03 6MT G35 Coupe Build/Progression! (PICS)

5.6.14 UPDATE ON PAGE 3




Okay so heres the story, got an 03 Coupe as my first car last week for $4k and 49k Miles on the clock...just with minor problems and wouldn't break what I had saved up so I said why not. Car is running rough because it sat in a garage for a couple years. Not getting enough gas (waiting for parts to come in) and the common lifter noise. She should be running by next week

Mods by previous owner:
Nismo CAI
Nismo Misc. Caps
Custom Ruby Red trim (All done professionally)
JDM 2 Din
Kenwood DDX 7017 2 Din (FOR SALE)
Lightly Smoked Side Markers

*Bumper is off because I am preparing to have it repainted. Previous owner had a nasty scrape in a garage parking lot *







Ruby Red trimm







Update #1 Burnt Tips with a propane torch



True Dual



Wish she was dressed



More pics as the parts roll in Going for a clean look on this G, subtle but neck breaking

Update #2
9/7/13

6000k White LED license plate lights installed
Fuel Pump installed , car now runs smoothly, no more dying , now to tackle the lifter noise, ugh



Update #3 10/19/13
Front Bumper Painted!! Car needs a good buff and wax unfortunately



Update #4 10/21/13
Finally sold the car that the G is going to take place so now It's time to get her ready for insurance...Timing is off car has trouble and loss of power. Tackling it now... Infiniti Kappa 6x9's also arrived!!




Update #5 12/8/13
Clay Bar'd, wax'd, michelin potenza's in the rear and lowered on eibach prokit. Also changed the steering column pieces and cluster cover back to black along with door pulls, air temp/ clock cover and window switch covers. She's gunna get some new 20's within the first week of January ... Thinking of varrstoen or volk.

As i mentioned the car runs rough which is why i got it for so cheap. it runs rough right now but if my diagnosis is correct replacing the fuel pump should do it. Previous owner also touched the timing chain, hopefully I dont need to correct that.
