New Car, Third VQ; 2012 G37 Journey-Sport

Added a third VQ to my stable. I'll be taking delivery of a 2012 Blue Slate G37 Journey-Sport sedan today. Been eyeing the G37 sedan for some time and finally test drove one and enjoyed it. I'll get some pics as soon as it get delivered to the house. No major mods plans since I have my Z and I did choose to lease. Just can't wait to enjoy it.

Key Features:
~ 3.7l V6 328hp, 269tq
~ 7-sp Auto w/ Drive Sport and Paddles
~ VLSD
~ 14"/13" Big Sport Brakes
~ Driver 12-way, Pass 8-way powered heated leather seats
~ Bose 10 speaker w/ subwoofers Audio/Nav/Bluetooth
~ Rear Camera and sonar

Update: 15-Apr-13

OK... Before everyone starts thinking I'm already building my engine... I'm not! However I am keeping my G and not going to trade it in. I've been looking/researching online and I'm going to keep this build pretty simple. I have my Z for fun and frustration. LOL None-the-less, I've came up with the below list.

I'm going to upgrade my Infiniti's lighting. Going to swap the OEM headlight bulbs for LightWerkz 6000k bulbs. Also upgrading the fog lights to HIDs with 6000k bulbs as well. This should light up the road greatly.

It features a powder coated or chrome finish with a polished, powder coated, or chromed lip. The MD3P is available in sizes ranging from 18x7.5 to 20x16. And since each wheel is built to order, Forgeline can offer special features like custom offsets and a choice of center finishes.

Gunmetal Center, Polished Outer Rim/Lip & Gloss Black Inner Rim: 19x9.5 +40 & 19x10.5 +45

Going to run a 255/40 & 284/35 BFG Sport comp-2.

For reference OEM set-up is; 18x7.5 +45 225/50 & 18x8.5 +50 245/45

Have to give BIG THANKS to Tony @ Deviate Motoring for giving me a lot of good information on Forgeline Wheels. We were going back and forth with HREs or Forgelines.

I've spent countless hours viewing different set-ups and playing with the wheel/tire calculator. I think this will be perfect for the everyday driver without any concerns. :thumbup:

Nice upgrades Robert.

Thanks! Loving the VQ37. :tup:

Just ordered a set of H&R Trak+ 5mm Spacers. Ordered them in black to since my inner wheels are black. Attention to detail. ;) When I return home again I'll add them to the front wheels, netting a +35, and see how they fit/look.
