Flyinb501's Intro Thread
 

Hey guys, been here for about a year and a half so I figure I'd finally do an intro. I picked up my G about a year ago, and finally have it looking like I wanted.

I've gotten a lot of good info on here so thank you to every one who contributes!

2005 Coupe, 6MT. So far... Fast Intentions HFC's, 350Z Y pipe, Z tube + K & N, MREV2, clear side markers, 20/25 mm spacers, USA Spec Ipod integration, DIY black out grille, Tein 350Z S Tech springs, SPC front and rear camber kits.

I just finished clay barring, polishing, and waxing so I'll post some pics.

Beautiful OB coupe! Very nice and super clean, debadging the trunklid would even make it more so. You added MREV2 did you also include the 5/16" spacer too? Thanks for sharing....:biggthumpup:
Gary

Thanks Gary. I didn't add a spacer. I read mixed reviews about the spacer and the rev up motor so I just went with the MREV2. Maybe I will still add a spacer though...

The car is definitely quicker now with the HFCs and MREV2. It sounds great too! I wouldn't mind it even a little louder. Maybe I'll go with a full exhaust in the future, but I'm taking a little break now after the suspension install and detail.

Nice looking car man. I assume you were part of the MNAudi Crew? What was you screen name over there? I'm also a former B5/B6 A4 driver (B5 for life!).

Where are you located in MN?

Thanks. I wasn't really an active member. I posted a few times. Same screen name. I was more active with the local crew when I lived in AZ for college.

How do you like your G coming from the Audis?

The G35 is definitely nice. It certainly doesn't have the class of an Audi, nor the wonderful interior. Plus I miss AWD in winter (passing 4WD trucks in a blizzard is awesome). But RWD + a lot less under steer + more stock power = More than happy.

I jumped cars every 2 years previously, but I think I'll be sticking with the G35 for a while.

Nice looking CLEAN coupe. Thanks for posting up.

I agree. Some things about my Audi that I miss are the interior, and the clutch/ shifter. I hate the clutch on this car, and I think I will eventually install a short shifter. I also hate the seat belt.

More stock power is great, and I love RWD. I have a truck that I drive in the winter when it snows. I also love the looks of the coupe, and it sounds great. All in all I'm pretty happy with the car, and I'll probably keep it for at least another year. I think for the money it was definitely the best choice for me.

just wondering, on your usa spec, where did you ground that wire behind the headunit? I can not find a place to ground at all! Thanks!

Nice starting mods btw!

very clean

Looks good. If you were to get a full exhaust I would also get a spacer and a tune. Did you see any gain with the 350z y-pipe or is it just for sound?

w4kj4k, I don't really remember, but I think I grounded to a random screw on the back of the HU.

walshtj, I installed the Y pipe at the same time as the HFC's. I did notice a power gain, but I don't know how much of it can be attributed to the y pipe.

Clean Ride! Welcome!
