  • New G6 Owner!

    Hey everyone, just bought a black 06 G6 GTP 6 speed. Thing is awesome! Love the panoramic sunroof, and damn is the inside big. This is definitely a huge change of pace for me. I am a 240sx guy by trade... lived in japan for 2 1/2 years. I owned an R32 skyline that I rebuilt from the ground up, sold that then fell in love with my 300HP S13. Ended up wrecking that at the track right before I came back to the states... oh well. So I've decided to take another route and pick up something a little more comfortable, but still has a good look to it. By no means am I new to cars, like I said rebuilt a skyline, and did some mods to my S13. Plan on doing just a couple things to the G6 like suspension, rims, system, HIDs, and maybe some other custom stuff. Saw that theres not many mods out there for the motor... intake and exhaust?! Can't believe nothing else has been done! Oh well... here to learn from everyone who has done this before, and add any knowledge I can! I've already installed HID's and a system in my buddies G6 GT... same year. So I know my way a little bit around the car, but like I said, new to the G6! Thanks for the welcome and hope to hear from yall!

                Thanks for the welcomes! Hope the sunroof doesnt mess up! *Knocks on wood* Already have had the sunvisor issue, the steering knock issue, and the interior light issue. Dealership is going to take care of the steering knock... im sure that wont fix it for long by what ive read on here. sunvisor issue, ill have to pick up a new one, but I cant find just the mirror/light setup. Interior lights fixed themselves over night apparently, just have to keep monitoring that. Plan on getting the eibach springs, CAB intake, tinting the tailights, getting headlights, body kit, rims, exhaust and a system. All of this will take a while for sure though!

                    Seafoamed the motor using the awesome how-to on here. No check engine light though! Guess I got lucky... did seem to smooth out the idle on it. My friend with his STI swore by it, so I gave it a shot! Also fixed my key FOB. Got it from the dealer, and the part where the battery is held in by was broken (no soder holding it on). Resoddered that connection, and another little part that had broken off, and BOOM! keyless entry. Dealership is getting me a new one to since that one was broken! Going to the auto hobby shop later today to help my STI friend finish up his suspension, stainless brake lines, pads, and a whole other slew of things.

                    Ordering the arrow overlays on thursday... first mod! Also will probably tint the taillights, and black out the grill. What kind of grill does Bambam have?

                          Debadged a friend and mines G6's yesterday. Ordered my HID's for the lows and fogs (8000k 55w and 3000k 35w respectively) Going for that yellow fog light look. Also ordered the badge overlays for the front, back and steering wheel arrows, as well as LEDs for the map, dome, and license plates.... might be time to start a progression thread.... hmmm....

                              I like your debadge better. The trunk just looks too naked without the emblem.
