Remembered seeing your post on instagram about taking off the radio.
Here's the link for you:

In the audio section of the forums you'll find some good guides on the process as well as the shopping list you'll be needing.

Thanks a lot man! Yeah I've seen this video too, but I get stuck at 0:44 because I'm too scared to break it and don't want to tug on it too hard :/

no way u could crash that hard if u didn't gas it hard doing a turn or trying to do something crazy. other than that car looks better after the crash. u should invest in some sides. car looks too front heavy.

I want to invest in a rear bumper and some sides, or maybe even side splitters, but things have kept on popping up. Hopefully soon!

Got the car back a day later. Put it in 1000 "easy" miles.
Check out my IG videos to see what my "easy" miles looked like
www.instagram.com/Lfg35c

Got the headers installed when the new block was dropped in. Also went to go get it retuned. I felt a small difference. And I got them because the block was already out. But I, like a whole bunch of other people, do not think it's worth the gains. Cheapest you'll get headers is $300 (?) and install would be $500 (?) just doesn't seem worth it unless you HAVE to get a new block, or are trying to push out as much hp as possible while staying NA. Both of which I was forced to do and am doing haha

I got stuck coming down a driveway, my sidemarker popped out. Sadly, I didn't notice it until I was home. I only had one clear sidemarker, and luckily, it was the same side. Already ordered my new clear corners tho. Just waiting on them to come in. I was really liking the clear corner compared to the orange sidemarkers.


I also decided to fully gut the car. . .



I bought a nice little goodie!
The hp feels alright, I don't notice it too much, I notice crazy torque tho. And very good top end. 80-100 climbs insanely fast. And on top of that as a 5AT, I spin through all of first, I slowly start to get grip in second, and still chirp into third.


Almost done for the summer. Once I start school, progress will be very, very, slow :/ This will probably one of my last updates for a while. Still missing one more bolt on so hopefully I get that in ASAP

I respect the stanced, cambered, slammed lifestyle. However, it is not for me. Since when I first got the car, I wanted it to be one of the most aggressive looking G35s out there. Not much has changed since then. Like all plans, it's not exactly the same as before though. Not only do I want to be one of the most aggressive G35s, I want to be one of the fastest VQ35DE. I guess just to show that you don't need to have an MT car to have fun in it. I have a lot to lose tho. I chose the heaviest out of all the VQ35DEs (G35 coupe, G35 sedan, 350z. Heaviest to lightest) and I chose (not really my decision) an AT over an MT (20% power lose instead of 15%). I see a lot of people that don't even want to put an exhaust on their AT G35s because it's AT and "it's not worth it" Let me be the first (hopefully not the first. . .) to tell you that it's worth it.

The kinetix intake manifold robs power for the n/a, and the intake doesnt help either.. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news bro.. Plenum spacer, cams and long tube headers are the way to go

Odd, I've done one bolt at a time and have felt gains with the intake, the plenum spacer as well. The torque gains from the kinetix is amazing imo. I don't feel it's robbing power, my top end is a lot better than without it and my bottom to mid is pretty close to how it was without it. But I knew that the manifold wasn't going to affect the bottom to mid range. Just the top end
