Hi everyone!

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 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:


SC300





Silver Gs400


White GS400

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.
