It's pretty expensive at $600.

Search the forum, you'll find a bunch of info on where to get them (cheaper) and how to install them.

If you were going to mod your car anyway, then the sport package really is not necessary.
1. you can upgrade your sways with hotchkis sways
2. you can switch out your OE springs with coilovers (which is what i would recommend)/ aftermarket springs
3. with a drop you will need a rear camber kit and i highly recommend getting a front control arm
4. tack on some GTSpec underbraces
boom, 4 steps and you will have a G that rides like rails that will perform way better than the OE sport set up

yes: http://g35driver.com/forums/v36-diy/...t-paddles.html and try riverside infiniti

Riverside Infiniti sells the kit for around $200, IIRC.

First mod I plan on doing.

Yeah, that always seems the case with OEM accessories. Good advice.

i'd also suggest you get grounding wires. they help immensely with cutting down the shift times on an AT.

ok so, self-admitted non-technical noob here.... I've seen countless references to "grounding kits". What exactly is this, why would/should it be done, and what is the result/end-goal?

Thanks!

I wasn't aware the sport came with a different "steering" package - adaptive? shows you how much i did my homework -_- anyways, sport seats really aren't that great. i have a little under 2000 miles and they're already showing small bits of wear (i'm trying my best to lift as I get out of the car, and find myself constantly conditioning them - the passenger side's a goner...not like i tell my lady to get in a certain way, although she does try...).

The upgraded "sport" wasn't worth it at the time of your purchase...but since it is now, you have the extra $$$ to spend on mods to BETTER your G Journey > Sport.

No, the tech package comes with the 4-wheel active steering. And I think only with the RWD models. But there is a slightly different steering ratio with the RWD sport models vs non-sport. "Stiffer" is the term, I think.

Read this(Betty's Garage). Opinions vary on here about their effectiveness. Do a search and you will find lots of info.

is there alot of trade off between the sport and non sport as far as chassis vibration on driving on rough pavement? i was thinking my non-sport chassis on the g37x was already firm and i already get a good rattle on rough pavement.

Many people that buy the sport package trade out the wheels/tires. The sport breaks are nice, but, if you are not going to track the car, probably don't need them. If you do track the car, you'll probably want to upgrade them. Paddle shift upgrade on your car, I thinks costs around $300.? Suspension, again, many people upgrade the sport springs, bars, etc. So, bottom line probably the limited slip and seats would be the main keepers from the sport package, IMHO. You can use what you saved in price toward your choice of upgrades, some of which you probably would have done anyway. So, not too bad. :-) You have a really nice ride.

And how would more horsepower do anything for you on the street? Just comparing to your comment about the brakes.

The sport brakes look super cool and pedal feel is excellent. This was a nice move by Infiniti to add this option to the sedan and not just the coupe.

Not trying to pick on you, but the S version with manual trans. does put more power to the wheels. There's less driveline loss.

The sport package is a real bargin and should have been an easy decision. He’ll spend far more on an aftermarket BBK and LSD + installation. And he’ll still be without the sport seats, sport suspension, front bumper, quicker steering ratio and summer tires.

There is no way I would bother with this car without the sport package and manual trans. option. Unlike many competitors, Infiniti actually put together a real sport package for the G. You have to spend $60K to get a LSD in a BMW (i.e. M3).

Yes, the standard RWD sedan steering ratio is 16.4:1 vs. 14.7:1 with the Sport package, except with the X. The AWD Sport package does not include the tuned suspension or quicker steering ratio. I have an xS and that's the biggest disadvantage to me; lack of the quicker ratio, which isn't an easy 'fix'. At less than a grand invoice price add-on it was still well worth it to me for the paddle shifters, seats, wheels, etc.
