Nice ride! The G35/350Z is a pretty popular choice for secondary cars and guys leaving the family. Looks great!

Nice! My friend just got one too and what a coincidence it's the same color although he opted for the automaitic instead of stick.

thanks for pos. replies.
i've been trying to practice driving this car, but the clutch is so damn stiff.
i can't wait till i get good at it and drive it like a regular car, cuz i look like a student driver rite now. ha ha.

the brembos come in the premium package along with the bose system.
i duno how many pistons the brembos are tho. i remember it saying 4 or something.

i've looked at the clubg35.com but i dont think i wanna join. maybe i'll just breeze thru, cuz if i join, i'd wanna do many things to my car that i dont have the money for yet.


rite now i'm just working on refurbishing my sc300. hopefully, i'll have enuf money left over to get my LE-37's.

Congrats. Synchro's on 1st to 2nd often sticky to start, but be GENTLE with it and do slow shifts for a while (1000 mi. at least).

Matching revs is a good thing too for smooth shifts.

congrats, dude. i have never seen that color before. and damn i like it. the older lighter blue was kinda ghey. and the brembos only come with the 6 sp. as for the clutch, itll get better with time. but you gotta love being able to "row" through the gears. have fun and try to obey the break-in period.......i wasnt able to. oh and try www.6mt.net , www.g35driver.com , and even www.my350z.com has a G35 forum.

2nd gear is really frustrating still...cuz i kno i can drive stick, but i duno why i jerk on 2nd, then i figured it wasn't me cuz my dad drives a stick, and he even said 2nd is a Bizznitch to get out of on this car.

i was trying to obey the break in rule but my dad revvvved it and kept questioning the 2nd also.

well i gotta wait till 1am to practice.

DGOT20's, 20" is too big for me, but i'm going for the 18" Volks staggered setup hopefully real soon.

Do any of ur G35 kinda vibrate on neutral? Mine kinda does.

i would love to own one of these coupes.. it has a classic design,beautiful lines,aggressive stance,and commands attention like the sc still does...timeless exterior imo!
it also has plenty of room for mods- i personally would revamp the whole interior to my liking tho', maybe do an sc style dashboard as a beginning,led lighting in the interior..you know me,custom all the way!!!
sexy ride
