Installed my Valentines Day gift today....red GTR start button. Delicate little bugger to get in. Now I'm just waiting for my Diode Dynamics Tail as Turn module to come in. Ordered it back on Jan. 20th and they said they are still waiting on one component to complete the next batch for sedans as of yesterday.

I figured everyone knows what the GTR start button looks like. I'll make sure to post some pics when I get home and have my camera available.

On another note, I woke up this morning to Diode Dynamics tracking information in my inbox. Yay!
Valentine's day gift installed!

Thanks, man. I love Barqs too, but that wouldn't have worked with my red tank. Almost did the Coke thing, but there's already several guys running around with "Coke can" air tanks. I've also see a couple done up to look like Heineken beer cans. One of my favorite so far was someone that custom painted their tank to look like a roll of Life Saver candy. Pretty unique IMO.

This is great. I eventually want to get air suspension and this would be something fun to make it unique. Ill have to start thinking of a good idea for mine and ive probably got plenty of time.

Installed Hotchkis Sway Bars

Installed the rear Hotchkis sway bar on my g37x sedan, purchased from user jfisher, great dude and good sale as I know he is parting out.

as for my initial impression, to echo what everyone here seems to say, if you have an "x" just do it, without question the best mod i've done to this car, the in-corner handling is night and day. the endless body roll and understeer is just gone. Perhaps a placebo but I swear the car feels more on center as well, flipped off the TC and the controlled oversteer is fantastic.

No pics as I did in a time constraint but I figure most here have seen the bars by this point


EDIT: On the front sway bar, which setting is the firmest? innermost or outer hole? thanks

Finally got my test pipes on! I attempted it myself...but it was too daunting. I paid a shop and they did a great job.

Inner most hole would be the firmest... ie. the hole closest to the actual sway bar.

Yes, choosing the hole closest to the sway bar will inherently reduce the flex of said bar

Took off the mask to reveal the beast.

Just getting my headlights/taillights done. Hopefully it will be done by next week.
