Just bought a 2003.5 6mt sedan and love it so far. I posted in the mods thread, but does anyone have any suggestions so far? Thanks a lot, look forward to being a part of this community
Driving an '03 it probably has high mileage. Rather than spending $$ on mods concern yourself with your maintenance schedule! Nissan recommends all fluids/filters replaced every 30K miles, the closer you follow this schedule the longer your sedan will last without major issues! Mods?

Hey Gary- thanks for responding. I also posted yesterday in the sedan mods thread, but I figured I'd introduce myself here, too. The reason I bought this car was because it only had 45K miles, so I'm going to work on replacing the rubber items like hoses and stuff first.
You a teacher man? Or just a student in high school
Actually, neither- I'm a college student. I was just in the parking lot getting a feel for the clutch (trickier than the Mazda6 I had before) and I decided to snap some pics for good measure. School buses for comparison
Sophomore year. I've wanted a G35 for awhile, although I did love my Mazda6 (Duratec 30 sucked but the handling was awesome for a FWD car). My old man had an Altima SE-R back in the day, so I love the VQ35
Haha, that's the plan! Probably gonna go around replacing old rubber bits first, but after that the first plan is probably a wheel/tire combo. Lowering the car would probably get pretty expensive
Any specific wheel/tire combos that you all would recommend? On the tire side, I need all-seasons, so I'll probably run Continental DWS or Bridgestone 970as tires. Any wheel recommendations, though? And should I go up to 18s?
Welcome! Lots of members here in the DMV. Check out National G Club on Facebook, we have meets in Tysons Corner every Monday and Rockville, MD on Thursdays. As for first mods, a 5/16" plenum spacer is the first thing you should get.
You could even go up to 19" with your setup. I run DWS on my fronts and RE970AS on my rears. Both are great.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'll look to go to those meets when I get back for school, but those are great groups to know about. I actually ran DWS on my old car, and they were particularly awesome in the rain. For tire sizes, would 19 be too rough of a ride? 18 might be a better compromise.
Finally, do you have any specific recommendations for rims? I'm looking around, but if you see anything that would look great on a silver sport package sedan, please let me know
Wow! Only 45k on the car! You barely need to do any work on it. That is low milage. I am pushing 71k for an 08 but i am now having more fun driving my car around again.
