Hey guys, thought I'd introduce myself and get my post count up so I can post on classified and what not.

Just bought me a 2003 coupe two months ago. My first thoughts are that Im very impressed with this car. Its been very fun to drive so far. It's got 85k on the clock, its in great condition and I got it for a great deal. This is my first jump back into a nissan since I owned a 240sx in college. My last car was an Audi B5 S4. Im glad to be back in a coupe and Im already planning what I will do with this car. First mods will be suspension and wheels. The lower control arm bushings are done and now my front tires need replacing. Looking to do lowering springs and shocks, front and rear camber arms, sway bars, and new wheels and tires asap. This will be my weekend/fun car as I have a tdi golf for my 40 mi daily commute. Anyway heres a couple pics of the car. Cheers! PS: If anyone is interested in these wheels I will have them for sale as soon as I can post on the classifieds, I'm just not a big fan of them.

Nice score man, love the brembos. Looks good, manual or automatic? And yeah, those wheels have to go! Suspension and wheels go a long way.

 

Welcome to the G35 Driver forums! Nice clean coupe, the list of mods are almost perfect with the exception of headlights! The '06 projectors are so much better than the first gen headlights you're running! The difference is "Night & Day" literally! In the list of upgrades you can make for your coupe plenum spacer and projectors are the top two considered "Best Bang for your Buck!" Again, Welcome to Driver...enjoy the ride!

Forgot to mention its 6MT. Yea I will be looking into the newer projectors and the plenum spacer soon as well. Thanks!

 

My advice other than ditching the wheels (which I'm glad to hear you say you don't like them) is to skip the spring/shock replacement and go with coilovers from he start. I wish I had heeded that advice early in my modding as it took me going through 3 different suspension set-ups before I finally gave in.

Also sway bars are arguably the best bang for the buck mod and will completely change the way the car drives and handles. A must have early mod IMHO. Congrats on the new ride though, you'll have fun with her.
