2008 g37s 6mt with 86k!




Random cat that lives outside my house but appreciates pets and Nissan i guess.

Hello, anyone! I'm What's gets?. I just bought myself a g37s 6mt a week ago and have been loving it. The interior is 8/10. Its currently on Eibach drop springs, rear camber arms, eBay drilled/slotted rotors, and some Niche Targa m129 wheels(10 1/2 rears). My plans so far are to put a 1.5 way diff in it and hopefully keep it stock besides that. I think the car is seeping a little oil from the top of the timing cover. When I get time I plan to take off the timing cover have a look, and replace the oil gallery gaskets with EPS tuning ones. Cheers, I look forward to learning together with y'all!

Get a separate oil pressure gauge to monitor that stuff.

Thank you! I think the car is at the perfect balance of low but still easily street-able.

The VLSD has held up nicely, but i'd prefer a clutch type LSD. I like a diff that is predictable even when hot!

Welcome to the Forum! Nice S model, great plan for beefing up the rear end and preemptive maintenance...in the off chance it isn't the timing cover actually leaking, if you haven't already done so, out check out the valve covers right next to the top of the timing cover... the front of the valve cover the gaskets call for the use of RTV under the rubber gaskets to seal and sometimes develop a leak there...if thats your problem its a much easier fix...if not your plan should take care of it

Hey, appreciate the info! After taking a closer look I think I will try both solutions.
