Thumbs up Enjoying my first G35 (06 Coupe)

I bought my first G35 about 3 months ago & I am very pleased with it so far. It's a 2006 coupe Laser Red loaded with the premium, sport, & performance wheel & tire packages. I have also made a few upgrades to it which includes: clear corners, window tint, Stillen Z-Tube W/ K&N filter, Z1 Motorsports plenum spacer, & a Stillen lightweight crank pulley. More to come soon. Best all around performance car I've ever owned. I would like to use this forum to learn more about what these cars have to offer & to meet new people as well.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. @ That's G, I see you have Motordyne on your list of upgrades, do you have their plenum spacer installed or something else. Just wondering because I'm thinking about ordering it.

Before you order one from tony@motordyne check out the "FS" threads to see if you can find yourself a used spacer kit

Very Nice, it looks like it's very good condition. I just my first G35 on New Years day and I'm like you with regards to the performance this car delivers...I've never owned anything close to this type of ride.

It's just a spacer. It has no connections to nature or the seasons

We're still weeding out some of our less intelligent members

I just installed a new 5/16 plenum spacer from Z1 motorsports a few hours ago. Install went smoothly with new issues, much more noticeable difference than I expected. This combined with the other upgrades mentioned above makes this thing really get up and go. It's bit of a sleeper being completely stock looking on the outside.

Great! All you need now is to juck the G intake tube and pick up a Z tube

Already installed the Z tube a few weeks ago. Also very worthwhile.
