I am about to buy a g35x, not settled on the year yet, but 06 or older.

I don't know anything about cars, and half the posts I read, I can't read because I don't know all the abbreviations or slang yet...

I'm just wondering if anyone has an X and a list of what they did to it, etc?

Or also a list of things you can't do...

Like I was looking at wheels and I think someone said don't stagger them on an X or something... I didn't even know about that at all, I assumed you would just buy 4 wheels and tires the same size that fit on your car....

See, I'm a total noob

I will continue to read on here, but there seems to be a lot less info on the g35x.

Thanks!

 

engine performance-wise you can do all the same as you see everyone else do...

Suspension gets a little limited (I'm sure X owners will chime in)...

Wheels and tires should be okay - other than stagger (however, I think I’ve read that some have)... but OEM pre 07 non X weren’t staggered either – although many have done so aftermarket…

Have you read thought this thread (I’m not sure how much X stuff is here):

Wheels and tires. There are 4 people that I know of running staggered. They are having no problems. But if you want to be able to rotate your wheels then bet non.

Suspension. All rwd/coupe/350z springs will drop our car. It all depends on how much of a drop you want. For struts/shocks the rears from any of the cars will fit. I would suggest if want something for the fronts is to get koni rears and then send your fronts to koni to get the wet kit.

Hope this helps.

 

As for exhausts, I just went through compiling all the info for my new 2005 G35X, so I'll share it with you ^^. As far as I understand, any exhaust that will fit a coupe or sedan from the axle-back will fit the 05+ X's with an adapter bracket available from Riverside Infiniti. I ended up with an axle-back HKS exhaust and it fit right on with that bracket w/o modifying anything. The mid-pipes from a coupe also supposedly fit easily (I don't think you even need an extender but I'm unsure) but don't net any real HP gains (I think the pipe on the 05+ X is already the same diameter?). I don't know about the y-pipe either, I could never find any solid info on that.

I'm interested to hear more, so if anyone can add to that, chime in ^_^. Make sure you read the stickies too, there is some more info on the X's floating around in there.
