Mark’s Widebody G35

Filed under: Featured Cars and Projects,Performance
by Alvin G @ 12:18 pm on

Before the 350z and G35 became incredibly popular import hot rods Rob built a very special sportscar with owner John N. back in 2005. They Vortech supercharged a G35 coupe to the tune of 500whp with nitrous intercooler-spray along with plenty of bolt-ons. The car was even featured in SportCompactCar magazine, here is what it looked like then:

From 2006-2007 John wanted to go all out in terms of performance and looks so ZCG proceeded to transform the G starting with a APS Extreme Twin-Turbo kit on a fully-built 4.1L stroker motor:


The interior got an extensive roll-cage that was both safe and allowed back seat access. Bride seats and a custom gauge pod stand out in otherwise factory-luxurious interior:

Footwork was immense, consisting of Stoptech 14″ brakes both front and rear(355mm), Tein-Flex coil-overs, and ludicrously wide custom HRE wheels with 345-width tires in back.


Although the tuning scene was very differnt 6 years ago, practically every aftermaket part available at the time was included in the build. The engine wasn’t fully tuned to experience all of its glory but the G was thoroughly enjoyed after it left the shop.
Fast forward to 2012 when current owner Mark L. called ZCG and described a certain widebody G35 for sale! Rob immediately knew the car, an appointment was made and work began where they left off to
complete that last 10% to make this widebody a street sweeper. Rob UPREV tuned with the factory ECU instead of Hydranemesis standalone originally on the car and made some incredible gains:

Before:   481hp/482tq

After:     556hp/566tq

Thanks for letting us finish an awesome car Mark, enjoy the ride!
