not getting too cocky! lol we are all brothers here, no worries. I am not competing and was not showing off. On the contrary, just wanna help out my fellow g guys. THat's why I had my baby G be a guinea pig for a month now.

Its almost there though. Just 2 mods left: the Fujitsubo Y-pipe and the electric fan conversion. Stand by for my dyno though. Will be added to the Tech/Mod section of the forum.

Also, here is the link to the pics I took on the day of the meet:

PM me gurgen on where you got all your stuff and your future stuff! Thanks!!

 

wicked G35:

Actually no! Let me explain.

THe coupes are better tuned thatn the sedans in the ecu. The gains on the 5AT sedan are MUC MUCH higher than the coupe's. That's because NISSAN tunes the coupes better in the stock condition becasue they are 'sportier'. I agree with that, 2 doors are sportier than 4 doors. But you have to be a little smarter and more objective before claiming that you will always have 20 more HP than the sedans with the same mods. Read up some of the threads in the Tech/Mod forum.

These cars have IDENTICAL ENGINES and transmission capabilities (provided you compare 5at's to 5at's and 6mt's to 6mt's) with THREE RELEVANT EXCEPTIONS. The ECU, exhaust, and the fact that the auto sedans have a mechanical radiator fan instead of electrical. both of these are modifiable. The first one I took care of already and have the performance of a 350Z engine at the crank. The fan one is also coming .. and will ad 10-12 HP at the crank. Now think about the exhaust, the only difference is in looks between the two borlas or stillens or injens (for the sedan and coupe). NOW when you take all this into account, the truth is that you WILL have IDENTICAL performance at the crank, not "20 HP more..." More so, at the wheels under normal road loads the sedan s faster because it is at least 53 lbs lighter 3369 vs. 3422 lbs (for the leather AT models).

Think about this. Do not mean to offend you, I just mind you (or anyone else) spreading subjective misinfomation!

If you think I said something factually wrong, Iw ill be the first to think about it and admitmy mistake.

No offense taken at all, we are indeed brothers after all. I'm just comprehending your main points. I will look into this a little more and get back to you. As far as mechanical fans on the sedan, why? Why did Nissan not go electrical in the first place like they did with the coupe?


-Blk/Blk G35c

 

Very simple, the sedan just cannot be as fast as the coupe (from the marketing standpoint). It is in fact harder to make a mecahnical one than electrical.

As far as what I said, It does make sense, very good sense. I am not being immodest, believe me. I really don't think there is anyone that will refute anything I said here, because I base it on very extensive research, my own knowledge, experience, as well as those of very smart and experienced people (technosquare's Danny and Todashi, DaveO, and several others. to name a few).

let me know when you do the fan... I am quite interested in this one. This one will probably void the warranty, eh?

cheers,

Ted, My warranty has been void a LONG TIME AGO. LOL

Not really. You just have to be very straight with those dealer *******s. By law, THEY have the burden of proof demonstrating that my mod DIRECTLY caused a failure. It will be hard to prove. Now, if you burn up the engine from overheating in the event of your electrical fan failing and you not noticing all the beeping warnigns and the hot temperature gauge going through the roof, then just put the mecahincal fan back on before you have it towed to the dealer for a brand new engine. Hey, that's a good idea.... lol
