a lot of the people i asked told me that the most you could get out of bolt ons on a g35 is about 10-15 whp..... This is why i wanted the opinion of g35 owners.... so basically I/H/E + a tune can get you about 30-40 crank HP?... BTW 315 crank is hardly the double of 210 and im currently at 265 ....failwheel drive mind you

I think a couple of items come into play that you should also consider. One is the weight of the 'G' in its stock form. It is heavier than some of the competition so once modded that will not change much in most cases. Again you need to keep what you want at the tail end of your project in mind.

The other thing is where does the horse power / torque come into play? Many of the bolt on mods that you will see will post some excellent numbers but these numbers are often in areas where most rarely drive. Some actually show a decrease in areas you do normally drive. You need to consider this as well when comparing different cars to each other, especially when modding.

If I was going to mod my 'G' I would probably work on the suspension while trying to maintain most of my ground clearance (it is an AWD I bought mostly for snow after all). I may do some body kit work to give the illusion of being lower than it actually is.

Now for those black fender skirts i am developing for all 'G's.

ya sorry about being a little harsh but I guess when you spend a lot of time on clubrsx.com the a$$ seems to rub off on you .. .seriously its that bad ... lmao anyway... thanks for the advice... so what you guys are basically saying is that a 05 G35 coupe will not gain that much from bolt-ons ? does anybody have figureS? like for an intake header spacer job? Im really hesitating between RWD and sexyness .... or not as sexy but AWD and turbo.... tough decision

You have to ask yourself "what do I really want the car to do?"

Do you want a 1/4 mile track beast? Do you want a road track monster?Do you want a slammed show car?

The G35 will not do any of those things without a major $$ investment. However, it's comparable to the 350/370Z in performance, but with a rear seat.

Resale value is another good quality of the Infiniti...they are worth more later when you go to sell, compared to a lot of other cars.

As for HP numbers...lets just quit BS-ing. To get over 400 RWHP, you need to go FI. No amount of bolt-ons will get you close. For my 05 coupe, I'm probably around 250-275 RWHP and I have the standard bolt-ons...(didn't want to do headers or HFCs). I have a JWT short ram intake, z-tube, plenum spacer, MREV2, and a Stillen Cat-back exhaust. Just that small list is over 2k in go fast parts (I have another 5k into the stereo system).

Joe you can get 400whp without FI. But you need 7 grand in stuff. Like 10.7:1 Cosworth pistons and rods, GT5 Crank and heads and Cams, Direct intake runners, higher pressure/capacity fuel injectors and system, long tube headers and freeflow exhaust, also an ECM tune like no other. You'll have about 390-410 whp.
