Grocery Getter :: 2006 Infiniti fx35 awd

Such a tight ride.....Anything with TC6 parts on it has to be above and beyond =) "Grocery getter", love the name.....
 
Nice ride, what if any performance and sound difference did the spacer give you?

I take it you're referring to the Motodyne Plenum spacer, it's the best bang for the buck. Performance is def there and many forum members can confirm. Sound wise seems the same to me, then again I usually drive like a granny. I have no regrets on the plenum mod, it also ties in well with a better intake system.

clean as always Soon.

thanks sujit, how your FX treating you (last I heard, u still driving it)?
 
Hey Soonster. Was wondering what you used to overlay the reflectors in your headlight?

3 layers of Avery translucent silver vinyl. During day, it looks sliver'ish, by night the amber bulb glows thru. Sadly, the reflective part is muted. The price of looking different. :ninja:
 
Thanks for the vinyl tip... I need to remember that when I paint the headlights in the future.

You say you have a cargo organizer. Do you have sub or magic box in the cargo area?

I have no aftermarket sub, just the OEM bose trunk plastic bass blaster :tongue (2):. Here are some pics of my gen2 cargo organizer.

Spent 4hrs preparing / applying "b-quiet ultimate" damping material to the front passenger door. Added a good amount of weight and fingers are f@#$ked :ninja:.

Noticed the door already have a few pieces of factory damping materials. On this first pic, the center small shiny square is what I started with:

Laid out more to cover the the bigger exposed areas.

Reassembled and spread some more sheets. Big thanks to turbocad for the advices and help. Still got 3 more doors to go (should take less time now that I know the process) ....

Very nice. When you close the door, do you get that nice, solid thump? Does it help isolate or muffle minor vibrations in the door panels too? Any plans do to the under the headliner? I've been thinking of doing this too.

1. the sound of door closing seems the same, but the weight is definitely there
2. my muffler is OEM , didnt make any difference since it's only 1 door done at this point
3. no, wont be touching the headliner, that would be a huge job and would be nice
4. you should, since it'll pay in the longer run and cures the MOD bug :smile (2):
 
Just wondering if you felt any performance improvements with the z tube and stock box with a k&n drop in. Thinking about doing the whole stillen cai, z tube and plenum spacer. Just getting as much info on the results as i can.
 
I did the k&n flat filter and ztube first, performance was a slight improvement. Then ~1 yr after, done the motordyne install and 2+ advance timing and that was a huge noticeable difference. All the different mods ties in well and in low budget.

If I was in your shoes; DO ALL on your list ,reset the ECU and you'll have a nice smile.
