hmmm i thought for some reason that they ran more like $100 each side..
let me get that link you found them costing that much!!!!

 

New valve covers are closer to $200 each. There's a DIY on replacing just the spark tube gaskets, but that involves cutting into the valve covers. Deff not a novice task.

 

Yea the covers on my ebay watch list are 191.

 

So with that being said 4-500 for the job really isn't bad at all. I'm sure the dealer must be at about a grand for the whole process.

 

Jersey there's a guy parting out in here blackmax who's selling valve covers for sixty each

 

Thanks man
You know if they're used or not off hand ?

 

Oh they're clearly used

 

So I bought a 2004 G35 it has 145k miles on it and I was wondering if I should mod it and what mods to put on it Things I've done to it so far -plasti dip rims -tints -nismo exhaust (bought it like that) - blue skyline lights inside car - blacked out grill - bought black spoiler -tinted headlights taillights I also just ordered blue brake covers and led fog strip lights Also was it wondering if it was a good investment FYI I'm only a 19 year old college student

 

Just here to let u know to brace urself for what u got comin

 

as in ? Be specific

 

Black spoiler, caliper covers, and tinted headlights.

 

i think he means maintenance wise.

 

College student? I'd save your money for maintenance. Check the condition of your drive belts, trans and diff fluids, plugs, and timing chain. Never know if the previous owner kept maint on schedule without paper work. It's better to catch things early then to let them fail

 

Hey yall im new here. I just ordered some new rims and tires. Dont have a car yet but im buying another G when i get back to the states. I had a sedan when i was 17. Just a quick list of starter mods, also i wana get a coupe, any imputs on what i can change out with other brands and stuff let me know. Opinions welcome...

Megan racing coilovers
Megan racing catback exhaust
Megan racing headers
Y pipe (reccomended brand?)
Test pipes (recomended brand?)
Injen CAI with bypass filter
Unorthadox underdrive pulley kit
Cobb tunning accessport
Front/rear lip & side skirts (recomended brand?)
Short throw shifter (recomended brand)
Strut bars (recomended brand?)
Sway bars (recomended brand?)
Motordyne 5/16 spacer
Motordyne Mrev2

Just throwing out some ideas to see what people think, and other ideas? Just doing some N/A work see where i can get.

 

I'd stay away from megan racing(poor quality), no underdrive pulleys(lightweight flywheel has bigger gains and is safer), no cai(z1 ztube and K&N will yield same gains), get a true dual exhaust(won't need a ypipe), motordyne ART pipes, don't get headers unless you do cams too(ppe long tube headers show huge gains with cams), and I believe the cobb AP only works for the 03-04 ecus but I could be wrong. Pretty much everyone here will tell you to go with Uprev for tuning... and sway bars will help a ton more than strut bars for handling. Sways are probably the #1 mod for the price with these cars. It's night and day difference
