My first month of ownership..

Well I've owned my G for about a month now and its been jammed pack full of events. Allready started the mods with a v1, z-tube, grounding kit, oem brembo swap and coupe midpipe swap. Took a trip from FL to CT and back and have not had any unexpected problems so far.. I wish I could keep the mods coming this fast but def cannot afford that, next on the list is a trans go shift kit and a 3.5 vlsd rear diff swap. Hopefully I will be as helpful to this community as I've been to the Nissan 4x4 community and the Mitsubish 3000GT/Dodge Stealth community. Any suggestions and constructive critisism is welcome.

Sounds like you're off to a decent start on mods for your G. I remember during my first month of ownership, all I put on was tint, clear corners and Z-tube, so in comparison you're more ahead than most others

BTW, I see you're located in Pinellas Park, not far from Tampa/Clearwater. We hold G meets in Quaker Steak & Lube in Clearwater about once every other month, and they're typically a good showing. You should come and join us at these meets. We don't often get sedans to rep at the meets in FL, so it'd be nice to get to know each other particularly at these gatherings

The Stillen kit is practically useless. You need at least a 10-wire kit, and specifically one that grounds the transmission. After I put my 10-wire kit on, I noticed a little bit better shifting.

Check out this guy's kits, it's the one I have. http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=345479&page=1 He offers (or used to) a Stillen upgrade kit so you can just add to the one you have.

I recently put a set of SBD Grounding Wires (that you mention above) on my 04 Coupe and noticed improvements! One of the improvements that I didn't expect was better MPG. For the past 3 tanks!!
