hey guys little intro about me..
parents from kerala(changancherry and kaloor)..just visited out there a few weeks ago..didnt know India a a car scene..guess lots have changed since I last came which was 97...well I went to R&D catalyst in kottayam and met sam..great work him and his team do..then found out about this site.

i drive a modded inifniti LHD g35 aka skyline 350gt...its an 03 but modded with 06 components..strictly a show car..take it shows all over the US and has made plenty of publicity in magazines etc..

was wondering how is the car show scene in India..meaning do they have car shows for modded cars not only exotic and luxury cars..what I would like to do i ship my car out there to enter a car show and show what we have to offer from the import scene in the US..is it worth it I dont know..what is the cost for shipping and will customs allow me to bring my car and then take it back after a few days...well anyway I just wanted to say HI and proud to be a fellow tuner

Nice ride. How about starting a new thread with all the stage by stage modifications and some close up shots.
BTW whats that in the boot in the last pic??

04gwhiz · 20th April 2010, 19:38

stage by stage mods..well that will take some time..I will work on it..more pics..well I have to go thru my pc but I will find some..

in the trunk I have 4 amps, 3 subwoofers, led lighting, TV on trunk lid with speakers, I also have strobe lights in the trunk

akshaymahajan · 20th April 2010, 22:14

hmmm... Interesting. So it must be giving you a mileage of like 4-5 mpg with all the load in the boot.

As you mentioned in the first post, its only a show car So does it have any under the hood modifications?

04gwhiz · 20th April 2010, 22:39

yeah mileage is not that great..probably close 10 12mpg or 14 hahaha..yeah custom intake manifold, new pulleys, CAI, msd ignition, single 9psi turbo..

04gwhiz,

Welcome aboard.

I suggest you start a new thread to discuss your car (in the ownerships section or modifications section - whichever is apt) as this Intro thread will automatically lock in a few weeks.
