Thats so true lol

 

OP just throw on a z-tube, k&n drop in filter, coupe mid pipe and plenum spacer. You will smile afterward.

 

*grimaces*
i say u key his car
or fill his upper plenum with salt water
or steal his wheels and leave his car on blocks
or replace his air filter with an old, wet sponge
or steal his cat
or steal his car
or do this to him
jk jk, but i'd be pissed
i'll make a point not to take angry friends for drives from now on

 

Lol trust me. i beat his azz, bad. Like serious no joke. He had bruises.

His car is only a 99 Infiniti G20 haha

 

Janik remember i texted you telling you my friend curbed my right rear wheel parking on the street? Its just a car **** can be fixed

did your friend mean to put it in park?

 

I'm almost 35 and hardly considered old. I must ask what has changed between my generation's parents and the following generation's parents that kids these days are so "swamped" with school that they can't work? I hear this all the time on the web and from friends/family with sub 20 y/o kids.

I was raised in one of the richest counties in the country and went to some of the best public schools in nation. I worked 30+ hours in the summer and around 16 hours a week when in school. I started working at 14. Not because I was told I had to, but because I wanted money. I worked in grocery stores, mowed yards, and taught swimming lessons. I also found time to play football and run track and keep my grades in the A and B range. My story wasn't any differernt than any of my other friends either. We wanted money, we had to work. My parents gave me my first car which was a hardly used hand-me down 89 Accord hatchback. So yes, I got a really nice free car. But I had to pay for most things for it. If I wanted to go out on weekends, needed fuel, tires, insurance, etc, that my responsibility.

So what am I missing here? My friend in a school teacher as well as a couple of neighbors and they say high school is no harder than it's ever been. So why can't kids work while going to school? Same thing goes for college.

I guess my overall point to the OP is that if he wants to toy with his car, then he first needs to convince his parents that he needs a job. Jobs teach you how to value money, how to manage money, how to work with people, how to manage time, and you learn that hard honest work is rewarded. It also teaches you just how hard some adults have to work to barely get by. Parents do a great disservice to their kids if they never let them work until they get their first adult job. I've hired these young adults who've never worked before and they SUCK as workers. I'll never make that mistake again.

I'm also a parent and I would NEVER let my 16-18 y/o son modify his car to make it faster, especially a G35 which is way too fast for a begineer driver to have in the first place. I would let him do handling, braking, and simple styling modifications but that's it.

Cliffs- Convince your parents you need a job, BUT don't tell them it's solely to modify your car.

 

On the dyno, it makes same power as the coupe and 05/06 sedans. The 260hp rating of the 03/04 sedan was merely a paper rating by Nissan to make coupe owners feel like they were getting more power for the extra money. The true rating of the 03/04 sedan is around 275hp.

 

You sound like all my lonely single 30-something friends. If you found a quality woman, you wouldn't be reminiscing about what you thought you missed out on back in HS Sex in HS is hilarious. Neither you nor her know WTF you're really doing

 

please excuse me to hi-jack the thread..

but how much performance gain can i expect when putting those 4 things u mentioned together ?

so far i have only the plenum spacer on mine. and i've been told that k&n drop in filters are bad to the engine coz it doesn't trap dust as good as the oem air filter.

 

Im sorry Dave. Your a cool guy, but your acting a little over protective. I know for a fact my friends Accord V6 is faster than my G. So the whole buying a Honda thing can go out the window.

You can buy your kids a beater. But it can be on YOUR mind having them drive some old unsafe piece of crap that wouldnt withstand an impact from a Modern VW Bug.

I have learned the capabilities of my car, and have taken a few courses with it. This car, its power, it really isnt that far out there, and if you have half a brain, and some common sense, it can be an excellent first car.

 

This makes no sense. Why bang random people just to bang random people? Save it for sombody that is actually special in your life....

 

Thats true most of the time but not in my case. Having a girlfriend that is 20 is fun.

 

Its not like any of the modifying he can do at this point is really going to make the G really get up and go. These cars are no race cars... by any means. Without FI its going to be hard to get a big jump in power. They get around but if I was a parent I would be more stressed out on getting a kid a beater civic and seeing him slap on some ricer ****. This is regarding dave and wannabe.

 

lucky bastard, lol and for op the only way i have found to let my parents let me mod is by doing everything myself. Im 18 work 48 hours a week and go to school from 5-2:30 and have a 3.7 gpa as an automotive technician in college. You should look for a good weekend paying job that you work at for 4-8 hours and make some extra cash. trust me man as soon as you get a job your parents give you so much more slack because they really honestly feel that you have "matured" and can take on the responsibilities like owning a fast car. just make sure you dont give them a reason to take away their trust by getting too many tickets or in any accidents because its really hard to gain it back. IM 18 live at home and never see my parents because of all the work and school and girlfriend and friends and etc etc. Just gain the trust and then let the modding begin! but just remember they did pay half so if they tell you not to do something then just wait it out because its a lot better then having them take the car from you and making you walk

 

Am i the only teen that does things with his parents? Huh. Yea. I regularly spend Saturdays with my dad doing things. During the week i see my parents too. Well, not my dad. he is in IL..
