Anyone know which parts/materials in particular make the G sedan relatively heavy?
My last car was an Altima which was bigger and weighed like 500lbs less, what gives? IS it just an aggregate of junk? "Luxury" stuff? Just curious, these questions are probably very ignor-able

I e-mailed Mike at Redline about the same issue you had with the boot and also the fact that their link to instructions for the arm rest cover just takes you to the directions for the shift boot. He said they would give me another discount on the parts if I wrote up new reviews with pics. (I will see how motivated I am as they are already pretty inexpensive) The eta for the parts is today so maybe I can install everything tomorrow on my day off if I have time.

FYI... I just got shipping confirmation on the shift boot for my 5AT in my G today, so I should be able to let you guys know how that turns out in a couple of weeks. I'm currently running an M56 shift **** in it, but thinking if switching it up again. Any thoughts? New Maxima **** maybe? I did check out the B2 designs **** you have and really like the look of it, but not sure about going with a fun metal ****. Wish he offered something that was partially wrapped in leather so it would feel nicer when I rest my hand on it (I'm a manual driver at heart).
Haha. Nice! At first I thought it might be an amplifier, but then I noticed the R2C logo... They are really ricing up the air filters these days!

Was your Altima a V6? The difference in weight is about 200lbs. The chassis on the G37 has a lot more reinforcement (just look under the hood of both cars), there is a lot more sound deadening, a big rear diff, drive shaft, much larger brakes, full power seat on the passenger side, many more parts to the front suspension, etc. It adds up quick
But makes sense that the G has a lot of extras over the Alti, and it does offer a very different driving experience, so the weight is a welcome compromise IMO

Hey everybody! I purchased a 2012 Vibrant Red G37X sedan as my first car a little over a month ago. I have no idea where to start with modifications. I was thinking a tanabe axleback exhaust?
I'd love to drop it on swift springs and put some 19's on it but I'm not ready to shell out that kind of money yet.
Any tips?
