2005 G35x Mods ???

Hey guys,

I am a proud new 2005 G35x owner and new to the forum.

I have been reading through alot of the post looking for anyone/ advice on G35x mods and haven't found too much.

The mods I am considering, but do not know if they are compatible are:
1.) Injen Cold Air Intake OR JWT Pop Charger & Z-Tube COMBO
2.) Stillen Exhaust (True Dual) G35 Sedan
3.) Technosquare ECU remapping.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you !!

Well option one is open to you. But I'm from the school that says the oem intake is best modified with the Z-tube and your choose of performance panel filter in the oem air box. Intake mods can bring their own enjoyable induction howl, but once my custom exhaust was on the car, it could no longer be heard.

You cannot use the Stillen exhaust, Borla or any other system beyond maybe one of the rear section only system's, even that I doubt. Your AWD system forced the piping to be routed totally different then RWD sedans. You can't even use a aftermarket Y-pipe. Stillen or Borla had mentioned that they would be working on a system. I would give them a call and ask to speak to someone in product developement and do some cage rattling.

Technosquare does not have any ECU mods out for any 2005 car, and since I do not believe that all 2004 cars have even been covered as yet, I would not expect a 2005 ECU reflash from them in the short term. I do support the mod when you have other mods that typically cause the oem ECU mapping to cause lean condition's.

G35Sedan,

Thanx for the response.

Looks like I do not have many options at this point.

I emailed Technosquare and they responded saying that they will have a G35x mapping in a month or two, however, he did not mention for which model year.

Also, I am not sure what you ment my the lean conditions regarding ECU.

I'm in the same boat. I have an AWD and I want some mods. I've been looking for a Z-tube with no luck. Dealer wants $106 with out all the parts needed for the install.

I have installed JDM clear corners, did the side marker blinker mod, and got some tint put on....

Geez dudes, just order one from one of the sponsors. It's not a big deal to install yourself. Also get a CAI, and Crawford (or APC if u can wait) plenum. Some grounding wires are nice too. You prob won't be running lean after these mods but get a dyno to check your A/F ratio, hp and torque. Make sure the dyno can handle AWD. Hmm... reminder I've gotta do it too. Lol!

I had a G35x for about 8 months...great car, but for somebody that wants to mod, its not very friendly. I had 19's and Eibach springs (for the RWD) on the car along with some mnior cosmetic changes....

To make a long story short, i sold it and got a 6MT Coupe....Let the Modding Begin (or continue i should say)

Good Luck

So, how does the X feel with the SC? Have you done any dyno or track runs?
