Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Hello all so I been on this forum for about almost a year now and I'm on my second G37 this past year, just recently sold my coupe witch I loved and was a sport edition lowered on eibach springs and had 20in MRR Wheels but I had to sell since I Have a baby on the way and found it more convenient, my sedan much newer 2011 with only 25k miles when I got it compared to the 2008 with 92k miles when I sold it, miss the Sport package especially the akebono brakes and the vlsd! Hopefully soon I can buy some bbk in the future when I Save up! First I tinted my windows and also got my headlights customized with gloss black housing and silver shroud and then I went ahead and just lowered it about two weeks ago on Swift Springs! No camber kit but I got my alignment and here are the specs. Don't have a sheet to upload since it was done by hand not computerized but the shop is alignment specialist for years and have a good reputation here in AZ witch is called Jacks Auto Alignments.

Rear: Negative 1 3/8th rear right and left
Front: negative 1 1/4th left , negative 1 3/8th right
Toe: 1 3/8 left. 1 3/8 right

Nice start Riccio, look forward to what else you've got planned!

Thank you and yeah I can't wait for other goodies in the future soon to come!

I LOVE the headlights. Where did you get that from? Very sleek. Sucks you couldn't get the Sport but those wheels are classic too.

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Thank you I got my headlights done from Raul G Custom in Fontana,CA! He does great work in So Cal! Also yeah I really don't mind the wheels I like them so far and they'll be changed soon but I'm really enjoying the car as is and little by little changing things up! If you want to look him up he has a website you can look up on google and also on instagram @raulgcustom

Nice! I have a 2011 Journey as well.
Here's a quick and dirty.

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Thank you I like those wheels! Nice looking liquid platinum you got there ;-)

Looking good so far! I'm in the same boat as you. My Swifts will be here Saturday!

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Thank you and you will love them, they ride great barely any difference feel than original springs! The mild drop is great and balanced! Good choice!

Love the headlights. :D ( did mine the same color too)

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Thank you! The color goes well I should be getting my grille wrapped in about two weeks to match the headlights!

Looks like a great job there^^^
The gloss on that finish looks very good. How long did this take and what was the cost if you don't mind sharing that info.
Only thing I'd change would be the front grill emblem, the very front I'd go w/ the same color as your car body. Not the whole emblem, just the face.

Looks good, any plans to fill the front bumper holes? I'd also second doing the badge face in silver, it gets washed out in all the black right now.

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Yes getting bumped holes!

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Thank you and it took about 8 hours, I got it done while I was working, actually I was debating on leaving the emblem chrome but I really like the whole black look but the good thing is peel able so when I get bored I'll get it back

Ricio's 2011 G37 Journey Sedan
 

Cost me 216.00 actually best quote I had, I called several places and it was 400 to 500

It's been a while but new upgrades coming this upcoming month, going for dual halos switchbacks, 3.0 STI-R lens, xb35 6500k bulbs! Made the purchase today and saved 20 percent with the retrofit source since I spent 200! So happy

Nice deal! Did you get the butyl tape too?

Yes I did all came out to be 181.60 with the discount!

The only regret I have about the DIY light job was not testing a few different spacing options with the STiRs. If you can assemble the lens w/ a few different spacing sizes and see the difference in cutoff at 15 feet give or take I'd mess around a little w/ that. My cutoff is clean and crisp w/a nice blue edge (10x better than OEM) but I think just a bit more spacing would have sharpened it to perfection.

I didn't mess w/ trimming the shield, but that will take it to an even sharper level if you've got the time.

Thanks yeah I'll keep that in mind!

Some updates, headlights getting worked on as of now by Jon in Ohio does great work, so first picture is showing my housing getting melted I won't have lines anymore since it melted as shown in picture but in having them sanded down, from what I heard it has occurred in the past with sedans and the black shows more than the chrome, Here are some sneak peeks at what I am doing, couldn't hold off ! Also the diode dynamics getting replaced with morimoto xb35 due to flickering issues the DD was occuring with my 2011 sedan witch when I bought it wasn't stated in the website that they were issues. Sti-R lense is replaced already too just waiting on paint tomorrow😬

Lights looking good.

Thank you!

Those are going to look great! Did you decide on the spacing for the STiRs?

Thanks! Since I'm not doing the customization I have decided to just leave it as is

Progress is being done, awesome work from Jon! Can't wait to see the results

Looks really good, keep it up!

Here are the end results! So stoked to get these in my hands! Will post pics of it installed once I receive them!

Here is a link I went with dual switchbacks for turning signals!

Wow, that's some great detail work they did, looks like they put on quite a show too. Nice choice!

Ah, those were yours. He sent some progress pics and I started second guessing what he did on mine �� Very nice!

Nice he does such a great job you will love them!

Thanks Brad and yes he does an awesome detailed job! The quality is superb!

