Great! Thanks for clearing that up for me. Eager to see the final results! Keep up the good work.

I actually have both right now. My Fiance mostly drives the FR-S and I drive the G daily. That said I drive the FR-S frequently as well and I will say they are completely different beasts. The performance difference between the two is so great that I wouldn't compare them. The most important advice I can give you in this regard is cost. If you don't consider the car note the MPG of the G37 in the real world is half that of the FR-S, tires are twice the cost for the factory sizes, all the regular maintenance i.e. breaks, oil, filters, etc. are all more expensive (this goes for after market items as well). You do get a slightly more usable back seat in the G37 but a slightly smaller trunk. I hope that helps.

If anyone else is interested I suppose I could start a new thread to keep it on topic and give a full comparison between the two.

not to sound like an ass, but those 2 cars are very different. the g37 is rwd, your car is fwd. The g37 comes stock with brembos and many other performance parts taht your car does not. The parts are also much more expensive, as it is the sme as purchasing a vehicle in any luxury brand.

I understand that, I was just saying, that if you feel your nissan was expensive to maintain, then try and buy parts for that g37. The markup is substantially higher, even in aftermarket. I do agree though, specialized cars do cost more to maintain, and the g37 is in a limited market. I'm still interested to see how this car compares in 3-5 years.

Great looking exhaust! I would love to see a single cannister option but with the same chamber design!
