We have zero information about what you're driving, so post in this thread at least what year G35 you have. Then we can help you spend that $3K wisely. Regardless of the year you need a HKS exhaust and Fuji intake, that's a start....more info please.

to make the best, most informed decision that you are less likely to regret later... you should spend some time reading through intake/exhaust section, tuning/dyno section, drive-train section, wheels/tire section and suspension/brake section... also, check out the NA build section of tech forum on my350Z.

Anything less is really a waste of your (and everyone else) time.

 

sorry about that its a 2006 g35 coupe auto tranny

 

Wheels and drop, screw power. Turn heads.

Just my .02 but how bout you put it to work for you, invest in something.

 

Get a bunch of friends, rent a limo, bottle service at a club, and do it up right! Have one good night out! Blow it all!
















































K yeah, actually, don't do that...

 

Note you probably want hp/torque to the pedals for your driving habits.

Keep track of your driving habits in regard to engine rpms, etc. Then decide on performance mods. Many mods are appropriate for track, man for the street, and some can help in both conditions. It is not unusual for example for some intakes and exhaust systems to actually decrease performance for the street while giving good benefits for the track, and the same can also be true in reverse.

I would look at better tires and wheels based on handling, suspension, and especially something like brakes but don't fall for a lot of the hype for slotted and drilled as for many a good quality solid is what you may desire for most driving you will be doing. Slotted and drilled do have their place but most often they are for appearance only.

And as one user mentioned, maybe you do want to spend your $3 grand for appearance as in reality these cars perform better than most out of the box.

 

NA mods you won't get huge gains. Get an exhaust, Hi-flow cats, intake plenum spacer. Or like someone else said do apperence mods its better bang for your buck. Trade your rear diff with a 6MT guy or pick up a used 3.5FD on from the market place the lower gears will make you car feel faster than most NA mods will.

 

Coilovers and exhaust! Best mods for G35s. Its not worth to get NA mod.

 

if i were you i would get some coils and nice set of wheels

 

In the case of Hi-flow cats if one goes that route I would make sure you pick hi quality ones as they can cause problems for you if they decide to come apart internally.

I would go with the appearance mods myself as the car as far as I am concerned is 'fast enough'. Maybe upgraded the audio or for 3 grand one can actually put in a carputer for something totally high up on the cool scale.

 

can't do both for 3K

 

I think you might be able to. Maybe stack up another $500.

Find tein basics for like $500-$700 then find some volks or something for like $2300-$2800 with tires.

Used FTW.

New, definitely not.
