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)

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