Beachbum's M37s build

[beachbum718]

I been poking around these forums a bit.thought id share my build
Picked up a 2011 M37s in March 2013 with 16,500 miles for 35k
2nd owner.drove from NY to Tyson of Infiniti in Washington dc to get her.
exact color I wanted and was a sport.
had all the packages I wanted as well,wing,harddrive,rear shade,speaker upgrade etc.

this is how she sat when I got her stock


first thing I did was my exhaust and led interior and hid fogs and headlight.dont have pics of lights


then when spring came around 2014, I got bc coils.install was easy.just have to make sure preload is perfect.
at first this was to low so I raised it up an inch front and back.heres when I first let the jack down.







I then when to the intake which is a g37 R2c black nickel metallic. Looks good in pics but now a month has passed and it looks like crap. performance is great and feels good when driven in sport mode.




so after a year in a half I decided to go air.i always wanted air in my last carq 45t.but never did it.

here's the start of my trunk setup. Nothing fancy ,just simple and quiet!

[beachbum718]

test fit everything.

now wrapped it up nice with some matching speaker cloth


trunk test fit ,perfect.still can get to my spare.


I was going to finish install myself at my friends shop but due to getting injured at work.3 hernias!!! I had to wait 3 weeks and find a shop to do it since I had major surgery and im on comp for the next 8 to 14 weeks.so I decided to give my install to topofnewyork45.its a shop here in ny that specializes in slammed cars and stretched tires.fender rolling,coilover installs.all that good stuff.there instagram is 45nyc_

now on to the goodies

so I went with accuair exo mount
444c dual compressors
one water trap
UAS bags over bc coilovers
autopilot v2 management.

the exo mount quiets down the compressors like you wouldn't believe.
you barely even here them. Its superb!
there a must on any air install.


trunk came out just how I wanted


switching bags onto coils,i went with threaded brackets.



in the front mounting the bags is a little tight.so guys at topofnewyork.hammerd in where the bags would have rubbed.and checked for clearance when bagged up and aired out.NO rubbing.


braided lines up front,hidden nice and clean

also installed front camber arms from spc.no pics.

[beachbum718]

Rise on start, ride height setting.my wife and son height lol 90fpsi 55rpsi



lowered ride height, driving setting.3 people. f75psi r45 psi.this is how my bc coilovers height was.im happy with it.

where my controller goes.right into ashtray.preset is at stock height,donk height.


aired out.the rear will go lower.but front wont do to control arm hitting chassis.so they adjusted my coils in the rear to stop perfectly so car sits completely stanced evenly, when aired out.i love it.

[beachbum718]

waiting on rims from dpe, hopefully this week they come.sorry if I ramble a lot.and sorry for the cell pics.its all I have right now.hope you enjoy the build thanks.

[JCesar]

can you post videos of the exhaust please! I want to hear how it sounds

[stm37s]

Nice build bruh. Car looks good. Those rims should set her off nice.

[Ilya]

Needs bigger rims, IMO. And that's rare for me to say. Otherwise, very nice.

[CRV_33]

Very awesome progress so far. Is this your daily driver? Be interesting to see how the airbags hold up against the winter months in NY.

[beachbum718]

I have rims.waiting on them to come.20x10f 20x11 rear.I'm not into 22s they give the m that donk south look.which is ugly to me.

I drive my car til thanksgiving then I have a jeep cherokee.but you can ride air all year round.you add a special antifreeze into the tank.to keep lines from freezing.many people drive in colder climates then ny with air.most of the vw and audi people do this.which Ive read on multiple fourms and spoke with a representative from bagriders.com about it.
as long as you wash your car once a week.like i do.should be fine.

Thanks

[beachbum718]

here's a test fit of my rims before I sent them to be re barreled.
I didn't have air installed.i took out coilover and jacked up rim.to see how it would look aired out.this is stock camber as well.20x10f 5 inch lip 20x10r 5 inch lip

I also have lower camber arms and traction rods to max out camber as needed.to fit my wheels.not all like the camber look.but its about what I like!

[Ilya]

Yeah I hate the donk south look too. Aren't the OEM ones 20"? I'd have maybe gone a tad bigger, but maybe it's just the wheel design (of the OEM ones) that make them look small cause the new ones do look better.

[DoN_BLaZe34]

the OEM's are 20's...they look small to you because they're so sunken in since he's slammed now.

Beachbum, did you ever have spacers installed on the Sport 20's? I'm guessing no?

[beachbum718]

Nah never bothered to.dosent bother me.besides when I'm at ride height.it looks lowered on coils maybe half inch higher.I have spacers though.Ichiba v2 for the front.for my new rims to clear calipers.there's only 10mm.which is nothing but does the job I need it to.

If you need spacers use the ones I got.that replace the studs to longer ones.not the bolt on version.I'll post pics if you want when I do install them next week

[JCesar]

Question for you, where did you get all your rear suspension Arms? And if you don't mind telling me, how much did you pay, I'm planning to get all 3 for each side on the back.
Thank you

[beachbum718]

150 shipped.for traction rods.
160 shipped for camber rods
ebay.it was buy it now of make an offer.I made an offer and got them.cheaped I could find anywere.
They are megan.only company who makes them for m37..they are solid.and are real beefy.very happy with how they feel and look.quality is on point!

[beachbum718]

Crappy cell pics.after days of tuning camber and alignments.I'm happy with it now.need more stretch in rear tires.but this will do for now.


Fender to lip.

Fender to lip.

She's squatted, looks good, are you done with her?

[Ilya]

Too much camber for me...but the bottom pic, specifically the front, looks great (dead on view so you can't really see the camber) with the height. Nice wheel choice!

[DoN_BLaZe34]

looks good, get some tire shine on those tires man lol

[beachbum718]

.it's a luxury car made for crusing.so no point into trying to make it fast.I'm all about the vip and stanced look.if i wanted a fast car.I'd buy a skyline.which im getting in 2 years.Done for the summer.getting spacers up front any day now.during winter. Powder coating calipers and most like aimgain body kit.this week also going with a smaller tire size for the rear so I can run less camber.it's not my daily .but it looks great to me and that's what matters.thx guys
