Infiniti G37 2010-2013 Sedan Mesh Grille - C-mod Grilles
Forgot about that one, be interested to hear what you think of it if you get it.

That C-mod grill looks nice & the price is really good. Would be a good candidate for a wrap. Not sure if I like the two versions for the 07-09 Sedans though.

I woke up this morning with your idea in my head, and it finally clicked. I do happen to have a 2x8x6 piece of lumber that I can bevel for this purpose.

Something to play with after the springs go on. Dropping the car off now. (no pun )

USPS delivered the Cobb post MAF silicone intake tubes I got in the classifieds.

I now have a nice to do list for my G:

Vinly for the window trim already cut and ready to go on.
MTEC shifter spring
6 qts of 75w90 for transmission flush
Motul RBF 600 brake fluid
Cobb intake tubes

Still waiting on a shipping date for the invidia cat back.

My wife has been traveling all week and im home alone with the 3 year old and 6 month old. Should be plenty of equity to cash in for some time to bond with my car

I'm cautiously optimistic. Polyurethane shifter bushings made a noticeable difference on my Legacy GT and cost about the same, so who knows.

It occurred to me the other night that this is the first manual car I haven't put a STS on in over a decade. I probably should just bite the bullet.....when is father's day???

This little guy has been on my list for a while. Want. Want. Want.



At the very least, this summer I will be buying the NISMO Titanium Shift ****. Been wanting that for a while now, too.

Personally, I've been all about the B&M Short Shift Kit. I've used it on 3 different vehicles and have always kept going back.

Not sure how he classifies it as LNIB if it's been used for 3K miles. And no pics. Meh, I'd rather buy this new.

You can get a **** without the STS, and vise versa. Choman just put an aftermarket **** on his 6MT. It feels nice, but short. I'm wanting something tall (like the NISMO ****).

Oh come on he did, and didn't even mention anything to me at the meet?! Is it the TK Hebi Bebi that he once mentioned to me he would get ? I've been wanting to get that **** too out of all the shift ***** I seem to like that one but it's quite pricey

Yes, he had it at the meet-up. I sat down and went through the gears. It felt... both good, and weird. Good, because it felt heavy and secure in my hand, but weird because it was so stubby.

Maybe if you checked out all the cars more, instead of sulked.

Next time, Mike.
