Sorry for late response. Yes event was Zcon. All Infiniti and Nissan or Datsun cars.

Vlsd was was one of the best mods I’ve done so far for the money. The vlsd was upgrade on grading side from 3.35 to 3.69. 3.69 definitely helped. Also my new tire size added 500 or so rpm at 40mph. Car did incredible on track! I’ll be swapping to feal coilovers soon. Oem non sport brakes did there job with the supporting mods.

Finally ran new setup at dragstrip! 12.6@109 mph. Car has so much left in it. 1.96 60ft is trash haha. But I own it and that’s what I ran. Just need to do practice more. I messed up launch by rushing into flashing the stall in the stage line. Doing so in a hurry to try and catch the light. Only problem is when you stand on the footbrake and rev fast it will lock you out of stall and limit your rev to 2k max. If you do it slow, you can use the stall Lol.

Silver dollar raceway

Last minute update!

Barely made it to the pump lol

3620 weight

Fueling up after the race

12.6@109

Nice work! Glad to see you are happy with the build. It's got me rethinking the n/a route. Mid 12's for a daily sounds fun. Especially for reliablility. Thanks for the updates!

Do it! I’m eventually going to add big power. For now got a couple things in motion to finalize the build on n/a side. Should have some stuff going before end of the year. I’ll post the progress when it comes.
Have had a lot of headaches, and spent a lot of money on the car but had way more smiles! This car makes me so happy lol. Highly recommended to do bolt ons/tune/badass tires and go mid 12s no problem.

Well said. Sounds a lot like everyone’s story. I’ve always been happy with my upgrades (some because of you,so thank you!) and I’ve enjoyed watching your build progress as well. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for your G.

Proud to say Matt is from Atlanta and representing us to the fullest. Waiting for you to break the current record. US > Canada (though Luke's car is pretty badass ). lol,

Thanks for the kind words Dave! Lol so that pass is the current n/a g37 record in the states( might be others out there, but no proof submitted). #1 & #2 on the 1/4 mile fabo list are from Canada haha. Lol the Canadians have been very helpful with me, so I am thankful for that. But totally agree, I’m shooting for 12.4x as the car is, I really messed up the launch on that run. Luke has a good setup forsure, lol only going to get faster in spring

I decided to join the forum in quest of finding more information on nitrous installation.
