Why is that? Do you track your car often? Also how was the GTM kit with respect to the mounting placement, bracketry, ect. I am considering a 19 row and was looking at the Z! motorsports kit or the Stillen. Any information you are willing to share would be appreciated.

I would absolutely love to read a well-written analysis of the Hotchkis sway bar kit as compared to the OEM setup on the 6MT. Pretty please?

"whiteline rear end link"?

@Zack... pics and impressions on fitment and feel when installed, please.

they make adjustable replacements. the stock ones tend to fail often with upgraded sway bars.

If you've been researching this, is that the consensus opinion... to replace the end-links in the rear when upgrading the sway bars? I wonder how long the OEM end-links could go before being compromised?

BTW I bet no G37 is rocking these:

lol. I guess I'm built differently, but I feel that when I pick my wheels for my car it's because of me. Not because I saw my same exact car with wheels I like. It feels much more personal when you design your car from your own thoughts. Not based on something someone has already done. Originality goes a long way with me. My last car was very original. Although the parts were common, I customized them to be very specific to my tastes.

It's beautiful nonetheless. Love seeing Red G37 Sedans.

That's the reason why wheel manufacturers make one and only one set of any given model rim, so that the lucky owner can be unique.

Prob the reason the unique and special wheels cost so much. Some can afford it others go for options that are less but run the risk of having lesser cars with the same wheels.

I live in a city where a large number of people change their wheels and I don't want my car looking like someone else's in town. It's just my opinion.

Just got mine 2 days ago: 2012 G37S 6mt in Liquid Platinum ... Love it but definitely need to look into that clutch pedal mod because im coming from an Evo and its very difficult to get used to this one



Quick question for you guys, the dealer told me the engines on these are not built for synthetic oil ... is this true? Because i dont know how comfortable i feel not using synthetic oil ???

What a bizarre photo. It's like you're going through the back gate between Mexico and Guatemala.

Infiniti Dealers will use Mobil-1 Synthetic, so IDK what your guy is talking about.

haha thats not me btw loll , its my broker

And about the oil , that is what the infiniti dealer finance manager told me, he said thats why you need to change the oil every 3750, non-synthetic because these engines are not build for synthetic ... Now im just confused lol, gotta do some more research to be sure i guess
