ok so im thinking about selling my 04 G and buying this twin turbo g35 it has 101,xxx miles tho. it looks clean its a JWT twin turbo kit it has wheels. full brembo package aero kit i just would like to know is that safe for me to buy? is that to high of mileage for a twin turbod G? all the help i can get will be appreciated. thanks

heres the URL for the ebay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...AQ:MOTORS:1123

 

yeah, go for it. great deal.

 

im just scared if i get it and the engine blows on me the next day. and there goes 5 grand for a new engine then labor

 

is the engine built? not much info on it... i wonder how the airflow is with the stock bumper

 

Shoot the seller a long laundry list of questions including how many miles boosted, when was the last compression test done, who installed and tuned the TT kit, is the motor fully built, etc.

I would definitely be weary though about a 100k mile boosted G on the stock block

 

well i talked to the guy already, well my brother did who i sa car dealer, and got a lot more information on the car. and he sent us a dyno for the car. well if i was to get the car im gonna have to get a KARUMA Z.. but the guy sais the engine is perfect. :/

 

fine. The intercoolers go directly where the vents go, and the filter sits almost exactly where a regular pop-charger goes. An aftermarket bumper really doesn't do much for "airflow" for the JWT kit.

 

lol i actually am very dumb when it comes to engines and turbos. but you are right about the jwt intercoolers, i guess the Nismo bumper would fit it better. but i will be checking the car out next week when im gonna pick up a hood from new york, and i will test drive it and im bringing my boy who is a mechanic

 

I would be extremely wary. Most TT cars have a massive list of parts that they use to ensure the motor is running fine and safe. This guy has nothing, except for a TT that was installed at a dealer. I mean, where did he get it tuned, how many miles does the turbo have on it?

There seems to be a lack of important information here that anyone who knows anything about a turbo would include if they were trying to sell the car, or hide if it is really that bad.

 

Why not just buy this one and call it a day:

why dont you just TT ur car?? 03 and 04 are about the same shiet. just has tire pressure monitoring system. thats it...

 

Exactly my thoughts. You can't just go pick up any FI car without knowing its history, who tuned it, if the internals have been upgraded or not. Too many variables come into play, and you don't want to get shafted giving up a car that is reliable for something that could potentially screw you.

 

Move along.

This is not the G you are looking for.

The only time you buy a Turbo'd car is when you did the install yourself or a reputable instaler do it for you.

Any time you buy a modded car you are buying that persons problems.

 

Don't take it the wrong way, but if you don't know your way around an engine you prob shouldn't be looking at a car like this even if it had 20K miles on it.

Highly modded cars like this aren't exactly turn the key and drive like it's stock cars *sometimes* in terms of reliability. The potential for stuff to break or go wrong is greater

 

I agree with everyone else, do your homework before checking out the car so you know the proper question. Im still learning all these builds so im new to engines to but I wouldnt buy a TT one without knowing everything their is to know. I say you find something else or like many other suggested, build your own.
