Hi.

Hi Everyone,

I finally decided to get on a forum for my G35...

I bought a used '03 G35 sedan (with premium package and 17" wheels) about two months ago and love it. It's a nice daily alternative to my other car.

Anyway, thought I'd say hi and get a few opinions from you guys since you're local.

I'm looking at getting the Bridgestone Turanza LS-V in 225/50/17... based on Tire Rack's user ratings on of them Click Here , they seem to be wonderful handling tires that are very low on the noise

Also I'd like to get anyone's opinion on whether or not I can use stock Z exhaust components on the sedan to make it any more powerful.

-Kevin

Here's some pics!

BankHeist,

First, welcome to the G world. I hope you decide to join the DFW G35 Owners Club and benefit from great meets and awesome discount from vendors all over the Metroplex. Also, you should look into our track event we're having Nov 28th...great way to stretch the legs of your new beauty...anyway, an easy power mod for the sedan is to get a G35 Coupe stock mid-pipe and install it on your sedan...it's said to be good for 5-8hp and can be attained fairly cheap. Feel free to ask ANY other G questions you have.

Thanks Randy, good to feel welcome Regarding the G35 midpipe, will a Z one do? I have more Z friends than I do G friends (I also own a 1980 280ZX). Doubt I'll be stretching my car's legs anytime, but I do appreciate the offer... I bought the G to be a daily driver for my 12s Subaru (which is currently on jackastands in my garage )
