    Default Looking for info on my 05 G35 Twin Turbo

    Alright,
    So I found this car at a local mechanic shop in a small BC town where is has been sitting since 2012! It only has 35000 miles! I purchased it for next to nothing as the mechanic wanted to see the car go to a good home and free up a spot for customer parking.
    Mods the car has:
    -Cosworth long block (with a melted piston)
    -JWT 700 turbo kit
    -HKS Fcon with Nismo 480cc injectors
    -Coil overs, looks to be Bilstein
    -Sway bars, Looks to be Stillen
    -AP Racing brakes, 6 piston front, 4 piston rear
    -Staggered 19 3 piece rims.
    -Stillen exhaust

    What I know it is was brought into Canada some time prior to 2008. In 2008 the car went to a shop in Calgary and had the Cosworth engine, HKS Fcon (and possibly the injectors), was tuned and made 440whp (disappointing for the mod list, but expected with small injectors and stock fuel lines). Between 2008 and 2012 the engine suffered catastrophic damage (melted a piston) and ended up in Golden BC sitting in a lot for 10 years until I bought it.

    Part of the deal of the sale to me is the car came with the original engine. To my surprise the short block was fully built with eagle rods and arias pistons. After a quick rebuild and inspection, I have this block, the Cosworth heads (also rebuilt) and the JWT turbos ready to drop in once my other car is out of the garage.

    During its time in the USA, I believe VRT built it as there is a company sticker on a carbon fiber engine cover. I would like to know the history of this car and hoping someone has seen it around.

    Can't offer any info on the car, but that's a cool find. I didn't know cozzy made parts for the VQ motors.

    Yeah 440whp is all youre getting out of those injectors. Given the time period and the HKS FCON, it was most likely tuned by RCTS. If you want to get the most out of it with a modern ecu and fuel setup, bring it to Vex. They should be able to tune the fcon if you put your foot down, but will most likely try and get you into a Haltech which will be much better for the car. If you want to go full retard, you can have the new fuel system set up for E85 as well.

    RCTS did do the tune, Fcon and Cosworth engine. They were a dead end... almost seemed as they didn't want to take claim on a 50k bill that got 440whp.

    I did find on on another forum that the car had a split second fuel/timing controller and could never make more than 400whp.

    Once my other car is done, Ill probably upgrade the ECU and fuel system in this car.

    Did you have a bad experience with a Nissan product? I've never owned one because I've never been a fan of the brand outside of some of their 80's and early 90's stuff.

    Been stranded on the highway in a pathfinder.

    A couple of really shitty Altima’s as rental cars.

    But really I’ll shit on any mark that pushes CVT’s into almost every product they sell. And their cars are hideous overpriced junk.

    Honda is no different

    We need a "Shitting on car brands" mega thread. I have some thoughts for that thread.

    I'm just into clarification so no one ends up with egg (or worse) on their face here.
