2010 G37x Coupe Newb in Colorado

Hi All,
Been lurking here for the past few weeks and finally decided to introduce myself. While I am not new to Nissans, this is my first Infiniti. As titled, it is a 2010 G37x Coupe in Slate Blue. Just a hair over 60k. It's got the black interior with nav. I won't spend too much time talking about future plan, that will be in my build journal. I can tell you however that I already have parts sitting in the house.

As she sits now.

just kidding, Photobucket didn't want to cooperate right now. Might be time to find a new image host.

Anyway, howdy all and thanks for having me.

Thomas (Pretendingtowork)

On hand I have paddle shifters and some Cosworth drop ins. HPS intake tubes are in the mail as well as Swift springs to deal with a bit of the fender gap. I swear this thing has more gap than my lifted WRX did. I have various LED bulbs coming and a rear window spoiler.

Piecing together the stuff to put together a grounding kit and some DIY LED lights for the front bumper as well. Its gonna need some tint too. Not sure if I want to match paint the interior trim pieces or go with a carbon wrap. But with winter upon us and a heated and insulated garage, I have a fun list of projects.

Yeah...like I said, lots of time on my hands.


To answer about Nissans, my first car was a 1995 200ad. Essentially a 2 door Sentra at the time. I also had a Sentra after that. Spent plenty of time under hoods of other Nissans too.

If you live in Colorado and you're not an Avalanche/Bronco fan they won't issue you a Drivers license

Okay well I think I got it now, here is a pic of my G37.


Picked this up on the 18th I think it was. My old project car was an 08 WRX which was set up for RallyCross. Won two regional SCCA championships with it and picked up 2nd in a National level event...amongst other fun stuff. A lady pulled out of a driveway in front of my car as I was driving down the street and that ended that. Couldn't find another Subie I wanted, so I picked up this car. While it is auto, it will be a great car to introduce my sons and wife to track days and auto x events. I will be picking up another rally project soon too, just not sure what yet.

Old car
