper? Should be 4-6 of them.....else you don't have any.

No the v36 sedan 350gt was 2006-2008 5speed. Sedan 370gt 2008 onwards in 7speed.

I don't see any dots on my rear bumper. Guess I don't have that option then.

Here is my front camera. Mounted dead centre in front of the grille. No idea how to access it, would be handy as I have to park super close to missus car on driveway sometimes.

370GT sedan was introduced in December 2008 as 2009 model year, so you are both correct....

Ah, the blind junction camera.... My 370gt sedan also has one. Turned on by a button next to my seat heaters..

My mirrors also fold on locking, controlled by a button under the steering column.

Car beeps in reverse, as all Japan domestic cars do, but no sensors. However there is the camera with the prediction lines that move with the steering...

This is good to hear. Although I don't know if I have heated seats or where the button would normally be for them lol. Can you tell me where the button is please ?

I will check under my steering column for any switches but I don't recall ever seeing anything under there.

This wont really help park up close as this is a split view intersection camera which helps when you are not able to clearly see both sides of traffic before entering an intersection. Wifes car has the same camera and yes its located just under gear shifter, it was a aftermarket dealer option not a factory one as factory ones are built into the front bumper bar. Mirrors will fold on locking the car if you got the extra security package which includes a small red light on the right side of the start/stop engine switch, a small button next to vdc/afs buttons which is to turn on/off mirror tilting while reversing and also small ultra sonic sensors somewhere on the corners of the front windows. If you have these features your mirrors should be folding in when u lock the car :)

No tilting on reversing for me, will need to look for that button... I loved that feature on my Stages.. Got the rest as described with my remote starter alarm security package.

Ok this whole time I was thinking there was a camera in each headlight looking out at 45deg angle. I even had someone look at the screen whilst I looked at the headlight and I was in full view lol. Man I feel like a lemon now. Its the little picture on the button that threw me off. It's exactly where nickcorr described but the button shows the field of view coming from the headlights. So naturally I just assumed there were cameras in there ! :rofl2:

This camera must have a serious fish eye lens !

Hi there, I have a 370GT SP sedan, April 09 model that has folding mirrors with a button on the door cluster, the seat heaters are on the cluster in the center console between the seats with a snow button in the middle which effectively starts the auto trans in 2nd to avoid spin. As far as cameras go it only has rear and side no front one as you mentioned. Hope this helps, and I have to say these cars are amazing tech for the price, love mine :)

    • 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
