Zach/Connie's (a.k.a. EuRTSX) Infiniti G37xS Thread
 
Just purchased her on Saturday. She is a 2010. has 14,500 miles on the ODO, in pretty much amazing condition. I'll be doing a proper shoot on Saturday.

She's going to be modded very lightly, not because I've lost faith in modding, but because I have one hell of a nice monthly payment. :rant:

Congrats dude! Love that you're loving it.

esco115 01-18-2012 06:36 PM

Congrats man... welcome to the nissan/infiniti line...

I was looking at the G37's before I got my maxima, but its smaller inside and that I didn't like...

Canadian144 01-18-2012 06:48 PM

Congrats on the purchase, she is beautiful. My mom has an 09 G37x coupe... wish my parents had held out one more year for the '10s, she could have gotten the G37xS coupe... but ah well. Enjoy it! It's hard to get bored of the power!

This was her after being smashed from a 18 wheeler tractor trailer flatbed.

They're not that bad, we put 20k down, but the interest rate killed me because I've only been building credit for a year and a half.

Thanks guys.

There's been a lot of talk about Infiniti's 7AT transmission and its harsh downshift from 3-4 and delay to shifting gears (making it especially dangerous on the freeway) but after driving it on the freeway for 3 days, it's really not that bad. It's like having a really temperamental girlfriend. Need to drive her right to make her happy.

cmschmie 01-19-2012 05:59 AM

Ouch.
Were you in it when that happened? If so, you okay?

(I ask because I thought that airbags only deployed when the car is on, if this is not the case, then please forgive my ignorance)

justnspace 01-19-2012 07:02 AM

OMG Connie, you love the upgrade, dontcha!?!?!?!

Mr. Maker 01-19-2012 07:55 AM

Drove one recently. Very impressive. Congrats.

SHYUperman 01-19-2012 08:29 AM

It's really not too bad. Keep it in DS mode too and you won't have too many issues. I've dealt with this tranny for almost two years. I've also had the TSB done that reprograms the TCM and installs some bypass. That has helped.

PM if you have any questions about your G, I'll be happy to help.

The pictures of said event is in this thread. :doh:

crazyasiantl 01-19-2012 11:31 AM

i was curious about the 7AT, if the fuel economy gains were worth looking into an +09. But then since it is a new tranny, you gotta wonder about reliablilty ( i came from a 2G TL :rofl:, so im paranoid about that )

for those of you G owners, is there a different feel to the 5AT/7AT?

sorry for the threadjack

Aisin built tranny so I have no doubt it's reliable. 7AT gives better highway fuel economy, but also gear hunts in lower speeds. DS mode solves a lot of these issues.

FWIW, I'm averaging about 17-19mpg mostly in traffic.

of the 400 miles a drive a week 350 of them are highway, so a 7AT might be the way to go

On my last trip to SoCal, I averaged 29mpg highway. They are great cars, a little tight on space. I'm a big dude though. My wife is 5'8 so she's not tiny either. CTS-V or M56S next time lol.

Yumcha 01-19-2012 12:19 PM

Well, the FX has a 7-speed tranny. No issues. :shrug:

Congrats on the new(er) car.

I have had no issues with my 7AT.
The harsh downshift from 3-4 does not exist in my world.
Now if you're in DS on the highway in 7th gear and switch to manual and downshift, it will drop down to 5th and will give you a slight budge. Nothing crazy or "dangerous".

CCColtsicehockey 01-19-2012 01:31 PM

You should try on your brothers coupe wheels.

S14 n Tsx 01-19-2012 01:55 PM

congrats! I thought you bought a coupe, not a sedan. :tomato:

Very nice car! They are def a sleeper, no one will expect an N/A V6 to be so damn quick, my legacy had a hard time pulling away from one.
