Off topic (as always), but not sure where else to post.

Thoughts on this setup?



At around 19 lbs (depending on width) on 18", it is a good light wheel that I'm interested in and the price is under $1k.
I think it looks somewhere in between "not bad" and "pretty good if you take a 2nd look", but not "wow".

I'm interested in weight reduction that does not kill the G37s luxury styling.

 

It's very clean. I'm sure to the average person they wouldn't realize that it's an aftermarket wheel. If that's what you're going for Id say go for it.




In other news... possible new exhaust?

 

c'mon Kirk, you got a freaking Meisterschaft CBE ! You shouldn't be even considering anything else!

On the other hand, I've never heard of that exhaust for our cars.

 

Just received my FI HFC's. Install to come soon.

 

does any one know if the Meisterschaft fit the AWD?

 

From the pics Ive seen yes it will fit, they use the stock y pipe no and even if they didn't it'll fit. I have seen many RWD cat backs bolt on to the AWD, hence mine was for RWD G37 Coupe, I had it on my X coupe and now on my X sedan, Rear mufflers for the sedan needed messaging but not for the coupe bolted right on. Either way if you have a sedan(think you do) it'll fit just fine

 

When I stand behind my car a song always pops into my head.... Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round! Just sayin'

 

Yeah. It'll fit.

 

The difference between the sport side-sills and the non-sport... I never thought that was significant. But when you're side-by-side, it's actually very obvious. Sport sills, FTW.



Does anybody know if there is height different between the sedan non-sport vs sport side skirts. I know the sport skirt have a bit of a curve comparing to the flat face non-sport skirt. I want to know if the sport skirt sit lower to the ground. The reason is Im in the process of buying a front lip to my non-sport bumper. I saw one journey sedan at my university car lot with a front lip. The lip actually adds a bit of height to the front bumper making the whole car out of proportion. I dont want my car to look like a bulldozer with the front lip, so it would help if the sport side skirts are taller than my to even things out.

 

^think the height difference, if any, would be marginal. Only thing noticeable would be the design, and even that is a fairly subtle difference (IMO)

 

^^ I had no clue the side-sills were different between non-sport and sport... damn I need to compare side by side..


On the other note, about 8 weeks left on the MXP Y-pipe to be built and shipped and the tone of the exhaust is going to be definitely deeper like I was expecting while hearing the MXP on buddy's 370Z before getting mine.

 

You didn't know that? Well then, you're going to be surprised when you see it first-hand.

 

Triton V3 amber turn signal LEDs successfully installed yesterday, and all I gotta say ia DAMN they are so freaking bright comparing to the SMD switchbacks that I had (bought for like $60 on sale).

 

Mike, did you ever get the VLED reverse lights installed?

 

Oh yes, right I did ! I completely forgot I was supposed to let you know about that, what was it exactly that you would like to know Kirk?
