Still as it was. Yeap still have the Forgeline's but they need a polish badly. Son takes up much of my time. Also being my wife's car now when I am home the G isn't. I won't rule out a Stillen S/C in the far future.

Put new tires on the G37... Out with these crappy Hankook Ventus V12, on with BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2. Think I need an alignment too. LOL

Do you have someone to do it? There's a place called Southwest Alignment in.. southwest Houston. They do a nice job.

I don't have much wheel time on them. Drove the car back from Discount Tire. And a quick spin around the block to burn off the production oils in the tires. With that said I'm a big BFG fan. I ran their KDW tires on my 350Z all the time and llove them. Always felt the KDW tires were the best "bang for the buck" out there. I was eyeing the Comp-2's when I ordered my Forgelines but sizing was very limited due to be so new. Seems BFG has a good production on the Comp-2's now.
I will say I absolutely hated the Hankooks. They were absolute garbage compared to the BFG KDW tires. Dry & cornering traction was bad and wet weather driving was damn near nerve racking. I'm not calling those that like the Hankooks dumb, but I do question if they've ever drove a car at speed with a high-quailty tire. And I'm not comparing the Toyo R888's to the Hankooks. My opinion is based on the BFG KDW to the Hankook Ventus V12 tires.

Edit: I would honestlly run the Michelin Pilot Sports if the G wasn't driven as much as it is. But considering I need to factor miliage life into my tire selection the BFG Comp-2's were, IMO, the best bet.

Boy do I miss driving this car. Can't believe I gave it up and now my wife has it. That was stupid of me! Now at 28k miles just took it to Sewell Infiniti for an oil change and routine check up. Had a blast driving it there and back. I forgot how much it loves to be pushed and pulls so linear. I'm glad we didn't trade it in!

Took the G in for it's 30k miles maintenance and check up. Both front & rear pads were close to replacement (5mm front, & 4mm rear). Also noticed that the front rotors "might" need replacing. Infiniti wanted $280 an axle for pads, rotor turning and labor, $560 total. Contacted Kyle at Import Parts Pro and ordered the StopTech Sport kit. Comes with F&R slotted rotors, F&R pads, F&R stainless line (which I already own) and three bottle of fluid. Was only $25 more than Infiniti and an easy DIY for me and upgrade. Will also most likely flush/change some fluid too when I do the brakes.

Just went through the build and glad you decided to keep the G. It's begging for a chin spoiler to finish off the clean look
