Hi everyone! I don't own a G35 yet, but I think the 1st gen coupes are incredibly sexy cars, and I would like to own one some day. For now, I'm stuck driving the same 1996 I30 that I've been driving for the last 13 years or so. I've been a member of Maxima.org since 2001, but I wanted to come over here and see what sort of things you guys are into.

Check out some of the things I've done to my car over the years!

I started out doing drag racing, but later moved on to auto-x and road racing. As such, the car has been heavily modified to be as competitive as possible for a 20 year old FWD family sedan. I have chronicled my recent modding efforts in my build thread on Maxima.org (my home for the last 14 years). Here are some pics!

Custom fender braces:


After a day of auto-x:




Oil and power steering coolers installed


Wilwood 12.9" BBK


Interior:


Home made alcantara door panels:


Quaife being installed


Racing!


And finally, a 3.5 from a 2002 Maxima installed!


Due to my welded on subframe connectors and fender braces, my car is classed in EP for Solo auto-x. Since there are no other EP guys in the DC area, I decided to play in the unlimited XP class with all the Cobras. I occasionally beat one or two of them, but I'm hoping to do even better this year with the 3.5 installed, along with other supporting mods. You can check out my past results, pics, and videos (road racing included) over in my thread on Maxima.org http://maxima.org/forums/autocrossin...x-results.html. I'll keep you posted on my 2015 results!

 

Nice! Welcome to the community!!!
