$25000 To Spend On Mods - How Far Will That Get Me?

[iamhe77]

For more obscure platforms like the V35/350Z/M35 the answer isn't clear. Hence I made this thread. After I canvassed all the options, maybe I can get a better idea of where I like to go. Speaking of which - I just got a quote for $18500 for a complete drive in drive out custom twin turbo package on the V35/350Z. Of course the engine/trans might grenade at 300rwkw - properly done this looks like one needs to spend roughly $35000 (turbo+engine rebuild+ trans).

What about a M35 Stagea? Its the only VQ turbo - no need for a complete custom turbo package....need an intercooler kit, maybe bigger turbo, and fuel system - might be able to DIY this one.

Maybe you should look at what the Yanks have been doing with 350Z/G35's if you are looking at throwing money at a V35.

Of note, I have a mate that is looking to sell his complete V35 HKS kit which would suit (also includes injectors, electronics, exhaust etc).

Just throw some stronger internals at the VQ35, up the boost and tune.

Then spend whatever is left on handling/stopping the V, maybe some cosmetics of your liking and the rest on other parts of your life (or save it).

Just 'cos you have it, doesn't mean you need to spend it!

What are you wanting to achieve? Power, handling, traction etc? With $25,000 I think you can get some nice rims and then spend the rest up grading your suspension and tasteful engine mods to cap it all off. $25,000 is a good amount but it's not a whole lot to achieve everything in one hit.
