2005 DG sedan purchased in October of 2005:

Tint - done.
Clearbra - done.
Clear corners - done
Z tube - done last night (the car sounds so much better).

So what's next? I presume I have now moved into the more expensive mods that I won't be able to purchase on a whim. What should I be saving up for? What are your favorite mods?

 

Besides the clearbra, I have the same setup - colors and all. I wasn't sold on the clear corners at first but once I had them on, there was no doubt. I put on a Stillen CAI with the ztube but not sure it was worth the money. You can try just a K&N filter and modding the stock airbox (open airways, remove resonators). Even though I'm not sure it will make any difference in sound, I want to replace the exhuast mid pipe with a coupe version. It's an easy mod, cheap if you can find one used, and will help drop weight off the car. I really want a more aggressive sound without having to replace the entire exhaust or loosing any low end power.

 

I think one of the best G35 mods worth saving up for is a garage to put it in.

 

My vote is go for a MD plenum spacer next...or an APS tall boy plenum..... Not sure how much difference w/ the coupe middy vs. the '05 stock middy...ask around. I love mine though! (though I have an '04, so it made a big difference).

 

my opinions lie in headlights, projectors!! or if your pockets arnt deep, go with HIDs.

 

Taken care of long before I got the G. Actually my poor F-150 had to stay outside because it was too tall. Now it is really nice to be able to garage the car although my wife's Bimmer is jealous of its new stable mate.

 

Get rid of the amber sidemarkers and replace them with smoke ones or clear and install the factory sport aluminum pedals so that your pedals match your brush aluminum interior. You can find the pedals on eBay for 75 dollars shipped and the sidemarkers for 36 dollar at grubbs.

 

Grounding wires and stillen sway bars are pretty cheap and a nice mode to get.

 

Good suggestion on the pedals and the grounding wires. I had completely forgotten about those. I am also thinking Borla or Stillen exhaust.

 

I have an ivory pearl i bought in dec 05...

1-Clearbra - done...first and foremost cause i drive on highway a lot....
2-Splashguards - done
3-Clear corners - done
4-Z tube - done
5-Amsoil Hi-performance nano-filter - done
6-Aluminum 350z pedals - done
(Did 3 thru 6 in one day)

Up-coming mods:
Tint
MREV upgrade (the iso with the mrev+ plenum)
stillen sway bars

 

Yank the Power Duct cover.

 

i forgot to mention, the 2k2 6spd max is sleeping outside now....well at least under the attached car port....

 

How cheap do the stillen sways run? I've seen their site and it's priced at $300...that's not that cheap is it... Maybe it is, but I'm just basing this off the fact that my friends' TLs have CompTech sways for only about $100 flat. Hmmm

 

i can get my stillen sway bar set, both front and rear, for about $295 shipped from everythingg35 (or g35parts.com)....

ymmv depending on where you live... the package weighs only ten pounds... ground shipping usually only takes 2 days max for me here in sacto, cali and they are from scottsdale arizona....

this is the cheapest and fastest way so far besides ebay....
