2012 G37x - New Guy in Manhattan, KS

Everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read this. My name's Thomas and I'm currently located in Manhattan, KS. I recently traded in my 2011 Maxima SV Sport for a 2012 Infiniti G37x sedan. I'm extremely happy to join the Infiniti, G, and AWD family. I'm eager to start modifying once again and was wondering what all everyone suggests? As of right now this is what I'll be looking for and any assistance would be great:

- black roof overlay
- front lip
- rear diffuser
- interior LED swap
- intake
- drop
and a nice set of 20'' staggered wheels.

If anyone else has some some suggestions I'm all ears! Excited to be here!

-CaptainRooke

Welcome!
How does the Maxima compare to the G? Do you notice a big difference moving from FWD to RWD (I know you got the X, but it's a RWD biased system)?

Welcome to the site Thomas, glad you found us & congrats on your new AWD G. As far as your mod list, just take a good browse through the site as there's many pics & details for all the listed mods. The options for lowering your AWD are a bit more limited compared to the RWDs, Swift springs are popular and there's a new Fortune 500 coilover that's in the works so I'd stay tuned for that one. As far as staggered wheels on an AWD you must be extremely careful on your new tire sizing. Check this folder in particular for some AWD setups and shoot me a PM if you have specific questions.

Keg,

I'm loving the G compared to the Maxima. The biggest difference being the transmission... I truly hated the CVT. As of now, I haven't noticed much of a difference other than that, and the fact the interior is quite a bit nicer aesthetically. The exhaust note stock is better in comparison as well.

Yuck on the CVT! I forgot that the Maxima went that well. It's not often that you'll read that somebody prefers the G transmission to their previous car.

Keg,

Yeah the CVT was trash. I absolutely hated it.

Congrats on the new G! I'm in a G37x sedan as well.

Are you a KSU wildcat? If so, my condolences. ;-)
