Redline

Knightmare — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:36:21 GMT

Hi Guys, new here to the site and to Infiniti...

I have read conflicting information, so I wanted to ask the experts:

What is the redline on my engine?

I've seen 7000, 7200, and even 7500 rpm...

Well, what's the truth?

Thanks in advance,

John

New to Infiniti, new to the site

Knightmare — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:16:34 GMT

Hi All,

I just got my first ever Infiniti/Nissan product, a new 2010 G37x Coupe, and I love it! I just traded in my 2008 Acura TL Type S, had a Mustang GT before that, and a BMW 330 before that.

I started researching some mods for my car, and came across some threads here at the site, and figured I'd join up.

Very cool site here. :JAMIN:

See you around... :driving:

Opinion on XXR 518 Wheels - Black Wheels

Croat23 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 05:01:13 GMT

I'm a soon to be owner of a Liquid Platinum 2010 G37XS Sedan. The one thing I'm not crazy about are the wheels on the Sport Sedan, so I'm already considering a switch. I came across these XXR wheels and tried searching for some pics of them on a G37, but have had no luck - has anyone seen these on a G37? If so, some pics would be great.

I'm considering the flat black or polished black wheels...but not sure if they'd suit the sedan (too tuner-ish?) They kind of remind me of the previous generation TL Type-S wheels, which I was a fan of. I'm thinking black wheels would compliment my soon to be tinted windows nicely :)

Any pictures of other black wheel options would be fantastic. Let me know what you guys think...thanks!

Grille

danfog67 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:58:37 GMT

So recently I got a g37 coupe in black. I am getting the windows tinted and I wanted to know how to get a different colored grille. I was thinking black probably leave the infiniti emblem as the chrome/silver and get the other parts in black. If you have any other suggestions for color I am open but I really was wondering is how to get the grille painted or where to get a new grille. I live in Saint Louis, MO if that helps.

FEELER: Northeast Holiday/Charity Meet

WPPJR30 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:02:07 GMT

FEELER: NORTHEAST HOLIDAY/CHARITY MEET

*I know the Northeast/New England/Massachusetts section of this forum does not get much action, but I am going to post here anyway with the hopes of some positive response.*

:thewave: Hello...

I realize it is early to start thinking about the holidays, but I just want to throw out a "feeler" to see if any of the G owners from the Northeast (and anywhere else) might be interested in a charity-themed meet. I did this a few years ago with some local Z guys and it was a success. It was very last-minute and not incredibly well-organized, but still a good time. Hence, the reason I want to start planning for it now. :o That said, member TomieG and I thought it might be nice to put together something of this nature this year.

Anyway, I'd like to get a group together around the holiday season (no firm date set at this time). It's a great excuse to get enthusiasts together one last time before the holidays and the snow for a few drinks, some food, conversation, and pictures of our cars... But it's also a great opportunity to exercise some benevolence, goodwill, and generosity. For this, there is no better time of year than right around Christmas. :)

Depending on the number of members who would be interested, what I would do is contact the restaurant and have them set aside seating for the appropriate number of guests, but also see if they could set a aside a certain section of the parking lot for our rides. Again, this all depends on the number in attendance.

Other than that, what I would ask of the people in attendance would be to bring a contribution. A couple of us will gladly accept your donations and see to it that they reach the proper charity. Every Christmas my office is active in this sort of thing, so I would be happy to handle this. Only one is necessary, but my three suggestions for a donation/contribution are:

1) Any canned goods you can spare for a food drive.
2) A new (small) gift for a Toys for Tots/underprivileged family drive.
3) A monetary donation that will go to the Salvation Army.

*Any contribution is greatly appreciated. One can of Spaghettio's or a donation of $5 WILL make a difference.* :icon44:

At this juncture, the purpose of this thread is to get a rough idea of people who may be interested in attending. Of course, this time of the year is busy with family, shopping, traveling, etc... I realize it is hard to predict where you will be or if you will have plans 2+ months from now, but we're simply looking for some feedback/suggestions, as well as numbers. We do not expect you to commit 100% at this time. Feel free to throw out suggestions and opinions, as well as your thoughts about dates.

My suggestion for a date would be a Saturday not too close to Christmas.

November 20, 2010

OR

November 27, 2010

OR

December 4, 2010

Location: The Charlie Horse Restaurant/Sports Bar in West Bridgewater, MA (The Charlie Horse - West Bridgewater, MA)

Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

We're really hoping for a good turn-out here. Anyone and everyone is welcome. For the G owners/enthusiasts who aren't as close, we hope that some consider making a little trip for this meet. This will be a great way to welcome in the holiday season and, for many, a "last hurrah" for their G until Spring 2011.

Thank you. :biggthumpup:

- Bill & Tom

I will start a tentative list here. Please add your name to it if you think you'd like to attend... Again, it is still very early so you are not expected to be able to make a full commitment at this point...

IPL G coupe

carl212 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:46:08 GMT

Hey people, is this true about this new IPL G coupe?
348hp, 276lb? if it is, big deal! :icon43:

I don't get it,
it just sounds like what a 2012 or 2013 g37 should have at the least. You have a new performance division and that�s the best you can do? I think infiniti needs to look at what the letters M, AMG and V,mean. I have a 2008 G37 coupe, great car, but this IPL G coupe is an embarrasement, if true.

Hey Infiniti, ever hear about Nissan GTR? I'm sure they could lend you their engine, that would be a real IPL G Coupe !! :JAMIN:

Road Noise

hottoddyg37 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:16:57 GMT

I have had sevral issues with my 2009 G37 Sedan Journey, and have worked through most of them. One big issue which remains is excessive road noise. The car came with Goodyear RSA tires which cupped almost immediately at 1,800 miles. The Infiniti dealer blamed the excessive road noise of my car on the cupped tires.

So, at 16,000 miles, I got rid of the Goodyear tires and installed Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires. The Michelins are excellent in every respect, except that they are loud on many road surfaces. The dealer and one of his best technicians and I went for a long ride last week, and there is almost no doubt that the excessive road noise is coming from the tires. The newer the road surface, the more road noise I have. When I brake, the road noise gets even louder. Roadhandling, cornering, braking, wet weather handling are all great with the Michelin Primacies.

Any advice on where I go from here? The good news is that the new tires will be with me for a long time as the wear rating on the Michelin Primacy is pretty good. The bad news is that these tires and the road noise will be with me for a long time unless I find some other solution or change tires again. I inquired about undercoating, but the tech siad that it would not help much if at all. Sometimes the road noise is so loud that it is hard to hear the stereo unless you really step on it.

The tire pressures are correct. Maybe I should just "drive on", but it seems pitiful for a luxury brand to have this much road noise.
