Exclamation The G Over the Years - No 56K

So the G has come a long way since I first got it, and is now riding strong with 71,00 miles on it. Just wanted to throw up a few shots of the car as it has progressed throughout the years. Unfortunatly I do not have any shots of the car throughout its first year of ownership. I originally recieved this G35 for my 18th birthday (last October 26th) with 45,000 miles on it. It has been in the family since 0 miles, December of 2002.

A shot of the G from the front, before any real major damage. The date is off, but in the right year at least, this was 2 months before my birthday.


And the mods i recieved it with:






Notice I did the taillights almost as soon as I got the car into my posession. It was a week after I first met Paul. I continued working on the car after the taillights, put in a z-tube, and we moved onto the interior and started with the suede.








Notice the headliner isn't done yet. This was finished a month after the rest of the interior, once the exterior of the car was fixed. With this fix came the blacked out headlights, and the painted lowers. Clear corners where installed by now also.







Now the car was left alone for a little bit and then i dropped it on a full 350z suspension. This included springs, shocks, struts, sway bars, and top mounts from a 350z track edition. Combining these with a 45 profile tire gave me a huge handling improvement:






Now came the color happy mods lol. One of these shots was used in Nissan Sport Magazine next to a discussion about brakes for an 03 RWD sedan =] Take a look:










Then I ACCIDENTLY saw a G35 Sedan in my color, with a gialla style grill, and a for sale sign. So I called up the owner and ended up with a free grill swap, my OEM one for his ebay Gialla replica.

Now it was about damn time to put some rims onto this bitch, so that was the next thing. Following the rims I put on 10k HID kit for my headlights, and an OEM style spoiler. Here is the G now:

the exterior is a huge improvement, well done. nice rims. i'm not a fan of the interior, but that's just me. different strokes...

the car clearly had the hell beaten out of it before you got it, but you've brought it back to life.

it was my dads first luxury car, so to speak. and then my mother learned to drive on it . . .

as far as performance i finished the intake with a KN filter and a z-tube. Put in a coupe-midpipe and brand new gaskets onto the exhuast (once i come across a good local deal on a rear section ill do that ).

I second the bulbs from www.autolumination.com. Me and many other guys over on InfinitiFX.org tried the superbrightleds bulbs and ALL had issues with them going out or flickering within a short period of time (1-2 months). I've had my autolumination LED bulbs for almost a year with no problems. Higher quality bulb for sure.
