Here is a G that belongs to a close friend of ours, John Markley. John has been in this “aggressive wheel fitment” scene for quite a while now and being from Texas, he has seen it all. From people trying way too hard just to impress others, to people doing it absolutely right! He recently moved to Southern California though, where owning a G35 or a 350Z is not easy, as everywhere you go you’re guaranteed to see at least one. We’ve seen this car go through several wheel setups and bumpers, but it’s current stage is easily our favorite. Scroll down and take a look at this wonderful Infiniti G35 that John has built. It’s an honor and privilege to share this thing car our fans and we are very excited!

Right off the start the thing that grabbed our attention the most is the way this G is sitting and what it’s sitting on. It’s pretty easy to assume that this thing is bagged, when it’s really on coilovers. And it’s more than just coilovers, John has changed a ton of things with his suspension to achieve the perfect stance that you see in front of your eyes. Stance GR+ coilovers with true rear and custom spring rate swift springs on all 4 corners is just a start. Hotchkis adjustable sways and Powergrid adjustable endlinks all around come next, then SPC front and rear camber kit and Custom fabricated rear toe-links came after that. Lastly, SPL took care of the solid differential bushings and compression rod bushings.
Now that the suspension work is done, it was time for a proper set of wheels. Instead of following the crowd, John thought it would be cool and different if he could pull off a concave/lip look. Who better to contact then the fellas at DPE Wheels, right? They took care of John and got him a set of their extremely clean SP SC-10 wheels. 20×10 (-8) up front wrapped in 225/35/20 and 20×11 (-4) rears were wrapped in 245/35/20 Hankook tires. Behind those sexy wheels you’ll find the OEM Brembo brakes with DBA 4000 series rotors. Tucking tire and having your wheels sit flush with fenders has never looked this good. Big ups to John, Michal @Acute Performance & guys at DPE Wheels for doing an amazing job.
Trying to stick with the OEM look as much as possible, you won’t see any crazy bumpers or body work on this G. Mellow yet efficient Nismo front and sides were added along with painted roof, diffuser and grille. The wide rear end and fine lines of the G’s that we’ve all grown to like are still there, and that we love. So what is up next for John you ask? Well, he tells us that you can expect to see more “function” modifications such as an LSx motor swap. For now though, he will save his money and stick with what he has. Motordyne 5/16” intake plenum spacer, ACT pro-lite 13 ¼ lb flywheel, ACT HD clutch, Fujitsubo Legalis-R polished stainless exhaust w/y-pipe and many other things.
As always, we’ll leave you with a few more photos that our photographer Jay Pena took and give a huge thank you to not only him but John himself as well. Like we said earlier, it’s an honor and privilege to share this piece of art with all of you. We’ve followed it for months and have seen most of the work that was put into this thing. No photo or video will do this Infiniti justice, you have to see it in person.
