G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
#2028
Hey guys, I just joined this website today and I just recently purchased my G35 in May.
I just wanted to say hello, and ask a question regarding modifications.
For my G, I want to add a MD 5/16" plenum spacer, a ztube, OEM Revup airbox, and a K&N drop in filter or AMSOIL filter.
I have a 2003 Black Obsidian G35 Coupe 5AT, and these are some of the modifications that I want to add soon. Would you recommend this setup as a starting point? Also, I don't wan't to go to far into modifcations such as adding in FI or anything over the next few years.
So what are your thoughts and what else would you recommend I do. My budget isn't really too high right now so what else should I add for under 750$. I know thats not too much to work with at the moment but I'm going to be saving up over the next few months.
Thank you, I appreciate any help that you guys give.

I was right where you are about a year ago. But you posted in the right thread, I was kind of posting all over the place, hence this thread lol. But I also have an 03 5AT and I love it. I got bit by the mod bug so much that after I did things without research and ended up getting screwed. I payed over $800 for a shop to install and cold air intake only to fidn out it is one of the riskiest and useless things to do. I did the plenum spacer and resonating testpipes, and after that I decided to run a 75 shot of nitrous on a NX system. Very fun, but used in moderation, when I want to catch my buddy in his is300 turbo tuned to 390 hp. Like everyone said this forum has TONS of information, but I have had the most fun with going to G meets and talking to the guys one on one. Now I'm doing my wheels and and suspension. Good luck

bigger injectors arent needed unless you go F/I... ART pipes are a nice gain for the money.... mrev(if you have rev up), then a tune(dyno tune.....e-tunes are garbage)

Unfortunately I don't have the rev up motor just a plain 06 5AT g35 coupe. I read the thread at tony from Motordyne post a few years ago about the art pipes. The low rpm hp/tq gain would be great. I've also looked on the FS thread look at parts ppl put on their cars just so I do a little research and I found PMAS HPX MAF sensor. But I can't find any threads that explain what these aftermarket MAF sensors do for are g35

I'd like to jump in and say I'm in a similar situation. I bought 04 6mt DG Coupe in mid March and love it so far! Just finding a good condition one with a clean history/black interior/6mt was difficult, and I had to have mine shipped from NY.
As this is a daily driver and heavy commuter car, the only mods I've done have been tint, wheels/tires, dark surrounding headlight tint(to get rid of the yellowing plastic), smoked side markers, a couple led light replacements, and a new Z-tube just last week. Roads in VA/MD are terrible, especially near my work in Baltimore so I don't plan on lowering it(plus I dislike lowered cars). I've also driven 14k+ miles in 4.5 months so no hardcore mods are in the future and I think I'm pretty much done. Maybe a painted front lip or a jump back to lighter Ray 19's, but otherwise just maintenance items are in the future.
Or an upgrade to an 07 or G37

I've looked into the VB upgrade yesterday but I also heard that with the Osiris tuner program you can adjust the 5AT. I also found a DIY project someone posted on here. Guy did a nice write up, do you have any pros and cons about the VB upgrade you done. Stillen also has a VB upgrade which they offer
