I don't see much talk if any about them on here.

I know they are really popular in the States so they have more people talking on forums there but i was hoping a few crew on SAU have one or are keen to get one.

 Well if you come across this thread and have a V37 post a pic and say hi 😁

They look menacingly stunning but I'm not keen on their overly complex coolant plumbing for the turbos.

Just the unfortunate reality of making a turbo engine with truly modern power delivery. The W2A charge cooler adds a second coolant loop and makes things very messy in the vicinity of the intake manifold. A2A eliminates the extra plumbing and issues with coolant leaking into the engine but now you have a bunch of additional volume after the compressor that has to be pressurized to build boost.

You're right. It is an exercise in compromise. I much prefer the lesser complexity in going air-to-air and the amount of people who've reported on their coolant system spewing forth their contents after a hose failure is well-known.

It's the only reason why I would avoid buying one, despite how pornographic they are to my eye and have me lusting after one!

That is so cool.

How do get to watch that event?

They used to be on TV here in NZ last season.

I'm not sure what engine they ran but I think they used the Merc engine which could of been the 2LTR Turbo.

(Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

it is very much a performance focused hybrid, not economy focused, put the boot in and it will drive with both petrol and electric together, but won't run both together under normal driving.  When the engine is running while accelerating or cruising it has a heavy preference to use the petrol engine to drive the car and charge the battery, once there is enough charge in the battery while cruising at a constant speed it will switch to electric only and shut down the engine until either the battery charge level gets low, or you give it more throttle than it can cope with in electric only.  it shuts down the engine while decelerating and charges the battery via regenerative braking.

Will run on electric when it can while cruising up to about 105-110km/h, above that mine keeps the engine running all the time and only uses the electric motor if you put the boot in to overtake., I have heard the RWD will run on electric to cruise at higher speeds, probably due to less drive-train loss..

Otherwise it drives a lot like a conventional car, it is a normal 7sp auto, just has an electric motor and dry clutch where the torque converter normally is, transition to electric/petrol is very smooth, you often don't even notice if you aren't watching the tacho.

I haven't driven the VR powered Qs, but have heard the performance sits somewhere in between the 300hp sport and 400hp red sport.

That sounds like the JDM models, they have the infiniti logo on the front, but 'Skyline' across the back, the hybrid wears the 350GT badge too.

That said, I didn't think the JDM models were eligible for grey import??  unless they are AuDM models that people have retrofitted with the skyline badges.

      That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
