To properly put down all of this power, more work had to be done to other parts of the car. Starting with the transmission, the factory clutch and flywheel were replaced by ACT units. The six-speed transmission received a B&M short shifter. The brakes also had to be upgraded in order to stop all of this engine power. The stock Brembo brakes were retained but the rotors were changed for two-piece Project Mu rotors in the front and one-piece equivalents in the back. APR mentions that they could possibly upgrade to a big brake kit at some point in the future. The current brakes are harnessed inside a set of custon 20" Maya MRS wheels with a black face and a red lip. The widebody permits these wheels to be wrapped with Pirelli PZero Nero 285/25/20 tires up front and 325/25/20 tires in the back. The wheels in the back carry 5" of lip, but a possible upgrade is in the works for a lower offset pair of rear wheels with even more lip. Unlike it's APR predecessors, this G35 was built as a mean street car as opposed to a full race car. Hence why the suspension carries a set of TEIN Comfort Sport coilovers with a set of Hotchkis swaybars. KC Chow, reponsible for the build of the car, mentioned that the ride comfort suits the goal of the car perfectly.
The interior was kept simple with the addition of front reclineable Recaro Speed seats, Razo trim such as pedals and shift knob, as well as a Nardi steering wheel mounted on a Works Bell quick release hub. There is also the addition of the TEIN EDFC and HKS EVC boost controller units to the dashboard. The stock dash trim has been replaced with a fiberglass mounting pod for a set of Autometer Nexus gauges (oil temp/pressure and boost). To boost up the stock stereo system, APR referred to Pioneer Electronics who provided their top of the line AVH-P6800DVD double-DIN head unit with a six-disc in dash DVD changer, 7-inch touch screen and XM/MP3/iPod control. Their 6.75 inch component speakers put out 260 watts of power with a 12-inch subwoofer blasting through a two-channel amplifier.
This G35 is by no means a race car, which is what APR is notorious for. However, no car at any traffic light will be able to match the class, power, or sound of this G35. Even the sports cars with their six-digit price tags will be forced to look and think twice before even trying to compare to APRs finest build yet.
