Really wanted to stay, but had to let go :(..
I'm breaking up with Infiniti. It didn't satisfy my desires.
When I first got in.. she was so fine, but after these 5+ years.. she's all fat and loose. Like curtains.
Anywaysss...
My G has been giving me a lot of the issues the past year or so and it burns oil like no other. Have to usually add another quart every couple weeks depending on how much I drive.
I wanted to trade up to a used Q50h. I'd prefer the sport because it looks nicer and feels nicer to drive, but after debating over it for a few months and going on a couple test drives.. overall it just isn't what I was looking for. Specs by itself are pretty great and with that tech package to boot it seemed like a no brainer, but the drive by wire just didn't feel right. Wasn't too impressed by the interior either. The hybrid version just isn't popular enough so it's difficult to find them used and I wasn't ready to wait another year for more to pop up. The sport hybrids are pretty much non existent.
Ended up getting a 2013 Lexus GS450h with 28k miles. Better gas mileage, a more comfortable ride and better interior. It just had a better feel to it and it was the only other option really for a luxury performance hybrid car. Not very mod friendly unfortunately... but I'm getting older and taking time out to spend time on the car isn't the top priority anymore lol.
May be parting out some of the mods on my G though if there's enough interest. Here are some probably missed a few.
Tanabe Pro5 coils. Been on there for around 30k miles
Hotchkis front and rear sways
MD 5/16 spacer
05 revup box
K&N filter
Polished plenum, Throttle body, those two things below in the front. (forgot what they're called)
SxExCx (Sean) grounding kit
Z-tube
Clear corners from Riverside Infiniti
SPL all metal compression rod bushings (only on the car for around 5k miles)
Front strut bar
