2004 g35
Hey friends,
It’s great to be here on the forum. Here’s my 2004 G35 Sedan Sport.
No engine mods (wanting this car to last forever).

Car was a demo vehicle for the Infiniti dealership so it has every option possible (rear spoiler, factory body kit, DVD/Nav, etc)
Seibon Carbon Fiber hood
Konig Controls with Goodyear Eagle F1’s (245/40/18)
Wanting to get the car lowered. Any advice you guys have on the look of the car or things I could do to it? Wanting to lower it an inch and have been hearing about revised 350z suspension/springs doing the trick. Any advice?Thanks,Bigwig

Nice clean ride. I'd like to make an argument FOR a few tasteful mods however, especially since longevity of the vehicle is a concern.
Stock intake and exhaust leave this motor a little starved, a 5/16" plenum spacer allows for better and less restrictive airflow, when coupled with the intake airbox from a '05-'07 coupe 6MT (revup air box) the engine can breathe better. The exact reverse applies to the exhaust, the stock catalytic converter is HIGHLY restrictive and a quality aftermarket like one from Fast Intentions (or other reputable manufacturers with high ratings) will reduce a substantial amount of backpressure on the motor, couple with a quality aftermarket cat-back system.
Both these mods will free up power that the motor naturally wants to make, neither will negatively affect the longevity of the motor, you simply get more power (and a very slight improvement in mileage).
Now for the most important item, the stock ECU tune is designed to work across all manufacturing variables and has a very broad range of use but it comes at the expense of precision A/F targets. Even if you decide not to do the intake/exhaust modifications I STRONGLY recommend you look at getting a proper tune for your engine. It doesn't necessarily need to be a full dyno tune (e-tune will get you about 80% of the efficiency that a dyno tune will get) but a customized tune will improve every aspect of engine function and a more precise level of fuel metering does directly affect engine longevity under all conditions.
Sorry I don't have any suggestions about sedan suspension. On my coupe I'm really happy with the balance of ride quality vs. performance with my Nismo s-tune springs 448 front, 504 rear
