Hi everyone!:hello:

I'm new to the G35/V35 platform...but today I paid my deposit and tomorrow I will be picking up my 2003 Black on black 6speed!

I never did this with my old cars, but I would like to post pictures/updates of each mod I do from start to finish. I'm coming from the Lexus scene, 2 GS's and a SC...My last car got flooded and I decided to move on. Wanted something with more power and of course has to be manual. Took forever to decide between coupe or sedan, but ultimately found a decent deal. This car will be slammed on coilover within a week :D I also have a full airbag suspension i might decide to throw in, however I was deciding on staying static and throwing on a supercharger... decisions decisions.

Here are some pics of my old rides, which i miss dearly:

welcome man !!! first thing is just because the sedan is bigger,means it still wont float :-P

looking forward into following your thread and see everything that goes along with it..

i personally like static better but i always have that thought about bagging it..

but again welcome man

Congrats man but it hurts to see the SC flooded, i love those cars

is that why you are selling your Works??? Man, that sucks :(

Well I might keep the works and rebarrel them to something much more aggressive for the G, depends on cost. I ideally want a deep dish 5 spoke rim, but I don't wanna put the money into it.

Static vs Bags is a huge debate for me, been fighting it in my ehad for so long, I went back and forth on the SC haha. My SC was an original 5spd too, I was planning on getting a gte swap into it, but then the flood hit :( O well I think i'm better off with the g35.




A question that I can't understand is why do I need the jdm climate control if I am siwtching to a double din HU? It seems like my buttons match the layout of the jdm climate controls.


EDIT: Nevermind, found the sticky regarding JDM climate control

Welcome congrats on the G!

Sorry to see that happen to your SC :(, love those cars. My brother in law was in the Lexus scene with an SC also. But he like function better than form, since he got the 2JZ-GTE swap. Boy was that fun to drive. He just DDs a GS now.

Yeah I test drove a gte swapped sc the other night, even on stock twins....baby's got some balls!

Welcome to G community...how did the SC get flooded? Sucks...look forward to your build

Welcome to G family man. Sorry about your car man.

Congrats

Welcome, and sorry for the loss. Those are some nice lexus' you had there. BTW, is that a benny gold glider plane sticker on the sc's gas door?

Wow! Good eye haha, yes it is!

nice! welcome man, looks like you got great taste modding

Thanks!


So i picked her up...but already ran into a small problem....

going over 60mph....5th gear just spits right out! :(

I called the guys, they told me to come back monday morning. Every other gear works :/ 5th does catch when I'm going slow though...what the heck!

Clutch timeeeeeeeeeee
