New 2009 G37S Sedan owner

[pornsstar]

Hello everyone,A recent car accident "forced" me into the new car market.

Had a pretty well customized 06 Volvo S40 T5 AWD......lady pulled out from a strop sign and decided to uncustomize it. Anyways when looking for a 4 door sedan that still comes in a 6MT the market led me to a ganga overpriced BMWs and Audis in the 54k range.

Looked a little bit harder and built a fully loaded G37S Sedan for 44k.5 sec flat 0-60 and I was sold.Blue Slate, Stone int every (and I mean every) option

I live in Savannah GA (ARMY CPT)

First things first:19" wheels MRR GT1's? (fit and or opinions welcome), Tint (30% GA law), and reloading my 10" solobaric L5

What else should I be looking at? possibly intake and exhaust?bang for the buck HP?

Nice well done sir. Welcome to the club.

About the mods. Best bang for your buck would be the ECU flash done by Technosquare. But your car is brand new so you have to wait till they came out with something. Probably few months. There are few intakes and light weight pulley for sure. I think whatever fits the g37 coupe should be good for you also as long as engine related. Everything else should be different.

Did you get the 4WAS?

we need some pictures for sure! Can't wait to hear some more good news about the new sedan!

Good choice!

Suspension and Engine stuff should be very similar. I wonder if they have made it so the exhausts will be interchangeable between the sedans and coupes now?

I would start with intake, engine damper, light flywheel, lighter clutch...

then I would do HFC/catback/engine tune(technosquare, cobb, etc)

did I mention suspension? springs& sways

The MRR GT-1's are good rims. I looked into getting those for a while. Just depends on what you are willing to spend. There are some sick rims but you normally dont get looks and performance IMO. You sacrifice one for the other...

thanks for the replies everyone.... I wil be looking into the mods you mention.

zozo I did get the 4WAS

DJ will do.....should take delivery on THURS or I will have to wait till the 29/30th (XMAS in NY)

Willy What is the down side of the MMR's? Are they heavy? Seems to be average priced and look good to me. and about 2k or less delivered?

PS Should I run 245/40-19 with the 19x8.5

I like the staggered look but have heard that the G eats tires pretty good....so rotating back to front might be a benefitSean

[zozoka1212]

Yeah rotating is a good idea.

There is a pretty good colection of tires here with their wight. Should help you.

Welcome to the '37 club

12k miles and no issues with the staggered setup yet. I still need to find some all-season tires tho

Should I run 245/40-19 with the 19x8.5

Should I run 245/40-19 with the 19x8.5

Yes, I would run 245/40's with the 19's. That is what i plan to do (also wanting ability to rotate). I had 245/35/19's on my last car, and started to right like crap after a while due to the shorter/stiffer sidewall.

bang for the buck HP?

Given the OP's username... I guess no one else found this ironic...

[pornsstar]

Well played.LOL

It actually stems from the 85 F Bronco II I had as my first car that had a huge p0rn* sticker on the back. added the Double SS for Sean SUllivan and that has been my AIM and SN for 10 years

[pornsstar]

She is on the way delivery in 2 hours. MRR GT1 ordered on Falken 452.

[SleeperG37]

[SleeperG37]
