Considering a G8 GT as a replacement to my totalled G35
#138
the fuel mileage is aweful too, but apparently there';s lots that can be done to fix that.

I really like the color. Sort of the same metallic done on the G35 19s. Not silver but not gun metal either.
Interesting thing is that the ride is actually a bit softer vs my 18s. I note my tire pressures for the 18s were pretty high. Almost 40 psi but still? This is on the stock springs and shocks. Actually a decent ride height. But it does handle a bit soft for me.
Lower or not to lower? If I do lower, it has to be a small lowering job that's for sure.

I was able to get an used Superchips Flashpaq tuner for $200 shipped. It features not only ecu tuning (which made a much bigger diff than my Technosquare ecu tune on my G35) but more importantly TCM tuning. I can tune out as much / little of the oem torque management as I want. Adjust shift points (via rpm) and even adjust the downshift frimness. Can also do rev limiter adjustments and remove speed limiter. along with datalogging and OBDII trouble codes.
Pretty impressed. There's also 5-6 other maker tuning options that include simple flash tunes like I have to full on custom ECU / TCM dyno tunes.
