Hi again guys,

After a lot of research I've finally figured out what model my car is (bit hard as I can't read Japanese).

I'm looking for any info on what parts are compatible with chassis/body and engine as I've been lead to believe they are different (V35/Infiniti G35 for chassis/body and 350z for engine/interior).

I need new bushings for the inner lower control arms on my front suspension, probably a few other things too...so would anyone know where/what I should be looking for?

I was told the parts below would suit - pic of damaged bushing and new part below.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, local mechanic hasn't got a clue...

Thanks ?

It's a V35 so V35 parts will fit. GT-8 is a coupe so I would think all other coupe parts will suit. The only difference is the gearbox I believe?

Thanks for the reply, forgot to mention in the original post that it's a sedan, does that make a difference to parts compatibility?

Been off the road for too long, really want to source the parts but can't find a local supplier, and don't want to end up with the wrong parts ?

Thanks

No, it makes no difference.  They are all the same car underneath.  The fact that it's a V35 still makes it hardly any different than an R32 underneath.  Most stuff looks essentially the same.  Of course, the parts may not swap like for like, but it's not as if Nissan made major changes to anything over the years.  So sedan = coupe = everything else.

Ok cool thanks, yeah seems that way hey, from what I've read only noted differences in any of the models released around same time of mine is engine configuration, slight weight difference, body shape and transmission...The whole Infiniti G35 got me a bit confused at first too, but that's just basically re-branding yeah?

Would you happen to know of any reliable suppliers in Perth or Aus region?

Thanks

And the small matter of moving the steering wheel to the other side....

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
