2005 g35 coupe 6mt

right now it's got a z tube, k&n drop in filter, hks exhaust, mrev2, 1/2" plenum spacer, bc racing coilovers, and hotchkis sways.



STS says it's going to take 7-14 days for my shop to receive my kit. Z car garage in SJ will be doing all the work. i'm so excited!

Incase anyone is wondering what would happen if you ran over a raccoon with the sts kit on....it only rips the f***king front bumper off. The oil pump, oil lines, and turbo were fine.

The only visible damage is to my bumper. I am hoping when I get my car aligned tomorrow no more damage pops up from the suspension. I just now got the right size rims and tires

I know you spend most of your time on the lower gears so have you though about adding an EBC? This will help you hit full boost on 1st/2nd. Unless you are already hitting 8psi on 1st and traction is already a problem.

I'm running a MBC....works well. I couldn't get a EBC to work right and gave up after 2 weeks of trying and went manual.

Which EBC did you use, and what kind of issues were you having?

Is your boost consistent w/ a MBC and the temps being high?

Off topic a bit but about heat with this kit:

I have been running my car hard for the last 2 weeks and I have yet to see my temperatures rise above normal even for NA. My oil temp climbs to 210F in 90-100 degree heat.
