Rear offset is +34, hence the need for -2.7° camber, but if I was doing custom wheels I would run a +41 = +43 offset with 10.5" wide wheels in the rear.

I would love the hear the Tanabe mixed with Invidia, as I installed custom Y pipe with 3"IN to 2.5"out and little bit roar is there but wouldnt mind little more maybe will change the mid pipe as well, its just police is really strict in my car for sedan, I got away easily in my 370z with FI& Indivia with even ART test pipes but sedan they give problems a lot
I really liked the sound of the Tanabe/Invidia "Frankenstein" exhaust when I first installed it, but after a couple of years I've grown tired of it. Looking for something a little more subdued. Planning to switch the exhaust back to just the Tanabe cat-back I think and also going to swap the JIC coilovers for Tanabe coil overs. Basically just looking to soften up the entire car.

I wonder why they would pay more attention to the sedans there? Here it's the opposite... they coupes get all of the attention (both good an bad).

Mainly because sedan pops out more in the crowd if modded. Recently they are after cars with loud exhaust andother thing is coupes are considered sport so which make them think its stock like that.

Man Docaam awesome thread! I've seen your pictures of G but missed this thread somehow.
I gotta say that blue on your G is awesome! Definitely one of my favorite blues. Good choice! Car came out awesome with paint and all the kits.

And I got a question, what did you mean you wrapped your grille and foglight covers in CF?? looks like real carbon fiber! ???

Thanks man

Yes Front grill corners, fog covers and middle lower grill is wrapped. Its usually done with CF cloth then some resin applied and then clear coat. It is real CF just done by wrapping rather then vacuuming

I have always loved the mod choices that you have made on your car, but that green is not my cup of tea. Props for continuing to push the envelope though.

The green's not my thing either, but I do love my GTM Supercharger, so I say you should install it. I'm thinking you will enjoy it a lot more installed on the car then laying around on the floor. ;-)

Incidentally, is your G an automatic or 6 spd manual?

I know but only thing worrying me is this is my only daily drive and I drive a lot on daily basis around 150-160miles and not sure how the engine will take these freeway driving in the heat here. Gearbox is 6Mt

I painted only one side with this green, it was more like a testing which Carbonsignal wanted to do, to see how long this paint lasts, as they used one german company brake caliper paint and this green. Its similar to plastidip but supposedly better quality as its specifically for wheels.

I feel coloured wheels looks better in person if done right then black
