I understand nissan is the parent company of infiniti and nismo is the performance division for nissan specific vehicles like the Z, GTR, etc but as an Infiniti owner shouldn't you be putting IPL labeled parts on your car?
There was never such a thing as a Nismo G.
It's like putting a "Type-R" on a Acura TL
Or a "TRD" on a Lexus IS
Or a"S" on a Volkswagen Jetta
Volkswagen has R-Line.
Lexus has F/F-Sport.
Acura doesn't have anything currently but used to be Type-S (RSX / 07-08 TL)
I just don't understand and it seems very silly to put anything Nismo labeled on a Infiniti G37
And yes i know the 370z and G37 are pretty much similar cars that share the same drivetrain. But still...

Anyone try these front switchback LEDs? Supposedly load resistor no longer needed as they have built-in "equalizers" ... just wondering if we have members with firsthand experience with these (quality, install, brightness). TIA

I passed along my somewhat less than enthusiastic thoughts on the neck pillows, with pictures, to Redline Goods. They're going to put the idea on the shelf. So... that happened. Or didn't happen, as the case may be.
As my dad used to say, "Swing and a miss, kid."

Installed the Mirror Mount radar and Mirror Tap kit. Nice kit for $35 shipped. Also installed the same style blind spot mirrors that I have used for over 15 year.

Most people set their side view mirrors so they see the side of the car. This actually creates the blind spot and makes the interior rear view mirror completely unnecessary as you will see the same thing in both mirrors.

Just a little tip I learned from racing so take it for what it is worth: If you do not want any blind spots back half way into a parking stall between 2 other cars so they are both in your blind spot. Set your side mirrors so that you can see roughly half of each car in the side mirror and the other half in the rear view mirror inside the car. Presto! No blind spot and you can pull those little mirrors off. It will feel weird driving around at first because you have depended on the little "blind spot" mirrors for way too long.

Ive always used the 'leaning' method. Lean to the left, adjust mirror till your car disappears, lean to the centre of the car and do the same on the passenger's side.
