Hi all my name is Johnny, I'm from the Nashville, TN area. Last week I bought my 2010 Blue Slate G37S A/T with black/wood interior 59k miles. Very excited to say the least. Love the car, clean carfax, one owner, great service history, stupid clean interior looks like only a driver was ever in this car, pretty nice exterior only thing that bothers me are rock chips on the front bumper. Not a huge deal, can have it resprayed if it really bugs me. Just had it tinted the other day, besides that not planning on a huge mod list for this one. I have another car for that. Probable front lip, hid fogs, little stuff like that..

iPhone 5 photos, very pleased with these cell phone shots lol



















My other car







I have a few questions now....

I am getting poor MPG... I know I am getting to know the car and really having fun with it, but I think I should be seeing more. Just put brand new K&N air filters in it. According to the cluster I'm recently around 15mpg. On a daily basis it's just city driving not romping on it, rarely need to get on the interstate. Guess it just needs a tune up.. This leads me to my next topic...

Local infiniti dealer told me i need to have their recommended 60k maintenance done along with a power steering flush, induction service and pcv valve service. Do you agree with this, or is the dealer trying to hit me with something I don't need (yet.)

The shiftable automatic also seems sluggish? I expected the car to shift the second I hit the paddle/**** but it is delayed. If I'm getting on it I have to remember to shift earlier than desired so I will change gears at optimum rpms. Just how these cars are? Friend has an older g35 sedan and seems his is not delayed like mine.

I decided I want the optional sport front lip, where can I find the best price on one? Want to avoid paying dealership prices if possible. Also want to get the oem all weather mats to keep these carpets fresh! Best place to get these? Again want to avoid the dealership if I can. Ones on eBay a good idea?

Thanks for looking!

Love the wood interior with the black leather. It's a different look for the S model.

As for the maintenance, look at the owners manual and go by that. From what I remember, all that stuff is unnecessary.

My wife had a 98 Prelude SH when I met her. I always enjoyed that car...drove like a go-cart!

Sport with wood... wow!! Congrats.

Do an actual calculation on the mileage and see what you get.

Beautiful car!! Time to lower it and throw some wheels on that bad boy! Got a 2012 G37 Sedan myself and I did a slight drop and threw wheels on it. Love this car couldn't ask for anything more! Have fun and enjoy it!!

Welcome to the site, nice G you picked up. Go through a couple tanks w/ manual calculations, but ya, city mpg is not a VQ high point

Yes I love the interior, only one with wood that I was looking at! I'll check the owner's manual and see what it says, just wanted to ask here if someone else had a similar experience. Very cool man, the Prelude SH is an awesome handling car!

Thanks! I reset one of my trips so I can track and calculate.

Thank you, I don't think I will lower this one! At least anytime soon, it's nice being able to drive over anything and anywhere. Unlike my Prelude lol!

Yeah I decided to do manually and see what I get, I'm starting to realize your point. Not even a big deal at all, just thought it would be higher.

Those are shots taken with a phone? I'd like to see what you can do with a decent camera.

You, sir, have a good eye for photography.

Looks like a clean car you picked up. Congrats.

I hate the wheels... but as long as you like 'em, rock on.

I was pleased with the outcome as well!
But thank you, I play around with photography when I have time.

Thanks! I actually kind of like the wheels! Better than other model G's in my opinion.


Any help on best place/price to get oem rubber floor mats???

I just bought a 2012 limited edition g37s and have holes from license plate along with a few rock chips on the front bumper, I was quoted today at $450 and $550 for them to fill holes and repaint it =(

Less than 12 hours after buying her I drove through a light rain/hail storm, only the front bumper cover was damaged by the hail.

Pictures look real nice for a cell. Are you running spacers with those wheels and if you are, what size are they?

JohnnyD

iTrader: (1)

Ouch, sorry to hear that I'd be very upset! Also those prices sound high, might just be me though.

Thank you, iPhone 5 turns out awesome photos.
Not running any spacers lol.

Pic #8. This is how You park in TN ? Nice G, I have Blue slate G coupe with wood interior. Good choice.

Thank you! It's been a blast so far.

LOL. I park on an end spot and always as close to the "end" as possible. That way only one car can park next to me and if they're in their spot and carelessly fling their door open it won't touch my car. I thought anyone who cared about their car did the same!?
