A z tube and clear corners were my main "mods" lol this year.

I am scared to add mine but 6 figures wouldn't really surprise me


This year: please note no mods were planned at all for this year, I was going to tear down the 3.8L and possibly get some machine work done if I had time I was going to reassemble it.

Fully rebuilt and rebalanced 3.8L engine, no F'N around this time everything was checked and double checked right down to bolt stretch.

Project Mu BBK

Wingless trunk

CS style rear bumper

SFR 3:1 tank replacing the two ARC tanks I bought this year

Burnt Ti nismo shift **** to replace TK one

Burnt Ti ARC cooling plate.

Rebuilt tranny.....with a F'ed 5th gear(hard to roll street bikes on the hiway with no 5th )

Polished barrels on wheels (were color matched before)

Got a bit of retune that is still not complete?

An ARC oil cooler still haven't installed it.

Richie strut bar

JDM tail lights

Project Mu lug nuts

JDM double din kit

Forgot to add, also got an Iconic grill to show off the ARC oil cooler

Whiteline compression rod bushings

ARC oil cap

new centre caps for the wheels

and finally I also added an APS oil pan.

old rear shot







new rear shot








painted barrels/ old BBK/old centre caps/old lugs



Polished barrels new centre caps/new BBK with new lugs





Old engine bay




Old engine bay with ARC catch can





Latest engine bay....brutal picture and nothing had been polished/cleaned since the engine install. I am just filling the coolant after engine install in this picture, I should try to get a new picture that does the new set up more justice.





Old shift **** vs new one, the flash kills the purple blue tint to the new Nismo Ti ****




Next year:

Finish tune, get launch control working, traction control, flat shifting ect ect

Possibly a triple plate clutch and a tranny with working 5th gear

Some 18" wheels with Mickey Thompson ET streets

New wing from Slammered-inc

Paint the poor matching rear bumper at the same time as the trunk

Possibly a new front bumper maybe side skirts

Thinking about a 3" exhaust maybe a custom made one

$15k in mods. Incredible. You could buy ANOTHER 6MT coupe for that. Or you could have put that into a better car. I know you guys love these dress up mods. I just don't get it. I guess I'm more of a function over form kind of guy. You pimpers seem to be the exact opposite. Nothing wrong with it. I just don't swing that way.

I'm thorougly impressed by some of your lists.

Owned my '05 G Sedan since August 2011.

Mods so far:
Z Tube
JWT Pop Charger
18'' Staggered G37s rims
Replica clear corners
Interior LED bulbs
6000k HID bulbs
Suntek Carbon Window Film (35% front, 18% rear)
Razo A/T Quick Shift ****
Debadged "I N F I N I T I"

For 2012:
5/16'' Plenum Spacer
Tein S Techs

Don't see much modding past that. Trying to save for other things in life makes it difficult to mod as much as you guys!
