Ordered my G37 SEDAN!!

[RxGuy]

Anyone else place an order for one yet? Infiniti hasn't officially announced them yet, but from what I read, Sept. 1 will be when they let out the news, at which time the cars will already be on the way to the dealers. I called up my local dealer, and they said mine should be in the second week of september. I'm hoping thats right!

[gwoods]

Sweet! last I heard the G37 sedan was a 2010?

Is the motor 330 or 350 hp?

Is the transmission 5sp or 7sp auto?

What is the curb weight?

I MUST KNOW!

[RxGuy]

It will be announced 9/1/08, and will be a 2009 model. It is the same motor from the Coupe, 3.7L 330hp V6. Has the new 7sp auto, unless you want stick that is.

Unsure of curb weight.

I think I just wet my Pants! I bet they will make all the 370 motors 350 hp.. Z, Coupe, and Sedan soon!

[RxGuy]

That would be sick....Nice G, by the way. What part of tampa are you in? Do you have pics of the lights on your car? I'd like to see them if it's not too much trouble.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I live in St. Pete area. I go to school at University of Tampa lol for my MBA

And the lights (angel eyes...) well that is a sore subject lol,

THe first set recieved came broken!

The second set was the wrong set!

Now waiting on the Third set to come in the mail.. (3 more weeks or so)

Do you have a G sedan yet?

[RxGuy]

[Triton3.5]

The "inside info" says it's 320 HP, and a 7AT. I'm willing to bet that the 10 HP is a loss on paper only designed to give the coupe a HP advantage. Otherwise, who would pay more for a car with half as many doors?

[Raylo]

I'm going to have to hit up my dealer for a test drive in september to see what the 7 speed feels like. Wonder what the MPG will be.

[joe603]

Wow, congrats!!

It's going to be a long 2 months

[RED_DET]

Can't wait to get my hands on one.

The 7 spd auto would be NICE, keeps the motor in the power band more and could give better gas mileage.

Hopefully its a completely different transmission with closer ratios not just a computer trick on the current 5spd.

The 545 rfe 5spd automatic in the Hemi ram is EXACTLY the same transmission as the 45rfe in the 4.7 Ram, Dakota and was originally designed for the Jeep Cherokee back in the late 90's :-( You can literly take a 4sp transmission out of a jeep and put it in a Ram and it becomes a 5spd

320 hp isn't enough to get me to trade my 306 hp 07 sedan.... If the Fujita intake does what it advertises I already have 316 hp.

I think that's a mistake everybody makes when they add a mod. Most mods don't add power, most merely replace some of the power that's lost when the engine is put in the car in driving form. IE. when they dynoed the engine for the 306, the engine was out of the car without intake and exhaust restrictions and temperature controlled. It also didn't have a rear end eating up a chunk of power. That's why rear wheel HP isn't near published HP - parasitic losses.

It used to be that you could change heads and cams and get more HP, but that isn't the case on the G. The only mods that I know of that add HP to the Gs engines(above the 306) are super charging or turbo mods.

[TeflonG35]

Makes me want to dyno mine ^_^

Just got in some new headers. Gotta put them on.

[gwoods]

Fujita has a dyno chart showing a 10 rwhp gain from their set up...

dyno's are useless for anything but tuning imo

[zozoka1212]

Congrats on your new ride. Let us know what you think when you put your hands on her. Expecting some pics too.

I think the self healing paint is good on the top of the 7 speed and few more hp.

I'll testdrive one as soon as they come in.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Im going to do the same! I hope it is the 330 or 350hp motor... 350 would be sick!

1+ for the paint

DJ

[gwoods]

I'd trade in for a 350 hp motor!!!

320 hp vs 306 isn't enough to have me start a new loan. I'm also curious about the curb weight! My Journey sedan with nothing on it weighs right around 3500 lbs.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Oh Gwoods got one for you... I took is VW golf today on my way home from orlando from a stop light.. Just to the 60 MPH Speed limit lol (cops everywhere) It sounded like he had a turbo or just one of those turbo noise makers lol..

I got the the next light and he was like man what do you have in that thing...

I and said well about a 310hp V6 with a 6MT and he was like "oh"

It was great

Did I say i hate

Some kid in a pt cruiser tried to race me today. I just laughed at him as he floored it and almost crashed. Me on the other hand just toke off slow and stylish

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Good Choice

A+

PSSSHHH.... Guys we trained him right lol

really that was the best choice!

When you get older and have tamed your car and have some years of driving under you belt... well then it is a little different.

Be safe

According to Wiki....

"G37 sedan was unveiled in Geneva Motor Show for the European market.[4]. It features the same basic engine as the G37 coupe, but engine power was reduced to 306 hp and 258 ft-lb of torque.[5]"

same hp and less torque? peak torque better be available at idle and be a flat line up to 7800 rpm

[zozoka1212]

Jeff that's only for the Europian market. They had to de tune it.
