New to the "G"

First i'd like to introduce myself,

Hello all my name is Val and so far so good. Your site has helped me learn alot about the g35 and made a believer out of me. I fell in love with this car and decided to buy one. I am the proud owner of a white 03 g35 sedan.
At first I really did not believe a v6 would propel this car as I had read here but boy was I surprised! This car flies and my grin was bigger than my face. So far so good with the car, the only things that I had issues with are in the lighting forums. I hope to learn alot more from this site and do a lil bit of moding to let her open up a lil better. In the mean time, here are some pics, BTW, yes it has a doggie door(i'm fine with it) and i'm 23.

On I-35W next to Texas Motor Speedway


front view


So what are the most bang for the buck mods? and please help with lighting.

thanks for everything!

You're already one step ahead of the game with the Nismo body kit and tinted windows.

Welcome and congrats

best bang for your buck is the plenum spacer.. Motordyne offers a 5/16" and 1/2" spacers and I have never heard a single complaint on here about them. Z tube and JWT pop charger/stillen intake will open up the intake system.. no real gains but great sound! then exhaust

thanks! I always thought it was called White Diamond Its a beautiful car and down here where I am from (Baytown, Tx) there are very few. I have actually seen people turn their heads

I just need to fix my corners which are out for some reason and that extra lil bulb in the headlight thats out too.

I'v read that the 1/2" spacers gives just a lil extra hp but why do peple preffer the 5/16" one over the 1/2?

I know the z-tube is the one from a 350z.

Jwt pop charger , don't know. Not one of those electric turbos off ebay is it? j/p!

BTW if you think you can help, especialy with #1 on my light problems here is link https://g35driver.com/forums/lighting/164337-some-my-lights-dont-work.html

can you take a pix of the little bulb you are talking about I am assuming you are refering to your signal/parking light since other than your headlight and fog light it's the only other light in the headlight assembly. It's amber correct?... Anyway to replace that you will need to remove your front bumper to get to the headlight assembly it's a pain in the **** but that's the way Infiniti designed them... JWT Pop Charger is Jim Wolf Technologies Popcharger it replaces your stock air intake and mounts to the Z tube I have the JWT Popcharger it's cheaper than the Stillen intake. Welcome to the forum.

Congrats and welcome.

As for the spacer 5/16" gives more power in the mid-range which is what you use most of the time.

Me too, Doggy Doors rule! ARF! Very envious of that Nismo front-end, too. Nice ride and welcome.

Congrats!! The first thing I did was get a set of Philips Ultinon 6K bulbs. Pretty cheap on Ebay. Get a Motordyne spacer....I went with the 5/16 spacer and its a noticeable difference.
