Hookedon240's '05 Coupe
 

2005 G35 Coupe 6MT 58k White/Tan

Good:
~Well taken care of, never driven past october or before march.
~Rigorous service records of everything done at the dealer almost with in 90 miles every time for the 3000k oil change
~Factory Clear bra (clear vinyl) = no rick chips up front
~Low miles...
etc

Now heres the bad i found out ON THE WAY TO SEE THE CAR 6 HOURS AWAY!
~Clutch was slipping "minor"...its bad now.
~Driver seat switch is broke so i have a nice gangster lean til i get that fixed.
~The 3 spots that were fixed by hail has overspray galore.

Overall not a bad 7 year old car.

Pics of when i drove it home the other day after spending HOURS just cleaning it since it was parked all winter and spring.

Since the Clutch is bad i ordered the Z1 Motorsports Clutch kit with flywheel And some OEM Nissan 75w85. Cannot WAIT to get that done.

Other then that its more cleaning the paint and getting that to where i want it then we'll see. Ive already scoped out the intake plenum spacer and a bunch of other things for now. :JAMIN:

hope you enjoy your new g35. gl with the new clutch install. hopefully thats all it is and not any other issues.


good call on the plenum spacer. awesome way to start modding this car!

Wow where to begin.

9.17.2012 i was at a stop sign and a penske truck backed into me saying he needed more room for the turn. He was 100% at fault and im awaiting a nice check. Need a new hood grill rad support and scratched the bumper good. So lucky the rad didnt go also. Ill post a pic of that soon.

Since then been pretty much been busy buying parts i dont need and whatnot for winter.

Bought:
Jwt popcharger
Knectix v+ intake Plenum
Made my own "z tube" out of old intake piping i had around.
Stoptech pads all around
Z1 motorsports drilled and slotted rotors all around
Bunch of ss brake lines
Stance coilovers
Stillen true dual exhaust
Carbon fiber eyelids
20mm spacers all around for the stock 19s. (All the wheels are flush back pokes out about 1mm)
And a bunch of other crap. I cant remember.

In the process of looking for a nice carbon fiber hood. Any recommendations would be helpful along with a place that is known for quality and customer service.

Havent been doing much besides stock pileing parts for when i actually have time to work on it in my garage. Other then that been driving my winter daily and dumping money into that ('91 galant vr4. 4dr awd turbo grocery getter...lets just say its daily driven on 22psi lol)

Pictures of everything ill post later today!

any pics?

Waiting for the rotors to dry and ill upload the zillion pics i have!

Got bored one day and snap some pics of my car at and old abandoned shopping center nearby

I like where this is going....aaaaaaaaaaaand, now I want that interior too. Marcus is the only one I know that has it but I've never asked how it was done. I'm sure it's nowhere as simple as I think it is.

I mean its easy if you have alot of time. Parts are cheap. Just lots of prep work.

Nice G. Looks very clean. I like the way this is going, starting a classy build I see.

You're lucky the truck driver didnt just say "he rear-ended me" it could have gone the opposite way for you, I've seen it happen :(

The custom dashboard colors look great! Whos car is that? :)
