Bronx, you have one sweet G35. Have you ever taken it to the drag strip to see what it can do?

Thank you sir

never taken it to the drag strip, nope... stock in the initial motor trend tests I think I remember seeing 14.2 @ 99.4 or something when I was reading online reviews before buying the car... ive only added about 15-20 crank hp with my mods...

catbacks on these cars consistently add 7-10 whp, but I love the stock exhaust note so I cant see myself bothering with the exhaust... but hypothetically if I did find a deal of someone looking to demod/ trade+cash for an OEM setup and I got an exhaust, I would get a tune for sure after that which would probably yield another 15hp or so... even stock g35/350z's gain about 8-9 hp with a tune, and obviously get a much nicer TQ curve with the optimized AF ratio

check the nut on the rack and see if it's wet down there. That's where they like to leak.

more christmas

my lumina came with 15" hubcaps... and my g35 is going to have 14" rotors on it lmao

with the ceramic pads and zinc coating these shouldnt rust and should stay looking as is pretty much for good at least at least as color is concerned

the last package came today so I installed everything at once... 350z springs... they only lower the car .5 inch but its perfect for me... I wanted to keep the stock ride since they have the same dampening ratio, and now I only have a 1 finger wheel gap... bought them for only $40 with 16k miles on them

I will wash the car in the morning and then post new pics... the braking is absurd....i have 3x the pistons now in my braking system going from 4 piston to 12 piston... the stock setup is only 1 piston calipers all around... my new front calipers are 4 piston with 2 piston rears

front brakes are 4 piston calipers with 14" rotors... the rears are 2 piston with 13.8" rotors

car is a bit dirty... just cleaned the wheels... going to wait for it to cool off a bit and ill wash it after dinner..

haha thank you!

exterior is done other than lightly tinted tails (wasnt happy with the first shade so i sold them)...

going to use a dynamat knockoff under much of the interior and do some gray inserts on the door panels... (deciding between suede or perforated leather)

performance wise i think im done... unless i find someone parting out and returning to stock and i could get my hands on one for cheap, i have my eyes/ears between 2 catback systems which are good for around 10whp... if i did that, then I would definitely get a tune to compliment the spacer/ intake mods i have so far

so your not painting the piece where your tips sit black? add a little more to the the black accents....but other then that as always it looks amazing.

I know my buddies G had over a grand in his catback, but i cannot remember what he had on his.

rears:

fronts

when I was buying them I was looking for all seasons with the most treadwear... those continentals in the rear are 540 treadwear IIRC, but the front sizes were almost double in price the eagle GT's so thats why I bought those for the front being that the tread pattern was very similar... Theyre all pretty damn quiet and the continentals are rated excellent in wet and snow... Theyre continental extreme DWS

Yes I was, I will be disappointed if they are not EXTREME! but now I notice he doesn't have all 4 tires the same... but i noticed he also has at least one Eagle GT (I have those so I know what they look like)

edit- fronts, gotcha

going REALLY REALLY REALLY light.... just enough to give them a candy red appearance.... The last ones were too dark ... I have always loved tails with a candy red look... plus i want it where you could still see the detail inside the tails because IMO that makes the rear end of this car... however, i am going to leave the reverse circles untinted

and yes it feels amazing to have a car with aftermarket lol.... on the lumina I had a GTO spoiler, mustang rims, intrigue interior, grand prix shifter, CTS engine cover, Mustang Hood Scoop, and my LED taillights consisted of 2 rings.. one from aftermarket tails of a civic, the other from an accord lol
