Rank your mods, what rocks & what sucks
Not all mods are created equal.
I am sure different cars/people may rank them differently. So,lets see it: How would you rank your mods relatively? Ranks among my own mods: Rocks: 1, 10-wire ground 2, PIAA Super Rozza wheels 3, OEM Front Chin 4, Custom Rear Lip Spoiler 5, Blackwood Steering Wheel 6, Carbon fiber Z-tube & Z Engine Cover OK/So-So: 1. Clear Side 2. Stillen 05 Catback 3, Tint Job 4, Aluminum Pedals 5, K&N drop-in Sucks: 1/2" ME spacer. Lost 0.2 second in 1/4 mile after install instantly, measured using before & after G-timer. The max accelerating g-force went from 0.22 to 0.21g, when doing WOT at 76 mph trigering down shift. The only saving grace is that it made my stillen a little less loud. |
maybe u have a little too much air flow, ive seen this problem before with previous people opening air flow too much. it really doesnt help unless ur going f/i

Ma_sha1,
Your 2005 G35X is it a 6MT, 298HP motor? The 2005 lower plenum, for the 298HP motor, has been redesigned. The spacer has been proven not to add any performance. If you have the 280hp motor try resetting the ECU. I gained 15HP and 17 FT-LB with my 1/2" spacer and Iso Thermal kit. I was shocked with the gain. You can feel it throughout the entire RPM range. https://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71191 |

Ma Sha1,
When you opened up your plenum could you tell if you had the 287 HP plenum or the Revup plenum? Can you post a picture of the front of your plenum? All you need to do is remove the engine cover and I can tell you which it is. |
Worthwhile mods:
3/8" Motordyne spacer high flow cats Z tube (just barely) V1 radar detector with remote readout Questionable mods: grounding kit |
GOOD:
Volk wheels Stoptech Brakes tint (gotta love privacy!) cai = whistle is kinda cool i guess.. philip bulbs SoSo: Fuji exhaust (that i use to have) tein s-tech springs front chin spoiler that cracked on me! plenum (didnt feel much of an increase) |
