Hey guys- posting in this thread again because I have become more serious about modding (as well as having the financial capability to back some of it up). The first mod I did to my 2003 G35 6-speed was the RJM clutch adjustment, which especially helps with 1-2 shifts (I'd definitely recommend it).
I want to begin modding the car, particularly as it pertains to the exterior. For me, the 3.5 is fast enough, although I was considering the JWT popcharger and z-tube mod to boost the sound appeal. That would probably be my first mod. Beyond that, my next focus is on tires, wheels, suspension, and the body kit.
Right now, my front tires are continental dws and the back tires are some Chinese crap. Although they all have decent tread, I might upgrade to some more serious all-seasons, or at least buy 2 DWS tires for the rear wheels. Another (relatively) inexpensive mod is the wheels- I think the 7 spoke 18 inch coupe wheels would look good here (additional opinions are much appreciated).
I also want to focus on making the exterior look nicer by modifying the rocker panels/ rocker molding. My plan was to either paint over them (prime, sand, paint) or buy replica side skirts and a front and rear bumper. I was drawn to the former option because it's cheaper.
The final beast is suspension. The reality is that I'm driving a 12 year old car that handles well but probably lacks fresh suspension. The issue for me is that even if I bought z springs and decent shocks, I would still have to throw in camber adjustment kits and other goodies. This could add up quickly, so this might be further down the line. However, I love the look of a tastefully lowered G.
Sorry for the wall of text, but any recommendations and advice would be more than welcome. Thanks again

So last week i go the Z-tube and my spacer to be honest i recommend for everyone out there these mods you feel the difference and you'll enjoy
But i have some questions ? i have a 05 sedan AT
some people say the HR y-pipe has a better sound and performance on 05 but some say the stock and the aftermarket doesn't make too much of a difference !!!!
and if YES , does it make sense to get a y-pipe aftermarket installed with the stock midpipe and the stock muffler !!!

The OEM VLSD will NOT fit inside a carrier that has an open diff, which your car has. What I meant before is that the carrier (pumpkin) will be a direct fit between the different years, I usually use the term differentrial when referring to the carrier.
