Seems like we've getting a lot more sadly neglected cars to fix up. This one spent two months at a local shop (that doesnt work on Z's and G's), and the owner couldnt even get a call back for a status update. So Doug contacted us to rescue his stranded babe. His G35 had originally had a Vortech SC on it, and it never really ran with much enthusiasm....so he wanted us to change that.
Since the motor was already forged, prior to the car's arrival, we took over by upgrading everything else. We left the engine as is, and put a nice gameplan together to acheieve a nice clean 400-450whp DD without compromising the daily driving capability of the car whatsoever. We also avoided taxing the stock auto trans too much.
Greddy TT Kit with FMIC
Fcon Vpro Complete Package
In House, Custom Knock Amp and EVC molding and paint
HKS EVC
Defi Gauge Collection
CJM RFS
FP Valve Body Upgrade
Greddy Evo TiC Exhaust
The runs like stock, except with about 200+whp more than stock.
If you havent driven or riden in a 5AT turbo car, you will shat yourself. Even with "just" 430whp", this thing hauls **** in a very scary way. Enjoy!

Very nice and you are right Sharif,it is different in an auto vs man as we dont loose boost between shifts as bad as a manual does.

Wow looking good and happy its running perfect, I hope the owner enjoys it! I know he feels, having the car at a local shop that doesn't know wtf they're doing, thats what i went through, glad he made the right decision and brought it you guys.
