My Brother-in-law is looking to do something to his G35 sedan. Originall he wanted to upgrade to the new M40 but has descided not to try to get "corperate approval".
So, he came to me. I got him set ip with better tires and slightly bigger rims, but I know nothing else about these cars. There must be some lesser expensive go fast goodies for this car. What about a hot-street alignment? Anyone know something about these things? |

..Yeah! Steve Millen Supercharger: http://www.stillen.com/sportscars_products...03&EndYear=2005 Back to reality I have always found Infiniti to be a little under dampened - why not go for a nice set of sport springs and some high quality adjustable dampers or even coilovers? I'm sure Tein makes a nice coilover for that car. I'm sure a nice intake would give him a couple horsepower. ...maybe And there must be a good chip for this car too. |

Some of the G35 guys cross post on a few of the 350Z forums I visit. Tires and wheels are the most popular upgrade. Liberal amounts of Carbon Fiber is second on the list. Exhaust and Cold Air Intake are frequently changed. An Intake Plenum is another popular modification. The lightweight crankshaft pulley set from Unorthodox Racing is the hot new item. Upgraded springs are a good choice. Don't forget to add a subwoofer and video system too. A turbo kit is always an option.

No No No, No Rice stuff!
The car right now is silver with the factory body kit and looks quite nice, The wheels he chose are a +2+ upgrade; big and wide. When mounted, the tyres fill the wheelwells nicely. And man does this car handle. I was given the oportunity to "break in the tyres" and gave the car a few warm up laps in a nearby parking lot. It was the most neutral handling car I've driven. What he wants is an AMG killer, not a ricer. I'll look into 350Z forums... maybe I should stop by the dealer on the way home from work for a test drive in a new convertable while I'm at it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Besides Stillen, are there any other reputable parts companies or are the rest cheap ricer crap? |
