So the dude at my local Autobahn told me that he's gonna somehow regenerate the elements in the cat converter which I found surprising coz if the compounds run out, the simple answer would be to replace them and he was adamant to "Regen" first prior to replacing them.

That's definitely the plan, I'm loving the 370gt and think I'm gonna keep for a couple more years.

Thanks mate, I will definitely go for HFC. Are you in the eastern States? Prices in WA are a bit more than the eastern States. The local Nissan dealership in Perth quoted $2k per cat lol

Cancelled the appointment!

Thanks mate, you in Perth?

Much appreciate the valuable advice. Will look into HFCs and give the Super Cat converters in Wangara a shout and see what they say. I've checked their website and they do installations as well. This is my first Japanese import vehicle so not too sure where to source quality mechanics and part suppliers. Any suggestions for good mechanics/mod shops and tuners in the greater Perth region?

Hey guys, I have 2008 v36 370gt. Everytime the car is turned on and is idling I hear a rattling sound. Took it a mechanic and was told the cats are nearly done - got a quote from Nissan for $2000 per cat lol. For a second opinion took it to Autobahn here in Perth, and I was advised that they can "regenerate" cats and it would stop rattling. I've booked the appointment for Regen early next year. I personally think I'll have no luck with the regen so now I am starting to look for a plan b. Would it advisable to change the whole exhaust system and this would take care of the rattling sound? If yes, what would be a nice exhaust system that is not too obnoxious (as I use my car as my everyday) but can roar on higher revs when needed [emoji23] Also, folks from Western Australia, any recommendations for a good shop I could go to? Thanks in advance.

Thanks The Max, I was thinking of just contacting infinity directly and give that a go if it doesn't work, then I will go through my dealer and see how we go with it. After reading nick and your posts, I felt a bit at ease coz I was gonna go crazy at nissan tomorrow morning. I completely agree with you on that one besides we pay top dollar to have genuine parts imported. This is the worse experience ever. Regards, S

Thanks for that Nickcorr. I'm going to email infiniti today and see what they have to say. But really disappointed with nissan on this one. Thanks once again [emoji1]

Hey guys, I have a 2008 nissan skyline v36 370gt. My front bumper is damaged in a crash. The person at fault doesn't want to go through insurance due to high excess on his policy. So I got parts ordered from Nissan they were due to arrive on 06/01/2018, around Christmas got an email saying they have been delayed and now expecting them on 16/02/2018 and I just got an email from them saying its again delayed till 09/03/2018. Guys, need some help here regarding where I can find a brand new bumper and get it all fixed in the greater Perth region. Thanks in advance. S

Hey all, Lately I've been experiencing rough gear shifts and the receptiveness I feel has been significantly reduced. When i push the pedal to the metal, it takes longer for the gear to down shift and when I release the pedal it sort of stalls at the lower gear (high revs) and it's pretty rough. Has anyone experienced something like this? If so, how was it fixed? Would really appreciate some insight on this. Thanks in advance. S

Hey Jacob, I have this in my v36 and sometimes it gets really annoying since it keeps beeping if there are cars that are upto 10m away. I got it with my car and did not have to install it. We can "mute" it but as soon as the vehicle goes over 20kmps, it gets out of silent mode. It's annoying when driving during rush hour. I would recommend looking at an after market part instead. Good luck. S

Hey Pete_Repeat, I finally got the mirabox installed. However, I am faced with the following challenges : 1. I can mirror screen and screen only... For some reason, my audio isn't mirroring... I think that's because of some sort of limitations of my mirabox may be? Not too sure. My box has WiFi mirroring. May be there's no audio via WiFi? Did you come across something of this sort? 2. Parking brake mod [emoji20]. I've looked through the entire thread and I found its just grounding a cable. But will definitely look extensively on it. Any tips on this?

Hey mate, I just got RCA Inputs done at carstereo.com.au in Perth. Not too sure where you're at but it costed me about $110 for everything. If you're in WA, hit them up.

Would 370Z's work on the v36?
