Hey guys I just thought I might introduce myself. Im John and I just picked up my 2006 is350 about a week ago. Got it for $29,000 OTD with about 30k miles. I love the car so far but having some trouble using the paddle shifts cause of the lag, any advice? Its stock right now and Im not planing to do much except rims, drop, and maybe a CAI

Heres some pics. Im no photographer...a matter a fact i kinda suck...







And here's some pics of my bro's 350z with Volks te37's on.

hold of on the CAI the car stock intake system is CAI by design. the puddle shifters are the biggest disappointment. The puddle shifters are NOT DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox), instead think of it as a limiter. It limits the highest gear the engine will go to.

Car looks nice. Welcome to the club.
