I've been floating around these forums for a little while now learning all I can about the car and have already begun to make some mods.

Here is what the car looked like stock just about a month ago.....



Being down here in Atlanta with our heat index over 100 degrees this time of year I decided the first mod I was going to do would be to help keep that black interior cooler..... (20% Tint all around)





Next was the Z tube & Pop Charger....


Based on what I read here on the boards I decided to swap out my midpipe for one off a coupe....



Those two mods make it hard for me to keep my right foot off the pedal. The sound the motor makes now is simply amazing.

The Next mod I installed was a set of Full Z suspension....





I cant say enough about the Z suspension. It really flattens this car out in the turns. Much less body roll and brings a wave of confidence to the driver going in to corners. All of this at a very minimal cost of ride quality. The ride is stiffer, but not jarring. This is a great upgrade and I would recommend this suspension to anyone looking for a bolt on set up.


The next mod I decided on was a set of OEM 19" Coupe wheels....



Next up: 5/16" Spacer & Nismo Aero Kit

 

wheels look great on your car....looks very familiar too

 

nice start, i'd keep the spacer after the drop and shaved/rolled fenders.

 

so THAT'S what a sedan middy looks like.

geez that thing is...bulky.

 

Sweet ride bro! Keep up the good work! How do you like the coupe 19's? I'm thinking of getting a set for my '05 sedan lowered on a z/coupe drop. Did you need to roll your rear fenders? Are you using the stock tires that came with them? What's the finger gap with your Z drop and the 19's?

Thanks!

 

Well thanks. Got a pretty good deal on them from some guy in SoCal

 

^ u do need to roll the fenders even without the drop. If u have two people in the car or take a corner a bit fast it is going to rub. Coupe 19s have 33 offset and with 8.5 inch wheel that is very aggressive for the sedan.

 

Looks good. Nicely executed.

 

wow the '06 middy is way smaller than that. redonkulous. good start. definitely get the nismo/aero kit for your car, it will make a HUGE difference.

 

oh yeah, some clear corners too

 

Thanks man. I love the wheels. Before I bought them I looked at dozens of pics with sedans on coupe wheels worrying that they might scrub. I dont want to have to modify the car and can say that I am very happy that they don't scrub at all. I am running stock tire sizes (225 up front 245 in rear) I have gone over at least a dozen of those huge speed humps, pulled into driveways with large rolled curbs, rode over numerous speed bumps, and havent scrubbed yet. Now, when the car sits still and you look at the back fenders / tire it looks like it may scrub. However, as the suspension travels upward (when you go over a bump) the top of the tire actually travles in towards the middle over the car ever so slightly, which allows just enough space for the tires to clear the fenders. Now, I havent had the car aligned since I lowered it last week and I'm sure it has a little more negative camber than is allowed with factory specs. I'll be getting an alignment soon and hope that them adjusting the camber back to (close to) factory specs doesn't cause the tires to scrub. Ultimate test will be after the alignment and with a few people in the back of the car. If it does rub I'll probably just get a tad different tire size when the tires wear out.

How many fingers btwn the tire and wheel well? 1.5 front 1.0 in rear.

 

Almost like the same mods i went with when i had my G. Don't forget about the clear corners and the HKS sport muffler with the coupe midpipe sounds more intoxicating.

 

 

I was gonna say the same thing...that's one h*ll of a difference.

someone was asking on another thread how to make the the sedan sound like the coupe....does it sound like the coupe now?

 

i don't remember my min being that damn big. holy crap! i swapped all that **** out for the stillen gen1 cat back. The G is lookin good. very clean. time to debadge.
