Hey everybody,

I have spent the last hour searching and sifting through various discussions but I have been unable to find any useful info here or on Google about modding 370gt V36.

I imported myself a 2009 370gt sedan a little over a year ago and I am getting curious about possibly putting in an exhaust and doing an ECU flash.

Has anybody else done this yet? If so what sort of power gains did you get?

Also, what sort of care should I be giving to my auto gearbox? Is there a recommended service schedule?

Any good places in Sydney that can give my gearbox a checkup?

There's threads about V36 modding...you can always look up myg37 or g35driver under 07-08 g35s....same car, a little different engine, mods similar.

Most people use UpRev for ecu reflash.

As for exhaust, changing HFC is better than a cat back exhaust...

ConceptZperformance is a good site for parts.

If it's a VQ37VHR I have seen some people modify and put a R35 GTR intake and plenum on.

As soon as you start doing internals it gets very pricey.

I would ring MV Automatics and see what they can do for a valve body shift kit. Won't be as smooth but the shifts will be quicker.

I have dealt with MV Automatics and they are good, but i don't want to send my car to SA or have it off the road for a few weeks while the gearbox goes down there.

Not looking to mod the gearbox right now, just give it a checkup.

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).

      A CigWeld EasyWeld 130 can be had from ebay for $360 delivered. Good for 0.6 to 6mm, which would be fine for my requirements. I guess that on top of that you would need to buy a regulator, hoses and wire. I already have gloves and an auto-darkening mask. How is the gas bottle charged? Do you rent it then pay for top ups?

      RB20 being an option from factory would mean no custom parts or fabrication required, just have to collect the right bits. Probably would be the easiest option I reckon for a motor swap. How common are SR20s vs RBs in Turkey?
