Those seats are beautiful. Love the plaid. Going to look amazing with the carpet back in.
Good photos.

Thought about cleaning the engine bay of my latest acquisition I bought yesterday (2011 G37 Sedan). PO kept the car in great shape and maintained it well, but the engine bay was filthy.
Pulled out a rag and Purple Power and got to it, but didn’t get too far. Was wiping down the coolant expansion tank and without using too much force my finger broke through the plastc. LOL! That stuff was very brittle all over, actually. Was able,to pick up a replacement from local dealer (Grubbs in Grapevine, TX) for 85 bucks, so not a biggie.
Easy swap and the car is good to go again.

You sure did change the look of this car. The black and red just didn't do any justice to how it looks now. Yes it might be boring when comparing to other members however unique when rolling around.
Great call on the carpet removal, it was one of those "Hmm, not too sure about this" however the red is what brings it out. The type of look you could only pull with solid colors.

I also saw running these in the rear on stock springs should bring you down 1/2":

I've been doing some more research and I am seeing the 370z rear springs are much shorter and will drop the G too low. I'm seeing people using 370z front springs and modifying the rear spring isolator by cutting away 3/8th-1/2".

After thorough research, I did find one post that seems to solve this question about the nismo rear springs. It give about a 1.25" drop, which is more than I'm comfortable with. Hmm, what to do now......?

You could drop it with Swifts then raise it back up again with coil spring spacers.

I was looking at this solution for $17..

I was hoping to keep this inexpensive, that's why I went with used nismo springs. If I get the swifts, then that's more money plus I'll have to buy LCAs too right?

LOL! Maybe so since the hood shocks were tired, too. Guess these things either eat them a lot or then I’ve just bought the two out in the market that needed them since I had to replace them also on the 07. Just replaced them yesterday.

- Run stock springs in the back and shave the rear isolators by 1/2" or buy ES isolator that is shorter than the stock isolator by 1/2"
- $17 solution from above to kick the height back up 1/2"

I found something really cool that would have a lot of applications, not just for nismo springs. Its a company that sells different urethane spring rubbers in varying strengths so you can fine tune your spring rate and ride height. They're pricey though.
Here's a link to the product and also an article about them.

Car came with only one remote, so I bought a new remote and key for 30 bucks off Ebay over the weekend. Received it today and had it programmed/cut by a locksmith for 58 bucks. Not sure how much a dealer would charge, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be anywhere close to that. For giggles, I might even do a third one, just in case...
