Thanks!

Here are some more pictures of the grille (and the rest of the car of course).

 

I'm hoping to get some input from fellow members on suggestions for future modifications that would compliment what I have done so far. Modifications can be either cosmetic or performance. Thanks!

 

1)Status Elite or AK rear diffuser (I'm not a fan of the IPL rear bumper, although you can score one for like $370 shipped in KAD right now-- ridic). -- there's a GB going on for AK diffusers that saves a hundred off normal price, but production and ship date are about 2 - 2.5 months out

2) IPL or AK sides sills (IPL sides in KAD are nearly depleted in terms of North America stock, more is supposedly coming in... guessing the recent accessories sales and stuff might have been the cause)


3) I don't recall if you have the CARSMO ***** for the interior dash or not... they add a really nice touch and quality pieces to boot compared to stock...

4) Performance wise, hunting down 3.692 final drive VLSD out of a 2008 5AT Sport or 3.9 or going big and going with 3.9 FD (believe the vert sport MT has them, rare as a unicorn and you can get them out of Pro-4x models and there's a few threads about the swaps). The easiest and straight swap is the 5AT VLSD. You already have VLSD, being a sport, but moving from 3.357 > 3.692 , you will feel and notice a significant amount of gain in torque and speed off the line. Much more bang for the buck than almost any bolt on considering to really get full potential out of those, you also need a tune. You can find a nice example of a differential around $400 shipped, which is a steal compared to what it usually cost other makes of performance cars to start messing with FD and ratios or to source a diff. Lot's of threads on here about the in's and outs of the swap-- but you might have read up on this subj matter beforehand, so I apologize if that's the case.





Cheers & happy motoring!!

 

Where are you seeing the IPL rear that cheap? I'm not a huge fan either but at that price it's something to consider. I really like the rear diffuser look and IPL sides. If I found a good deal on the IPL sides I'd pull the trigger on them.

 

Use the code SESTORE2015 at the second step of checkout... it actually came to 345.71 shipped up here to Indy so it shouldn't be much different to get it to you. That's pretty crazy. You can still get a set of IPL sides from same source in a different paint code and get them sprayed if you have the hook up on a paint person and still come out ahead.

Where is this GB for the AK rear diffuser?? I'd love to get in on that

 

That is a crazy deal for the IPL bumper. Like you said though, it's not my favorite. With that being said, I have only seen pictures, so maybe it looks better in person.

I'm really ready to pull the trigger on the side skirts, but I would prefer to have the factory paint match. I'll have to find a place that has them for a good price.

 

Contact https://www.facebook.com/santos.music as soon as you can, invoices have been already sent out to the people involved (had nearly 32 people at last count) and once they are all sent out today, the special rate is over (unless you can organize another 20 people). Here was the initial post, it was for whatever reason taken down by a mod in the Infiniti G37S public group (no one knows why as it made no one money, wasn't a vendor post, etc...but oh well)



^ Sewell is your best bet, for right now at least (and maybe get a local dealer to price match if you can, then avoid shipping cost, but be hit with tax--sigh). Or wait til they come back in stock at Grubbs and perhaps the promotion for accessories will still be going on.

 

That is a sweet deal on the diffuser, too bad I like the V1 better.

I think I may wait it out for Grubbs since that 20% discount has been renewed pretty regularly. I am just hopeful that the price doesn't increase or supply diminish entirely before I can put an order through. Looks like I get to play my least favorite game for the side sills. The waiting game.

 

Yeah I used to be on the fence about the diffuser, but I now want the v2. Too bad I think I missed the GB; wish I had known about it sooner.

 

I like the style of the V2, except the mesh. I don't see the mesh fitting in with any other part of my car.

 

Man it seems like I might end up running the same size tires you are. A set of 245/35 & 285/30 AS is looking to cost at least $300 more. Either that or run summers on my 20s and keep 2 sets of wheels so I can swap next winter. Decisions decisions...
Also how are you liking the ride with the Eibach Pro Kit. I need to drop soon and I'd like to only pay for labor once.

 

I'm very happy with the ride on the Eibach springs. The ride is very comfortable on roads average or better and not harsh on bad roads. I have recently driven in my friend's 2013 G37 sedan without any modifications and the ride did not feel much, if any, better to me. I prefer having the grounded feeling the Eibach springs provide opposed to the floating sensation the OEM springs do.

I don't have any complaints for my tire selection either, everything is working perfectly and no issues with the AWD system. The other problem is that rear tires wear more quickly and those 285/30's are not the most appealing to replace, financially speaking.

 

I wanted to try and make my setup a bit more aggressive, so I added 15mm Project Kics bolt on spacers to the rear wheels. This makes the rear 20x10.5 +20

 

That 15mm made a difference! Looks good!
