2 rules for parking an MT that everyone learns or should learn immediatly are you set the parking brake and you put it in gear when parked.
no professional installer would ever put a remote start on an MT. The liability would be huge

Dark colored G35s are a PIA to keep clean, it doesn't matter if it's OB or TB they get dusty easily. Never wash a car in the sun or when it's hot that will keep you from having water spots. Invest in a CA. Duster, they're only $10 at Target....follow the directions to the letter! If you have a garage that will help keep your car much cleaner and cooler. I have two dusters, one for each hand....
and two synthetic chamois!

Always liked black cars, never owned one until the G. For me black was a must when I set out to buy one. It's the only color for these cars IMO, they don't look right to me in other colors.
Notice I said IMO and to me. Personal opinion don't flame.
That being said, what a PIA black is. Dust covers it driving around the block, washing it in the sun leaves water spots etched in faster than you can dry it and what a freakin hotbox this car is, even with 20% tint all around.
It has been hovering just over and just under 100 here for the past week and the car is a sauna. takes a good 10 or 15 minutes to cool it down to comfortable with the ac maxed and a quick 5 minute park and dash into a store come back out and it's already baking inside again.
Oye never again.

I love black
Never wash in direct sunlight!! Black can get to as hot as 200 degrees in direct sunlight.
I leave my car in direct sunlight when I go to school and when I get back its hot but open all the windows AC on high and its cool within minutes. Its not as bad as I thought it would be.

Yeah I figured that out. After I even waxed it with meguires cleaner wax I can still see the outlines of the spots. Gonna have to go with a polishing compound to make it right.

I've had plenty of remote starts with a MT... just when its installed the wire for the clutch engagement is disengaged. The car will move in gear but from what i know it stalls out because the cultch is out not in... Its perfectly fine as long as you don't leave it in gear and put the e-brake on.
Story about remote start if you care: So me and my buddy are working on my S14...I'm trying to bolt my downpipe up to my exhaust. I'm under the car and have the from part of the car on jacks. I leave my keys next to a seat in the garage and my friends wife comes out with his 14 month old daughter and she lets her walk around. She picks up my keys and hits the start button(which you have to press twice/hard by the way) and i hear the car click and start to turn over...i shot out from under that car so ****ing quick...thank god it was in neutral or i wouldn't be typing this now...
