Well it could be that he doesn't know? Or that he was told this and that's what he's repeating?

Bottom line is that if the 09 G35 Sedan ships with the new engine, it will drastically affect sales of the 08. You and I both know that. Either he doesn't know or he's just repeating the corporate line, but bottom line is that we don't know for sure that it won't fit, other from what he said...

 

Damn that car looks gay

I knew it will turn out gay but DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN that is as gay as it could ever be.

I need GTR ASAP

 

I don't believe this guy offers any real credibility as to what Infiniti says will be installed in future models. FYI, the coupe is lower to ground and has a lower hoodline than the sedan so how in the world is the VQ37 not going to fit in the sedan It's completely laughable. As for the variable valve train,those components sit forward of the heads and they have been using similiar variable valvetrain equipment on the prior VQs for years. A 0.2 liter increase in displacement is nothing when it comes to stroke or bore or both. Both cars share the same exact interior too and are based off the same exact FM chassis. Exact.

I will believe the information when Nissan or other reputable sources confirm the potential G37 sedan. I'm pretty confident Infiniti will introduce the VQ37 into upcoming sedans because that's their bread and butter car and HP sells. They have had their sites set on BMW's 3 series since the G's introduction and they're not short change the G sedan when trying to go up against the twin turbo 335i sedan. My guess is the G37 sedan will become somewhat of a high performance model of the G with a slightly lowered suspension, some mild body work, and 19" rims.

 

i mean come on. if the G35 were to get the 3.7 engine why did they bother to make that 306 hp HR engine?!!!

 

Ok, i spoke with my neighbor yesterday who is an engineer at Nissan. He is pretty high up and regularly (once a month) flies to Japan.

He says the 3.7 can fit in the new sedan no problem.

Also confirmed this with my wife's little brother who is *also* an engineer in Nissan.

So that's what two Nissan engineers told me, for what its worth.

Thanks for providing pictures, great find.

Based upon what I'm seeing, I'm glad I got the sedan. Not in love with the coupe at all compared to the BMW 335.

 

Not sure why everyone is so up in arms about the 3.7 going into the Sedan . As with electronics ... newer model cars will always benefit from upgrades and for most of us, it will be impossible to keep up with the latest. What ever facts or rumors you hear about this topic will just be true for today.

Just enjoy what you have now (or get a short term lease ).

 

are you mocking me? geezzz ... you try to spead some info around, and there's always a smart A*s or two who have to stir shiat

 

Well, I guess we can all stop biatching and whining about the front bumper design now -

Apparently it's already too late to change anything.

 

FIY: VQ35HR & VQ37HR - external dimension is exactly the same. The difference is only the stroke length. (81.4mm --> 86mm) to add the additional 200ml of displacement.


Not doubting your credibility at all, the picture says it all. One thing I've learned over my years is that manufacturers would never use the word "NEVER" because they will manufacture whatever sells.

Thanks for the heads up, real world pictures of the G37 is very nice. (doesn't really change my impression of it though)

Hey brother~

 

^^OMFG, NOOOO, its a solara...i hate that POS car!!! Toyota FTL!!

 

Cool..... just a question: Where do you live in Toronto? and where is this guys house?

I want your neighbors job!!

 

I live around Leslie and Steeles ... and don't really think I should divulge the location of this guys house (as I wouldn't want a bunch of G35 enthusiasts outside of my house at all hours of the day j/k). I want to respect this guys privacy.
