    Default Another G35 question

    For those who have known me for a while they know I had a Twin Turbo G35 before I started my business. Pictures:





    Now here is whats racking my brain, would it be redundant to buy another G35 and modify it all over again? I've tried to think of other options but everything gets compared to the TT'd G and typically loses in comparison.

    I know other opinions typically shouldn't matter but I cannot decide what to do, the look of the car and the fact that I can do a lot of the maintenance and mods myself since I already know so much about it makes it a great choice.. plus I loved having a Twin Turbo VQ. Thoughts?

    Loved your g man, still the hottest one I've seen to date. Imo, you should wait till august and scoop up the new g37 coupe and then TT that .

    lol thanks. I've thought about that but man.. the jury is still out on the styling. I know in the end the G37 will have more potential than the G35 as far as looks and power goes but I can build the G35 just the way I want it right now. With such a high compression ratio and the new engine theres no telling how long it will be before you can TT a G37. At the least I'll wait till the 37 comes out to see how it is.

    lol thanks, business went really good may but since labor day its been extremely slow.. i think businesses like mine are more seasonal but its okay, the holiday season is what I'm shooting for. I think I'll end up with another G and a slightly different look.

    That black one is insane! Exactly how I would do it, BBS wheels, the grill, even down to the Skyline badges.
    Nice work!!

    Now mod a IS 350 instead!!!

    Nothing wrong with doing it twice, I am on my 2nd GS 400/430. Good luck!

    T, I told you dude....Wait for the 08 G37 then start playing with it.

    I know you're power hungry, but wait for the new platform. I think you'll like it better dude.

    I know it's hard. We've been chatting a lot, but it makes no sense going back to older model.

    Better yet, GT-R is just around th corner.

    The G35 is the Nissan Skyling 350GT. Nothing's wrong with rebadging it with the JDM name.

    If he was to call it a GT-R, yes, that'd be rice. Next time, please read the book. It's the Ricers who think that all Skylines are GT-R

    If you are calling call him Rice, then the whole JDM trend is rice?

    800's? hmm... now THAT I did not know, I knew about the APS Extreme but did not know the real potential of it. I need to frequent the Z forums more often. I like those numbers.. a LOT

    The wait is killing me, you and I both know it'll be a year before dealerships calm down with the GT-R and the G37.. again its the wait I guess.

    You drive a relatively stock looking civic with a cannister sticking out of the back and my G is rice? The logic behind that is amazing.

    I'm wasting my time responding to your comment but personally I didn't even know about the whole "JDM" thing when I rebadged my G.. I just wanted it to be different and I knew the G35 is known as the Skyline everywhere else. I guess to unknowing people the R34 GT-R is the only skyline there ever was.

    Are you looking for another luxury sports car? The G35 was insane and super nice. As far as performance, you know you'll have to probably spend a good bit of money to at least build the motor to run with modified Evos, STis, Corvettes, etc.

    It all depends on what you want. Performance, comfort, reliable, etc.

    I'm trying to justify an APS kit and built motor for my car for next year.

    APS on your Z will be CRAZY! lol When you do it I have to see it in person, it was one thing when APS offered a TT kit for the 350Z but when I saw they do corvettes my jaw dropped to the floor.

    But yeah I want luxury and sport, I loved the fact that I could take a long road trip in my G and have fun with the comfort of a luxury car. The ride wasn't the best but I really don't care about that.. at this point I'm not concerned about what I run at the track or what I can beat on the street.. I just want something that keeps a smile on my face and looks good while doing it.

    I think you should do something with an 07 6speed sedan. Very fun car to drive. I can only imagine the potential.

    If you want the asnwer to your question it would be YES.

    Nothing wrong with doing it all over again as long is it suits your financial planning - go ahead.

    Just think of what caused you to sell it the first time around (i'm sure you already have numerous times).

    VQ37HR would be very tempting though.

    Be one of the first to go crazy on the G37! Get mag coverage

    Especially if you got one of these local companies to fab you a manifold and intercooler piping! Send the designs off to one of these big companies, get free turbo stuff and sponsors, and get mag coverage lol

    Actually it would be if you put it into an M45. They are about the same size as the 5 series.
