Reuse your g37 ecu. This is because you are reusing your g37 engine harness.

This is correct. No need to switch ECU over. Just use harness from 08. You will possibly need the O2 sensors from your old car if the new engine comes with them. Have heard the connectors are different.

For VHR there were 2 different plug types.

You can reuse your original o2 sensor also

install the powersteering pump from your G37. As you see with you new engine, there's no PS pump since the Q uses electric assist. Injectors are the same.

Just reuse your upstream O2 sensor from your g37 because if i remember, your harness has the rectangular grey plug and the Q uses a flat brown plug.
