Little bit of almost everything there: bling, handling and driving mods.

You are so-o-o going to love that new clutch pedal assembly. Probably a toss-up between that and the new sways.

Hard to tell exactly, but in that corner pic it looks like you have the stone leather interior on that 6MT. You may or may not be interested in this, but this Winter I put a bit of effort and thought into an aftermarket shift boot that works with our interior.

Don't want to ***** your thread, so here's a link:

installed the pedal assembly....
wow...feels like my 5th gen maxima pedal. extremely soft.
I think I am going to bring the setting back to about 60%.

Also installed the sway bars. set to middle for rear and stiff in front. I went to do a couple runs on a close by entrance ramp...phew..steering response is excellent. Wish i had better tires...smh.

sway bars and pedal should be every G first mods..

as far as the sway bars install...please don't pay anyone to install them for you. Easiest install ever.
For the rear..i removed the mounts all the way to the muffler on one side and dropped it a few inches to slide the bar out.

Nice, looks like there might be a little sign of the rear differential main bushing starting to leak?

I hope not 😬.
I just had the car inspected and the differential oil changed.
I'll clean and monitor

Nice job! Those overlays are a PITA until you have a good handle on how the vinyl works w/ heat & stretch (and plenty of patience). Give a look at my tail DIY, it will look much better and isn't too tough IMO.

Since last post i have upgraded the '11 G37 to a '13 G37 with black interior...cost about $2000 more but this one get certified warranty and 30k miles.

Obviously i've moved all of the mods to the new one...




Although this one had a front plate so got rid of that with bumper plugs.




Also added a front spoiler...

Lol..so after driving the '11 for a month, I got concerned because the car seemed noisier than it used to...i think throwout bearing and the clutch seems almost gone at 48k miles.

I had Infiniti fax me the service records...and in the notes the previous buyer mentioned keeping old tires for racing

That peeked my interested ..since the service records had the previous owner name, I started doing some CSI .

Found a few videos with him racing at Sonoma racetrack and some other track.

I contacted the dealer and expressed my concern and that the fact that the car was used for racing was not disclosed.

After a few back and forth he told me he had a '13 6mt in stock for a few thousands more.

Next thing i'm on the road to trade it.

Only issue is that the previous owner of this one might have been part of Edward scissorhands or Freddy Krueger family. Scratches on the console. (Debating whether to wrap) . Looks like he was placing his metallic iPhone 4 or 5 on the dash and right on the cigarette lighter cup .

Anyway this one sounds more mechanically sound and comes with the CPO warranty.

Nice driving though...lol
