Why is there no love for the (High End Performance) Infiniti G37?

[burritoo]

It's a great car no doubt, even if it has oversteer but that can be fixed with tuning the suspension. It can hit 200 mph and about 230 with N20. I rarely see the car online or even anywhere, except for when I use it.

In a game with 1200 and a change more cars, a lot get left in the dust for the popular choices. I do agree that the G37 is a killer car, it even has a Playstation 3 in the back seat

If you love it then there is love for it

Personally I mostly use older cars, from the 70's and 60's, so that's why you never see me with the G37.

One of the best features of the G37

I used to like the G35s and G37s, but I suppose I stopped using them even in GT after test driving one in real life.

What was/is wrong with the car?

I use the High End Performance G37 very often. Especially in 600pp race car rooms. It's really good and I can easily compete with GT3 and SGT cars.

Notes :


This is one of the car that was originally built in GT5 It was a hybrid back then with even lower stance and close to 1000HP with 8 Speed transmission from another Skyline V series

For GT6, I made a simpler version, with 3 options for spring rate and camber amount. The base setup uses stock spring rate, very good balance out of the box with 3/5 camber and tuned damper. The LSD also has several choice, the base uses low preload, but the custom preload can be used for tracks with higher speed corners like Big Willow.

Suspension has several coilover kit : TEIN Mono Flex MFP and Street Flex STFA kits, and Cusco Sport ZERO-2E ( custom made one off by Cusco Japan was used in real car ) as well as stock rate from GT6.
I used Cusco ZERO 2E as it offers good rate for balance, not too stiff and not too soft.

Don't expect time trial car pace, this is stance oriented build, where grip is not paramount, but looks and style wins over the girls Drift it around the bends, track days show off or simply cruise with confidence.

The HEP G37 was tuned and tested at Big Willow and Grand Valley Speedway. At Big Willow, with CS tire, base stock spring, 3/5 camber and custom preload alternate LSD, it easily manage 1:26s A replay of the lap has been provided.

In memory of RJ Rocha, the man who built the HEP G37 and won the 2008 SEMA " Best in Show " Award

Wished he had a chance to drive his creation in Gran Turismo, what a wonderful experience it would have been, RIP.

What was/is wrong with the car?

I use the High End Performance G37 very often. Especially in 600pp race car rooms. It's really good and I can easily compete with GT3 and SGT cars.

It wasn't so much that there was something wrong with it, but it wasn't what I expected. It was a G37 sedan with a manual, which is rare. It was nicely appointed and was certainly quick, but the steering felt numb and detached and the shifter felt rubbery and vibrated a lot more than I've seen any other. Overall I didn't find it engaging to drive and was disappointed as I was really hoping to like and buy it. Overall, my impression is that it was more of an upscale muscle car than a sports sedan. Maybe it was that particular car (and a salesman who complained about his job for the entire drive didn't help), but I was surprised at how much I didn't like it. Around that time I also test drove a BMW 328i, first gen Acura TSX, Subaru Legacy GT and Mazda 3, all of which I found more engaging.
