New here, long time lurker

Hi y'all!

This is kinda my first post on any forums in a long time. But here is Evil Ava, my 09 G37.

Ive put about $40k into her, constantly modding. She's track ready, I run her on road course.

Last dyno was 408. She's N/A fully.




As you can see, got a spiffy purple sparkle job, quite a bit of bodywork too. Lowered on teins, have the edfc pro, all solid bushings everywhere, i think i have eibach fron sways, no rear sway. Custom straight pipe exhaust. Oil cooler, trans cooler, upgraded p/s cooler, the works. I know i know, the wheels are from a 350z..but they fit super super flush, and handle great! 0-60 in 4.7 on a bad day. (yes, on a track, not open road).

I have quite a list of things left to do. I primarily joined because im looking for some parts i cant seem to find at any nearby JYs.

Nice to meet y'all!

Oh god, the list of mods is massive! I'm away from my computer for a while, but as soon as I get back to it, I'll open up my tracking list and copy it over. But a small summary: New trans with valve body mods. (did the dipstick mod forever ago, i didn't know y'all didn't know about it), fully rebuilt (pretty built) engine, various stillen parts, 1000cc injece, e85 converted, self tuned, a couple of physical tweaks to the vvel, grounding kit ran through the ampmeter (gonna source a bigger one soon).

Im trying to figure out a dual pump system for each side of the tank..

Eh, and i kinda skipped the roll cage for the time being.

I believe in luxury and fun together. Why sacrifice the nice, for just racing haha.

Never heard the term "hard parker" before. Nah, i DD her, and weekend warrior the track. Well, up until about two years ago when i had a career shift. But i used to run at MPH in Nebraska. A couple times at kearney drags. The past few years ive been trying to get into the Sandhills open road challenge...but thats kinda a quick fill.

Alright guys and gals!

Here is the official list (some things omitted intentionally, cant let all my secrets out)

SPL TITANIUM Rear Camber Arms
SPL PRO Front Endlinks
SPL PRO Rear Swaybar Endlinks (removed with sway to balance handling)
SPL FKS Front Lower Arm Bushings (Front)
SPL PRO Front Impact Bushing
SPL Eccentric Lockout Kit
Front Upper Camber/Caster Arms
Stillen Setrab oil cooler
Custom Power Steering cooler
Stillen Gen 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit
Tein Flex Coilovers with EDFC Active Pro control system.
Custom Transmission Cooler.
"Knight Rider" Light bar. (cuz why not)
OBVIOUSLY Custom aero and body work.
Dball2Pro 3x starter
350Z Wheels
Uprev ARC Tune

A few specs for my engine:
Custom Forged Pistons, 11.5:1 cr, .020 over
Carillo H beam rods
ARP rod bolts
l19 Head bolts
5 angle valve job
nismo oil pump
Ported intake/exhaust runners
high rpm valve springs
vvel modded a teensy bit. (do not recommend, played hell with the ecu for the longest time)

tuned for e85 (suprisingly still getting knock about 6500 ish), rev limit 8200

7at transmission, newest infiniti firmware, valve body work done by an old friend. (honestly, not great, but much better than stock, still semi slips in 3rd gear, shifts QUICK and smooth)

i think its 255s in the rear? i dont remember without looking. i have a severe oversteer issue, tried darn near everything to remedy. vdc is a nice feature when pushing her hard.

Im currently battling high G fuel starvation. im working on setting up dual pumps. will have to see how that goes.. dry sump oil pan also on the list of things to do.

exhaust is a custom stainless piping. 2.5 inch, straights, running through a borla X pipe muffler.

thats a basic list. heres a few teaser pics i spose!

Thanks Misa, great list of upgrades, you've got some high end pieces for sure! Now you've got things going hard in the fwd direction looks like a BBK should be in your cart.
Look forward to more of your postings, nice work!

That could be arranged! I'll record an idle snip tomorrow, an ARC launch control snip, and maybe a WOT run if i can get time. Ive had people try to record with cell phone, but its so loud it cuts the entire recording.

No promises on the loud ones, but i can definitely get an idle clip.

Update:

Akebonos installed, new spoiler, new wheels and tires! Pretty pic included. Also dual fuel pumps. One on each side of the tank. BTW THAT WAS A PAIN to do.



20x11 -55 rears with 295/30-20
20x9 -35 fronts with 255/35-20

Kuhmo Ecsta ps91 all around.

Had to modify traction arm and mounting bolts to clear properly. No rubbing but VERY VERY close in the rear.

Alignment:

Front camber 1'
Caster 6'
Front toe in .15' total
Rear camber 1.8'
Rear toe .20' total.

Set up for street for now since track access is limited.
