Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

[HYBRID VL]

I have a V37 400R great car imo alot of fun.

[doggido]

This is what you really want!

[HYBRID VL]

I have the VR37 400R it says Skyline and has Nissan badging all over it from Japan.

[niZmO_Man]

How is the all Japanese infotainment system? Can convert to English?

[HYBRID VL]

Nah.

with they GPS i tried to transfer the Australian maps onto it and updating it and not been able to get anywhere yet.

best i can do is Android Auto and then it all comes up Australian.

Everything else is in English so there is no problem there.

its just the GPS that won't give me anywhere else but Japan.

Wondering if i could buy a Nissan screen from a wrecker and swap it out but im sure its a long shot as it seems alotta stuff for the vehicle is held in these units.

 

 

[HYBRID VL]

If there was a way i could access the screen itself from a PC and modify stuff in it like hack into it?

What does the JDM V37 400R offer over the AuDM V37 Q50 RS?  Other than a newer build?

[colin.ssc]

Different taillights and front bar + Nissan instead of Infiniti. There may be a few other styling differences but engine and powertrain all the same I'm quite sure.

So potentially worse than AUDM RedSport?

Looks better, has better safety features and android auto/carplay. 

Sounds better to me

Also...5  years newer for the same price

[sonicii]

you can pick up a 2018 AuDM RS for around $30k, can you really get a 2023 JDM V37 for that?  If so I may need to consider one...

There are 2 on car sales under $30k, $45k+ is the asking price for every other RS. I'd say they are either bargains, scams or listing errors. $50k approx gets you a 5 year newer jap import with a nav screen you can't read

Base models are readily available around 30k and would be much better value as a tuning start platform.

[sonicii]

at $45k, might be why they are still for sale.  Redbook range is $25-33k for a 2018 RS.

There is also a 2019 400R for $62k and a 2020 for $56k on carsales.  So I would expect a 2023+ to be more.

Personally, I don't think the JDM version looks much better, tails do. but front? meh.., so for that sort of $ difference, I would take a late AuDM Q50 and put a bit aside for new turbos when they go, but everyone has their preferences..

Guys , just picked up 400R today , still getting used to setup ,I might be looking at maybe getting a exhaust upgrade in the next 6 months , any advise for a shop in Sydney?

[Duncan]

Hmmm, seems like these things are car of the week....we bought a q50 Red Sport today too (ironically, the one I said a few posts above is probably dodgy  )

Goes good for a stocker. Brakes and tyres need doing all round and it is way overdue for an oil change, but it seems good otherwise.

It was weird to be able to see (and even drive!) a car before I bought it, most stuff I get 2 or 3 grainy pics and an auction sheet I can't read, followed by a 4 month wait to see what I ended up with

[niZmO_Man]

I really want a Q50 red sport. WHY NISSAN WHY you fail

[Duncan]

Nissan Oz are too busy trying to decide whether we need a Qashqai or Xtrail (whatever the difference is), really not a new issue. At least we can import cars they decided not to directly, at much better value.

BTW can I confirm ADM Q50 all have no spare tyre (just goop)? Is that the same in JDM skyline? I'm going to need to sort something, I can't do billions of highway klm without a spare

[sonicii]

My Q50 doesn't even have 'goop', it comes standard with runflats, so no spare, no jack, no goop, nothing.  No idea what the JDM models come with.
I bought a 370Z donut (needs to be at least 18in to clear the akebonos), a spare jack and wheel brace and I throw that in the boot when I go out of town, saves having to spend the $$ and endure the downsides of runflat tyres.

Apparently if you are creative, you can make yourself a replacement boot base out of high density foam and fit the donut under the boot mat, but you lose about 100mm of boot depth.

I always drive with the tire pressure gauges showing the PSI because I'm paranoid about getting a flat tire and not knowing then keep driving and tear it apart. No amount of goo is going to fix a shredded tire.

My Q60 has the goo and the V36 had the goo too. Never used it but I have used the pump to pump up the tire to get home. Then I fixed it with a plug. Wasn't keen on the goo.
