Just bought a beautiful 08 G37s

New owner in Miami! First time experiencing one of these and I have to say I'm impressed. I tend to be active across multiple forums and intend to stick around here for as long as the car is mine.


I gotta say..... I love the fact that these are Skylines in Japan

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome aboard! You've made a great choice and your G looks beautiful! Done any modding yet or got any plans for it?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on that beautiful G coupe! 7at or 6mt? Either way she's a beauty... any plans for future mods?

Thanks everyone! It's a 5AT with 62k miles. I'm getting tints put on this weekend and I want to change the exhaust in the next few months. I did find the lack of bluetooth audio a bit disappointing So im considering installing my raspberry pi.

Congrats with the G Staysyk, super clean flawless looking G you got. Feel your pain with the bluetooth audio streaming. There's a few options I've read about, but most are complicated/expensive. I've had to deal with just settling for using an ipod through the stock connector with a separate adapter for charging for now, cause of cost and wanting the metadata displayed w/steering wheel controls. Not sure if you or anyone else on the forum knows, but which are those ground effects on your car? My car is an 08 G37S also, and I dont have those kinds of skirts on the rear bumper and side skirts of mine. I really like the look of those and haven't been able to find the name of them or what specific model of G has them.

Thanks man!

I have the Journey model with the sports package so I think they come when they're fully loaded. Here is a picture of whats included in my G, you can see where it says "Unique Front Fascia and Side Sills"

"Compact flash slot" - lol. "feature"

"Rear active steer system" - intriguing, but grossly exaggerated when compared to the lack thereof. I don't think I ever drove a car with rear steering so definitely curious.

Not sure, but my first guess would be to look under your car. (sorry, I just had to do it)

I actually love the CF slot. I just got a 64gb card in and its awesome to be able to play all my music. I was about to go get an old ipod classic but cf turned out to be much faster, no lag time at all.

lol! Beat me to it. Judging by the pictures on nissan/infiniti website, the hardware for rear steering should be pretty obvious.
Take some pics, if it's there.

Ha! That's awesome. You are probably in 1% of people who use it.
I stopped downloading music years ago so it would definitely be useless to me. Now I'm spoiled with bt in all the cars and flip out when a rental doesn't have it.

Beauty!

I love the coupe version. I will probably go with that when I get mine instead of the sedan. I don't have to haul kids around much anymore!
