Hey,

Did a bit of a look around and it seems that the convertible G37 is only available in the US, which means LHD.

I was wondering, would it be possible to import one out of the US and still use it as a LHD?

Converting it RHD would cost a pretty penny.

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on processes or thoughts on what to do.

Cheers,

Tony

Or wait up to 2 years and they will be selling it here, as long as the market is good for it and it will be sooner rather than later.

By the way they do make and sell Infinity g37's in Europe RHD.. So not to hard to get it here.

Some light reading for you confirming Infinity back to Australia. :(

and a topic i posted last year about it. Will be good to see them back but will be interested at what the price will be like.

Cool,

Cheers for the quick replies.

Yeah, the Lexus are pretty hot. Im just too cool for a Toyota. =P

Just curious to see if anyone had attempted something like that.

Ive been driving the missuses Saab Drop top recently and just a very different feeling driving a convertible.

But the V36 Coupe is a very sexy car and will be looking into getting one very soon, hopefully. =D

Cheers again guys!

what other european countries have RHD? apart from UK, I think everyone else is LHD

About half way down the page " And with the rollout of Infiniti into Europe – it was in late 2008 – that gives us the access obviously with right-hand drive, as well as the entire portfolio (of models) that we need."

Yep UK was the RHD target. But as they do allow RHD or LHD in all of Europe some people living in other parts may want RHD also.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The easiest option might be to just spray a bunch of fish oil in there.  At least that way you can feel like you've done something while you continue to ignore it

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
