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 :)

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
