hello new here

[ssmrico]

from Texas
have a 00 i30 and now a 11 m37s

has a nismo coolant cap and lowering eibach springs with these wheels it came with. I added the Infiniti door lights and that's about it for now. want to do intake and test pipes with a cat back. recommendations?

[wideopn11]

Welcome! There's not a whole lot of options but there are some good one's. Personally I'm running Takeda intakes, Stillen catback but no highflow cats or test pipes. I want to make sure I can pass emissions here in Nova. Other folks have had mixed results from test pipes.

[Ilya]

Is that a rubber lip (EZ-Lip)? Welcome.

[ssmrico]

yes it is came with car and well im not worried about passing emissions I have ways to lol so I want to delete cats and do the y pipes and test times. what you recommend? also anything I need to know about this car specific I went thru a lot of the post but im sure I could still be missing some

[ssmrico]

maybe im having a brain fart but I keep seing "hfc's" around the forum what does it stand for?

[CRV_33]

Looks like you're off to a great start. Looks tastefully modded!

[ssmrico]

thx. I want to change the wheels. just ordered stillen plate bracket I need to have front plate on cuz I work on base eh.

want to order intakes and the under metal tray and then test pipes and x pipes

High Flow Cats...basically replacement cats that are more free flowing, for performance upgrades. The M37 folks are fortunate in that their cats can be unbolted from the exhaust manifolds, as opposed to the M56'ers whose cats are the exhaust manifolds. If you use the search function on the right side of the screen and key in HFC or M37 exhaust, there should be several threads about this subject. I would also check Ebay as folks are selling these parts there.

[ssmrico]

yeah like my 00 i30 cats are on the stock header/manifold gay haha

and thought so good to know thx for clarification. ill just do cat deletes with test pipes I think

and thx for the advice on ebay and all I will take a peek

been looking at these hmmmm

[1080Rider]

What do you think of the eibach springs with (presumably) stock shocks/struts? Is the ride bouncy? I want to do springs but I'm nervous that it'll shorten up the travel of the shocks and make it really bouncy...

[ssmrico]

idk how stock was so hard to compare but the ride as It is now when I got car is good. not bouncy at all.

[ssmrico]

what power steering fluid you guys use or reccoment?

also last owner said 10-40 but shop I know and go to says 10-30 for oil here in TX which one sounds right or don't matter?

[MY2J]

thanks and lol true

welcome! I'm also interested in knowing if the Top Speed Intake requires any modifications to fit our vehicles? I've only seen people buy the G37 intakes and then having to hack up their bays in order for them to fit.

[ssmrico]

see I was told g37 or 370 ones did fit but didn't know I had to hack anything glad I know

[wideopn11]

There's a good site to get parts from on here; https://www.tunerzstore.com/. You'll see posts around from RED_DET who's the owner and pretty quick to reply to questions.
I did a full write up on the Takeda intake install. The engine bays mostly line up but I did have to get a little creative to get a proper fit. It would stand to reason that if the mount points are the same across several brands of intakes that fit g37; then the same or similar modification will be needed to fit the m37.

[ssmrico]

how u like the takeda ones?

[1080Rider]

I would go w/ 10-40 oil to give you more protection at higher temps and/or RPM's. Your weather never gets so cold that you need a 0-?? in TX. I would also go synthetic but that's personal preference.

[ssmrico]

it has mobil 1 full syn already from last owner

[1080Rider]

Keep w/ the synthetic then. Hell, in a warm climate like TX you could go 20-50 and be safe. I ran 20-50 in all my motorcycles because they didn't get ridden in the winter and got reved out repeatedly

[ssmrico]

true, what PS fluid you guys use on these cars?

[ssmrico]

took the car on a 6 hour trip 3 each way for a racing even at tx2k and I love it good gas and ride. found some bc coils I might pick up for like 400-500 locally. also want to order the intakes

[Calb0]

Welcome! If you are looking for Intakes that fit with no modifications, I recently sold my Q50s Hybrid and the Takeda Intakes from the Q50 work minus the heat shield. I ended up doing a full custom exhaust. Car looks great BTW.

[ssmrico]

pics of how they looked in the q50 with shields and without on the m37?
and thank you

Still having a hard time posting pics. When I use my Photobucket and copy the IMG one the forum tells me I can't post HTML or etc

You were at the limit of posts that you need to post stuff like that (due to you being new here), you should be good now as the limit is 10 I believe.

[ssmrico]

Maybe now ?
