Yessir! Ready to put this 4x4 beast to the test.
Checking out Z days for the first time Saturday. Looks to be a nice event as well.
Wrights G35x

Wrights G35x *new stuff*
Havent posted much since buying my car so I figured it was time to make a ride thread for the new car. Ive made a few minor modifications since I purchased and there will be a few more coming later on this year.
The next mod for sure will be BC coilovers to get rid of the monsterous ride height and front wheel gap :squint:
Then:
Mod the headlights
Paint the grille
OEM front lip
Rear diffurser
Exhaust (for sound :wub
Heres how It is a couple days after purchase, and these pics has already been posted on my Stratus page.

The air filters that were in the car were just plain paper filters and I wanted something that was easy to maintain and possibly not have to replace for a very long time. I bought HKS dry flow filters.

Some of these shots are very similar but I was playing around with the camera and Photoshopping skillz. Wanted to post all to see how they turned out.
Let me know what you think

Checking out Z days for the first time Saturday. Looks to be a nice event as well.
Went to Zdayz yesterday at Fontana Village. It was pretty awesome and tuere was a huge turn out. There were hundreds of cars there and they were all very nice. Car Nissan even had a huge tent set up with new cars on display including a 2013 Nissan GTR Black Edition
This was taken on the dragon. I have more ill upload eventually.

As I posted in my last few posts I got the car ready to go to Zdayz over the weekend and was lucky to find these pics of my car. I'm very happy with the way they turned out! Order quote a few of the prints :wub:
Only downfall from the last two was the prick in the Camaro wouldn't get off my ass :rant:

Working on these as well. The 2007 models had a defect in the coating that was sprayed on them and the coating easily scratched off. It seemed it was rubber or something?
So pebbled blasted them, need to sand some and will drop them off at the body shop to be painted flat black. The chrome strip on the trunk is being color matched and chrome trim around the windows with be gloss black vinyl.

UPDATE!
Just got the car back from the body shop and I am stunned. Looks completely different! Here is a couple pics for now but will have to pull out the good camera for a "photoshoot" later on this week.

Whats this?!
The low is coming soon to the G
Should be installed with all new brakes/rotors/fluids and a few other minor things within the next couple weeks.
Also starting on my headlights again.

Just realized I have a few images I never put up from when I installed the TopSpeed Exhaust (total crap for many reasons). I love the sound the system produces but quality of the system is no where near what it should be. Ive heard of other members on g35driver having better luck out of the earlier models of the system but corners were definitely cut on this batch.
Ass up in the air, ready for it to be played with lol :ndance:
What went back on the car. Not the exhaust I really want but this will do for the price I paid for it. I will eventually be switching to Ark Grip true dual exhaust. A little pricey but well worth the money performance, sound and quality wise.
Dirty undercarriage and super skinny piping in the back lol The exhaust on the G sedan is REALLY restricted. I am assuming that is why there's such a major exhaust note difference between the Gcoupe/Z and the sedans.
The final product. Notice the shitty fitment on the drive side? Yea, that's just one of the issues I've had with this product. Not counting the jagged edged single walled tips where they were supposed to be dual wall/rolled tip and rust forming a little over a month after installation. I have to use steel wool to polish the surface rust off the system every single time I wash the car.
When I get the car back off the ground to change the fluids I will be removing the axle back section to clean up, Re-polish for the 100th time and paint the actual muffler canisters flat black. Just the tip itself is staying Chrome (well when its not rusting that is) I need to find a remedy to keep the tips from rusting permanently other then replacing them which may be my only option.
Also, this it the reason the headlights are having to be re-modded. This happened back in October just a month after it was fixed from the first accident. All is well not except for my modded headlights.
Another crappy cell phone pic just for fun to show off my plate and LEDs lol
Just for reference, this is the look I am going for with my car.

The time finally came yesterday to get the Coilovers installed on my G35. I had never installed coil overs before or worked on the suspension of this car. All while reading and researching how to do this on the G forums every one stated that the install would be easy - They lied. We started on the car at 1:30PM yesterday and did not finish until about 11:45PM with quite a few road blocks. The suspension on this car is far more complex then what that of the Stratus and Eclipse was.
Started by stopping and getting a new low profile jack and another set of jack stands. I knew that my old jack would no longer fit under the side of the car once it was lowered. Upon arrival I seen this nice looking coupe, obviously had to park beside it lol
OEM height. COMPLETE 4X4 mode.
Better views of the wheel gap
Of course it has to be higher in the front then the rear just as my Stratus was.
What went on the car. I love shiny new car parts Also pictured here is the new jack and jack stands.
Old VS New
Rear parts removed
Pretty parts back in!
To the front we go....which is what caused all the problems.
I did not get pictures of the front coils installed as it was well past dark before we got done. Here's some comparison pictures to show just exactly how much it dropped in the rear. This is the the wheel gap while jacked up on OEM suspension.
This is after coilovers while still jacked up.
Finally - Completed pictures.
Really close to the ground
Thats it for now. Will be posting more later on in the week after I do a little more tweaking to the suspension and install all new Rotors and pads. These are similar (mine are just slotted) to what should arrive tomorrow for me to install.
I am working on the headlights too just no pics until I actually get somewhere with them.
