interesting paint job. the chrome grill seems out of place with all the black in the center though.

too round front now that i think about it with the chrome grill =/

the headlights are aggressive looking but the front is slacking in the middle where its black if didnt dip it would look good

and probably be straight with like 20 inch rims or bigger

^i just dont think it lived up to the hype. more stuff needs to get done to make it complete and really amazing. i.e. some aggressive wheels, slam it, bbk, and a front lip. i not trying to be mean but im just voicing my opinion on what should be done

For all the “opinions” of what “should have been done” on this build – I wonder how many people would tell them how wrong they did it and what they should have done instead if they had the ballz and ability to pull this off…

If you have the ability to “do it better”… then just do it.

Don’t sit behind your computer with your stock G35 telling a guy that has gone completely outside the box with a very unique project what he did wrong.

I’ve never seen anything like this, and neither has anyone else – so who’s to say what it should be…

I agree with you, but other than the custom body work...there is nothing unusual here anymore. The V8 has been done by many...so at this point Im failing to see the uniqueness of this project...maybe when this thread started a million years ago it was unique, and he had a chance to be a pioneer then. But this build/vision has simply taken waaaaaaay tooooo long and it is still not done.

ocg35 thanks couldn't of said it better myself. The v8 has been done so many times where? I have yet to see one running that is not using a standalone ecu which will never run as good as the factory ecm and even then how many have given up. if it were so easy everyone would be doing it right now. Maybe some people have not realized I plan on upgrading more parts, splitter, diffuser, carbon ceramic bbk ,dymag wheels, rear mount transmission, a lot of titanium: intake manifold, headers, exhaust, etc. but since not everyone on this forum plans to be a track star, drift king or weekend drag warrior and may just want more Na or Fi power for everyday driving enjoyment. I personally don't think everybody likes the hassle of having to remove everything for emissions or getting harassed in california with bs sniffer test. This is the beginning guideline for anyone who still wants a/c on a hot day, around 425-450whp Na and pull up to an inspection station let them plug into the obdII port no codes come up and enjoy the rest of their day. As for everyone going fi if the vq's are getting around 1600 on the dragstrip imagine having 2 more cylinders and an extra liter of displacement.
