I have a 2005 G35x AWD.


65k miles.
- Z tube
- Rev-up airbox
- 5/16 MD copper iso spacer
- coupe mid with stock muffler
- FI's HFC
- 18.5 lb wheels
- coilovers
- shaved off about 30lb of extra random stuff (not that it matters)

I dont want to get a K/N or try R2C intake, because i have a working combo now and well price for that possible 1 extra pony over this design isn't worth the cost.

I thought about changing the stock muffler into a HKS or custom but i dont want it to be louder so unless there is huge gains in this thats a no go.

I think i covered most of the proven mods aside from a uprev tune and going boost of some sort. Am i overlooking something?

Let me know guys. thanks

Muffler won't add anything noticeable....

From a performance perspective, what about a Uprev tune?

a uprev tune is the end of the road in mods. Unless i'm there (it close to it ) I dont want to get it just yet.

Sorry, missed where you mentioned the uprev in your OP...

How about a lightened pulley? Kinetix intake manifold?

JATO pack is not a logical step too?

you two are just GOOFY :gapteeth:

But yea, i think i'm done with the car. Nothing to look forward to other then enjoying the ride after getting that uprev tune. Which i'm on the fence about.

FI is not in the books as my car is a REAL daily driver. Cant really afford it to be down much at all. Plus we dont have a upgrade for that transfer case.

Uprev is a good step. I'm running the Cobb AccessPort setup and it was worth it IMO. Damn shame Cobb dropped future support for N/A cars. If I knew that was going to happen I would have gone Uprev.
