Hello all,
I just got my G35 sedan and I have had a lot of friends in the car scene for awhile now and wanted to know what everyone thought the 5 most important mods are. I would really like to drop it about an inch or so. My first mod is getting the ipod adapter and wiring it to the console. Exhaust is also something I am interested in. I am looking for something throaty but not annoying. I looked at the exhaust forum and couldnt pick a favorite. So anyway let me know what yall think.
Thanks

My first mods were:

1.) Rims
2.) Drop
3.) intake and Plenum Spacer
4.) Exhaust
5.) Audio work

Favorite Mods:

1.) Ati Procharger when I had it...04 G35 coupe
2.) headlights/tailights/interior lighting (clearcorners.com)
3.) Suspension (GT Spec, Tien, SPC, SPL)
4.) Wheels (Sevas S55)
5.) Audio (Jl Audio, MB Quart, Kenwood)
6.) Exterior Work (Kuruma Z, Impul Sides, Nismo Rear Diffuser)

 

Favorite mods:

1. air suspension
2. stereo system
3. wheels
4. aerodynamics kit
5. supercharger

 

Nice on the charger, sedan or coupe?

 

03 coupe

 

Depends on how much money you have and how much you wanna spend
Budget mods:
1. 5/16" MD Spacer
2. Lowering Springs
3. Sway Bars
4. Ztube/Intake
5. Exhaust (personal preference)

Not so budget oriented:
1. Twin Turbo's
2. Coilovers
3. Wheels and Good tires (am I the only one who wants to run Nitto NT-01's on the street? :P )
4. Sway Bars
5. 5/16" Spacer, Full Catback exhaust

Although with sedans exhausts are kinda a pain in the ***, I'm piecing mine together gradually for the best sound IMO. I really like my HKS muffler, but I'll prolly change the exhaust setup when I turbo the car so its more free flowing

 

+1 to the list above.

 

For me personally, I would rank my basic mods in this order....

1. Stoptech brake kit
2. Nismo suspension kit + Richie STB
3. Wheels/Tires (light and sticky)
4. Plenum spacer + Z-tube/ K&N Filter
5. Stillen exhaust

The fact is, basic bolt-on mods are not going to yield much power. I found a lot more satisfaction in the handling and stopping mods. I think if you want performance, you should really consider some form of FI.

 

This car is a huge upgrade speed wise from last ride. So I am not in a big hurry to turbo it and all that jazz. I am relly interested in stopping and handling mods but i dont want to sacrifice the smooth ride that I have now...I am looking at maybe a 1" drop or so.

 

1) Built Motor and TT (1 off exhaust in included in this one too)
2) Huge @ss brakes (15" 12-piston)
3) Nice forged wheels
4) Good coilovers
5) Quad projector retro headlights with CCFL's

Others are coupe seats and a good stereo/DD setup.

 

Sway Bars
Good coilovers, adjustable tie rods and tie rod ends
Chassis reinforcement, solid mounts
MREV2
Osiris

Always my favorite thing to upgrade without thinking about it - tires.

 

Good point! Tires are a must!

 

Too many abbreviations. Is there a newbies guide for all the lingo?

 

It's called Google... or the search button... We'd try to help, and we sometimes can but Google is your best friend here... no waiting for a response, and nobody can mess with your head either...

 

LOL i am a huge user of google. I am a member of another forum on a pretty different topic that has a lot of abbreviations and they had a newbie list so just asking.
