Hi. Hey. Hello.

Hello to anyone who reads this.
I'm Alex, and i'm the owner of an '08 G37S 6MT. Had it since April '16; the only reason I have it is because I was in a pretty bad accident in late March of that same year (T-boned at an intersection, caused me to spin and hit a tree on the opposite side of the street. Luckily I missed all the oncoming traffic.) The car that was totaled was a 2011 370z. I came out of it relatively fine considering what occured. Reason I got a G37S is because, there was nothing else that piqued my interest. That and the Zs were the most familiar to me (previously had a 350Z as well), and I wanted something with backseats and a reverse camera. I've been keeping the G maintened and added a custom exhaust (just because I miss the growl of a VQ; it'll most likely be changed sometime in the future.), but now's the time for the real mods.
Enough words from me, on to the pictures!

Glad to see you made it out in one piece. Looks like an intense crash! Lots of useful information here about just about every performance part for the VQ and G platform. Can pick up a lot of good stuff in the classifieds as well.

Back seat? In a coupe? Hopefully you aren't going to stuff anyone over 5 years old back there!
Also, rear tires should be the first 'mod'. :P
Good luck and have fun.

Wow, looks like a horrendous collision, hope you aren't suffering any long term injuries from that one.

Glad to hear you stuck w/ the VQ family and found this site. Keep us posted w/ what you end up doing.

I'm happy to say i've stuffed a 23 yr old and a 4 yr old back there, Lol. I bought Hankooks, OEM replacement pads and rotors, and now have some Avant Garde wheels to go on.

I'm alright. My knee was an issue, but i'm healed up now. Thank you for the concern.

Supercharger was in the plans, but I figure i'll just get 4.08 gears instead, and save the boost for the next car. Power is desired, but I know my capabilities and I am not ready for more power yet.
