whats up guys im new to the forum. and i just purchased my 04 g35 coupe AT about 2 months ago. havent really been planning on doing any mods. but i went to a meet last night with a whole bunch of g's and it got me going. from what i read here it looks like to start off get a z tube and a plenum 5/16" spacer would be good. anything else that you guys would recommend. price is not an issue, but would like to start small and work my way up.

MD spacer + ztube is a good start. Then i would go High flow cats or testpipes or MD ART pipes. Then get the exhaust. and last get a tune.
or just go FI and make real power.

I have a completely stock 04 G35 coupe auto (14.489@99.27 with 2.2 60 ft.). As for the first mod, I want the UTEC Turbo XS tuner and data logger. Its price has been going down as of late. Problem is, I'm also contemplating on trading the G35 coupe for a G37 X AWD coupe due to winter (Toronto, Canada). Don't know if it works for G37s too.
As with my previous car, tuner and data logger comes first, then Force Induction comes next. This way I know the base parameters. Plus tuning is really fun to do. Full throttling on highways in the dead of night while logging all the parameters and studying and tuning with my laptop once I get home. Boy I miss tuning.. even for naturally aspirated.
The UTEC used to be $1,000, now they're $750. Going down, down, down..
I also like a new front bumper. Mine has scratches when I bought the car (that's why it was cheaper with only 40K miles on it).
My previous car club had an automatic, FWD, 3.8 ltr. V-6 twin turbo, intercooled, self tuned, NO NOS! It runs 8.56@ 157 mph with 1.56 60 ft. Now with single turbo, auto transmission and it's still running 8.59 @ 157 mph with NO Nitrous.

Why are you selling it, you need that. Price is tempting, but I got laid off last month and still waiting for a better job offer (Aviation, better location). I'm most likely ready by end of june or july. I'll search the classified at that time. thanks..
Does it work for a G37 AWD coupe? Because I'm thinking of trading my G35 coupe for that due to winter driving..
