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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
