This was purchased as a daily driver but the mod bug hit in about 12hrs, unfortunetly its a 5at but i still want to have some fun. Start off with mods to maximize and improve the car.

Plenum, intake, plugs, ground wires, thermostat, maybe headers and exhaust.

My biggest issue is finding a fellow experience G owner that can advise and most importantly provide tools and a space to work on the car as im in a condo on the beach. I can prob work in my Works parking garage but have no tools or experience with G's

Gratz on the ride
There's few peeps here that can easily help you with that bro, plenum intake ground wires exhaust would be good to start out. headers you'll have to decide if its worth it to ya. plugs is not sumthin you'll feel anythin crazy about, n not sure what u mean by thermostat. You'll prolly wanna get all ur bolt on mods first and then get an osiris reflash to bring em all together. Search up n ask questions here, we'll try to help u out on the direction u wanna take ur ride.

I would suggest spacer, ground wires, test pipes, exhaust. Thermostat really doesnt do much for the cooling.

Every car i've ever owned i've put a lower degree thermo in to send coolant to the engine quicker... not on the G?

Also what coolers are good to bolt on? Transmission? Power steering? Oil?

Unfortunately my car is a 5at (deal to good to pass up) what can i do to upgrade the tranny?

The Stillen Radiator comes with a built in Tranny Cooler for the 5at. http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...odel=G35%202DR

There is also an upgraded Valve Body: http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...odel=G35%202DR
