Shades Rs Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 After a busy year or so doing a house renovation I have sold my 350z and was debating on getting a 370z but with 2 young children and a miss's that likes to go out for spins on the weekend what do you guys think of the Infiniti G37 coupe? A 4 seater with all 370z running gear as far as I know. Has anyone experienced one first hand? Something a little different I guess but kept within the same family.

Kev Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 A member on here has a white one. I see it regular as he lives near my dad. Can't recall his username but he had a orange 350z roadster before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Rs Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Just something im debating at the moment so would be great to have a chat with him if he's an active member. Not a bad shape on them either although front end looks slightly boring? a replacement bumper, grill and possibly headlights will be a must but struggling to find mods in this country.

LRF4N Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Test drove one a while back and was very impressed at both the drive and build quality. If I could've afforded one back then I would've had one If you could source an IPL kit you would have a very rare car here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades Rs Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 IPL kit does look nice in certain colours, just a change of bumpers and skirts? im guessing wings/arches stay as stock? talking of wide aches etc.. check this out, may be a little OTT but certainly has presence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Stanski had one I think. They're on my list of candidates along with the Toybaru and XKR. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/83521-pappas-got-a-brand-new-datsun-infiniti-g37s-pic-heavy/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades Rs Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Just read Stanski's post, nice little read too! and as SkylineV35 wants to see a modded one.. Watch this space! Edited April 14, 2016 by Shades Rs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 My dad has a white coupe g37. I feel like its a more grown up car than my 350z was, but that might just be because my dad has one. Unfortunately I've not had a chance to have a drive of it yet but its nice from the passenger seat. More usuable rear seats than in my GT86 if thats important to you, I can fit in the back with ample leg room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianphampton Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have the convertible, which is really the same as the coupe but the lid comes off. (It's a hard-top which stacks itself in the boot.) I see you're in Wales - I'm Manchester, so if you're North Wales I'd happily meet if you wanted a closer look. The engine is very nice (320hp) and pulls well, but they only do sequential auto gearboxes so you can drive on the paddles or in automatic. It's OK but not quite as direct as a manual box. (They do manuals in the US) I think it's more of a Grand Tourer than a true sports car. It's very refined - and is a genuine 4 seater, I found the original set-up was so quiet the only way you knew what revs you had on was to look at the tachometer - and I don't like taking my eyes off the road for that, so I've modded the exhaust (AAM HFC and Y pipe, then I had JP exhausts build me a backbox) so it sounds a little better now. If you really feed her the beanz she drinks the jungle juice, and (like the 350Z) she's pretty heavy so you have to be heavy with the right foot if you want her to respond. If you want something a bit more civilised and with 4 good seats then you'll like her, but I have to admit there are times I miss the directness of selecting the gear and feeling the road through the wheels without a liquid transfer in the middle there somewhere. Anyway - let me know if you want to have an up-close-and-personal interview with her Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I normally like the rocket bunny style arches but I don't think they suit a G37. Do a google images search of 'stanced g37' if you want more ideas If I had a money is no object project it would be one of these. Good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikevv Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Not my cuppa tea :S Maybe try a GTR... Has rear seats right? I'm just pulling your leg, but you not into any of the German Coupe's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Like you would with a 350z, body mods, lower and wheels and they do look a bit good, rare as as well, I would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodge69 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Another G37S here. I too came from a 350Z HR but a bad knee meant I needed an auto and was looking at 370Z's for a while. But then the G37 luxury appealed to me, I guess I'm getting old! My car is exactly the same as Stanski's. In fact maybe it IS Stanski's, I bought it from a dealer in Derby last October. It has been fantastic btw, smooth and wafty in the traffic and then very reminiscent of the Zed when you want it to be! If you've got any questions just let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That black is smart as, wouldn't mind that sitting next to the 350 in the drive haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Rs Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Great comments so far, Thank you! Apart from the G37 being a little more refined than the 350z/370z and seems to be a little thirsty the feedback has been good. So Ive Just bought a Fully loaded 2009 Facelift finished in white pearl with 64k miles from new, it has a little panel damage to the front corner so will be perfect for what i have planned. That is... providing everything goes to plan! overall buying this car cheaper should offset or at least help towards mods as I was going to change the front bumper, headlights and fit the vented front fenders or possibly the wide arch kit (i have found on Alibaba.com) has anyone had experience from buying off this site? i will post pics up soon and let you guys know how its coming along 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Nice one looking forward to seeing it develop I'm quite jealous if I'm honest. My current project car was barely into 4 figures. The service and mot was half it's value 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
