@mattlorentzoe’s G37x build (mid 12s n/a)
Hows it going yall? My names Matt and I live in Atlanta Georgia. My car is a 2011 g37x sedan. Named her Marsha since its same color as marshmallows. I bought it stock in may of 2013 with 20k miles and have been modding it ever since. Now has around 108k miles(as of Nov 2020). Check my Instagram @mattlorentzoe or this build thread below for details
Check out the mods currently installed below! I ran 12.6@109 (no launch just off idle) at silver dollar raceway. Car weighed 3620 for that run (car is now 3550 no driver 3/4 tank)Lots has changed since then and looking for low 12s this year!!!

Rear end links and camber arm
Fast Intentions 2.5 inch exhaust. 18 inch resonators.
K sport coils
K sport coils and spl front control arm
Spl front end link
3780 with full tank of e85 and no driver. 8 week old German Shepherd puppy
Rear toe arm. Deleted the spring bucket on both sides.
Magnetic oil drain plug broke in half lol
Oem tow hook painted back with hole dremeled out. Planning track day soon
Got the engine cover painted color code QAA (moonlight white)
Where the stillen headers are hitting the steering column?
Stillen said it will be around a month before they can get new ones sent to me with correct clearance. In mean time they told me to take a hammer and put a dent so I can safely take right hand turns
The z1 headers that don't fit..... <br/>Driver side motor mount on the X will not clear the first header run
Plugs at 44k. Not in that bad of shape, but need step cooler for nitrous. No oil found with spark plugs.(I have seen a few that have bunch of oil on top of plug.)
Oem gtr plugs (do feel difference on butt dyno) Ran out of track. In 6th with 2200rpm left and still had all of 7th! Never been over 120 before this in my g.really cool air field. I'll have to go back for some 0-150 videos after nitrous in installed
This part bolts to the oil filter bracket from the hose
You can see the light coming in. When I drained oil I was a quart short or so. Luckily I caught it after it happen. Smell was terrible. Hot oil all over a hot exhaust!
New one was $30 and is a completely different design.
The adaptor for my z1 oil cooler blew out causing a lot of jmy oil to spew out

[QUOTE=blnewt;4021434]You've been very busy Lorentzoe, nice list thus far, keep up the nice work, and look forward to your wheel update when the time comes
BTW, that's one gigantic rotor lol
[/QUOTE
Hahahah you have been consulted on many of these mods before they were installed. Thanks for your help my cars really coming together. Can't wait to take it to the track and get a 1/4 mile run in before the nitrous install for comparison

Yes I'll be doing a 100 shot.
I'll be putting in this stuff myself before I drop off car to save some cash.
-one step colder plugs (maybe gtr? I think they might me not step cooler but if they are that's what I'll go with)
-bottle warmer
-blow down tube
-remote bottle opener
-purge
-running whatever lines I can without actually hooking anything up lol
Kit that z1 recommends is the zex kit for the 07-09hr. Honestly haven't bought the kit yet. I'll look into the nitrous express. Any major difference between the 2 kits?

Just wondering if you have had any luck with your Nitrous system. I have had 2 kits on my other cars but never pushed more than 100 hp on the highest which was on a 99 dodge dakota r / t with the 5.9L V8. I have always been told that basic rules of nitrous are around 30hp for every 100 factory hp was thought of generally safe. But don't like the idea of that much nitrous in a smaller engine even though the g37xs I have is rated for over 300hp and my dakota waz 250 but had 350tq. Just wanted to find out what the results are.
