Black4drG37's 2009 G37 Sedan

**Unfortunately, this Sedan was totaled due to a truck running me off the road**

Pics Below


So purchased my G about 6 months ago and was quickly bitten by the modding bug. So I'll give a mod list and rough timeline to start off with!

If you have any questions about my mods or vehicle, feel free to ask here or PM me

Mod list:
Exterior

OEM Coupe 19" Staggered wheels
-Tires: General G-Max AS-03 (R 275/35/19, F 245/40/19)
Tein Street Basis Z coilovers
Takeda Attack front mounted intake
Beluga Racing resonated test pipes
Agency Power Resonated Y pipe
GReddy Supreme SP Custom Y-Back exhaust
EcuTek remote street tune through OrangeVirus Tuning (in progress)
OEM Sport Bumper Swap
6000k D2S Bulbs
LED swapped Turn signal and license plate light
Interior

LED interior light swap
Repaired various trim items including steering wheel

Picture Timeline




07.30.2016<br/>Just picked up from the dealership at 95k miles



08.15.2016<br/>Finally got a hold of her with the DA Polisher. Freshly compounded and polished.<br/><br/>Also picked a 2nd hand set of Coupe wheels for an absolute steal $650 with trashed tires.



09.15.2016 (ish)<br/>Installed Tein Coilovers<br/><br/>This is after they settled.



11.01.2016<br/>Installed Takeda Attack Intake<br/><br/>Love the sound



Finally got around to fixing that steering wheel trim.



12.01.2016<br/>New MEAT<br/>275 in the rear.

So as most would expect the test pipes are pretty raspy on stock exhaust. To combat this, I have Agency Power's Resonated Y-Pipe on order. It's a similar design to Morotdyne's XYZ pipe so I have high hopes that it will all but make the rasp disappear.




THE REVIEW IS HERE!

Deleting the "INFINITI" looks so much cleaner.

Little heat, fishing line, Goo Gone, and DA Polisher works magic.

GReddy Supreme SP Dual exhaust is installed! I sounds amazing.

It sounds somewhere between maybe a Tomei and a maybe an Meisterschaft exhaust. I haven't really heard anything like it on here. Cruising around it is very quiet. There is no drone at all. However, at WOT it is very loud. Maybe not straight pipe loud, but definitely loud. BUT it still has that VQ note everyone knows and loves. I will be shooting some video with my DSLR to try to get some sound clips soon. Here is a quick clip.

Nice setup you've got there, look forward to that Y-pipe review too. Set a few more spots aside for future updates.

Thanks! Yeah I'll likely write a secondary review with sound clips once I get it. I'm really excited to see how it handles rasp.

They are pretty great.

First impression was they seemed to be very high quality; robust feeling in the hands, good looking welds, etc. They were extremely easy to install and adjust. As far as ride quality they are fantastic. They keep the luxury feel, but add just enough stiffness to keep you nice and level through corners at high speeds. I used to have a very weird "floaty" feeling at speeds above 80mph, but now it's solid all the way up to the limiter... err i mean the speed limit.

9/10 would def buy again. I only knock them one point for no adjustable dampening but they are $500 coils. You buy these for value not features.

UPDATE:
Received the Agency power Y-Pipe for the Z33 Chassis rather than the Z34 from VividRacing.com.

I contacted their customer service and they immediately issued an RMA and had me a return shipping label within 24hrs. Service was excellent, I should have the correct part soon.
