Mixay Phiakeo I tried making one as informative as I could.

I’m currently on day 3 of doing it at home 😭🫰🏼

Juan Aguirre Nonoroblem that’s what I make these videos for 💪🏻

trinity sweat For sure and everyone skips it because it’s too hard so I figured I would make a video to show it’s more time consuming than hard.

carl broughton Hey Thanks! I have been putting in some work to get it where I want it and I have loads of plans left to do.

LoneReble06 Yea dropping the subframe just adds to the already long job no reason for that for sure.

@@JamesDguy for sure, I knew it could be done with out doing so, if anyone looked underneath they can clearly see all the room there is to drop them in and out

paul ishii Thank you I’m trying to put more time and thought into my editing skills. Hopefully it wasn’t boring to watch

unstablebobgable I love doing these videos I just wish people would start noticing the effort I put into them :/ I appreciate the people like you who actually appreciate what I do.

Rob PhoboS I prefer the less work method so no subframe dropped in this video but it wasn’t too hard to do the headers.

@@JamesDguy I'd prefer not to as well but I think it makes it easier for the long tubes, I'll try without first. But this video is brilliant, it shows exactly what we need to do without fluff! 👍😎👍

@@JamesDguy nearly finished installing the LTH! And yep, I didn't need to drop the engine subframe 👍 Thank you so much again for this video!

Cory Brown For now just shooting for more HP no specific goal as of right now. But once I build the engine and turbo it I am shooting for 700whp but it will be turbo by that time.

Jonathan Ward Thanks I agree

Any videos for HR ? Exhaust shops out here charging me $800

Coda5610 It really does. I think it needs a little less rasp but the test pipes I’m buying should fix that. They have resonators in them and the ones I have don’t have them.

It has 2 resonators built into the manzo cat back but otherwise no. I will be getting resonated Test pipes soon so it will sound even more cleaned up. I too have seen the removing subframe and that's WAY more work than i wanted to do just to upgrade headers. That was my main goal with this video is to help people see you don't have to remove it.

@@JamesDguy thanks man. I have the isr 350z exhaust on mine. The mid pipe is resonated. Has a deep sound and sounds good but not screaming like yours. Maybe i need test pipes or high flow cats. I have headers i haven't installed yet. Where did you get the heat wrap from?

CleanUpOnAisle6 I got everything from eBay I shop eBay for literally everything I’m a eBay fan lol never had issues

Why so Serious? My headlights are smoked lenses and I just did amber inside them I like them now lol Also it’s 100% illegal to tint them here.

@@JamesDguy Exactly what i have 👍 even if it's a light tint it's Illegal that sucks could be here too not sure guess I will found out 😂

Why so Serious? Not everywhere has the same laws but yea my lenses are DOT approved smoked tint but I cracked the cases open then painted the chrome areas yellow to give the lights a amber look while driving yet using stock bulbs. It looks beast and they can’t fuck with me

@@JamesDguy Awesome only tail lights are illegal in Arizona said something about at least one must show red wondering if I put one of those third brake lights that is red if I could get away with it doing brake lights too but that one

Z33 Garage Thanks! I know about the gold tape I have done tests on my hondata with my Honda back in day and the heat wrap worked pretty good compared to heat deflection tape by 3 degrees. I had both and did test with both. They were true cold air intakes went to the bumper & temps were the same on both days and the heat wrap kept it a constant temp inside I believe it was 80 degrees in the pipe using the heat tape and I did 3 pulls from 40-120 it went up to 95. Did the test with header wrap just like the heat deflection tape and the overall temp was 92 after the pulls I’m guessing since it was trapped in it stayed more constant and didn’t wanna go up I even did a few more pulls after it never went up and it was a hott ass day. It has worked well for me in the past only reason I still do it. Might have to re do the test and record it :)

@@JamesDguy I would be interested to see a similar test on the VQ. Ive seen threads on my350 showing temps and they pretty much show the intake just heatsoaks. : / I was thinking of wrapping my momentum performance intake with goldwrap but I like the wrinkle black too much.

Z33 Garage Yea I felt it make a difference in midrange top end and I can tell it’s running more lean I can smell the difference. The tune is next on my list of expensive things to get done lol. I’m a cheap ass so $500-700 is a lot to me lol. But it will 100% get done probably by admin tune or Agn in Texas

@@JamesDguy LOL yeah I am in the same boat. My tune will run around $600 and once I am saving to get headers + tune so I dont blow her up.

