Forged Performance: 2008 G37 Coupe Baseline Dyno and pics

**sharif@forged** · 10-13-2007, 01:54 PM

We've been so busy, and havent had a chance to share our latest baseline results with the new G37 Coupe we aquired two weeks ago. The plan for this car is forced induction, naturally, but we wanted to get a baseline before starting to tear apart the car.

First off, I think the car looks much better in person, and although the rear is questionable to some, it really is starting to grow on me. :)

So far, we've added a set of Volk GT-F's, and a set of lower springs. More to come later. Compared to what we are used to tuning, the car is slow, but handles much better than a stock G35 or stock 350z.

Here are the dynos, and I will be posting some pics of the car shortly. For reference, a bone stock G35 Coupe just did 213whp on our dyno today. The heartbreaker strikes again! :D Add about 10-12% to simulate a dyno jet number.

Took u that long to post up the dyno :-p

It definitely looks a lot better lowered. The spoiler really help the rear end looks.

those new engines sure are strong.

edit: you should put on some of bats overlays to give it a meaner look.

Congratulations on the new ride, Sharif...

Those wheels are hot... those rotors really fill them up, too...

Thanks JB. Infiniti nailed it with the large brakes and rotors...no need for upgrades. Well, I say that now, but a set of 6 piston AP's would look even nicer behind those wheels.

That second pic looks really good! Looks so sleak!!

You need to get Mike to powdercoat the calipers Yellow!!!! He already has a very nice shade of Yellow.

**2003z** · 10-13-2007, 11:30 PM

we were discussing powdercoating them red, but now that you mention yellow.........
We do have a little yellow caliper club going!

**Chops** · 10-13-2007, 11:41 PM

Yes we do!

**ATL_Red_G35** · 10-13-2007, 11:44 PM

quit rubbing it in......................:-p

First person to shave the rear....looks sooo much cleaner !!! Love the drop.

Sharif,

What offsets did you use on the wheels and widths?

dkmesa350z · 10-14-2007, 11:22 AM

Sharif, that side profile shot looks awesome. I agree with others that pcoating the calipers red or yellow is the way to go.

This thread's got a lot of really sexy brakes.

ooh, I can answer that, because I spend way too much time on the forums. 8.5f 9.5r offsets are +37 +36

^ thanks man.....we have a friend here that has his on the boat from the Motherland right now....so we're helping him figure out wheel sizes so we can spend his money.
