Now that's what I call a thread jack!


Skyline - Looking good! (esp. for an '03.5). How many miles do you have racked up?

I love the exhaust. The power difference (to me) is noticeable. I can get 1st to 2nd gear to screach like mad and 2nd to 3rd to squeel as well. The drone on the freeway at times gets annoying especially when your car is full of people and everyone is trying to talk. But I also think that I have a lot of road noise from the low pro tires.

Other than that I would never trade this exhaust for anything else.

I've put 56k on the car. I am trying to milk out the last 4k so that I still have a warranty.

Sometimes I wish that I would have got that extended warranty, but oh well.

Thanks for the compliments.

To everyone that said that I need to do something with the front and rear bumpers. Thanks alot!!! I have been planning on getting those, but for the small price that my bro-in-law charged me for painting the sides and front and rear, I just couldn't pass it up. I most likely (when business picks up) will get the nismo front and rear bumpers. Thanks for the comments and compliments at the same time. I appreciate it.

I agree the power on the Stillen is sweet, but the droning gets on your nerves after awhile, that was the main reason i swaped it out for a Nismo exhaust.

sweet--do you think if I added the FULL nismokit, full 05 tails/backup lights, drop and wheels to my black G that it would look almost as good as this?


thanks for your opinion--it think it would--I always hand wax and hand wash the g--its mint with limo tint.

I guess clear corners would need to be thrown in too--I am starting to come around to liking clear corners now.

Car looks great. Painted lowers look good. If I were you I would just get the Aero front bumper, and lower the car. Leave the back and sides stock painted. it will look great lowered like that.

Although IMO your wheel gap isn't even that bad. height looks fine to me, but lowering def. isn't going to hurt anything.

your HU looks good too, although if I were you I would fill that empty din slot with something or make a cover that matches the rest of the console. someone should manufacture a single din ipod dock for people with open din slots.

Long story: 2 months after I had this car my wife took it shopping at a grocery store. Not being used to driving stick, she left it in neutral and well, guess what... She didn't use the emergence brake and the car rolled across the parking lot and into a older pickup with the chrome bumpers. Well, it dented the rear bumper but it didn't chip it. Now the fun...

Her brother, my bro-in-law owns a body shop and he is a custom painter. His website is autoartbythekid.com and he is always getting on the cover of mini-truckin' or Truckin' mags and others. His truck is the one labeled time-machine on his website.

Well, I've helped him out on some things in the past and he has helped me numerous times. One thing was that he said that I pay for the paint, which was a tri-stage PPG paint color match to the vehicle. He said that he would remove my rear bumper, repair it and repaint the whole thing including the lower black part of the bumper. He also removed my front bumper and took out all of the rock chips. And finally he took off the side skirts and painted those as well. So, after paint, I paid about $100.00 give or take.

If any of you ever want to build a project car he is the man to talk to about getting custom paint and body work done. Check out his website, you will be very impressed.

But I love that empty din slot, I can cram alot of crap in there. LOL. I do like to put my sunglasses in there because that cheap sunglass holder by the roof is way to small for anything but reading glasses.

Thanks for your ideas. I was looking at the front bumper at everythingg35 and for $800+ dollars, it isn't that bad of a price. If I can get 20 people to say that I need it my wife said that I can get it. HAHA, j/k

Thanks again.

Texan1, have you done anything to your G? Wheels, clear corners, anything??? I honestly think that your car would look just as good. I love the way these sedans look fixed up.

Great looking ride, how did you paint your front lip? Did you leave the bottom portion unpainted for looks or protection?

Bro, goto www.infinitiparts.org and use the collision catalog to find the aero bumper. If you find a cheaper price online they will beat it byu at least 50-100 that's where i got my bumper.
