I miss my graphite shadow G. I could wash it and it would still look shiny 2 weeks later. I wash my malbec black G now and it looks dirty the next day.

I did NOT realize the KAD was like that; guess I've been taking that for granted. The car was FILTHY in this shot. Tons of bird poop and a thick later of pollen but looks great in the photo.

2008 G37 AKA—THA “Blackbird”
Here are a few shots of my twin turbo G37 daily driver and daily driven 25 miles each way to work and back . Has twin Garrett GT28 turbos and is running ECUTEK eng management set up by AWD Tuning in Flower Mound Tx . Currently has two maps . Map A allows for premium pump gas and up to 9psi of boost which equals out to 446 RWHP and about 367 lbs of torque still bag 15 mpg combined . I usually run the B map which is set up for 97 plus octane I run 100 octane by filling up with premium and adding about 16 ounces of Boostane professional in this configuration it makes 508 RWHP and the Ecutek system does a great job of maintaining a max boost around 11.5 psi. Which keeps the torque curve nice and smooth peaking at a touch over 400 lbs of torque at 5500 rpm. It actually averages about 17.8 mpg on the 100 octane and runs so much better when it’s turned up . It has the airlift 3p/3h suspension setup and I’m running the TSW 20x10.5 rear wheels wrapped in 285/35/20 continental rubber and 20x9 fronts with 255/40/20 fronts . It is indeed daily driven and the twin turbo set up was installed in 2009 before it had its first oil change it has 39574 on it today and so far the only repairs have been a alternator that was taken out by a p/s leak dripping into the alternator. I did replace the plugs at 35k and every fluid at 30k miles . It lives on the Nissan Ester based synthetic 5w-30 and it gets changed every 3k . It definitely doesn’t get babied and see’s it’s redline almost daily . So these cars can and will survive twin turbo forces induction as long as you don’t get crazy . My tuner says with meth/water injection set up he feels he can “safely” pull another 100 hp out of it so that’s what I’m the works for next
