Went from Nissan to an Infiniti G37XS

Hi everyone.

Been a guest lurker since September 2013.
Decided to make a profile to be more involved.


I had a 2009 Nissan Sentra SER previously.
Changed into a 2010 Infiniti G37XS in September.

Still a post secondary student so mods go pretty slowly haha.

Current mods on it:
- Akebono front brakes
- G35S 13" rear caliper and rotors
- Takeda Cold Air Intake
- Carbon Fiber engine cover
- AK carbon fiber rear diffuser V1
- IPL 19" Wheels (summer)
- G37S 19" wheels (winters)
- Grounding mod


The Sentra I used to own: (Yes those are IPL wheels on a Sentra )

The moment I got the car home, stock wheels came off right away

Waiting for temperature to get warmer to take some daylight photos. its average of -14 where I am.

Future stuff to get:

- Coilovers
- Front chin spoiler
- Rear spoiler
- Strut brace

And on a funny note. If anyone ever comes across Infiniti seats. This is a possibility and very easy to make.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

I'll post a DIY for the seat. Its pretty easy to make, I was fed up with the constant office chair cushion becoming flat within a year : P

I don't suppose you found a way to power the seat and allow it to be adjusted still?

I'm already impressed, but I'd be *really* impressed if you could swing that.

I was going to power the electronics. But the motors are trashed. And I had to remove some of the railing as the seat is ridiculously heavy.

I previously had a Mazda 6 seat, the benefit for the seat was there was manual adjustment, So reclining made the seat so much better.

Thanks for the welcomes

Finally a couple days with no snow and wet roads in Mississauga. So went and did a quick clean of the G.
