Hello,

I decided to join this forum as a proud member of a basic silver G35 coupe! The G35 was my dads since 2004 and I had been admiring it since I was 11 years old when he bought it off the lot. Unfortunately, it is a 5AT with the tiptronic. Also, my mother decided to have a fun night in Santana row, California. She got a little tipsy and got to close to the parking garage wall, because of a SUV hogging the space.. With that being said, I got the car for $3,500 with only 145k miles.















So, my ideas on this car is making it look more luxurious than sporty. I will be putting on air lift suspension in the near future but I want to hear everyone P.O. Here, is what I am thinking on doing to the car so far. I am currently looking for a shop thatll fix the side swipe, in the mean time I want:

wheel fenders to make the back look wider
19in rims with bigger off sets in rear
MEGAN RACING test pipes and motordyne Y pipe
Z-tune with JWT pop charger
Tein basic coil overs, or a air ride kit
Air intake manifold 5/16 spacer
osiris tune
sway bars (heard its a bang for the buck mod)

I understand that ill be only be getting a 40 WHP for these add ons. However I already know whats going to happen to my 5AT tranny when I add a greddy turbo without upgrading my valve body. Expensive in my opinion.

Oh, and my Service engine soon light came on with the VDC off, SLIP, and has a delay start up. I read online about infiniti having a recall on the cam sensors, anyone know if its possible to have them still replace them? not trying to buy 85 dollar cam sensors from autozone china made.

leave feed back on anything, or if you guys have Better suggestions on what I should get for the G Im open to ideas and comparisons.

Thank You!

Can sensors from the zone are fine, and to the tune of $40 apiece. But both but only replace the bad one for now.

Interesting mod list, but being you bought a $3500 car you probably don't realize how expensive "widening" the rear really is. Just get some wheels that fit it well and lower the car with some springs to eliminate the wheel gap. I think air bags to raise and lower are to the tune of $3K!

Power wise, it's a G35. If you want a fast car but a faster one for way cheaper upgrades or get a motorcycle.

But your best gains are probably from a plenum spacer.

Only get sways if you need them. Most likely the upgraded springs or coil overs will be enough for most people.

Get that body fixed ASAP .

 

Rwd Nissans can always fit fat wheels under their HUGE damn fenders. Nothing necessary other than good fitting name brand wheels IMHO. Oh, and some streched tires. People round here seem to put 275+ tires on 10.5 wide wheels. Smh. 10.5's need 245/40 at widest, but that's opinion. Good luck with the body work. My cars had the whole rear quarter replaced. Looks great, didn't notice till well after I bought the car. Could always be worse

 

i have stretched tires and couldnt disagree more. the way you are phrasing this makes it seem like an appropriately sized tire is a bad thing.

 

Notice where I said "but that's opinion"

 

I think stretched tires are more aesthetically pleasing and handle a lil better, but again it's opinion

 

How do stretched tires handle better with a smaller sidewall?

 

Less flex, more response and input, obviously less comfortable of a ride...
