Thanks. A lot of research before placing this order.

 

lookin good!

 

Thanks!

 

Hey Robt. Did your Swifts settle any more??

 

I noticed today washing her that it seems they have. Seems the front are a bit lower than the rear given a more aggressive look. Not any crazy Cali-stance BS. LOL Still need an alignment but have so much family in town I don't know when I'm going to get to that. Might just have to take a day and do it before I leave.

Overall I'm very happy with everything. Believe or not several have express on various forums they hate the wheels. Surprised by that but than I take into consideration the age group and that fact Forgeline wheels are not "JDM Yo." I think the tires are a bit weak as I can kick the car sideways very easily now. Might be a reflex to the sways as well. None-the-less I think a 255/295 will be in the future. The RC2 intake and M370Z I feel really opened up intake airflow. And I love the new engine noise under throttle. The Tanabe y-pipe and axle-back increased exhaust note. But with the OEM piping between the two I'm sure I'm holding back some extra power. I really don't want to give up the Tanabe mufflers so I foresee a custom true "cat-back" in the future. That might come if I do headers and HFCs. I think once that is done an UpRev tune and the car will be set.

Oh... I also foresee a FS sign on the Z in the near future. I've been eyeing some Dodge Vipers.

 

Nice to hear that your mods are working out pretty much how you planned. I'm sure coming from your beastly Z that the Gs tire setup would seem a bit underwhelming, but it's all relative. If you didn't have that Z for reference I'm sure you'd be happier w/ the tire combo. Everything's so new too, just might need more break-in time.

Probably hard to get time to really enjoy the Z, or maybe you've done all you wanted w/ it and time to move on. At any rate that's one helluva build, I'm sure it would be hard to part w/ it, but you'll have no problem getting that one sold.

BTW, your wheels stand out for their overall quality and understated class, not something everyone appreciates I guess

 

Nice wok...loving the look of your G with rims.... I was having a hard time picking rims color for my blu slate
Thanks Rob & Congratz being a father!!!

 

Interesting that the fronts settled. I guess there is some truth to the KYB's being somewhat stiffer. Mine sits the same height as day 1 of the drop.

Btw, i'm one of those that absolutely, positively, hate your wheels.

(because i envy it.)

 

Thanks guys. At this point I don't know why some don't like the wheels. As mentioned maybe not JDM enough for them. Or they truly don't comprehend a custom forged wheel. None-the-less they look great and if I was not the owner looking at the car I would think they're a great looking wheel.

 

At Sewell Infiniti now getting the G serviced; oil change, alignment, TPMS sensor reset. I'll try to get new pics before departing back to Iraq.

 

Damn, going back already, that's got to be tough, especially w/ the new kiddo
When are you headed back?

 

Head back Thursday. It does suck but it's pays the bills and gonna give him a better future.

So Sewell Infiniti said they couldn't get the TPMS working. Also they did they best with the the alignment. The rears they got into spec but the fronts looks like needs camber arms. No real rush as in the last year of ownership it only was driven for 5700 miles. LOL Latest pic below and alingment spec sheet attached.

Oh and give a Jaguar F-Type "S" a surprise of the G's power. We pulled over and talked and it is a beautiful car. Asked if he like to run my Z and apparently knew of it and passed.

 

Pretty nice mods, i would have gone with coils tho

 

Thanks. Springs more than suit my needs.

 

Hey Robert K, just caught this thread. First congrats on your new family member! It really is something ain't it?! Mine is 16 now and he loves taking my G out for spins!!! Second, thank you for your service. I was around for the first one back in the early 90's. HOO AHH.
I would like your opinion of the Swift springs in comparison to the stock "S" set-up. I also have a G37S sedan but it's a 2010. I read another post where the owner felt the springs bounced him into the side of the road on fast turns. Do you feel an improvement in the handling in high-speed cornering or was stock better? I like the look of the drop but it's totally secondary to the fact that I want to "upgrade" the handling. Already have the Hotchkis sways and that is a world of difference. Also, is ride quality similar to the firmness of the "S" ride or is it much stiffer?
