Any problems with G35?

Hi, I presently own a 2002 WRX sedan and I decided to calm myself down and get something that is more "low profile", comfortable, long-term reliable and that has more class while still having decent performance. So I'm thinking of a G35 coupe but I'd like to know more about the problems that car may have.

First, I've read many posts saying that the G35 is very reliable and that it's a very good car. Then, I found some posts about tire feathering wich seems to be a serious pain in the a**. Is there any other issues like that I sould be aware of or is it the only big problem with the G35?

My current G is my second Nissan/Infiniti product in the past 5 years or so. I don't think they're any worse than Honda or Toyota, just my personal experience. I haven't had any major problems with this or my old Maxima. Some have had issues, but you get that with any manufacturer these days. Good luck.

tire feathering is due to the negative camber that the g has. it was tuned as a track car and not all us g owners go to teh track everyday. The only problem with the g so far is that you cant stop loving to drive it and modding it...

Sorry if I'm a little pessimistic there but did anyone here tried a less agressive camber and did it really solved the problem? I know negative cambering cause feathering but what if there's another cause?
