Wifes new ride....2008 G35X

The 4Runner was getting up there in miles (and abuse ), wife decided it was time to upgrade. We looked at new G37X's but we found better value on a used G35X.


































Recent pic of the Frontier:





Changed all the interior bulbs to LED's, tuned with a Superchips tuner, bumped the timing and idle up, removed WOT restrictor, added OEM fogs, and picked up a set of LE wheels/tires from Craigslist ($500 bargain, mint with 10 miles on them...

Classy looking car!

Nice upgrade from the 4Runner indeed.

Although I'm not too crazy about ergonomics of the instrument panel, with the font being a bit cartoonish for my taste and the fuel gauge being disporportionately too small compared to the speedometer and odometer. Infiniti should have carried over the old gauge design IMO.

Funny when we were looking at it, I remember some guy just got a G37 with the same color combo


Russ, she does let me drive it. Damn thing moves pretty good. I couldn't find a scratch on it, and it was a one owner that had a two year lease.

I need to change the interior light buls to LED's, the stock lighting is pretty weak...

Nice car! It's been one of the cars on my next car list. Don't know if I want to trade in my FX35 for a new G37S though. Hmmm. Great looking car!
