hey guys, yeah im a newbie. i know the basics basiclly. anyway i just got an 04 g35 coupe, stick. all stock. i got about 800 saved up. where do i start first for performance wise?


thanks!

 

a powerlab spacer, and some test pipes

 

hey thanks for the help! can u explain what all that does exactly? and where i could look into getting it? thanks much appreciated

 

Z TUBE INTAKE !!! still need to get mine

 

Motordyne FTW!!!

 

A spacer will increase intake volume allowing the car to have more air pulled in, test pipes replace the factory cats which are very restrictive

 

Don't expect to get tons of power out of $800 on a G, but start with intake+plenum+testpipe should give you a little smile.

 

thanks a lot guys. i gotta get ready for class then hit work so i can save that $$$$ haha. anyone know a good place where i can upload pics? i tried photobucket but cant seem to post my g! well im off to class hope u guys drive safe today in the g. see u guys soon

 

I always up photobucket not sure are you getting an error?

 

Hey, yeah I think its an error..I'll fix it when I get home. Damn I'm in class and I can't stop thinking about moding my g. I'm really interested with spacer, intake, and testpipes. Someone told me to get the ecu first and 1st stage flywheel clutch or whatever than a tune. But I think I wanna go with what u guys said and add a tune also..what do u guys think?

 

Amen - $800 bucks is a drop in the bucket. Get a Motodyne spacer and some HFC to start and your $800 is pretty much done. Also, stillen sway bars are a nice upgrade as well and not too expensive. Plan to spend at least $1200 on a high quality exhaust. Tires will cost you $800 to $1K - rims can be astronomical.

 

First mod on your G, MotorDyne 5/16" spacer....661-993-5111 and the
Stillen CAI/Z-Tube combo....1-800-711-4120. Test pipes will give you
more HP but if you get caught with them in my state it would cost you
$1200 plus....your choice, legal or broke!

Don't get the ECU upgrade and stg1 clutch, waste of money. First of all ECU doesn't do much unless you are heavily modded your G. Plenum, intake and DP don't require ECU upgrade yet. Second is the clutch, if its still drivable, then drive it. BTW, if you live in snowy state and its the only car you have, $800 is good investment for a set of snow tires. =) my $.02

 

Definitely get a good pair of snow tires if you plan on driving in the winter, because the stock ones are horrible in snow.

Intake+Plenum+ HFCs.

Be aware that test pipes change the sound, and some don't like it.

 

okay guys finally back home. so i think im gunna go with the spacer, intake, and hfc. anyone know any good sites? i think im gunna order the spacer and intake first first thing monday. thanks for all the advice.. ill post up my G once i figure out how to do it
