I’ve got a 2011 G37, basically the same car.

The G37 forums are also full of posts on the steering lock, after wading through these I pulled the fuse as others have recommended.

The new lock being fitted is also failing, just as the old one did, so even after having the replacement done it might be worth pulling the fuse.

No sympathy 

Thanks for that stanski, I won’t be contacting  we buy any car.com now

You’ve got me worried now re extortionate prices for spares!!

All the parts I’ve had to buy so far have been consumables, with the exception of an oil pressure switch and I’ve obtained everything form a Nissan dealership and prices have been very good.

The dealership also told me that they can do all the diagnostics on the car and all repairs if any are ever required.

I guess if I ever need anything like a new headlight it will cost me an arm and leg unless I can secure a “used unit” from Japan or Australia 

Wouldn’t the TPMS have been activated with the large discrepancy in pressures and flagged the warning light on? 

Here's mine!!

Extremely!!

Love mine, goes very well, comfortable and drop dead gorgeous.

Fingers crossed the parts that are purely Infiniti won’t be too difficult to get hold of in around 10 months time!!

G37 convertible......regular reader of this forum 

Not many 370Z’s round here to compare it to.

My sister ran a 350Z with a stock exhaust and from memory the G37 is just a little quieter than that.

Seven months and 4,500 miles later the G37 is running perfectly.
Hasn't used a drop of water or oil, starts on the button first time every time.
Fuel consumption is averaging 25.5 mpg with a mixture of driving, on a long run its much better, we did close on 500 miles over the weekend going down to The Cotswolds and the actual figure was just over 31mpg.....I dont think my right foot is as heavy as some of you guys ;-)
No regrets in buying it, love the way it looks and performs.

Finding the information on this forum very useful.

Thanks

The hardest thing is removing the fuse box, it does take a considerable pull to get it out, once done it’s dead easy, the YouTube tutorial is spot on 

If you can’t get the steering lock to release it’s too late to do this process.....you’re into the £700 bill to resolve it

Mines a G37, basically the same car, if it’s just behind the front wheels it’s the air conditioning condensation.

It’s a good reliable autobox

Left in auto it changes gear at low revs, has smooth changes and you can take your Grandma out for a ride.

Press a bit harder with your right foot and the car really shifts, again with good smooth changes, kick down responds immediately.

A flick of the lever into S mode and the car responds to much smaller inputs on the accelerator peddle and holds onto the gears a bit longer.

The paddles are very good, foot to the floor and redline gear changes arn’t quite as smooth.....but are probably a lot smoother and quicker than most manual owners can deliver.....I’ll get some stick for that!!

Using that paddles to down change you get a lovely blip of the throttle on the down change.

I would recommend you take a look at the issue of the steering lock mechanism, an easy fix and it’ll save you a £1000 bill, is to pull the fuse that controls it 

Are there no “smart” repairers in your area?

Ive used a couple in areas where we live and they’ve done an excellent job very reasonably 

Whoops!!

Sorry guys, I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes.

We have a second home on Santa Pola, I’m contemplating driving down in the G37 later this year.

You live in an amazing country

Steer clear of rust!!

Youll spend a few quid to get rid of it, and as others have said unless it’s cut out and removed completely it will reappear.

As for the automatic, go for it, I’ve got the auto box with the 3.7

Its a decent box, smooth changes, gets more aggressive in the Sport mode, and if you use the paddles or lever to change cogs the magics inside the eco even give you a quick blip of the throttle on down changes.

Im a convertible fan, ours has been in open format every day of late, you can’t beat it 

Great looking motor 

Welcome 

Yes, it’s a 370Z with all the trimmings :-)

Had her a month and put just over a thousand miles on her, hasn’t missed a beat, everything works as it should, not used a drop of oil or water but it does like the four star.

Had a great reaction from everyone who’s seen her.

Took a blast up the coast to Filey tonight to cool down!!

The more I drive this car the more I’m loving it.

I think it’ll be a keeper!!

I’ve just been doing a bit of tidying up under the bonnet and noticed loads of pine needles lying under the brake servo.

Took all the “dressing” panels off to gain access and from the brake servo area and around and the battery area I half filled the Dyson.

The previous owner obviously parked under pine trees!!

My worry was that with the heat under the bonnet that these could easily ignite.

Might be worth checking yours!!

Regards all

Great looking motor, welcome

That’d bi reyt gud lad 

Thanks, took a ride up to Pickering this morning and then took one of my favourite roads across The North Yorkshire Moors to Whitby, the car drove like a dream, it’s in a different league to the SLK’s I’ve driven for the last 16 years.

Ive yet to see a 350 or 370 to see if they acknowledge my wave
