I think "Nissan" should be red.

I think you are wrong. :stirthepot:

Arrived today or yesterday:
~Mishimoto Hoses
~Password JDM
~SRP Racing pedals

Going to get them installed this weekend, and hoping soon to have an exhaust installed.

Password JDM:

Parts are installed and pictures will arrive this evening. Overall for the price I am not 100% impressed, it definitely adds a nice touch to the engine bay but the results of the carbon fiber is not without problems. In the clearcoat there are a few places where there is none or did not fill in properly, they are very minor and the only way to see is if you are holding the pieces in hand and looking but for the price you pay I was expecting a bit better results. Pictures will arrive tonight or later today if I get a break from work.

Install was pretty easy for the battery & fluid covers, but the radiator cover was a bit tighter of a fit. Two main issues we ran into were the hood prop clip and getting the radiator cover over it and getting the last two clips into their respected holes. Overall it took 10 minutes to take off the old and put on the new, and once they are clipped in correctly they fit nicely and look very good.

Here are my awesome pictures, I really suck at taking pictures:

I like the rad cover but the other covers makes it really hard to get to batt, fuse, fluids etc.... Looks nice though. Also the engine cover would look nice with carbon or a gtr i-manifold conversion from GTM. You only live about a naighborhood away from me, I am suprised I have not seen this car alot more.

Thanks for the comments. :D

Radiator cover is the hardest piece to put on.
Fitment is very tight and they added a piece onto the stock one, you cannot get access anymore to the windshield fluid with it on now. That part of it seems nice but could use some more work or maybe not include it. Getting access to the top two is extremely easy, three pop pins and they are off, maybe 10 seconds longer then the stock ones.

I have seen a few G37 with carbon fiber engine covers and was not impressed, just to much carbon for my taste. These pieces were sort of bought for fun as some added "flare" to the engine bay for shows without over doing the carbon fiber. The radiator cover with these additions, plus the hoses sitting in my house should pull it all together I hope.

Never have been a fan of spray painted parts. No offence to the the work its a great job who ever painted it but not my thing. Cant wait for my rims and bbk to come in. Might work on the sound system after this, or maybe even some carbon parts too. I see the mod bug has you as well. :)

On a dyno dynamics and in 90°+ weather, I believe it has been concluded our car is anywhere from 250-280 depending on the dyno & weather. 250 being dyno dynamics and 280 being dyno jet.

I bet those CF parts add about 30 more whp. Maybe even 50...










looks good, though. I like my Titek CF radiator cover, too.