Finally received the headlight, bumper installation should be done later on today, had to try one headlight out! Also did the top city lights to a cool white sylvania led

Installed! These Morimoto xb35 hid are so nice! Also the clear lense makes so much of a difference

Here's the video of the turning signals installed, the guy decided to take the bulb off since it would interfere with the halos, I didn't have time to buy a switchback for the turning signals and the resistors.

Here they are installed!

Looking good, goes great w/ the rest of your G. Post a review of that work in our review section if you have some time :)

Here the output of the 6500 Xb35 HID And plus the 3.0 Sti-R lenses

New mod today! Had a shop install my Blue Bat Opaque Black GTR style Taillight Overlays and in loving it so far!

Very clean work matches the spoiler perfectly. And I'm sooooo in love with your headlights definetly on my must do list! :biggthumpup:

Thank you Kenny!

Love your headlights very unique but cool too. Not tacky at all. Love em.

Thank you!

Seriously some of the sexiest headlights I've seen man!

Thank you so much for all the information you texted me. Truly a great member on the forum willing to go over and above to help out another fellow member! :biggthumpup:

So it's been a while but this week I have added the eBay knobs which I'm really happy about the looks in my interior ( pic is attached) and also later on today I'll be adding a Stillen Gen 3 CAI to my car so I'm stoked to have that installed! Stay tuned!

Here it is Stillen Gen 3 installed, can't wait to test drive it and see how it does! Install was a pain in the butt and instructions were horrible hut we got through it with some modifications.

Nice updates, seems like you had a busy day.

Thanks Yes was along day waiting but I didn't do it myself I am bad with DIY but the installers were really good they mainly build engines and work with Nissan a lot. I think I have my future mods I want to do is full ark catback, berk high flow cats and a 3.69 vlsd and hotchskis sway bars and be done with it. It will take me long due to not having extra funds but hopefully by next year and get them installed all at once to save labor

Picked up some Motordyne ART Pipes last night and also just ordered Top Speed Y back Exhaust this morning! So excited can't wait to receive these and have these installed

Should sound great if you stick w/ the OEM Y (and from that other thread that sounds like your plan). Looking forward to this.

Yes I'm sticking to Oem y pipe! Thanks I'll update once items are received/ installed

Just got my Diode Dynamics Tail as Turn and they are such a nice quick and affordable mod, install took about 10 minutes!

Just got my Motordyne ART Pipes and Top Speed Y back installed and I am really happy with the results! I wish the tips didn't have to be clamped on but the clamps that came with the exhaust were crap so we used other ones that were better! Figment was good and love the sound!

Here are the videos
Revs:
Start up:

Looks & Sounds good, wish I had better speakers. Nice upgrade for sure!

Thanks man the video does not do it justice! I am very impressed and satisfied with these mods! Felt the power difference as well mid and high rpms

Adding Motordyne XYZ Pipe to my exhaust to complete the catback! Hopefully it sounds good!

Here is my new wheels!
19 x 9.5 255/40/19
19 10.5 285/35/40

Can’t wait! Weds Sport SA15R

Wow! Nice set there^^^

Do you have a link or name for them? I want a set

Transformation here’s some shots of my updates

Great upgrade, looking proper all around!

Next up finally got my akebonos and powder coated! Can't wait to install

Going to look great behind those new shoes!

OP looks great with the new rims!!
I also have the silver and may i suggest a black roof wrap, really gives the car a very modern look!

Thank you! Yes I been wanting to wrap it just have too many things going on Financially soon it will be wrapped

Update: akebonos added, 3.69 VLSD added and Whiteline bushings car feels solid. The gears are a great upgrade best upgrade I ever got and felt the biggest difference on the 7 speed auto! also added grounding kit made by my buddy and also ported upper intake manifold. Currently etuning with Jon From Z1

So much win in this setup!

Caliper color looks great with those Weds! Very surprised you didnt keep the blue them under the hood to match.

Thank you sir!

Thank you I have contemplated but since I already had the intakes hoses red I just went with the red ground kit lol

Oil Temps after pulls have been high up to 255 and usually around 240. Let's see how this 19 row Setrab oil cooler with thermostatic plate helps. Plus I live in AZ and it gets up to 115 in the summer so should help! My buddy mounted it for me

Quick update had to part out the G and trade it in! Overheating kept occurring and it got to the point that I think the heads went bad! Well I stayed and swapped some parts over to my new car 2017 Infiniti Q50 3.0t. I want to say I miss my G it was great and loved the mods I did but I'm glad I went to the boost life. All I have right now is a ecutek tune and is much quicker than my G. Enjoyed everything in this community and will miss my VQ scene

Gorgeous car Ricio! Enjoy it man!

clean setup

Thank you! Appreciate it

sup man... The video that is posted here of exhaust clips, that's your channel? If so Im now a subscriber. Kepp up the good work

Sort of lol just videos I uploaded here and there! I'll probably start uploading more here soon! Thanks!
