Ok I don't want to spend TOO much money to make my car quicker, I'm saving money for looks and handling. BUT I do want a little extra power to balance out the weight of the things I will add.
Anyway with that being said, if someone were to give you $500 cash and you could only spend it on performance parts for the G35 to gain the most HP, what parts would you purchase?

 

MREV2 + Spacer and a Z-tube, and maybe some test pipes

 

$500 won't buy much torque increase maybe 4-5-6 lb/ft so that would reduce quarter mile by 0.05 seconds........roughly the equivalent amount of losing 50-60 pounds of weight.

Be careful about buying more tire/wheel weight or sound system weight or challenged girl friends/passemgers.

Japanese cars are designed for a maximum of 150 pounds per seating position.

"The average American woman's weight has increased 11 pounds (7%) in the 10 years between the gathering of statistics, while her height has remained about the same (an increase of 0.1 inch or 0.2% taller). Earlier I had reported a weight of 152 pounds (69 kg) and height 5' 3.7" (162 cm). Now, it's 163 pounds (74 kg) and 5' 3.8" (163 cm).

Men have have also increased their weight by an average of 10 pounds (6%), from 180 to 190 pounds, while remaining essentially the same height: 5' 9".

The USA results are from the National Center for Health Statistics, based on two studies: NHANES III (1988 — 94) and, the most recent available, HANES (1999 — 2000).

Canada: The average Canadian woman's weight is 153 pounds (69.4 kg) and height is 5' 3.4" (161 cm). Her male counterpart weighs 182 pounds (82.7 kg), and is 5' 8.5" (174 cm) tall."


My point is this has become a significant design challenge for ASIAN and some European car makers.......to accomodate US

 

doesnt that exceed 500 bucks tho?

anyway, those are good starter mods

 

USED Mrev + Used spacer and a Technosquare reflash. That might just slip under the $500 limit.

 

Yea, MREV 2 + 5/16" spacer + Z-Tube + Stillens CAI will give you the best
bang for you buck. Forget the test pipes.....not legal in Washington or any
where else! Try prices at www.everythingg35.com or check with our own
marketplace for some good used parts.......LOL

 

save more!

 

IMHO the Z tube won't net you squiddly. The Stillen CAI, eh... I don't know. Not for retail that's for sure. I got one but only because I got it cheap.

 

doesnt the ts reflash exceed 500 on its own..?

 

Ack, you are probably right. My fault.

 

I don't really care about too much power I want style. I just want a little extra power so when I put my fat friends in the car it'll drive like if they werent in it haha

 

MD spacer and intake for 500 or so... some overlays ^_^
