Hey Henry. What's a sedan??

 

srsly wtf is a sedan? U don't know till it blows by u. And then ur like WTF? Was that a sedan? BAHAHHAHAHAHAH!

 

That has never happened to me Vlad so I still don't know what a sedan is.

 

Why do you have a 3inch axle back?

That's a little big for an N/A engine, and Megan is straight crap.

Also, you might want to look into smaller and lighter wheels because those 19's are doing nothing for performance.

When do you redline 3rd with the 3.5? do you have to shift into 4th on the runs?

 

Why do you have to ask if you think you already know so much??

To quote your stupidity or should I say lack of knowledge, 3" axleback exhaust is not a little big for an N/A 3.5 liter V6 engine. Especially when I'm running stock cats, stock y-pipe, and a restrictive 2.5" OEM crush bent midpipe. Megan is crap is strictly your own opinion, which I'm guessing is based on zero experience with the specific product whatsoever.

Thanks again for the suggestion, but I have already looked into smaller and lighter wheels, and those are the ones I'm running on right now! My 19" wheels weigh 19lbs each and the overall diameter is 3.2% less than stock with 235/35/19 tires all around. In fact, the wheels you're referring to help me shave off 3-5 lbs of rotational mass compared to the stock 17"s.

I don't redline 3rd with the 3.5 final drive... If I did, I'd end up with a 15 second pass every single time. Anyone who mastered the art of driving the 5AT in sports mode, knows that anytime you hit the limiter, the tranny won't be able to recover until a good 1-1.5 second later. Therefore, to answer your question, yes, I do shift to 4th at the very end of the 1/4 mile.

Do you have anymore suggestions that I don't already know?

DOMO

 

 

owned him lol

 

Damn our cars haha this 14 second shiet is embarrassing I got to go to the tracks and see how I do, I pray I atleast get 13s ugggh....

 

Track? Damn... thought you meant a proper track.. you know, with corners, hairpins, etc...

 

EHL OH EHL PWNT THAT SCRUB

 

^.....Ouch hahaha....

 

Lol, a 3inch axle back, talk about a waste. That's almost as dumb as running a full 3inch exhaust on an N/A G35. At least you didn't get a matching 3inch mid-pipe

With the drastic diameter increase at the end of the exhaust system you're losing low end. I actually used to have a "muffler" setup kind of like your axle back, and while it sounded better, the dyno showed that I lost power between 3500 and 4500 (couldn't do lower rpms since I have the primitive setup of the 5AT). It also felt like I lost more low end from a idle, and my standing start was probably a little slower, even with torque braking. I agree that the biggest bottlenecks in the stock exhaust are the y-pipe and the muffler, but you're taking the wrong approach. You may think I'm wrong, but many people report low end loses running only an axle back.

You'd be better off getting a full cat-back that's 2.25in and not more than 2.5in, or even resonated test pipes/HFC's with a stock exhaust. That way you could at least make power. In terms of a cat-back, why don't you consider Motordyne? They'll be coming out with their line of systems soon.

As for Megan, when I had my old car, GTI, I bought a set of coilovers from them and they were the biggest piece of garbage I have ever put on the car. Within 10,000miles, one of the coils blew and Megan was horrible about getting me a replacement. As for the G35, I don't understand why you would buy Megan parts when you can get much better alternatives. A friend that owns a shop partially sponsored by Megan even agrees with me that they're crap. In fact, the only good thing they make is suspension products, and I obviously haven't had luck with those. I've heard of welds leaking on Megan test pipes for our cars, and I don't think anyone that's running fast times is doing so with Megan products.

As for you wheels, that's great, but you don't factor in the additional weight of the larger tires. I've run lighter larger wheels (oem 19's vs. oem 16's vs. oem 17's) only to be disappointed because the extra weight of the larger tires on the 19inch wheels almost negates the lighter weight of the wheel, but hey, you're the expert here.

The art of the 5AT?
What rpm are in you 4th when crossing the line? Maybe you should get Gordgee's 10-wire grounding kit for the 5AT. Mine cuts shift time in MM by half.

The fact is, your 3.5 ratio, and the smaller diameter of your tires, effectively gives you a 3.55 final drive ratio. The extra shift into 4th is making you slower. It eats up your trap speed and slows down your ET.

Maybe you should get a tune that will help you make power up top with a revised rev limit so that you can run out 3rd. Might not be the best idea to rev out to 7200 on a consistent basis, due to the DE's somewhat weak connecting rod bolts, but at least you won't be losing trap speed and adding time becasue of an extra shift and your "sweet" wheel/tire combo. It might also fix your optimistic speedo from the smaller overall diameter of your tires.

Your car can be faster than what it is. I don't understand why you don't use proven parts, such as Motordyne spacers or a nice cat-back (why buy Skunk over Motordyne? Is it a cost issue?). As I mentioned earlier, wait until Motordyne comes out with their exhaust, and you should notice a horsepower increase and faster times. Tony is saying that he's found a couple of setups that give large gains. As for the 3.5 FD (3.55 with your tire/wheel combo)...good luck, that was your own doing.

Either way, maybe next time you can take constructive criticism without being such a ****ing douchebag becasue you certainly don't know everything about the G35.

DOMO

 

Hey, at least you're not dumb enough to run a waste of money axle back.

I see you're not immune to the pointless intake setups for the vq though.

How does it feel to know that your Pop Charger is sucking in hot air and raising air temps in the intake tract? It's alright though, I'm sure it sounds good.

 

wtf is going on here.
