Hi Guys just bought a 04 G35 Premium with Sat nav and the bose system. Car also has sunroof, 18's and a trust exhaust being fitted as we speak.

Vehicle is blue and a auction grade 4.5 A only having 18,000kms.

I am looking to mod the car as soon as it gets here. Not going all out but minor mods all around.

Am wanting to fit 20' inch wheels

All infiniti badging

Billet grills from the states

Lower the vehicle

Remove standard stereo and install a full aftermarket system.

If anyone has further ideas / upgrades please let me know and if there is anyone with 20 inch rims already fitted i would be interested to see how they look. Have a friend with a 350z with 20's on the front and 22's on the back but i think that may be a little over the top for the v35.

has it got infiniti badge when you bought it?

I got infiniti badge on the boot but nissan on the front grille...

it's quite hard to find USDM factory infiniti badge for the front grille, done lots of google searches but no luck.

There isn't much you can do power-wise without forced induction. Yeah exhaust/intake/wheels/suspension are where you'd start.

Looks-wise the V35 is sexy looking just with nice rims. Don't lower it too much, and be weary of bodykits stuffing the natural lines of the car.

Won't need too much externally, but you can spend a fair bit on interior (wheel, gearknob, head unit, amps, subs, splits).

I bet it's sexy looking already! Esp. with the sunroof etc.

Enjoy champ

Mate i have compliance for V35's now and this will be the 3rd one in the family.

My uncle has a Silver 05 Premium with OEM 19's and only 15kms

My mum has a Red 03 Premium with sunroof.

Yeah stereo will be pretty big with probably a custom made centre console being made to flow through the whole car.

Getting badges is easy off G35driver.com as we have sourced all infiniti badges for my mums through that site.

Will be ordering a Carbon rear difuser in the very near future.

for the stereo panel, there is a double din kits available in the market for about $360 included ac controller assembly.

I ordered nismo rear apron and cf diffuser already, should look hot on that. also got a set of 19's racing hart rs451 for sale, pm me if you are interested.

are you planning on running a cinema in your car?

the OEM bose setup is pretty decent cpnsisting of 6-stacker, 8 speakers all amplified by a bose amp

plus on the premium models it is integragted into the steering controls which you will loste with an aftermerket setup

is it worth spending thousands on something that might only be a little bit better, if at all, with no steering controls?

you can add a sub to the stock setup if you like, search on g35driver.com there's heaps of info there

do you have any pics of your car?

Mate very interested in diffuser, pm me price etc.

Dont worry about wheels need to be 20's atleast

fair enough.. personalyl i can't understand doing these kind of mods on such an expensive car but each to their own

it will sound awesome with the right setup that i have no doubt

having pulled off the door fascia the door is factory sealed (like one would normally do with dynamat) so nissan have really thought about how things would sound, not just thrown something together..

True, probably only get a bit more. I've actually spotted a few HKS Supercharger or HKS twin turbo kit from overseas companies that is if anyone willing to spend a few thousands excluding shipping and fitting on the kit.. more like $7k+

I've even been quoted $17k by APS engineering for their 500hp twin turbo kit although they're not sure if it will fit V35 as the kit was intended for 350Z.

Won't need too much externally, but you can spend a fair bit on interior (wheel, gearknob, head unit, amps, subs, splits).

Most will have airbag steering wheel that is already nice looking, there's no point spending money on some Momo race wheels with boss kit that might look out of place in such a car. If it's a premium model then it already came Bose amps and subs... if not then nothing stopping from going aftermarket.

not bad.

a suggestion if I may,

ex alpine tech there that can probably do the same job and make it sound great..

at the very least give them a ring :thumbsup:

sorry mate not saying anything is wrong with the workshop or anything but i will never take my car anywhere else, Sergie does great work and is a personal friend of mine. I know his quality and trust him to have my car without doubt. He has built many show cars with the 2SUS s2000 taking out best audio at autosalon all year in pro class.

The S15 was more about show, the V35 will be much more subtle with only minor mods in keeping with the cars interior

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
