My right rear wheel was bent inwards and rubbing against something so I couldn't even limp the car to work, both right rims were also destroyed. Luckily I was not hurt and I had a valid CAA membership and got a flatbed to bring my car to a Midas I used to do coop at.

I went to the shop earlier and the price to fix the car was approximately $6'000, I bought the car less than a week ago for $7'900.... BUT since I used to work there and was a very good employee the owner said he can get some used parts which are as good as new and fix the car for $2'000.

Now this brings me to my question:

This is the first RWD car that I have owned so I wanna know which side is it best to have the tires with the most tread on the front or the back?? i.e. in a FWD car you would want the tires with the most tread on the front for better braking and accelerating traction.

Also what kind of traction control/stability control system does the '04 G35 sedan have?? I honestly relied way too much on the computers to keep the car in control so I'm wondering if the car just has a basic slip detection and the throttle control to limit slip as opposed to a stability control system where it brakes individual wheels and prevents the car from sliding sideways.

Thanks in advance for any answers / opinions you guys have!

Like mentioned above, I'd replace both bulbs if one is bad, they change color over time. The Philips bulb should work just fine, just don't buy a D2S, those are for projector headlights.

Your high beam and fog light come from the bottom bulb and they are an H4 halogen bulb. If you have any more questions about factory information for your car, this is an awesome thread to read through, especially the first 2 pages. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...edan-faqs.html

Since it's touch less besides maybe the brushes that clean the wheels.. do you think it's okay? I thought it was the brushes that roll around all over the car that cause damage to the paint. Just wondering because it'd be really convenient lol.


My other question is that.. whenever I go 80+ mph I get bad vibrations all over the car and it only gets steadily worse if I go any faster. Was wondering what might be the problem before I do anything to try to fix it. Wheel balancing needed maybe?


Thanks!
