V36 Grille Emblem - Nissan V Infiniti

[rockafella813]

Hi all looking for some insight into the emblems for my 370gt. Was wondering if the US G37 Infiniti Emblem should be compatible with the JDM 370GT front grille? Was told they would fit but once i got it, there has been a lot of resistance just to place the emblem in place, but it would not clip in at all. Has anyone else had any luck? maybe im doing it wrong? the Original Nissan emblem fits perfect, no resistance and just pops into place. It fills like to me that they are not interchangeable.

Any input is appreciated, especially with photos!

Thanks

They are not interchangeable - the Nissan and Inifniti badges are different sizes. Even on V35s you have to buy a different front grille in order to fit the G35 badging.

Thanks for that!

Why are people making their JDM cars look American?

Are you sure about that? Because i placed an order for this:

Was under the impression that they should fit on our V35 given from what i was told.

^^^ so seriously, the OP has said he fell for some idiot telling him that an Infiniti badge will direct fit a V35 (like you have), he has it in his hand and sure enough it won't fit, and you want to dispute it?

Why not just import a G35 and call it a day.

God damn it, i was told it would fit too.....order was shipped 4 days ago. Too late now i suppose.

If you are handy with a dremel you might make it fit

And Seano you CAN'T road register a G35 (unless you are talking the convertible V36 version out of Europe). And when Infiniti start selling cars in Aus shortly you will see lots of people putting Infiniti badging on their V35s ..... once people start considering Infiniti to be a premium brand, people will respect it more. A lot like people putting Lexus badging on their Soarers.

Actually, I just found out from the seller that the one I purchased was not for a G37 Coupe but for a G37 sedan and apparently they have different grilles. So there might still be hope yet, just emailed an infiniti dealer in the states to confirm.

It will as long as you match the body type. That is, be sure to get the coupe badge or the sedan badge. I've got the 2009 370GT coupe and I made sure that the grille emblem I got was the badge for a 2010 G37 coupe, as that's the equivalent model. Mine clipped straight on, no problem. The only thing I needed to do though was to get out the polish and rub away some of the baked in dirt that was trapped behind the Nissan Hamburger, which is a little wider than the Infiniti Mt Fuji.

[Edit]: I should've read the rest of the thread. Seems you've already been told the same reason.

For what it's worth, here's the one I bought and it was from the same seller: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-INFINITI-G37-COUPE-2DR-FRONT-GRILLE-EMBLEM-CHROME-/280951353466?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item416a01707a

Because soon, the American look will also be the Australian look.

Besides, I like the Mt Fuji logo better than the Hamburger.

I'll dispute it, from experience but only on a V36. I don't know about a V35 though given the OP was talking about a 370GT which would make it a V36.
