Ilya's M56x

Hey folks, got a new car. For those of you that know me, you know I had a 2007 M35x for the last 5 years. A week or so ago, I traded that in for a lightly used M56x. Went from a 275hp V6 (5AT) to a 420hp V8 (7AT). Thing is bananas.

This thread will be a running log of what I do to the car.

Overall plans for the new car:

  • Suspension (coilovers)

  • Upgraded lighting (better D2S bulbs, LED conversion, etc.)

  • Tint (20% all around and 50% front windshield)

  • UpRev Tune

  • Upgraded wheels (kept my 19’s from the first M - need to go 20" on this one)

  • Possibly a BBK (Akebono - stock from some other Infiniti)

      • Updated - - -

Had the dealer transfer my wheels from the M35 to the M56:
