New to Infiniti New to Forum Couple of questions

[gmoney35s]

So i recently just purchased a 2007 Infiniti M35 Sport and need a baseline for mods i seen a few things i.e. the plenum spacer which i am wanting to know is it worth the money idk to much about the infinit so please be easy on me also i liked one of the sport conversion front ends i believe it was the 2008 i believe it doesnt look like mine but it would be something i would want to do however i have that cruise control that senses the vehicle in front of you would i need to do anything to the new front end to keep that ?? Any suggestions for mods and mods that work would be greatly appreciated looking forward to all the help

[DoN_BLaZe34]

Welcome to the forum. Your list of mods will depend on what you want out of the car. Most will say a drop, tints, exhaust, etc are necessary.

To do the 08+ sport bumper update, you would just need the bumper grille with the hole in it. I hope this helps

[gmoney35s]

it does help actually thank you i was planning on drop i just ddnt know who i wanted to use as far as exhaust goes im ooking for an aggressive sound im already tinted and i would like to add power to it idk if they made any turbos or superchargers for this vehicle

[atlM35]

Welcome to the forum!

My opinion:
Skip any cold intake, go with a plenum spacer and full exhaust... then UpRev tune.

If you just bought the car and don't know the history of it, I would start with changing out all of the fluids and a new set of plugs.
Then you know where you stand in terms of those maintenance items.

Good luck and have fun with the car!

[gmoney35s]

Alt35 i thought about the fluids are there any plugs in particular that you would recommend that work well with this car and is there a link for this plenum spacer that would be a good price

look at the seller's reviews and what all comes in the package.
I believe this one is a complete kit from a seller with good reviews:

Never use anything BUT NGK plugs on a Nissan/Infiniti motor. Not even kidding.

[gmoney35s]

Ok not to undermind you i just am new in this why dont use anything but NGK what outcomes have come from this im used to american cars like i said this is my first infiniti i was actually going to buy a vette but my buddy talked me into this and i am loving it i think i want to do that 08 font end conversion i just dont know what all it entails so im looking for more insight

[InfinM3506]

You have the adaptive cruise control radar sensor in the front. It work for the front swap I have an 06 M35 and did the full front end swap looks amazing. Check out this post 06-front-end-swap-to-08-m35-with-vossen ... 67581.html

[gmoney35s]

INFINM3506 yeah i seen yours it really inspired the swap i like that front end i was thinking either that or a body kit from sarona so i dont need anything for the headlights have you found any aftermarket grills for this swap i like the look just looking to debadge everything was actually looking into pulling the badge on the back hen i get the lip spoiler for it
wanted to get a new chrome peice and pull that INFINITI writing to

[InfinM3506]

I swapped out my headlights but I think your has the black headlights right? Also if your not wanting any of the logos on your car then ya you would have to go aftermarket unfortunately. This grille without the logo has a hole. Idk if the rear logo has holes in the trunk so i left that there but did debadge my m35. Also soon im looking into plasti dipping all the chrome on the car matte black and doing orange on the front a back logos, Orange Lugs and Orange Brake Calipers once i decide if i wanna do the Akebono BBK. Also not a big fan of our Year front ends even with a lip or anything. Just no good lines and boring. Im also looking to do alot of performance mods soon once i get a few deals going.

Another Post I Made.

Mods currently have done. 08-10 Sport Front End with Sport Headlights, New 20" Vossen CV3 Staggered Wheels, Lowered on Eibachs Pro Springs, and New KYB Shocks. Almost done on the looks of the car looking to get the stock spoiler, yellow tint my fog lights and LED all my lights, then will be working hard to have it tuned with as many mods as can be done to our cars.

Future Upgrades have in mind- If you know of better performance mods staying Naturally Aspirated no turbos or superchargers.
~Motordyne XYZ Pipe w/HFC
~Berks High Flow Cats
~Full Megan Exhaust
~Pop Charger Intake
~Z-Tube
~Unorthodox Pulley Kit
~Motordyne Plenum Spacer
~Would the Megan Headers do anything for performance?
~MREV2 (Been thinking about this mod)
~Up-Rev Tune after Everything

If you have any other Performance mods I might be missing let me know!!!

[gmoney35s]

INFIN3506 once i figure out how to post pictures ill post some of mine and you are correct the infiniti logo on the back has two holes i have to figure out what color mine is called but im pretty sure im going to offset it with a gloss back. I am going to glass the holes in but like i said i want to get the lip spoiler and i would love to start doing performance mods i definitely want to get rid of that stock exhuast i just dont like that four tip look and does your front end sit lower then the sides maybe add some new side rockers if it is in my opinion i have noticed it was a lot easier to mod my 300 lol but definitley enjoying this new ride

[gmoney35s]

also so does the same parts for the G35 motor work on the M im having difficult time finding stuff for the M

[InfinM3506]

Get a Flickr Account its free thats what I did. Ya i wanna get the Stock Rear Spoiler. Looks sick. If you dont like the dual tips i would look at the stillen exhaust. I was going by sound more then anything. A guy on here by CPJ LB has a youtube account Under ANTHCPJLB His third to newest video with the Full Megan Exhaust, Motordyne xyz pipes and Berk Hi Flow Cats I think sounds amazing. That's the sound i will be going after. The Front looks a little lower then the sides but only cause the sides round in. Im sure sideskirts would look good with the rear as well. And doing the same with the front. One of the guys on here took a TL front lip and bonded it to the front of his 08 front end. Looks sweet. There is alot of things I would wanna do, pull the rear fenders out some.

[gmoney35s]

man sounds sick im keep following you on this no doubt i would like to pull the rear fenders as well but im still debating on the wheels i found a couple i like just got to stay reasonable just got out the military and moved to new state so my gf is trying to make sure i dont spend to much money on the misstress as opposed to a new place lol so is the G motor the same as the M i ask because i noticed you said you have unorthodox pulleys when i was doing hondas i know pulleys were a great way to free up power however when i looked at unorthodox i only seen the Crank pulley

[InfinM3506]

I don't have the pulleys yet but looking into getting them actually really soon. Yes the G35 with the VQ35DE is the exact same motor. So we can use alot of the same parts. I found an unorthodox pulley kit with the alternator and the water pump pulleys. Also i think only my year has three idler pulleys yours might not sure. But there is a way to get rid of one of the three. I bought new NGX Iridium IX spark plugs, will be installing soon. The Pop Charger ill be getting soon also. This one also connects to our air inlet box on top of the radiator if you want to keep it. If not there is another pop charger one.

[gmoney35s]

man i appreciate everything you sure do have a lot of links and knowledge on this i think i will go with the pop charger instead of the full on CAI frominjen i was thinking

[InfinM3506]

About how much is your budget for wheels and tires you thinking? and you want the tpms sensors also right? I have a buddy who gets really good deals on wheels and tires. you can always check my prices thru him and see if they work for you. But obviously if you have local hook ups might be even better cause of shipping might cost $100+ even with his discount on shipping. But let me know what styles or brands you like. Vossen CV3's i think look sick on our cars. but if your into a big lip i havent really looked that way.

[gmoney35s]

I'm staying away from the lip this time I looked at a set of verde impulses I'm still undecided though it took me almost three years to get wheels for the last car as far as budget goes that to is up in the air just because my girl is buying my wheels for me this time

[Ilya]

Ok not to undermind you i just am new in this why dont use anything but NGK what outcomes have come from this

Just don't do it. lol. Trust us on this.

If you really want to know, Google is your friend. I don't have the time to really detail what non-NGK plugs (like Bosch) can do to our VQ motors. You might be okay using them for a short while, but after a while you will likely encounter the same issues many other people on the internet have encountered who have made this mistake. Misfires, dead coil packs, etc.

[rxmclaren7]

i can attest to what Ilya is saying...i tryed some aftermarket plugs (Pulstars...total waste of money) and within 6k i had a major misfire....took it to the dealer and got the NGK's put back in!! the dealer said i am lucky i did not break something!! i will always use NGK's from now on!! total cost of my mistake about $600!!!

[CPJ LB]

Welcome to NICO!! Looks like you're on the right path with mod suggestions.... Please stick with the NGK's though.... Big difference....

[gmoney35s]

Thank you everyone for the help i look forward to start my mods here soon once i do i will let you guys know how its coming along and once i get a flickr so i can post pics i will.
