Just got a 04 G coupe and wanted to start working on its performance want to make it as fast as I can would like to start of with the basics then work my way up any suggestions?

 

Exhaust then TT or SC.

If you are looking to increase the performance and make it as "fast as you can" F/I is the only way to go. Aside from a motor swap and then F/I.

Unless you empty your pockets and do a full on N/A build, most parts are good for just a little kick in the pants.

You can do all the basics (increase airflow in and out), Clutch, flywheel. tuning etc, but you are not going to turn your car into a race car.
Hp per $ for this car is low, Nissan did their homework.

 

You'd probably want to post in the coupe forum. Congrats on the purchase anyways! If you're thinking of big gains, go FI. You won't see any large gains with bolt-ons. Oh, and get a tune.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, but what it exactly is a F/I??

 

Forced Induction as in a supercharger or turbo's. The big dollar items

 

yea they run about 5 gran plus! how much would i be looking at to tune it?

 

Moved to the coupe section. Valdez - search and read, read and search. This has all been covered many, many times. Some good places to start:

What Swivel said.

Fair warning if you post noobish questions without reading in the FI sections you will get flamed pretty hard. Make sure you read a LOT before asking questions.

 

Start With some of this.
-Testpipes or HFC
-ztube with stillen intake
-MotorDyne Iso Spacer
-Then start with the Osiris Tune

-Then work from there:

 

Read this but in gods name do not ask this type of question there.

Thats a good bolton start, but to see real gains you have to F/I..

 

I have a few bolt ons laying around. a 5/16 spacer, jet performance tuner and the stock plenums that could be polished. e mail me at chaser9478@yahoo.com

 

dont start not worth it.

not to say i dont enjoy the way the car runs now but for an extra 30-40 hp for 3k. compared to the evos, stis, gtis, mustangs price per hp is high.

 

I meant to say I have that stuff if anyone else wants it. The G is a great car to mod. Simply because it out handles most everything else. Suspension mods go quite well with the F/M platform and will provide the most fun for the money. The G isn't cheap but you can get ultra performance for around 10G, and it will out drive many of the rwd competitors.
