Sorry, I didn't post a follow-up after I had it fixed. The parts came to $6500, and took 4 months to get here by boat, as COVID-19 disrupted direct freight. No idea what the labor costs were to get it all installed. Yay for good insurance. I get very nervous now when I see a possum or rabbit on the road. Gonna have to investigate disabling that mechanism I think.

Hi, last night a possum ran in front of me and smacked the bumper, triggering the Pedestrian Safety System which blew out the bonnet hinges. I haven't contacted anybody for repairs yet, just wondering what the damage is from this system being activated. I found some discussions regarding different models of Nissan, which suggest that it destroys the hinges and these need to be replaced. Is this going to be a costly repair? 2010 370GT coupe, DBA-CKV36

Yeah, so, facepalm moment, it was the dashboard camera which had filled up its SD card. Now I know it makes noises.

On a long drive today my 2010 370GT (CKV36) started pinging, once every 4 seconds. It does it for a while then there is a different chime sound and it stops. Then sometime later it starts doing it again. It sounds a bit like a speed warning chime, but it happens at any speed, it even started doing it after starting the engine, while I wasn't moving. I can't see any different lights or warnings on the dash. Anybody know what it is trying to tell me?

On AliExpress there are a couple of companies selling a complete replacement for the center unit, with an Android media system in it. I haven't tried one yet, they are designed for the Infiniti in the US, the only suggestions I have seen so far is that the side camera interface may have a different voltage.

Good to know. I would like to hear some people's experiences with these tho. The original had two chambers inside the rubber filled with silicone, which would have given a certain amount of movement. I don't know the effect of going to something firmer or softer. I have taken the temporary step of injecting some silicone based caulking, which is firm but I expect it will crumble away quite fast. It seems to have got rid of a slight knock it usedta have anyway.

Repco NZ have a RCF592, which is the same size, minus the adhesive foam strips on the sides. I got some adhesive foam and made it match. Just a little uncertain about which way it goes in; original filter had an arrow labeled 'up', new one has an arrow labelled 'air flow'. Since the old one is dirty on top, I assume the airflow is downwards (?) where's my calculator...

Ok. I am considering doing something with mine... traded in a 300ZX TT for it, which was around 340 hp at the wheel (I still shed a tear when I see a nice Z go by, but both myself and the Fairlady were getting old) anyways, the VQ37 is quite impressive, but I wouldn't mind a little more torque starting off, probably not going so far as to start looking at turbo/supercharger options.

I finally got round to pulling the filter out. The images, for me, have a "photobucket" logo posted over the top and look like they are intentionally blurred so that I cannot read any text in the pictures. Anyways, going to an auto store now to see if I can find a match.

I thought the 370GT was already rated at 325 hp. Guess I should get mine checked out sometime to see what it does put out.

Hi, I have a 2010 370GT skyline coupe, CKV36, with a ruptured differential bushing. The local Nissan dealers tell me their answer is to replace the entire sub-frame, which includes considerable man hours, on top of the parts costs. It all looks identical to the G35/G37 Infiniti, as described in the below YT vid, where there is a suggestion that an aftermarket replacement bush can be inserted, rather than replacing the entire sub-frame. What is the preferred way to deal with this? Has anybody found a satisfactory alternative bush and successfully had it replaced?

I was getting worried. First time I have had the battery die on my V36, and the window started dropping when the door was opened but not going back up. Thank goodness for archived old posts here.

Where can I find a part code for the filter? I have a 2010 370GT, it's the DBA-CKV36 coupe. I assume it has been some time since the filter was changed, tho maybe if I start removing panels I may come across a label with the last change date on it. I think it is worth changing it anyhow. Just to be sure.

Being targeted at the Infiniti, in the litigation-happy US, they would have to deliver a reasonable level of usability, I expect. I wouldn't be too concerned about the CPU power, if I could load in the maps I need for GPS it would be cool, but I wouldn't push the boundaries with Android apps other than using a music player, tho right now I just run spotify on my phone thru bluetooth. Thanks for making the effort to get more information on this thing anyway. I just wish there were more technical specs available, to know if it was possible to make a patch were parts of the interface are missing or whatever. It could be a fun hardware and software challenge.

Just found this. For the Infiniti... Vertical Screen Android 7.1 Quad Core 12.1 inch Car Multimedia DVD Player Stereo Radio For Infiniti G37 G35 G25 G37S How much info is there on the differences in the interface with the Skyline?
