Leo's TwinTurbo Green Monster Build Thread
 
Hey guys. I don't post much on the forums, but I finally decided put some time/pics together to show my build.
Hope you guys Enjoy!!! :) WARNING: IT'S LONG!!!

The Project Starts...

I picked up 1yr old 06 G35 Coupe with 16k mi on it from Kenny (da mayor) @ Infiniti of messapiqua on July 4th 07.
(The dealership was closed for Independence Day, but Kenny personally came out and delievered my car on his holiday. Thanks for the special delievery haha.)
Pic of the same night. I didn't remember what it looked like until I saw this picture haha.

Now the Fun Starts...

-Engine

Before I got the car, I had a plan to build a widebody showcar.
APR widebody to be exact. I fell in love with the bodykit I had to get the car lol.
BUT, Any show car without Go mods is not for me. :rolleyes:
So, I shopped around to find a good/reputable shops in the Tristates to help me to get my project going. And found VinnyTen Racing in NY.
Then, I put on some parts...

-VTR Stage 3 Fully built Engine containing:
Darton M.I.D Sleeve
ARP Studs kit
CP Pistons
ACL/Calico Bearing
Cometic Head gasket
Carrilo H beams w/WMC bolts
Nismo Crank, Oil Pump
Ported and Polished Heads
Titanium Lower Retainers
Dual Single Valve Springs Etc...

- The Beginning of the WideBooty!!!

After all the go mods were done, I had a very little fun driving the car due to the break in period, And a show schedule I wanted to make.
So my sleeper looking G was taken to Bodyshop and all the Body Killing Dust project was begun.

My initial Build included:
- APR Wodebody, Molded G2 Trunk Spoiler, Molded Front Grill, Painted Taillights

All the test fittings, Fiberglassing, Sanding almost made me give up lol.
Maybe it's just me but the APR kit I got had a HORRIBLE fitment.
Atleast that was the impression I got. :(

https://g35driver.com/forums/members...re14797-16.jpg

Anyways, after whole lot of inhaling dust...
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...fore-paint.jpg

And my choice of color was... Lambo white with HOK Red/Diamind Flakes.
I wanted it to stand out a lil bit from the other white cars. And it did in person. (few of the guys saw my car last year at various HIN shows.)
But it looked stock IP on the pics which was a BIG turn off for me.
:(

Anyways, pics talk louder than my words...
My first show @ HIN BOSTON
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...hin-boston.jpg
@ Carisle, PA
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...31-carisle.jpg
@HIN OH (It was a fun drive 10 straight hour. No Blue tape lol)
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...14802-ohio.jpg

Then.... Switched out a few things...
Like Coilover switched from KW v2 to JIC a2.
Powdercoated pipings, Manifold, Rims....
Stoptech to Project MU...
@HIN NY
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...-v1-hin-ny.jpg
@Wheel Concept Show
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...820-v1-wcn.jpg
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...e-dress-up.jpg

Then I had a few month between the show schedule, so I decided to spice it up a lil bit and more extreme than VIP.
So started cutting out some parts and molding things....
and it was the Beginning of V2 and went EXTREME!!! (inspired from Drift cars)

-Hood
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...14813-hood.jpg
-Fender
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...812-fender.jpg
- Built up around the Sides/ Front/Rear Bumper to Wrap the wheels more. (Making it more rounded than Straight)
- Rear Quarter/Side
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...-side-rear.jpg

And...........................Last but not Least
NEW PAINT!!!!!! PPG Custom Mixed 3stage Lime green with Blue/Green Pearl
https://g35driver.com/forums/members...re-graphic.jpg
I know it looks wierd huh?
Well this color doesn't look that good in picture I donno why? :(

Nice write-up Leo on a very extensive build. The green paint looks so ridiculous when the light hits it. I thought I liked the white better until I saw the pearl shining that night at HIN Englishtown.

wow... how much money would you say youve spent building your car thus far?

not a huuuuge fan of the decals, but the car overall is awesome.
