Just bought a 2005 G35 Coupe

[t6378tp]

Well I got sick of breaking trannies so I bought a 05 g35 coupe fully loaded with every option for that year.

I thought about keeping the max and getting a 09 370z but after test driving both cars did not think it was worth giving up my back seat, paying insurance on 2 cars and the increased payments. With that said I have a 4.5 gen forsale

plus I still have a V8 S10 that should run high 10's when I get to the track, if I feel the need for more speed

[maxspeed96CT]

g35 is a nice car , if you run it hard with boost or juice the tranny doesnt hold up well either.

I am not going to go crazy with it the only mods I have planed are:

z-tube, intake spacer, 370z y-pipe, 50-75shot, utec and some borrowed DR's. I am looking for mid 13's n/a and high 12's on the juice

post up some pics bro

High 12s is tough goal without boost.


The long tubes ive seen give it some sick gains, but they are high dollar unless a new set came out.

nitrous is a form of boost

I mean in the form of forced air

turbo or superchrager ..

my fav look on the g35 is dropped on the stock rims and some spacers.

Amazing what a differance it makes...

No I dont have any on hand. Im sure theres some kickin around the g forum.

My G was a sedan on coupe 19s.

But i remeber a buddie of mine had it dropped on the stock 19s with 15mm spacers front 20 rear and it looked perfect. Not to flashy but such a huge improvment over stock.

congrats on your purchase! it's a great car, mine just doesn't have 3rd gear

I'd seriously add either the motordyne 5/16" spacer or the powerlab 3/8" spacer. Or the Crawford V5 if you can find one. Whatever one you find used first.

[vntperformance]

Congrats!

Nice color and choice. Watch out for the following:

1) Oil consumption <---- watch it closely
2) Weak 6MT syncros
3) Weak clutch

thanks, I have followed your threads closely on g35driver but I bought a auto this time so no syncros and clutch problems to worry about just oil which I am used to from my 4.5gen

if you start modding, you'll still have to worry about clutches

nice purchase, anything rwd is good in my book

hey, i know what it costs to replace the clutches in an auto, its not pretty

[Jeff92se]

The auto is from the Q45 so it's a stout unit. But if one feels the need for more holding power, one can opt for a valvebody mod, ala getting a transgo kit installed or getting the mod done by various vendors.

[t6378tp]

put it this way I made an appointment with the tranny shop a month before I bought the car, cause I do not like how smooth the shifts are in G's

he quoted me 250-300 for labor

[bigleman]

i love the Transgo kit in my car but my tires hate it

I'm looking for an 06 Sedan 6MT to replace my 5 gen 6MT. Amazing I'm asking everyone about the bulletin and to see the service records and even Nissan/Infiniti dealers had no clue about it. To the OP how do you like your car thus far, After the test drive today, the car is seems to handle better but Im not impress with the AT Rev-up Sedan.

FYI, there is no 5AT Rev-up sedan or coupe. The oil-burner Rev-up was only available in the 05/06 6MT cars.

My bad, I just assumed you got a 6MT. Mid 13s will be pretty hard to come by NA unless you decide to go with a higher stall TC, gears, or both. There have been a couple guys that have gone 13.4-13.6s NA with the 5ATs, but it's taken most of the bolt-ons, tranny work, and a fast track to do it. I'd set your NA sights on a 13.9 and anything better than that would be gravy.

Like Jeff said, the 5AT is pretty stout. If you want to increase the power capacity of the tranny, you might want to look at upgrading some of the internals to those that used in the Titan/SUVs. The shift kit will definitely help reduce clutch slipage and wear.

BTW, you might want to try auto-xing the car. It's a blast, even with the 5AT.

[ajcool2]

Congrats and enjoy. Mid 13's N/A can be expensive to get in a G. After all your bolt ons go with the osirus tune and you should be able to do 13.4. I've done 13.4 without tuning in my Z but of course my car is lighter than a G.

[Dave B]

He's got an extra 400lbs to contend with in that coupe. It won't be an easy task.

well the G handles better but the maxima is faster and more fun to drive

the G is a better DD cause I drive in traffic everyday to work and it's a auto but as for comfort is about the same cause the maxima is fully loaded and has just about every option the G has except for navi

[t6378tp]

I have a question should I shave down the front two runners in the lower intake or get a 5/16 spacer. I have been reading my brains out and can not make up my mind.

I planning to do the following mods: ported lower intake or spacer, z-tube, y-pipe, osirus tune and a transgo shift.

Guess I should do more research I though all the 05-06 had bigger HP figures do to the REV-UP motor. I couldn't find a 6MT local so I test drove the AT thinking it would be the same minus the MT.

[Loe max]

looks good, you'll enjoy it.

You should also consider suspension and brake mods as well.

trying to ghetto rig a MREV lower on a non-rev up auto won't net you 1/4 of the gains the 5/16" spacer will. So that's a no brainer. MREV only gives good gains on rev up versions.

I'd go 5/16" spacer, high flow cats, Motordyne XYZ Y or some type of good catback (HKS/clone, Fast Intentions, Stillen, etc) Anything with a good H or X pipe (although the X is superior), osris tune and transgo.

Maybe a rearend swap with a slightly higher gear ratio or headers if you feel freaky

thanks I have been doing more reading and will go with the spacer and maybe the thermo gaskets. I am looking in the motordyne y-pipe but trying to see if someone local has it with stock headers and exhaust so I can see what it sounds like but if not the web will just have to do

as for cats I plan to remove them all together but thats alot farer down the line and will not bother with headers cause I may trade the car in 2-3years for a g37

a rear swap would be nice the gas mileage already stucks on this car compared to my maxima.

it auto? i didnt notice that when i first complimented...

totaly useless for any type of racing, dont eve waste any money on mods man..

You are not hittin mid 13s with it without nitrous or boost...


nice car to cruise in, but making it fast is kind of a joke...

There are autos with the typical bolt-ons and TC hitting 13.4s.

[Jeff92se]

Aren't two of the faster 1/4 maximas here autos?

Get a 1/2 inch spacer and call it a day. Dont get headers they are a waste of money. My buddys are learning the hard way with their G's and exhaust setups. The HR y-pipe hype over on driver is crazy. Just find a nice true dual and save your self the headaches. I'm trapping 105 with my current setup. 1/2 inch spacer, strup test pipes, and X02 exhaust. I met up with DSSkyline from g35driver at the track last friday to let him use my drag radials. He's gone 13.4 tuned on street tires tuned with osiris. He would be a good person to message for some ideas about mods.

Thanks I'll send him a pm, I have been reading some more and can not find any dyno proof to backup the whole HR y-pipe other than sound but started looking into aftermarket y-pipes and can't find much there either so I am just going to get a true dual exhaust and leave the stock header and cats alone.

I am bidding on a z-tube right now and will order a 5/16 spacer shortly. I am leaning towards osiris but still need to know if I can have it tuned with 2 maps n/a and nitrous before I make that dive.

Then I will get some rims and pull the nitrous off the maxima, cause if the max does not sell I am going to turbo it

[t6378tp]

ok so I just bought a z-tube and will order a hks/style exhaust soon. Then it's a 5/16 spacer and osiris soon as a heard something back from them about a nitrous tune

I am planing to get a nitrous, 93octane n/a and stock tune
