New 370GT owner

Hey all

I'm from Australia, but currently working in Japan.

I just got my 2007 Skyline coupe a couple of months ago with the plan to import to Australia next year. It's a grey 6mt with factory fujitsubo axleback exhaust. Previous owner had put on 22inch rear 21inch front black and orange lowenhart rims, made it undriveable, rubbing under acceleration.

Just did a gymkhana event the other day, and after realising how quiet the car is, I'm researching intakes and exhausts

Will post pics at a later date, currently on the tablet.

Welcome. It's good to know that there's cars in Japan that are horribly modded by clueless owners too. Got any pictures of it with those hideous wheels?

so sick...always great to have a true 370GT on the boards! Welcome!


Glad the previous owners traded it in....that's a disgrace to be driving these cars around w/ 21's & 2's...seriously

A true SKYLINE! Lets see the photos! I don't mind when they are skylines but I hate when people put skyline on an Infiniti.

Hey all, thanks for the welcome.

Here are some pictures of the rim. I pretty much took the rims off straight away and put the stock ones back on (only one I could find in a hurry).

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8aFxFyu9QgF4UegE35cM87EDjRwDFccmdwhgjx6J_6M?feat=e mbedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-loxwtxRmuD4/TruaWvGBKZI/AAAAAAAAALQ/zhhy3n8Ncos/s400/IMG_2254%252520%252528Medium%252529.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/xfuzion/DropBox?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMjAnvmjgq-bpAE&feat=embedwebsite">Drop Box</a></td></tr></table>

The truck that delivered the car could barely fit the belt that straps the wheels down...

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/lTToI-X7S6HHMbk-8SQGpLEDjRwDFccmdwhgjx6J_6M?feat=embedwebsite"><im g src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6v80YPFqWX8/TruauEQxTPI/AAAAAAAAALo/SYZK0e0lxls/s400/2011-09-29%25252009.52.57.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/xfuzion/DropBox?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMjAnvmjgq-bpAE&feat=embedwebsite">Drop Box</a></td></tr></table>

Massive neg. camber required to fit it in there.

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Oyr-HzDG39xJCAZmCtPZH7EDjRwDFccmdwhgjx6J_6M?feat=embed website"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-EUplgZrq2jk/Truastt0fcI/AAAAAAAAALg/VGLyUfoE98M/s400/2011-09-29%25252009.52.47.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/xfuzion/DropBox?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMjAnvmjgq-bpAE&feat=embedwebsite">Drop Box</a></td></tr></table>

The previous owner also painted the inside, I don't mind the colour scheme.

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/2wlaSMpmIdxv1Qe4IRvV0LEDjRwDFccmdwhgjx6J_6M?feat=e mbedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vQUhl2LNK4U/TruaVv2-IYI/AAAAAAAAALI/JRHkvOrWUzI/s400/IMG_2250%252520%252528Medium%252529.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/xfuzion/DropBox?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMjAnvmjgq-bpAE&feat=embedwebsite">Drop Box</a></td></tr></table>

I took this picture in Nagano with the stock wheels on.

<table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/d1dwRyjUqWU7z7-NwDd09LEDjRwDFccmdwhgjx6J_6M?feat=embedwebsite"><i mg src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HmE3DXF9H4M/TrubTsVjqqI/AAAAAAAAAL0/lWqs9eaFV0Q/s400/392117_10150350597784912_579429911_8438286_1142886 645_n.jpg" height="267" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:11px; text-align:right">From <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/xfuzion/DropBox?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMjAnvmjgq-bpAE&feat=embedwebsite">Drop Box</a></td></tr></table>

Gymkhana with 22inch rims was difficult, to say the least... I also didn't have the handbrake set up, so couldn't really break the rear tyres loose at all. Still great fun though.

Got an impul front spoiler coming next week, and about to purchase R2C intakes from the good ol' US of A.

The worst part of all this is that I have to revert back to stock in order to import into Austraila

Next on the cards, look into JDM exhausts and wheels.

I'm so glad yo rescued that poor car from the fate of having to belong to an owner that would do that to it.

Whatever you do, please don’t rebadge it as an Infiniti G37.

Which intakes and exhausts might you be interested in?

I'm leaving the red interior, I quite like it actually...

I've already got the amuse exhaust and the r2c is at the post office, waiting for me to pick it up... I might get a y-pipe later on though
