I was searching the web for some engine parts for the G35 when i came to this site.

This is a neat and clean looking body kit i found and seem to like. The G35 coupe is called Nissan 350GT skyline for anyone who was wondering why the car emblem isnt the infiniti boomerang. I just wana get a few opinions to see if its too ricey *cough* *cough* got boost you better be the first to post and this doesn't mean that ima go buy this kit. :grin:

I like this body kit the most

Not the first kit. It has boy racer styling for a car that is styled for well manners. Besides the rear bumper cover makes it look like an RX8. The second kit dosnt look too bad.

All the wheels look crappy, but the first kit is the one i liked the most, but the second one has a racing but elegant look.

I've always loved the optional lip kit that they can come with.

First kit is fucking hot. Need some better wheels, though.

Personally, I would go with the 2nd kit, it doesn't look too ricey, and keeps the nice lines of the car. The 1st one looks like butt.

LOL Got Boost, i was soo expecting that you would say something worse.

Chris i love the first bodykit but if there was somthing i would change i would probably keep the standard grille instead of having a huge black rectangle.

I like the second body kit but it looks a little boring and the rear doesnt look good. If i had the $$ to get one id probaby get the 1st one.

The silver car kinda looks like the Lexus SC with the wheels.

I would keep the body stock and add a nice front lip, possibly rear spoiler, and cut a hole in the lower valiance so that the FMIC behind there could get more air. Then be done with it body wise. The rest of the cash would go to adding power.

you're tellin me the rear bumper on the first one looks better then the second?? You're out of your riced mind.

The first one destroys the graceful lines of the car, while the 2nd one just accentuates them.

I hate how kids just want their car to look different because different is cooler.

Im gonna go with gotboost on this one the second one isnt all gawdy and huge just enough to make it look good.

The first one looks like a style for the RX8. I am going to have to say the second kit is much better because it is clean not radical. I would expect the style of the first on a neon green civic.

Thats the got boost i know. I said i liked the first one to get a reaction outa you b/c you scared the hell outa me with your first nice and censored post. I dont like the 1st at all because it is a bit ricey, and the car is too expensive and elegant looking to be riced up. The second kit is accually the one i loved, because it looks graceful but not to ricey or stock.

Second kit it is! :)

Besides i dont have the spoiler on my G35 so the second kit works for me. That thing it like an ironing board on the trunk.

i dont like either. INGS has a nice lip kit for the G35, u should look it up, very clean but its big enough to look aggressive.

btw the cutting of a hole in the bumper idea is terrible. The G35 isnt a civic hatchback, its a little more upscale, so i dont think cutting holes in the bumper is an option. Plus if ur gonna go twin turbo, a twin intercooler setup is more efficient.

who is cutting holes in bumpers?? Also, what are you basing your twin turbo/twin intercooler claim on? I want proof, where are the numbers?

it hasnt been done on a g35, but its been used on audi S4's for years

I have seen where people have cut a 6" x 2" ish gap in the front bumper cover between the two openings for more flow for forced induction cars w/ FMIC's.

Ill look into the INGS body kit. As the for the twinturbo kit Greddy does a great bolt on but ill look into the twin intercooler as well.


White out they do make fornt bumper kits that allow more air flow into the middle intead of the sides

The engines are completely different. Just because a twin IC set-up works on Audi's doensn't mean it will provide max cooling on a G35. The Supra comes with 2 sidemount IC's but most supra guys seem to go with a single frontmount for max cooling, where as my TT 300zx comes with sidemount IC's and actually looses cooling ability and pressure when switched to most frontmounts.

supra is inline six, so a single turbo setup is generally more efficient. On a V6 engine all the extra piping reduces the efficiencey of a single turbo setup, likewise with one intercooler.

So all the GN's running single didget 1/4 mile times with one turbo arn't efficent? There is about 1 TT GN to every 5,000 single turbo GN's. One turbo isn't less efficent.

Nick

ur comparing apples and oranges, those single turbo gn's have turbos bigger than my head, as a turbo gets larger, its effieciency increases. The more turbos u have the more backpressure and heat u get. This dude is not gonna run a Y2K and hes not gonna have 900hp, so in his case, hes gonna want a more pratical setup. Twin turbos produce boost fast in the lower rpms (generally because smaller turbos are utilized while still providing the same boost) so they spool faster. With two smaller turbos a twin intercooler setup is better. Everyone knows the larger the intercooler the more lag, since his turbos are small a large intercooler would only hinder him, so two smaller ones would not only cool more efficiently, but if uve ever seen a g35 bumper it has two vents on each side, viola it fits quite well if u ask me.

You are the one that said a single turbo on a V6 is inefficiant. On most of the twin and single turbo kits for the 350Z they have a large FMIC, not two side mounts.
