Thank you, I have some ARC parts to add yet I hope that dresses it up a bit.

BigC I was at the gas station before these pictures were taken and some lady totally mouthed me off about how the car was to low and I shouldn't drive it like that . I think she might have been drunk or high, but she started talking about the car then it turned into a rant that the car was to low for the roads where we live and I was going to lose my front bumper if I hit a pot hole.

It was weird and caught me off guard where I live there are not many G35s and rarely are they modified so I am used of lots of questions. It started normal a few questions and by the end she seemed to be agitated that I drive my car so low she drives a big lifted truck so She might be a hillbilly anyway I just walked away when I was done filling the car up, I had a friend with me he thought it was hilarious that some lady got mad about how I mod my car

^ nice brandon, simple is the way to go. I tried to go that route but my engine bay is too old and beat up. I had to bust out the rattle can lol.


Sylvan - i think your engine bay is my favorite on this thread, showroom quality without going cartoonishly over the top. love the gold you used on the engine bay wall, Props!

Been working to clean up the front of my motor for a while now, finally done with this round of mods to my 05 G Sedan:

Koyo V-Core 36mm Aluminum Racing Radiator (for the 350z)
Forged racing slim fan shroud - polished
Earl's Transmission Cooler w/ custom RRDYE bracket, braided hoses and AN fittings
Polished Thermostat
Polished Unorthodox Racing Idler Pulley
Polished Unorthodox Racing Alternator Pulley
Modified, welded and Chrome coolant pipes (driver/passenger sides - deleted coolant hose that runs across the timing cover)
Various braided hoses and polished clamps
PCV valve converted to AN fitting
A couple more polished bolts

HUGE thanks to all who helped: RRYDE, OH6 G35, Dave's Garage, bigc, Marty_G, and sammy_G
