    Welcome back! Check the rest of the fluids...transmission, diff, brake fluid power steering fluid, coolant, etc.

    As far as mods, an intake will wake it up and give you some more engine noise. Sway bars help Gs alot.

    Welcome.

    How about a new set of wheels/tires to personalize it to your style?

    Yeah prolly time for a coolant flush and transmission / diff service. For mods a good intake is good bang for the buck. And the intake tube from the 350z swaps over to eliminate that huge baffle that the G comes with.

    Lower that puppy on throw on some aftermarket wheels. That's the route I would go.

    Drop, sways, wheels/tires, intake, exhaust. That would be the order Id do them in.

    my fav 3 mods for the g35:

    sways - huge improvement in handling
    06-07 headlights - huge improvement in light output plus they look great
    plenum spacer - best bang for the buck power improvement

    but it really depends what you're looking for - style? performance? handling? entertainment?

    Welcome!

    #1 suggestion I haven't heard yet...

    keep your windows down! you'll always be turning heads!

    and, what the guys said....

    If you haven't changed your belts yet, you need to get that done.

    As for mods, I would start with the rims/wheels, then dropping your suspension to get that agressive look. You'll kill everyone when you drive up.

    You already had me at "Advice on Mods"

    My intuition is that your going to get ALOT of help around here. Everyone is great.

    Good luck!

    aam or motordyne 5/16

    either aam or motordyne 5/16 would do you fine on the spacer. no need for the 1/2".

    should be around $225-$250. Or you can find some used ones for cheaper...

    Z1 motorsports has their house brand plenum. I use one, it being one of the more noticeable modes. A decent mod for around 100 bucks is stainless steel brake lines. They will get you a firmer brake pedal.

    +1 for motordynes 5/16 - most popular spacer. z-tube and a k&n drop in filter are a nice cheap mod as well. you can spend a little more for the jwt popcharger.