Z33 Garage Mine is gonna be a lot more because mine is a 03 auto sedan it can’t use uprev

@@JamesDguy ohhhhhhh noooooooooo!!! Find a old ass Cobb accessport lol

Z33 Garage It’s not able to be done since it’s auto 2003 sedan unless I send the ecu off to nisformance.com. Once I manual swap the G it will be perfectly fine with a uprev tune

Storman Gorman I didn’t have a check engine light after. I have the o2 sensor extensions where the cats go and it didn’t come on after. Getting a tune helps a lot but I never got one.

I feel u bro but it’s better not to cheap out on the headers I have the same problem now I have an exhaust leak on my passenger headers, if it helps u can use a 1/4 deep socket and take the bolts out

David Merrill Yea for sure!

Jose Maldonado Sorry I didn’t have this issue. I’m sorry I didn’t get the best video on the rack I apologize for that. I would say maybe grind down the steering arm but that might be sketchy. If you would have to remove the header and dent it? I didn’t have this issue.

chideco1 I lived in Kansas which the town I was in had a salt mine so Idk how this car wasn’t super super rusted it confuses me.

@@JamesDguy missouri is hit and miss. We get fender rust and maybe one brace on one car or the whole god damn bottom is kill

it will definitely be much more of a challenge as it's all-wheeldrive.

Richard Sharma I have heard this too but I put over 1500 miles on mine so far no bad results. I use 91 octane have a intake spacer with full free flow exhaust and aftermarket intake system. Running the cheap cheap NGK plugs. I’m sure it’s not great to beat on it like I do but I just made a trip from Kansas to texas and back 2 times with no negative side effects. It’s been running great! I strongly recommends tune though. The 2003 auto g35 can’t be dyno tuned only a basemap mail order reflash so that’s why I haven’t done mine yet

Moore Motorsports James Dguy thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it man. I do get on my car probably 40% out of 100% of my driving because it’s a 6 speed manual and it’s just so zippy, also this is my weekend car it is not driven daily and only has about 65,000 miles. But it would make me nervous as hell to run something that is a mystery in itself hurting such a young and capable car. Thank you for clearing this up for me!

The only thing its going to affect that you have to be aware of is needing to bleed the system of air after you get ever zipped back up.

yes. The engine is the exact same from those two years.

German muscle Thanks I tried making it enjoyable to watch and informative.

I enjoyed it and I love the way the car sounds as well 🔥🔥 also thanks for the sub💪

German muscle No problem I’m not the typical douche KZfaqr I like to interact with my fans/audience 💪🏻

ps. great video. made it look super easy. thanks!

need_money_for_internet I was a goof lol I marked the wrong spot but the lower section needs marked

David Merrill spray a fluid penetrant and let it soak in then you should be able to slowly budge it free. Hope that made sense i suck at explaining stuff

@@JamesDguy I finally got it off. The next problem is. My Megan headers sit a paper thickness from the steering shaft. Is that to close and how close were yours. Thanks for the responses!!!

David Merrill how did you get them off I’m still struggling with mine?

@@tabshaikh7646 had to take a screwdriver and bend were it claps on the shaft and some lube. Had to pull real hard to get it off the first time. Rusted on a little. Now it's no problem getting off

David Merrill okay thanks

??

?

Rafagas need a tune???

you don't need a tune but it'll run lean/rich depending of how your car takes the modifications

Lmfao you asked for help ASAP and it’s been a year and nobody helped you lmao. Did you fix it?

Jason Cono Never messes with a/c it wasn’t in the way that affected me any.

Moore Motorsports James Dguy now is this different from the 350Z trying to unconfuse my self haha because this video gives me more confidence to do it myself! Just trying to see about the ac part or maybe it’s because this is a g35? Idk haha

Daniel Ramirez The method should be the same for most VQ setups

Fiy ur gonna have to mangle the driver's side a little bit

Yup its on the 03

Rawrster I believe they were Megan racing

freeyourmind88 Megan racing

They tend to have clearance issues with the steering rack. If that’s the case you’ll have to hammer the header in. Won’t hinder the performance.

I do not but they are cheap ones from eBay.

jason rodriguez Sorry the lower area not the area I did. But we ended up just straightening the wheels then re installed accordingly to where the steering wheel was straight when we tightened it back down so mark isn’t required it just helps.

David Smith These were cheap eBay Megan raging or something they worked good though. Sold the car and they are still on it and the guy keeps in contact
