New member with a new pick up

Hey Guys, as you can tell by the title I'm a new member to the forum with a new (old) G35. I just picked this up today. It has 58,xxx miles and i got it for $13,560. I definitely wanna put some performance such as wheels, coilovers, HKS exhaust, intake etc. and eventually I would like a twin turbo. Let me know what you guys this and what brands are good. Thank You





PS its a manual.

Congrats! Welcome to the family. Your username will look silly if you keep the car for a long time haha. I'd avoid HKS exhaust. I have Tanabe coilovers and I love them, though you won't get SUPER low with them. Wheels are pretty much all your own opinion... Lots of options here. Don't twin turbo unless you just got stupid money to throw.

Excellent pick up. Don't waste your time or money with CAIs, they do nothing for these cars but make it sound a lil better. Get a 5/16th plenum spacer, Z Tube, K&N Filter and either Test Pipes or High Flow Cats. Those mods in conjunction really help the engine breath better. Not sure if you have a manual or auto. If auto I wld also recommend the Transgo Shift Kit to improve everything abt your auto. Coilovers, camber kits and Sway bars will drastically improve your handling. Everything else is preference. & stay away from turbos unless as stated before you have very deep pockets... Like $20K to do it the right way. Meaning not have your engine blow up on you... Good luck and do a lot of research using the SEARCH function. This forum has a lot of info and any question you can think of has more than likely been asked and answered a hundred times.

Hey, Thanks guys!! When it comes down to it, I'm prob the biggest noob on this forum so I might ask some noob questions. So please just bear with me haha but really I'm just reading a lot of the stickys. Again guys thanks a lot for some of the suggestion mods. I do greatly appreciate it. I'll post pics throughout my modding process.
