Announced by the luxury performance automaker last August, the Infiniti Performance Line™ (IPL) is an exclusive collection of specially-tuned Infiniti vehicles crafted by the company with the express intent of maximizing total vehicle performance. This month, the first vehicle to wear Infiniti’s eagerly anticipated IPL badging, the 2011 IPL G coupe, will roll off assembly lines and into the hearts and minds of adrenaline junkies everywhere.
Using the sleek and celebrated rear-wheel drive G37 coupe Journey as its starting point, the new 2011 IPL G coupe (MSRP starting at $47,950), has a series of enhancements designed to provide an exhilarating and exclusive driving experience. Focusing on total vehicle performance, the IPL’s modifications stretch beyond the engine compartment to every facet of the G’s frame. From stem to stern, styling to substance, the 2011 IPL G is a driver’s dream.
Under the IPL banner, Infiniti’s 3.7-liter V6 engine has been retuned and recalibrated through ignition timing and air/fuel mixture optimization to deliver more horsepower and torque; the IPL G now reaches 348 hp at 7,400 rpm and 276 lb/ft of torque at 5,200 rpm (an increase of 18 hp and six lb/ft of torque). An IPL-tuned, high-flow dual exhaust promotes noticeable smoothness, and precise control stems from a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission or an available seven-speed automatic. The G’s specially modified suspension, Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD) and sport-tuned steering setups work harmoniously to deliver exhilarating responsiveness through tight corners and wide-open straights.
Outside, Infiniti’s new G gets an aggressive facelift to correspond with high-performance driving attributes, integrating aerodynamic front and rear fascias (with low-mounted foglights), dramatically sculpted side sills and a rear spoiler. Two exterior colors are offered on the IPL, Malbec Black and Graphite Shadow, both of which play nicely against the G’s sophisticated chrome grille and exhaust tips. Infiniti’s IPL G coupe rides on 19-inch IPL split seven-spoke graphite-finished wheels with a set of low-profile performance tires. A power-sliding tinted-glass moonroof with one-touch operation and a sunshade is standard.
The 2011 G’s exterior is complemented by a similarly imposing cabin, outfitted in either Graphite or Monaco Red leather. Red-stitched sport seats with manual thigh extensions are bolstered for added support in the thigh and torso. A red-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum pedals and footrest and sleek aluminum trim round out the IPL G’s aggressively styled interior.
Standard features in the IPL G include the Infinity Studio on Wheels® by Bose® premium audio system with 11 speakers, a 9.3GB Music Box® built-in hard drive, a Hard Drive Navigation System with an enhanced touch-screen and Infinity Voice Recognition, heated front seats and outside mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, a RearView Monitor and rear sonar for easy parking. An advanced memory system keeps track of your individual seat, mirror and steering wheel settings and preferences.
Ripe with exclusive enhancements inside and out, the first entry into the Infiniti Performance Line more than lives up to its premium luxury-sport emblem.

More than just a badge – Exclusive, premium enhancements drive the all-new 2011 Infiniti IPL G coupe.
The battery life expected on this vehicle is about 100 miles of driving, with a 20 mile reserve power range. The home charging station can recharge the Leaf’s batteries to 100% in 7 hours, or you can flash charge the batteries with a heavy dose of DC power up to 80% in 25 minutes. You may also equip your Leaf with a small solar panel on the hatch that will provide enough energy to power your onboard electronics, saving your internal battery life up to 15% over the duration of your trip. The Leaf will produce 107hp, 207 lb-ft and will be available in 2011. The government will also be offering a $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit for Leaf buyers.
The Nissan Quest is back for 2011, and it's back in a big way. This will be the first time the Quest isn't built in America, as production has switched to Nissan's Shatai plant in Japan where the fourth-generation El Grand is already being produced.
Power will come from the same 3.7-liter VQ V6 that powers nearly every other Nissan, with output in the 300 horsepower range. Front-wheel drive will be standard, and it was mentioned to us that there will be an all wheel drive option and an Infiniti version to go alongside Infitini’s new QX56.
But don't think this is just a rebadged El Grand. To make the van more in line with American needs and tastes, Nissan has added a full 5 inches to the vehicle’s width. This is to give the people-mover more room, but also to add high-speed stability and avoid the extreme tall and skinny look that is very common on Japanese market vans and trucks.
Dubbed as the world's first four-seat, all-wheel drive convertible crossover, the chop-top CUV will only sport two doors and thankfully, it won't come with PT Cruiser style "picnic basket" roll bar.
According to a Nissan representative there, the concept would be aimed at the 40-65 year old market, and will be a limited-production unit.
Enter the Nissan Ellure concept. The best looking concept car in the Nissan booth at the LA Auto Show, the Ellure represents the future corporate "look" for Nissan.
