'08 G37s (IPL bumper, ARK exhaust, BC coilovers)

Hello everyone. I just bought a G37s last week. It's a black, 6mt model with the basic mods listed above. Also has some interior trim in carbon wrap. Engine was untouched and well taken care of in stock form which is exactly what I wanted.

Need to take measurements on the coilovers and make subtle adjustments there, maybe corner balance down the road. IPL bumper has some minor issues with a big of warping by the wheel wells (I'll get pictures later and where it connects near the hood I need to fix some stuff). Overall it's in great shape and I'm happy with it so far.

Here's a pic from my trip to Utah to visit family.





To be honest, I wasn't planning on getting anything nearly this nice. Wanted to dump my money at my old Datsun back home, but my beater daily broke down beyond what was really worth repairing and the Datsun still needs a fair bit of work before I can really call it road worthy, so I figured I'd just buy something nice already.

Here's a shot of the Z the last time I really had it out. Don't mind the fact that it's a bit taken apart, I had just finished doing a big chunk of the rust repair.

Welcome to the forums and congratulations on the new purchase! Looks great and that view of the mountains in Utah in the background is absolutely gorgeous!

Need some spacers asap, looks good so far.
I love my Ark exhaust, paired with some high flows and it's clean but dirty

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

Yeah I definitely need to get some spacers. Want to get ride height adjusted first. It was sitting too low for my taste from the previous owner. Adjusted the fronts slightly, but still need to adjust the rear and maybe take some more measurements up front.

It's pretty dang close to what I would have wanted. To be honest I would have rather dumped the money at the Z but it being back in Utah and not in Washington forced me to buy something so I figured I'd buy something I really enjoyed and I stayed in the Nissan family.

What kind of spacers are people running on stock tires? I don't want to mess with the tracking, but I know some people move the rear tires to the front and put 275s in the rear.
