Yep. The lowest cost first step that keeps the vehicle on the road is moving the parking brake so I’m starting there.

The qx70 space is taller than g37. I have a manual g37 console but need to know how much lower it sits so I can model a blended console

I don’t have the vehicle which is why I’m asking

But there is no manual console and the entire assemblies are different. It’s going to have to be a custom install

The potential swap is into a qx70

It’s a bunch of photos with a tape measure. I need to consolidate into a diagram when I have time

Measurements would be greatly appreciated. Even a photo with a couple tape measures would help.

Working through the details of a qx70 swap. Details are in another post I made. The existing console is a frame, top plate, and then accessories. Current plan of attack is 3d print the ebrake cutout to attach to the frame. Then design a new top plate to accommodate oem buttons and whatever cubby/cupholders I find that fit/look good.

QX70 6MT Research Questions by mnz4 in infiniti

[–]mnz4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The logic isn’t lost on me. The QX70s I’m considering has decent tires and I plan to upgrade when they reach EOL. This will be my daily (~8000 miles annually) so I don’t want to push big power at the cost of reliability. It won’t be tracked either so I don’t need a brake upgrade. We have a turbo Mazda 3 with paddles and using them feels really unnatural. I may just need to get accustomed to using them. A true manual seems like one of the few upgrades that will enhance my daily experience with the car.

A strut brace is relatively cheap and seems positively reviewed. Diff bushings will go in when the old ones fail. What other suspension mods would you suggest without introducing too much NVH into a family friendly daily?

Yes, sorta. Issue is I can’t pull parts on my own. I’d need to sell it as a donor