The Ellure is not on the production list, but it certainly does open your eyes as to what Nissan may produce in the future for the Maxima’s new styling direction (which should trickle down to the Altima and others). The Ellure is beautiful, with its futuristic lines, suicide doors, and its hybrid technology.
It is smart and forward-thinking, leaving us to imagine the good things to come for the sedan market of Nissan. The Nissan Ellure’s drivetrain is conceived as a supercharged 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder with a 25 kW electric motor, mated with an Xtronic CVT to a FWD platform.
Also at the show was the soon to be released 2012 Nissan GT-R. The GT-R goes through a few upgrades including some exterior touchups, suspension upgrades, and more importantly an engine tune from 485 hp and 434 lb-ft on the 2011 models, to 523 horsepower and 451 lb-ft of torque due to a sizable increase in boost pressure from the turbos.
The 2012 edition will be available in early 2011 for an estimated $85,000 (which doesn't include all the dealer markup we've come to expect on the GT-R).
It’s absolutely amazing. With 420 hp and 417 lb-ft, the M56 becomes the first production vehicle to gain over 30 mpg with a 400hp+ engine. Technically, the M56 fits into the sports sedan class but Infiniti saw an opportunity to offer something that few of its competitors do - an "economy mode" that boosts gas mileage to four cylinder levels. At the push of a button, the M56 becomes a fuel sipper. Eco mode is one of four driver-selectable modes: Sport, Standard, Snow and Eco. MSRP of the M56 is set to start at $58,000.
Infiniti has finally foregone the trend of rebadging Nissan SUV's and went in-house for the second generation of the luxury brand's underrated full-size SUV.
The 2011 QX56 is an absolute leviathan. While handsome, the body curves uncomfortably in some places, like the back hatch, disrupting the squarish side profile. The faux front fender vents, probably intended to break up the expanses of sheet metal, are unwelcome and look out-of-place.
However, the venerable 5.6-liter V-8 engine boosts fuel economy 10 percent and delivers 80 more horsepower for a total of 400. A new active suspension helps the big Q stay flat on hard turns. Like most new Infinitis, the interior is a fine place to relax and receives a thorough dashboard upgrade with standard navigation and Bose audio. Pricing remains unchanged at $56,700 for the two-wheel-drive model.
The G25 sedan comes in several trim levels including the base G25, G25 Journey and the G25x (AWD). The base G25 starts at $31k, and a fully loaded G25 can be acquired for the same price as a base G37.
Being introduced as the new performance series for Infiniti is the, easily named, Infiniti Performance Line. The first vehicle to come out of this line is the IPL G37 coupe, and it is an impressive upgrade I must say.
The aggressive aero kit, upgraded engine specs, and upgraded suspension components, gives this G37 a drivability worthy of its own badge.
Comparable to BMW’s M series or Mercedes AMG, the IPL boosts the 3.7L’s output from 330hp to 348hp, 20% stiffer springs, new shocks, sportier steering rack, and a mechanical type limited slip differential. The IPL G37 coupe is being released this month, at a MSRP of $46k.
I was even more stunned during our tour when Kyle pulled out the keys and let us inside the Essence. In utter amazement, I open the door to the Essence coupe, and find a leather and suede interior that would rival that of the most expensive European luxury car. In an interesting twist, the leather is hand dyed, fading from various browns to silvers throughout the interior, and the two sides to this car are laid out in classic Japanese “his” and “her” designs.
Each side is custom tailored to the idea that a male would drive, and a female would ride passenger, and everything reflects this concept. From the colors, to the shaping of the seats in reflection of Japanese Kimono’s, to the all-analog (aircraft-like) instrument cluster, it is just amazing.
Unfortunately, the Essence is not currently slated for production, but it remains a topic of discussion amonth the Nissan / Infiniti top brass. Some things would have to change on the car, of course, for it to be production-ready, but even if this car comes out 80% of what it showed at the LA Auto Show, it will be a forced to be reckoned with in the styling category. While there were a few cars at the show that could be compared to the Essence such as the Jaguar C-X75, Lexus LFA, and Audi R8, in my eyes, the Essence was hands-down the best designed car there, and it absolutely stood up to its name by capturing the pure essence of a perfect sports car. You can bet that the staff here at NICOclub will be lobbying hard for its production.

[post_content] => Fun with legal LSD
First things first, what is a LSD? It stands for Limited Slip Differential. Why is this important? Because it allows your car to get an incredible holeshot due to increased traction. The differential is the thing in the rear of the car that splits the power coming from the driveshaft up between the 2 rear tires.
Now the factory 240 (with a few exceptions) use what's called an 'open rear end'.In this setup both tires are basically free to spin at whatever speed they want to, this has one good side and a bad side. The good side is that when going around a turn the tires don't 'scrub' or 'hop' around since they will be traveling at different speeds (outside tire has farther to go so it spins faster). If you had a solid axle (or welded the 2 halves of the differential together) you would have killer grip in a straight line but handling would be extremely bad. The bad side of the open rear end is that since both tires are free to spin at whatever speed they want, whichever tire has less grip (the one spinning) will get more power transferred to it which will cause it to spin more, which will cause it to loose more grip and spin more which............. anyhow it's not a good cycle.
