major differences in years of G35 coupes
im still looking to buy a used G35 coupe. I wanted to know what, if any, differences there are between 03,04,05. I probably am going to be looking for an 03, or an 04 max (bc of my budget), so i wanted to know what i should look for.
Do the brembo brakes come standard in 04 or are they an option?
Im not too familiar with the car yet, but all i know is that im definately going to get it. Im located in NY by they way, so if anyone has one for sale, let me know!
thanks

what should i specifically look for though when buying? i know someone told me the brakes are horrible so would you say the brembo's are a good choice to go with?

i dont agree at all... i couldnt really afford a low mileage 05 so I went with an 04. yes the interior isnt quite as nice.. but still a really nice car.
As for the brakes... I have a AT and the brakes are great... theres only one problem with the G's brakes. They wear out extremely quick... like the front ones had to be replaced at 13k on my car. After the brake warranty is up im going to go with an aftermarket solution

Correct me if I 'm wrong but the 03-04 6mt's had brembos as an option, right? I vaguely remember seeing a 6mt with normal brakes when I purchased my car in April of 03. You could get a 6mt with out the sport wheel and brake package.**Never mind...I just checked ebay and all 03 and 04 6mt's had brembos**
BTW, the brakes really depend on how you drive. I just changed my pads last week after 3 plus years and 30k miles and I have the Brembos. The pads cost 85 plus 15 shipping for Axxis and it only took 1-2 hours to change all four corner. Some have had to change theirs after 12 to 15k. Again it is how you drive.
My advice is to get the 04 with brembos. They are great for the price. You can always add on with the extra cash!
