    Default G35 American Radio Build Daily Driven - Show and go

    This car is one of the International Allstars member’s car. He has decided to turn his daily driver into a more fun and showy type car so he wanted to build the motor and add some tunes. After the car is done at Forged Performance it will go to the body shop where it will receive a new coat of paint, custom rear wide body, and other upgrades. He wanted a custom system yet be able to use the car daily for groceries etc… So the idea was to make it rock inside with great mids and highs and then build a nice trunk set up that would kick hard and low and be able to cover it all up for daily driving.

    We picked up the car from Forged Performance after they built the motor and upgraded to twin turbos.











    Car was trailered to American Radio and we started to do work





























    Car dyno-ed at 536.6 hp









    We started at the battery







    Fixed the fitment on the trunk lid with these bolts, spacers, and washers











    Some of the goodies going into the car



    Taking door panels off



    Hybrid Audio Imagine 6.5” component/convertible speakers up front















    Stock vs. New





    Stock 6x9





    Taking the rear section out





    Polished the headlights













    Sound deadening going on















    Hybrid Imagines in



    Clearance



    Hybrid Imagine 6x9 in rear





    Head unit wiring



    Dash apart







    Head unit in





    Custom gauge pod in the making. We took the stock DVD Rom casing and made it our new pod. Lots of behind the scenes wiring to make this work since the car needs the DVD Rom wired up to operate correctly































    All done



    Planning out the trunk




    Stripped down











    Sound deadening in







    Box building



































































































    All the layers



    Ready to roll

    Nice build. I'm glad you found a use for that compartment above the glove box, because you can fit a few sticks of gum and in there and that's about it.

    Why the one centered FMIC and not the two side ones?



    Just seems more efficient. Cool car though.

    Yeah lots of wiring we had to do back there to trick the ecu to think that module is still there

    Ah that makes sense. I was just confused with such of a choice and all of that money being spent. Good stuff, Greddy bumper?

    not sure yet. the owner has more plans for it. for example it is back at Forged now for some more suspension mods and after that the custom widebody will be fabricated along with the new front end

    Nice work! Guys that's a Greddy kit and that's the reason why it doesn't have the JWT intercooler kit.

    I know that but I was asking why he didn't go with the other kit because I ASSumed he was keeping the stock front bumper.

    thanks, those wheels are actually the loaner wheels from Forged. They are the only wheels they had on hand that would clear those brakes. The car is going to be fitted with some very nice 3 piece wheels after the widebody is complete. Thank you.

    It sure is but also the new bumper will make it pop and show off more.

    WoW! Excellent work done. By far the cleanest looking audio setup I've seen in quite some time.