The LSD comes into play right here, LIMITED SLIP comes to the rescue by stopping the loss in grip by recognizing that one tire is spinning and then transferring the power to the other wheel that has grip. The type of rear end I'm using is called a Viscous LSD which means it uses silicone and 2 plates to operate. The simplified explanation of how this works is that there is a plate stuck on the end of each shaft. These plates spin at the same speed as the wheel they are attached to. When one wheel looses grip and starts to spin faster it creates friction between the two plates due to the difference in speed. This friction heats up the silicone floating around causing it to expand. When the silicone expands it pushes on the other plate 'locking' it to the one that's spinning. This locking is what causes the other wheel to push.
The fact that both wheels are now pushing is VERY apparent while driving. My friend's turbo 240 dropped a full second off his quarter mile time after I installed an LSD from an Infiniti J30 into it. My car can be launched at 5,500 RPM's by sidestepping the clutch and flooring it with almost no wheelspin. But this isn't just useful to dragracers, the difference while autocrossing is even more pronounced. The car can start accelerating earlier and harder out of corners than you could ever hope to do with an open differential. Lastly the car is much smoother to drift (but it does take a lot more power to get the rear end to start coming around).
Now that you know what an LSD is I'm sure you want to know where to get one. The easiest way is to find a 240sx with one on it already and take it. There is a lot of talk about what year and options a 240 has to have to be equipped with an LSD. From what I've heard SE's with ABS, HICAS, or S14 5 lug SE's w/ ABS all should have the LSD. Canadian 240's also have VLSD (all of them). The easiest way to check is that the LSD will have an orange sticker above the fill hole that identifies it as an LSD. Also if you turn one side the other should turn the same direction. You'll also notice that the LSD is harder to spin by hand than the open differential. If you're like me you can't find a 240 in a scrap yard anyplace with an LSD in it, so you have to improvise.......... here comes the fun part. The R200V (VLSD) differential is used in the Infiniti J30, and Z32 300zx. The Infiniti one has an ABS sensor at the front which adds about an inch to the length of it. The flanges for the halfshafts (the shafts that go to the wheels) are the same pattern for the 95 and up J30's (pre '95 used a different pattern at least on the ones I saw in the yard) Also if you own an S13 (89-94) you will need to get a new differential cover gasket and swap the rear cover off your R200 (stock diff) onto the new one. The S13's used a different bolt pattern (4 bolts) than the S14 (2 bolts). The 90+ 300zx one also fits but takes more work. First thing DO NOT get the twin turbo diff, it's got different gear ratio's in it and it will really slow your car down (3.86) The NON turbo has the same ratio as the 240 (4.06). The 300sx also uses the 2 bolt rear cover so if you own an S13 you'll need to switch it. The biggest problem with the 300zx is that the output flanges are different. They look like a '5 star' flange where the 240sx uses 3 sets of 2. The parts to convert a 300 to a 240 can be had for around 200-300 new. I got mine at a scrap yard for 150.
The M30 and Q45 diff's also work with the same basic modifications I mentioned earlier. The big thing to look for is the flanges, they need to be the 3 sets of 2 or you will have to replace them.
I have heard rumors that the J30 differential requires you to shorten the driveshaft by an inch due to the position of the ABS sensor but my buddy hasn't had any problems with his when he installed it in an S14. It's only been on for 2 weeks and the fit is tight but it works.
The install is pretty straightforward, just unbolt the stock diff and then stick the new one in.The hard part is getting the new diff up and in place so you can bolt it on (these things are HEAVY). I needed another guy to help me and 2 jacks to get the thing where I wanted it. Care must be taken when tightening it down that it's level when you start tightening so that you don't' crack the cover. I hung it in the back by sticking the studs on the cover through their holes and then lining up the bolts in the front and tightening them down then I put the nuts on the rear. After that put on the 6 bolts on each side that holds the flanges to the driveshaft. Finally bolt the driveshaft to the differential.
While you have it out I highly recommend changing the fluid in diff while you have it out since it's a major pain to do it while it's still in the car. You MUST use either a fluid designed for LSD (royal purple or Redline) or add the LSD additive (this additive contains the silicone I mentioned earlier that heats up to make the differential lock up). Another thing you might want to do at this point is take the bottom drain plug off the stock diff and put it on the new one at the filler point. The bottom plug has a magnet on it that picks up metal shavings floating around in the case, it's not really necessary but since your throwing the other diff out anyhow you might as well keep the magnet for the new one to help keep stuff from floating around the case.
