My To Do List!

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Hey Guys... I want to thank everyone for all of your input on everything that I have been doing.

Car goes in on Tuesday Morning to Have the motor replaced, the JWT flywheel and Stage 2 clutch installed, and a new transmission.

The dealer will also be installing the MD 5/16th spacer, the DC headers, and the Ebay resignated test pipes w/ CEL fixes.

I will be receiving the tool to roll the fenders on Friday... can't wait to get that done!

I am also waiting on the revised 06 350z suspension that Chad Aylor Sold me from nico... 250 bux shipped to my door... (Thanks Chad!) This will be my weekend project.

And I called a custom exhaust shop in my area that 3 people recommended to use and he gave me a great price on the exhaust.

I will be changing from the Y pipe back... He is going to mount a 3" pipe that leads to a resignator and then will lead to a 3" inlet to a flowmaster muffler with 2- 2 1/2" outlets. All this will be done under then car before the differential.

And then I will be adding 2 1/2" aluminum pipe to have dual exits on the sedan.

All the custom exhaust work with the Muffler will be 300 bux. I told him I wanted a nice tuned deep sound.. He told me the Flow master will be a great fit for what I want.

I am so ready to get everything done!

I have this exhaust setup on my 300 m which is a 3.5 liter V6. It sounds very good. I think it may have lost a little at the very bottom end but had some gains in the mid to high rpm range. I pick this setup out of 3 that were tried out with me in the car. The others created a nasty resonance in the car. One thing to watch for with the Flowmaster is to keep water out of it. My first one fell apart when I got water in it during a flood. This I heard is an issue. It may never be a problem for you unless you wash your exhaust system from the inside, I had no choice got caught in almost 2 foot of water on a nearby road when I5 flooded at Grand Mound, Washington.

Thanks for the update... Can't wait to get it installed...

Ok Just got the car back today.

They installed the spacer, but they wanted 600 bux to install the headers. I was like... I will have an exhaust shop do them.

The new "updated" motor has a lot more TQ.

When I first got the car back at the dealer the service guy told me that the idle will be a little higher because of the spacer... I was like ok... (Not really happy about that) I got out on the road and the idle was at about 1100 rpms. The good thing about this is that their was no chatter from the new flywheel...

Well by the time i got home the idle had readjusted itself back to normal and the chatter was a little more present. I then got a CEL... took it to the auto parts store and it was the idler or something to do with that. I had it cleared and no problems so far.

The Shifts are very crisp and precise. And that new clutch really grabs good. The fly wheel spins up so much faster!

I am much impressed by the work of the tech. he even was able to put the the engine cover back on.

On tuesday I need to take the G to the Exhaust shop for the full exhaust overhaul. I can't wait to hear the sweat noise the G will be singing once she is done and broken in.

Tomorrow morning I will be rolling the fenders as well as installing the 06 revised suspension. I will post some pics of the drop after I am done!

Wish me luck guys!
