WOW this looks stellar, believe you're the first to install the newer GTR OEM wheels, which IMO are Nissan's best factory wheel to date.
Commend you for pulling off the rear wheel fitment, wouldn't be my taste to run that much camber, but the day a set of all fronts are up for sale, I'll grab them in a heartbeat.
I get all that, and good for you getting toe in spec. But my point was that severe neg camber can transform your otherwise fine looking sport sedan into a clown car. All things being subjective, of course. My rears are at -2.2* give or take, and that's hovering on the edge of acceptable for me.
Welp, good luck with that.
Ahh, ok. I thought you were giving me the ole speech on tire wear. Your opinion that the camber is severe is fine, I don't consider it severe personally. If it's a clown car, then it's the nicest I've seen. And I love it!

Any more pics would be much appreciated!
Thank you! I think I am the first, as well! In my search I also never found a G with these wheels. I think I just found a couple pics of someone test fitting one side of them. I bought these planning to buy another set to make a square set of fronts. After reading and searching here while talking to others with experience, I decided I could probably make the staggered fit to my liking.
Definitely will be posting more pics! I took a lot of photos today. I'm going through them now picking out the keepers. I might post some more tonight, if not it will be sometime this week.
New owner here. Bought it exactly 3 week ago. 2013 G37x. Knew it needed tires upon purchase so figured I would upgrade while I'm at it. Scored some 19" coupe wheels on CL, got them powdercoated, and put on some 245 michelins all around.
Looking to keep the drivetrain and suspension all stock as it is a daily, but will do some appearance mods to spice it up a bit over time. Really want to get a front lip and gloss black wrap all the chrome pieces. I had a 2007 FX35 in this color previously and color matching was a nightmare. Anyone with moonlight white get a front lip without doing the bumper/lip/blending? Any lucky stories out there?
Car as i bought it. Moonlight white with black interior. P/O already tinted it!
My new to me 2013 G37S 6MT with only 41k on the clock. Got her from carmax. She's a 1 owner, Texas home her entire life. I'm coming from a 2000 P38 and a 1997 SC300 5spd.
Edit: I got her 4 days ago. Love it so far. Has the navigation system and all the bells and whistles. Seriously such an awesome car.
Thank you for the kind welcome. Trinity*** although I do understand the urge to spell it the other way.
Edit: Damn it. Now your spelling is making more sense. I was going off The Matrix trilogy. Big fan. Oh well
lol, my bad, I called out a new member for spelling Infinity, so maybe I did get some subliminal "correction" lodged in my head. But anyhoo, nice G TrinitY

That would be pretty clever if you spelled it that way, and just Triniti, so that people can address you by "name", sort of. If only you were in a conversation with a moderator.
2013... last year for a great car. Starting in 2011, the 6MT came stock with the Premium Package, so yes, you have all the bells and whistles.
Welcome to the forum. Lots of mod opportunities for a new-ish 6MT.

Welcome! You could buy an OEM lip already painted with the factory color from a dealer, often times some dealers sell them online at better prices. Buying direct from the dealer ensures a perfect fit and perfect color match.

Going from 17" to 19" rims already changed things up. Quite a bit, I suspect.
But in so far as keeping things "stock as it is a daily" , aftermarket swaybars will have zero perceived impact on the quality (comfort) of your ride. However, they will have a significant impact on how well your car handles the road. Makes absolutely no difference that your car is a DD.

My hotchkis sways definitely increased the NVH on my car after install.
