Erik M is a new customer at Z Car Garage and hails from the East Bay. He was also a Datsun Roadster owner at one point so that makes him extra cool in our book. With 100k miles on the clock of his G35 coupe he felt that the ride was getting very rough, especially over irregular surfaces. Erik wanted to refresh the suspension without lowering the car…we happily obliged and added a few more performance mods to the mix…
To strike a balance between ride control and stock height we installed Koni shocks with new OEM springs and Hotchkis sway bars f/r:
Sway bars:
A Bassani exhaust system is the perfect companion to the VQ’s melodious exhaust note…and it makes noticeable power gains. Below is the stock vs true-dual exhaust system:
Onto the engine….a JWT Pop charger, Z-tube and Motordyne plenum spacer complete the breathing improvements. New spark plugs were also installed:
Finally, we installed a JWT heavy duty clutch and flywheel and bled the brakes with ST600 fluid.
Rob UPREV tuned the G for final output of 266hp/246tq to the wheels. Great improvements in power and ride quality for this 100k mile Infiniti!
