1/4th time... ?

[Kenrik]

Estimate this for me..

2003 G35 Coupe 6mt - Stock is 14.2 @ 101 with a 0-60 of 5.7 - 6 Seconds (Tested by Car & Driver)

My setup is as follows:

Tein S-Tech SpringsBlox 5/8th Intake SpacerZ-TubeGrounding KitEngine Damper

18x8.5 245/40/18 Front18x9.5 275/40/18 Rear

No spare tire and 40 LBS of net front seat weight removed. (replaced with a lightweight R34 GTR seat)

Times would be at 10ft above sea level (Florida) and 70 degrees temp.

Mid 13s ? 0-60 in 5.5?

take a swing at it. I'm thinking of taking it to the track to find out for sure.

[g35sedanlover]

taking a guess but closer to 14 flat than 13.5. Shaving a half second is pretty hard...

[Beancooker]

13.8 at best is my guess.

[smockers83]

You could take out the rear seat for the night...that's got to be a little bit of fat.

ok ill tell you now but on a sedan. Its been tested on a track.03 sedanMotordyne plenum spacermotordyne lower plenum (MREV2)Stillen airboxstillen z tubeunothodox pulleysborla catback exhaust

The run was before i put on the pulleysso 0-60 it ran 5. ( i made couple of runs and it was 4.8 once, the other time it was 5.1 so i rounded that off to 5 flat)and 1/4 mile was 13.8 @106mph

I posted pictures of slips from the track 2 months ago

On a non rev-up?

[g35sedanlover]

WhiteyClay,FYI, I put an electric fan in my car and noticed a bigger difference then with the under drive pulleys. It is a great upgrade!!!

[TeflonG35]

Electric fan? You guys are getting me addicted to adding things to my car.

[tollboothwilley]

why go with an electric fan....???

[g35sedanlover]

faster warm up, better cooling, runs quieter when it hasn't kicked in but most of all MORE POWER. I believe the only G that came with a mechanical fan was the 03 auto sedan. For everyone else, the electric fan should be standard. The mechanical fan has a clutching mechanism that is VERY heavy. I will try to remember to take a pic when I get home. I noticed a bigger increase in power from this then any other mod that I have done (coupe mid-pipe, intake, plenum spacer, UD pulleys...). If you have a mechanical fan, get rid of it!

[TeflonG35]

This is the first i have heard of this. Do you have a site where we can order an electric fan?

[g35sedanlover]

Because only the 03 sedan auto has it, I don't think it is a common upgrade. I have seen stock G35 fans on e-bay, then you need a relay and thermostat combo (also on e-bay or from a fan manufacturer). Some fan companies make all in one units too. I just bought a flex-a-lite fan and separate controller on e-bay. Let me know if you are interested and I can try to find some more information for you.

Wow.... Like $200 for just a damn fan..... Would maybe adding a nismo thermostat help? Gay..... The 03 sedan keeps getting hosed.

[poms302]

I put an electric fan on my Mustang knowing that it would free up some horsepower...but i got alot more than I expected, very noticeable.

[rn79870]

Somebody say Mustang....Here is a mod that's good for 540+ HP and 510+ lb.ft. torque.

[Sentientbydesign]

I'm wondering how the springs will affect your drag time. I was told that squishy springs reduce peeling out.

But it's still a Ford!

[ArizonaG35]

Geez Bob, that's a pretty neat set up... wait a minute... I thought your rustang was RED?!?!?! Have you been cheating on us in a Mustang Forum?

BTW: Where the hell is Gwoods on this thread? He's usually right on top of the 1/4 mile posts...

FYI<---> I HATE that..yes you're correct 100% I got the pulleys because one of my pulles was messed up so I got UR for 275$ the whole set so i went with it....

And to answer to rest of you guys...its a non-rev up auto

[audtatious]

I'm wondering how the springs will affect your drag time. I was told that squishy springs reduce peeling out.

Probably not as much as on other cars as I assume the G will have semi-stiff springs anyway. On my Maxima, adding Eibachs put me a good .2 seconds faster than other stock Maximas. Of course, being FWD it may be more of a difference as well.

[goneracin]

Sorry for the thread jack, but WhiteyClay is that a 05 front bumper on your 03 in your sig?

[g35sedanlover]

Thats roughly 5 pounds of rotating mass!!! That doesn't include the air resistance on the fan blades...

[TeflonG35]

I just looked at my car today....my fan is mechanically driven...Gay... I may ask for your help later.

I have an o4... It is possible that it was manufactured in 03?? correct????

I will be getting one of these if so, and the damper as kenrick has recommended...

So,... to clarify, what is the cost of the conversion???

[g35sedanlover]

I will do a full write up in the modification thread, soon...

[BrandAidDesignG35]

OK, so, damper is ordered,....

Thanks for the info... I'll see what I've got under my hood before I get my panties in a bunch

[TeflonG35]

Actually if you want to go a little cheaper route i am pretty sure you can hook the electric fan to a switch and just have the switch in your cabin somewhere. Save you time and about $40-$60

[BrandAidDesignG35]

so.... what do you do, keep an eye on the thermostat, and switch it on when needed?

Confused, but willing to learn...
