Bikezilla's 2013 G37xS Coupe Build
Better late than never. Much of this is retroactive but I'll try to capture all my upgrades and Mods with pictures as they are available.
Like most build threads this is an evolving process, and like most of my threads it will be frought with typos and spelling errors. I'll clean as I go but will start with a bulk burst. I acquired my 2013 G37xS Coupe in October 2015. I bought it from a dealer over 2hrs away, but it was pretty much the only VR I came across while shopping. It turned out to be a great deal as it was better equipped than all the others I had seen and had a better price. It initially came with ~18.5k miles on it. I put A LOT of miles since then as it is my daily driver and my commute is 1hr each way. *shrug* it's a car and I have to pay the bills. Sure I'd like to have kept the mileage down but I just consider it more time to enjoy the car! Frequent feed and car meet coverage on Instagram "bikezilla" Come join the flow! ** Special Props ** Thanks to the MyG37.com community Especially Brad for all the help and advice on lowering and fitment, and many other things. Thanks to Kenny for the enthusiasam and inspiration, Rochester for the engine bay tips. Nods and pounds to the Squadd, Kenna, Amanda, Roger, Evil-G-nius, TTV36, Ed, Van, Ben (AKA Goals), Mike_Save6MT, TimCook, Zahy and Kenny (when he's around).
