I saw a Nissan Maxima this morning and it occured to me that the standard front bar on the V36 looks waaaaay to similar for my liking.

Has anyone looked seriously into replacing it and knows what options we have over here?

I will look into what they do to the G37 in the states but would appreciate anyones local knowledge. Cost, brands, quality etc etc

Its all happening out of the states.

Thankfully mine came with the front lip , side skirts and rear spoiler.

I do like the look of the black, especially with black rims. Nothing better than looking like your about to do a driveby......

I actually had a quick look last night and found a few places that make them and DAMN are they cheap! Probably cost more in shipping than to buy them but I didnt see anything that jumped out at me. The most interesting was the 2011 IBL Infiniti body kit. That looks pretty mean and comes already painted but I would need to get fog lights etc made up......price suddenly shoots up.

Am I correct in assuming that basically anything that bolts straight onto a G37 will bolt straight onto a 370GT or are there actually quite a few differences??? (Apart from any engine/transmission stuff where the LHD/RHD would be an issue)

I couldnt find much out of Japan, not that I looked THAT hard. Actually, now that I think about it, I will be in Germany next month and should probably pop into an Infiniti Dealer and see what they say.

My car is getting closer so I thought I would bump this up.

Can anyone answer the question above about Nissan / Infiniti compatability, specifically body parts for now? Also has anyone found any good looking body kits, I have found a couple but nothing that jumps out at me.

I am pretty sure body parts of Nissan V36 / Infinity G37 would be the same, just as V35 / G35. Only some mechanical parts (Windows, drivetrain, etc.) could be different due to LHD and RHD.

With body kit, have you checked Top Secret kit? That's my favourite. :-)

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
