Just traded in my '03 G35 Coupe for the 4 door 'family' car...

I'm sure I'll have tons of questions, as I need a degree in all the technology/buttons/etc.

Its a '11 with 44k miles.

Congratulations ! You are going to love it ! 420 hp, RWD, 7 spd AT with paddle shifters and the Akebono brakes

Yay yay

Thanks. Will get more pics when better weather is here.

A couple pics from this morning parked at work, already dirty from the rain yesterday.

"Family!" I love it and am going to use it when I decide to move away from my little V6!
"Honey, we need those extra cylinders now that the grandkids are getting bigger (and heavier)."
Honestly, I really like my M35x, but you and Ilya are getting my envy bone working!

I'm use to small 2 door cars and was shocked how well balanced and light this car feels. So far great cornering, just haven't pushed it much yet.

I gave myself the same excuse.

"Ilya, you're no longer 23 like you were when you bought the M35. You weigh more. You need the extra 135HP to lug your fat arse around."

Congrats OP! The car looks really sharp. Any plans for it? I think a little tint job would look great

Yeah, it'll be tinted before the summer. Do like the rear sunshade option already though.

Notice that the aftermarket is very limited. But that's why I wanted the sport package for the wheels and lower suspension.

Would love if there would be an intake kit for it.

But my 240sx is still my play toy and gets the aftermarket toys.

Congrats man and welcome. Now we have at least 3 moderators with an M37/56. Things are looking up.

Yeah the M doesnt get much love in the US, not even from STEELLEN. But man the stuff I see in Japan for the car is nice. I'm still fiendin for the Access Evolution front lip.

A few interior pics today.

Sweet 90's CD binder, bruh.

Indeed. Lots of loading to go.

This was my DREAM car before I finally gave up looking for 56 and went with 37... It's like my car's badass older brother.. :-/ NICE1

I was close to giving up on the 56, I had been looking for a while and was actually planning on waiting until early next year but then this one popped up just 30 mins away last week.

Here is lil bro.... Love it but will go with a 56 or Q70 v8 next...

Pic didn't work.

Hmm... well it's your car minus the awesome wheels and 56s.. but the windows are tinted 15. I can see it on my side... I guess I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post it. :-/

You'd have to host it on a photo site like photobucket or something and then use a link to it.

haha..> I may or may not have fixed it.

Yep that's working now.

I thought about an x too, but RWD gives me an excuse to work from home in bad weather.

You have. Looks good.

After experiencing the V8, I don't know if I'll ever go back to a V6, lol.

Yes, I need to build my S13 engine now to make it faster than the M56, it was barely faster than my G35, so now I feel its inadequate.

Yeah, not too many 56 sports in my area either.

You just had one up in N VA a couple weeks ago. I was close to going to look at it. But they had it listed at like $38k.

A little more than I wanted to spend. Honestly at that price point, I'd be looking for a low mileage CTS V.

I've always liked the M sport but didn't really like the dash. Getting the 56 is the way to go.

Hadn't realized it didn't have the trunk mat until I got it home. So used one from ebay. And then took a pic of the orig sticker for my records.
