The powertrain looks very exciting. Redsport engine with a MANUAL and probably a lighter car than the Q’s will be a magical experience. My only issue is that grille, the yellow color isn’t helping matters. Maybe it would look better in a different color. Nonetheless i like all the other angles, especially the rear. The nismo version could make the front look better. Can’t help but notice those big brakes shocked

The M272 and M273 aren't great for tuning, unless you're willing to spend up to $8k+ for a Stage 2 Kleeman tune (M273). Most tunes won't add up to 20/20 hp/tq to the M272. Even with that, a stock G37 still takes it easily.

The M276 is much better. M278 even more.

granted the G is no doubt faster. But i have to say E350 is no slouch either. Stock vs stock a G37 will not get away from me in a E350 unless in a drag race

Lol, a G37 would eat an E350 for breakfast.

considering the G37 is tuned i assumed it was a tuned E350 also

HeavenlyBang:
I'm more impressed by the G, tbh. That top-end is ridiculous. It's 50 HP short and still keeps up pretty damn well.

was it a E550? I was surprised because i thought it was E350

You're not going to fix a poor chassis and terrible steering with bolt ons, chief. Power has never been the problem with those cars.

there’s no fixing a disconnected steering i agree grin

, but poor chassis? I disagree, maybe to those that intend to take it to the track. The only thing i’m really worried about is the old transmission

Think twice about the Q60. Pretty much everyone says it's terrible.

from a tuners perspective pretty much everything he complained about can be fixed with a couple of bolt ons. Infiniti has always been about value for money compared to germans. When the time comes, the one i get a good deal on is the one i’m getting.

Sure did. Such a great platform for tuning; seems to make even more power then the N54 without the reliability issues.
Not sure why anyone would want to by an M2/M3/M3 when they can get the 40i versisons for cheaper and make even more power. Doesn't help that the B58 cars sound even better than the M cars imo.

Sadly those cars are still pricey as hell.

there’s absolutely no reason to buy an M3/4 right now. The B58 will dominate, especially since its the same engine in the supra. They’re very expensive but we’ll wait for crashed ones grin

. I wanted my next car to be Q60 RS, now i’m thinking 240i cry

Car Talk › Re: Life And Times Of An Infiniti G35 by king406(m): 1:09pm On Jul 22, 2020

HeavenlyBang:
Yeah, I know him. That 3.0T is a tuner's wet dream.

Edit: Oh man, those B58's can pull. I think they get to 600HP with just a tune, intake, and exhaust.

you saw what that 340i did? I’ve been daydreaming about an M240i since i watched those videos

Oh. Check out the YT channel too, it's excellent automotive journalism.

will do. Check “boost in motion” on YT, he’s making infiniti enthusiasts proud by racing hellcats, 911 turbo’s, Mclarens with his tuned Q50

I'm planning on the following:
1. Completely decating the car,
2. De-carbonize the engine,
3. Replace ALL fluids in the car.
4. Detail, buff and wax it.

Next month's plan.

nice, how do you plan on decarbonizing the engine?

I hope to do the following by the end of this month;

1. Repair passenger side fender
2. Replace front bumper with sport bumper
3. Install OEM style spoiler
4. Install axle back exhaust
5. Debating on installing lowering springs and 19 inch black wheels, or just paint the rims black and call it a day.

It is. I get 21 mpg highway, though.

you should be getting around 24mpg highway. Get a tune up, even a GTR wont average 11mpg city

Yeah, the 7 speed is supposed to be a big upgrade for fuel economy.

still, 11mpg is abysmal.

That's very interesting, since I'm typically getting 11mpg.

May be time for a tune up.

something is definitely wrong. What year is yours?

19mpg going light on the throttle, about 17 when i race myself from traffic light to traffic light grin

After some gentle highway driving, i filled up my tank and distance to empty was 441 miles on 20.4mpg grin

. Though the mpg hasn’t been reset for weeks until i was about to take this picture. I’ll do an experiment and see how high i can average on mpg
