Greetings All!
I am brand spankin new to the Infinity group.. I have owned Nissan's in the past most notably a 93 Maxima SE and a 98 Altima SE.. then I switched over to the world of Diesel 3/4 trucks and started doing performance mods to those big ol trucks. When you can get 450+ RWHP out of a 3/4 ton truck and boost your torque output to 820+ ftlbs then you have POWER!
Well, a change in jobs has required that I move back into a vehicle and thus I have just purchased a 2004 G35 Sedan. She is the Desert Platinum color ( SILVER ) with the 5 speed auto. The car is fast... but in the immortal words of Tim the Toolman, I want MORE POWER! I cannot just leave this alone so I will be researching what is available in the aftermarket for performance upgrades, etc.
Glad to have found this club. In my turbodiesel world, there is a great club with 20,000+ members which puts out a quarterly mag running at 180+ pages long full of topics of interest for all generations of the Cummins equipped Dodge Diesel trucks. I hope that the NICO forum is as good as the TDR ( Turbo Diesel Registry ).
Personal information - I live in the Tulsa, OK area and love all things mechanical... never dealt too much in souping up cars till I hit 40! A late in life bloomer but heck, I am loving it! Anyone in the Tulsa or OKC area let me know what is going on.
Thanks to all ~
Another Newbie!

Welcome to Nico! You'll find anything you need to know in these forums. Be sure and get familiar with the search function; it works fairly well.
Well, to answer your questions...I too am a "Tim the toolman"
1. Intake-upgrade from the air filter back. I love my JWT popCharger! In combination with the Z-tube, its a perfect upgrade.2. Plenum upgrades. The spacer and other goodies are the next recommended upgrade. Check out motordyne engineering for a good explanation. http://www.motordyneengineering.com/G35.asp3. Exhaust. A nice cat back will enhance the car. I personally recomend stillen or Nismo.
Those will set you back a few grand...after that there's boost applications and internal mods...lots of coin!
Have fun! Be sure to post some pics up in the user rides section.

Re: (joe603)
Hey Joe603,
Thanks for the response.. I will do my homework before I do any mods.... In my world ( being the Tim the Toolman type ) it is nice to have a good friend who is more or less the Al Borland to my Tim! HA. Anyway, I have access to a lift and a full set of tools not to mention my own set of tools I have invested in since I bought my Turbo Diesel truck.
Thanks again for the data and looking forward to growing into this family of G35 enthusiasts
