Newbie on the way

Hey guys, I plan on buying a 2009-2010 G37x either coupe or sedan (either is fine by me) here in Seattle, WA next month.

Thought I'd introduce myself and wanted to know any good tips as far as being new to the skyline world.


-What website(s) would you recommend for getting such things as tuning for the G37 and what expected gains I will get

-Where is best place to order a CAI for the car

Is there anything these cars have that are often faulty or likely to need repairing so I can keep an eye out.



I'm a previous member of LincolnvsCadillac and spent a few years racing and modding my Lincoln LS (Car + 15k invested) but time to get into a new project plus the Lincoln aren't the best as far as engines go, and I love the 370z but no rear occupants....in case I ever have kids.



As far as about me... I just rescently turned 25, I'm a medical professional and do physical therapy, fitness training, and nutritional teaching. I work 50-60hrs a week and I am deciding between the Infiniti G37x/BMW 335xi as my next car but considering the fact how overpriced and "lemon" BMWs get...I'll surely go for the G.


I thank anyone and everyone for friendly responses.

Definitely get your parts here from the vendors. For local stuff, check this out on Facebook: PNW Nissan and Infiniti - Seattle, WA. Lots of guys there that can point you out on where to get a tune. Welcome Aboard!

I do know it will be faster than my nodded Lincoln, at most I'm running 14.1 in the 1/4 mile and haven't found a full track for timing.
