Ok about three months ago I bought my first g35 and unfortunately it got wrecked due to other idiot driver, I now acquired a 2004 g35 coupe 6mt with 60,000 miles on it and it is in pretty good shoe for a 04. Car has usual wear and tear on clutch and breaks and tires and I have recently two days ago ordered about 5 grand worth of parts and am wondering what ok d of gains I will see and if I made good choices for my car seeing as how I would eventually like to super charge and do head work and build the motor the right way, pistons rods, balance blueprint crank but for now my list of mods going in this week are as follows
Ordered
1. Aem cold air I take
2. Motor dyne 5/16 copper isothermal plenum spacer
3. Centric rotors front and rear
4. Hawk ceramic performance pads
5. Cooper Zion rs3-a tires all around
6. Tein basic coilover kit
7. Borla headers
8. Borla cat ack exhaust true dual ( utilizing stock cats)
9. Exedy nsk1000fw clutch kit, pressure plate, release bearing, bushing
10. Exedy nf04 one peice flywheel

So basically I have the car in great condition minus the worn out parts, and about ten boxes of new parts I'm soon to deliver parts and car to a install shop and would like to know what to expect as far as gain in power over stock, as well as performance and handling with shocks and tires, how good are centric breaks, and is borla headers and exhaust a good choice also how about they exedy. Clutch and flywheel along with the premium spacer and intake I think I'll have a well rounded pretty quick car !
Plz tell me what you think of car and parts that were purchased and what to do next after all that will I need a tune? Or engine management?
Thanks Devon

 

5,000$. Did I read that right?

If you plan on supercharging your car you will have to get a specific exhaust to give the best turbulent flow... So I wouldn't recommend installing that. As for the plenum spacer, you can use that one till you upgrade but why when you have the money to SC today . HEADERS are a waste. Please return those now...

If you can afford a tune now, when you SC you can retune for a discounted price and I would recommend the tune. Your AF will be out of whack with the bolt on mods. Definitely tune after the bolt ons you noted.

 

Ok will due tune and I kinda want to take my time with it and not just nose dive I'm with supercharger wanna upgrade with more air into engine and more air out of the engine Jensen intake and plenum spacer and air out with headers and exhaust I was always told more air in more air out more power, and it will hopefully launch better with flywheel and clutch, handle better with tein shocks and cooper tires and stop well with centric breaks, then when I get bored ill super charge but not before engine is built ya know, so that kinda why I didn't just order super charger kit and went with these parts, why do you say return headers?

 

Oh and I'm doing exhaust cause previous owner buggered it with a nice minims muffler and that's a no go for me

 

IMO, if you knew you were gonna supercharge. You could have used the 5k for your blower,just sayin.

Yea to be honest the money's not an issue I can purchase blower when ready, just want to know what gains I will see with these parts from someone who has put these parts on there g

 

Performance wise,Not a noticeable difference...

 

high flow cats> cat back exhaust.... on these engines..... 1/3 the price too.....any difference you feel on the butt dyno will be 100% from the lightweight flywheel and plenum spacer....... it will be noticeable, but not by much.... and headers are a PITA to install on these cars.... shops charge like 11 hours of labor, so if you do it yourself, have fun. haha

 

Cut out the aem intake and get a z tube.

 

+1 Z1 intake tube is aluminum and cheaper than the oem plastic one, and no slinky

 

With the exception of the brakes none of your other choices were worth the cost! Doing research you would have found far better options. I wouldn't put Borla anything on my Honda....lawnmower!
