Quote: if I were to get Tein S tech springs and have a front camber kit would I need the rear? the drop says less than an inch so I was unsure if I could get it aligned within spec. Thanks.
yea you would need a rear camber kit with S techs, not with H techs though

Hello,
I'm a recent g35 owner, had the car for about a month now. I'm looking to get to 350hp without going FI. Aside from getting 5/16 spacers, intake (ztube, pop charger, etc...), and exhaust. Where should i focus my attention to get to this goal? i have a 2004 coupe 6mt. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

not happening without FI, unless just maybe if you´re talking crank HP not to the wheels

^Yeah you won't get even close to that, sorry to burst your bubble but you'll be lucky to break 300whp (on a forgiving dyno) without going FI :/

Thanks for the feedback. I would imagine I should upgrade intake, then hit the exhaust before jumping to a FI setup?

^Its definitely possible, but for the amount of money you'd be spending to get 300whp+ you can go FI with a mild tune with much better results.

hey guys, so ive been a 240sx head for a while, and just recently, ive decided to spring for a g35.... which i know absolutely NOTHING about lol. was gonna pick up a 06, 55k miles for about 19k from a mitsu dealer right around from my house. what would be the best combo of performance mods that i sholud get/look into on a 5k budget? i dont really want to go FI because im moving to New York soon and i want the car to last as long as possible on a decent N/A build. any and all suggestions and tips that help to get me started are appreciated! thanks in advance.

i would get the kinetix intake manifold some HFC's and headers/intake/exhaust n buy an osiris rev tuner and ur good 2 go that should run u close to 5 grand but well worth teh hp u gain plus they can tune it to ur specifications.

^The Kinetix manifold only works best on FI. Headers don't do much but make the car louder, MD ART pipes would be best.

Sup have been looking around and asking questions and am thinking about these mods for the car but do not know what order I'd like to do...

Currently is stock with Premium (no nav) 06 AT Coupe in OB. It will be a DD and I work downtown on some B roads daily unfortunately so coilovers, spacers, etc is something I'm going to agonize over for awhile b/c as much as I'd like to... yeah.

-5/16" spacer from MD
-NISMO front, sides, diffuser... should I do a Lip as well probably?
-MAYBE hikkata dori trunk
Talked these over with with konxeptionz in wheels thread for awhile...
-Vossen VVS-CV1 20x9F and 20x10.5R (or CV2 depending on pics on 10/15/2010)
-General UHP's.. +12 offset and 235/30 F and +17 275/30 R (assumes VVS-CV1)
-MD Shockwave TDX2 exhaust
-MD ART Tests? Not sure if needed or not.

Might do some headlight mods (want halos and LED) and some interior mods later down the road. Thats BEYOND enough to be starting with. Looking at a starting budget of $3500.

Any thoughts or critiques are appreciated. Have some small knowledge but am a general newbie here.
