Well traded in the Acura which wasn't easy since I spent major $$$ on it in April, but the deal I got from the dealer which to good to say no to. In short they gave me $18500 Cdn and got the G35 for $460 cdn over dealer cost. Well driving stick is an experience which I really missed. I did try about a month ago for a 03 CL-S 6spd, but the dealer accepted the offer on the day I was gonna go and make the deal. Anyways I would like to thank Smitty, Mr. Steve, Mattg, and can't think of a few others who have helped me with the SC install and questions after questions I had. Future mods for the car is the APS TT http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/350z/g35/g35.htm but currenlty reasearching all choices for FI. Here are some pics of the new ride.


Before:





2005 G35c


Couple of Pics with my boyz G35








Thanks all....

Comptech Axleback with roughly 6500 miles are left for sale.

 

sweet!

(btw, the rims you had on the cl are by far the best looking rims for the car)

 

nice ride

You wont be sorry with the APS.

 

ahh dont agree on the rims being the best lookin, but it still looked good-post some pics of the G35 after some mods.

good luck

 

black cars >* Great choice...

 

babyblue (or will you need a rename?)

glad to see you're finally happy with the new car ... you were taking about getting the g way back in april. looks like you need to do some debadging to get that 'clean' look like the cls. i personally would take off the 'i n f i n i t i' lettering off the trunk (and replace it with 'skyline' ... )

i wonder ... 298hp at the crank with a 6mt g35c ... and you're looking for FI?! i would enjoy that first before you drop $$$ on FI. there's a great article in this quarter's 'speed' magazine with a shoot-out with 350z's. same VQ engine (but massaged a little differently). i'm sure you could use a vortech, stillen or greddy application.

rims come later? you can get real deep dish with a g and its much lower (+30 or so) offset ...

 

I like the stock wheels that the 05' G35 comes with. Good upgrade.

 

Yes by far the best for the CL, I have seen those wheels on other cars and they just dont look right

 

Thank you everyone for you kind words...


Yes on the CL the axis Mods just look sick. I have seen couple of g35 with them, and it doesn't do justice to the rims. I have always been a fan of the machined polished lip.


Yes in person the 19" stock OEM wheels just looking amazing. At first to be honest I didn't like them, but now I just love the way the look.

Hey derrick, yes I am loving the new ride. ALways had black cars except for the Acura with its eternal blue, I absolutely loved it. In regards to debadging it I will be doing it and giving it the clean look. 298 hp at the crank does have me but come on how about 400+ whp

Will definitely check out the article, and in regards to rims... Thinking of the racing hart CX, or RH Evolution J8's... Yes with these offsets, can get an amazing staggered look with the lip sizes...

Well alread started modding the G35c with 20% tints, clear corners and the 3m Bra... (yes they are simple mods, but at least its a start)

When you back in town, would definitely roll in and meet up again with the toronto crew.

Thanks again for your kind words folks...

 

Just saw your sig, and was viewing your thread... Sexy, clean. and TT Z.. Bet you love your TT, when are you planning the dyno run???

 

Great car


I personally like the rims on the other G you have in the photos more, but if you like the new ones then good for you!

 

Can't go wrong with the J8's..

 

I have been contemplating trading in my 05 TSX for a used G35 Coupe...but I'd be losing alot of money out of the deal...

 

your CL was tight! I want those axis wheels so bad. I'm too chicken to get the 19s though. I'm going for the 18s.

BTW, love the G ride. Those rims are a definate improvement from the previous model.

 

sorry for the back to back posts, but that's so true.

 

nice ride..congrats

 

I agree with you and beetroot on that... I just think the axis mods makes the CL look sexy!!!!! In regards to rim size, I would definitely go 19's with the 235/35 not the one that I had 225/35.... As long as your careful you will be fine, and 19's just fit the car so much better....

 

congrats, let us know when the turbo is in

we need some track times

i bet ya miss the whine of the cls w/ the sc...

 

I dont have a Z TT- would be nice though!!

I do have a Benz TT though(well its the fiance's but ...)

 

love the Axis Mods on the cl before. ive been trying to get them for my 05 rl but one person tells me they fit. the next says they wont. the next guy says it depends on the brakes..... WTF knows anymore

 

Definitely will post some pics once everything is in... I do miss the whine of the SC.. and top end power..... Since I sold the car, for some reason every day I see 2-3 CL's.. never happened when I had mine...


:duh: Was doing it last night at 1:00, it explains the error...

 

Well the axis mods are offset 45 which were on my car... I dont know what the offset are for the RL, so can't help you there... The maxi lips largest offset is the 42 which can fit, but need some rolling on the fendors...
