i WOULD SUGGEST A VORTECH V3. KEEP IT UNDER 420WHP TO BE SAFE. Besides that's more than enough!!!

Mine's a automatic as well.

Start researching the FI section of this forum if your serious about boosting the car. There are quite a few members here who have gone FI on a 5AT. Right now, don't worry about where to purchase a kit from, focus on which kits are available and which would be best for your goals. And you can only choose two : FAST - CHEAP - RELIABLE

I've done some research and I've settled for the Vortecc S/C. Price wise it goes close to this according to my research.

If you go turbo you'll be spending about 10-15K kit and professional installation...

S/C you'll be spending about 6-8K kit & installation.

I'm planning on buying a used V3 from this forum and pay no more than 3K. I have a shop in Chatsworth that will install and Tune for $1,800.-

Hi, I just bought a pristine, '03 G35 automatic. I am a '95 300zx twin turbo owner (mint).

My question is, should I bother making tasteful upgrades to the G35 auto or sell it and mod a MT?

Either way, what initial upgrades are traditional for this car? Looking for good sound and a power increase.

Thanks all.

Depends on what you want to do with the car. As a DD the automatic is fine. If you plan on tracking it regularly then get a manual.

The power difference between 6MT and auto isn't much. Typical mods are: mortordyne 5/16 spacer, z tube & kn drop in filter, art pipes, full exhaust of your choice. Then get a tune most people will have around 280 hp after all of that which isn't a great investment to me. But obviously you make that decision. I wish I would have just bought stuff for looks rather then performance. Goodluck

Can a lot of this be applied to the sedan as well? I'm a noob when it comes to performance parts. Any insight y'all can offer would be greatly appreciated :D

Its the same engines for the 07's and earlier so yes. The last ten pages or so should have a listing of useful mods. There's a thread just like this one in the sedan section too.

Hey guys, just wondering what kind of intake would give me the most hp gain, and a good sound on an 05 6mt coupe? Ive been reading up about it and alot of people are saying that the 298hp model wont get much hp gain at all from an aftermarket intake. If thats the case then what intake would give me the loudest/ best sound? keep in mind that I am on a fairly strict budget right now.

Also has anyone tried out the plenum spacers from motordyne? and if so is there a big difference between the 5/16 spacer and the 1/2" spacer?

A bit pricey but I love the look and sound of the nismo cold air intake. I recommend it

If you browse the forum you'll see they are the best choice when it comes to plenum spacers. Since you have the rev-up engine you will also need MotorDyne's MREV2, otherwise the spacer won't do anything.

No
