Considerations for next upgrades-- 05' MT Coupe

Hi all,

So far I've done a few things:

1. Cleared Corner / Sidemarker Lights
2. Installed LED Bulbs on said lights, as well as license plate
3. Interior LED Kit (OPT7)
4. RJM Adjustable Clutch Pedal


I've got a few ideas but these are what I'm looking at:

- Stillen Intake / Z-Tube (It's expensive though.. https://www.stillen.com/stillen-2003...initi-g35.html)

- Fresh Motul/StopTech fluid for the clutch/brake system

- Throttle body air idle and ecm resets??

- Intake Gasket?

- Oil Catch Can (DIY)?

- Swap out lower intake manifold with a non-revup version (or an MREV2) and combine with a motordyne spacer..?

- Muffler Delete w/ custom Y Tube?

Or maybe somebody has a better idea for a nice upgrade? The cheaper the better?


Thanks all!!

Do you have the old school reflector headlights? If so I would look into getting some 06+ projector OEM headlights. They make the G35 look much much more classier and modern.

I just picked some up and will be installing them on my 05 Coupe this weekend

It's not the cheapest mod though...

Lower plenum swap and spacer
Don't do a muffler delete...save for a full system.

Stillen's intake is nice but all you need is a z-tube to change the sound and a K&N drop in filter. Intakes don't offer any whp increase! No real advantage to after market brake/clutch fluid just follow Nissan's recommendation of replacing fluids every 30K miles. Motordynes 5/16" spacer/lower manifold have and always will be a great addition adding several whp! Catch can is a great idea! Please don't consider muffler delete, that a low class ghetto mod. Better idea is a full Exotice Speed exhaust system and Fast Intention high flow cats. Once that is completed you can get a tune, gain 25 whp and 18 to 20 lbs torque!

If you have no desire to spend another $5-600 for a mandatory tune needed after any performance parts then just mod your car for looks. Your car will be slower with breather mods so do your research see where a shop can tune your car locally then decide what mods to get

Freshen up your suspension if you haven't done so and approaching 100k miles.

Serpentine belt idler pulley delete:

https://www.z1motorsports.com/fan-ac...it-p-5640.html

Save a pound or two of rotational weight and about 3.5 pounds of total weight from the car. Things like this help the car rev a bit quicker, although you won't feel a noticeable difference just from this mod alone, but it's practically a free upgrade if you plan on changing your belt anyways and were already going to buy a new one.
