Default Three VQ Home... '12 G37 Journey-Sport

Adding a third VQ to my stable. I'll be taking delivery of a 2012 Blue Slate G37 Journey-Sport sedan today. :BOUNCE: Current cars are my TT '03 350Z and (wife's) '11 Murano LE. Been eyeing the G37 sedan for some time and finally test drove one and enjoyed it. I'll get some pics as soon as it get delivered to the house. No major mods plans since I have my Z and I did choose to lease. Just can't wait to enjoy it.

Update: 22-Apr-13

OK... Before everyone starts thinking I'm already building my engine... I'm not! However I am keeping my G and not going to trade it in. I've been looking/researching online and I'm going to keep this build pretty simple. I have my Z for fun and frustration. LOL None-the-less, I've came up with the below list.

Did you go with the 6MT or AT? I'm a bit sad to see Infiniti produced so many 2012 sport models. The Akebonos and forged 18s used to be rare on the sedan, now I see them all the time.

I went with the 7sp auto. I really wanted the 6mt but after consideration it was best for my wife & I to go auto. This way she is able to drive it and the fun will be left to the Z.

That's a good thought. I've been considering getting a G sedan to replace my TL, but if I got a 6MT I'd have 2 cars my wife can't drive haha.

Congrats on your purchase, can't wait to see pictures.
