yeah, its been talked about for a while, and is a go for '09... if I were to guess, I'd say and hope, that Nissan doesn't do a convertible A/C...

I'm not a hhuge fan of convertibles but w/e. Its still a g37 so its still sexy. And its definatly a go its on there website. I just hope and pray they don't make a convertible for the A/C.

Only kinda convertible I like are hard-top convertibles. You loose the lines of the car I think with a soft-top. Especially with a coupe. The 350Z Roadster comes to mind with the way a soft-top kills the lines of the car.

[mcheddadi]

convertible? I bet that nissan will make an AWD nissan altima coupe. want to know why?

nissan murrano 09 has the SAME platform as the nissan altima coupe and the SAME motor (vq35de) and the same engine layout.

basiclly its plug and play compatible. just take the propeller shaft, awd box and rear final drive (rear transaxle) and you just plug it in the altima and is uses the already installed sensors + ecu signals to work



damnit, i'm going to try doing it if I find a wrecked 09 murano

HARDTOP FTW!!!!

[Infantry1327]

To me the G37 looks like A$$ as a convertable and I pray they don't do that to the A/C

[Hussain]

and mehdi, you should totally go for an AWD conversion. then later on when you put turbo it'll be sort of like a V6 evo lol

there it is

[phobs]

I want to believe that mcheddadi photoshopped that spy picture and that it's not real :P.

[Alt.ImaCoupe]

So if an AWD G35 is a G35x, will an Altima SE become an Altima SEX?

[phobs]

You bring up a good point

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! EPIC!

that just made my day hahaha

[dldjros69]

Sex haha that is pretty good.

[CanadianCoupe]

I take a Altima SEX. I have read rumours that the AC may be released as a soft-top in 2010. Personally I think it would like like a Solara, which are not my favorite.

I bet not. It's not practical for Nissan for take their family based fun car and put cost into it to make it AWD. Not gonna happen. It would make the 3.5 fully loaded altima coupe 35k. Bad ideas.

Also, WTF is this propeller shaft What happened to drive shaft

lol i was thinking the same thing! maybe its just the Canadian way of saying it

The G37 is a hardtop. 3-piece retractable top to compete with the 3 series beemer and Lex SC430 retractables.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Mendi... get that murano! Pick up a turbo!Smoke people on the autocross!

Nice, glad to hear Infiniti spent the extra money to do this. It's retarded when I see a nice car and they make some cheap rag-top convertible out of it.

Also isn't the Murano only in CVT so the mehi would have to replace his 6MT transmission with a CVT no??

[Hussain]

lol ya i was actually thinking the same thing. it would probably still work, would just need some fabrication. my brother had a 2001 GT Mustang automatic and blew his motor (dumb ***) and replaced it with a motor from a stick shift and it just had to have one piece altered a little bit. so this would probably just need some extra fabrication...... CVT FTW!

[mcheddadi]

NEVER! lol

anyways the I wouldn't need to take the cvt transmission, I would just need to keep my 6mt and use an adapter plate or something like that. custom fab FTW

yeah but I think what you are missing is he would have to go from 6MT to CVT AWD. The motor is different, then the transmission, I do not think Nissan has a 6MT FWD biased AWD, that you can use.

[spockrock]

Now I maybe over complicating this but I do not think its easy as using an adapter plate, the transmission it self has to be built for AWD.

I would like to see what Blake has to say on the issue.

[audtatious]

Like this? Murano GTC

[Hussain]

that sounds familiar now that i think about it..... i think i did hear something like that before but idk. plus if he uses a manual transmission wouldn't he have to get custom tunning also? like tunning to computer. i'm no expert at this, just guessing. it would be interesting to see what a professional would say, maybe give a ballpark estimate of how much it would be and what you would actually need to get... mehdi if you got time to kill one day, you should pass by a shop and see they say (doesn't hurt to ask)
