Find a young guy who recently has graduated tech school or a family friend to do your bushings. It is a LOT of work, but absolutely do it. Highly recommend checking that diff bushing too.
Ever wonder why companies like Philips and OSRAM don't make 8K bulbs? They have bad output - period. 6k or less for output blue looks, and 4300 Kelvin for best output.
Your G is lucky to have you lol.
Haha. Thanks man. Have you finished your bushing work? I can only imagine how tight the car must drive with new bushings.
I'm in Frederick (Urbana) and got my headers probably 11-12 years ago. If you're thinking about getting them, don't, they do next to nothing on this car. Perhaps with a tune and hi flow cats/exhaust they might make some power, but the oem manifold has "shorty" headers on it already that leads to similar performance. In fact, compared to even my ISF the stock G headers are more like real headers where even the ISF has more of an exhaust manifold. Same with my old Acura CLS--both these cars had exhaust manifolds and both respond very well to headers, the G does not bc it's already pretty good off the shelf.
You in the Villages? We're practically neighbors. I'm over by Centerville.
Haha. Yeah. I'm on Shawfield. I'm pretty positive I've seen your car before. Let me know if there are any meets in the future--would be good to catch up.
Wetsanded and buffed
And did a flow coat on the rims :]
Weird looking G35...
Ha just kidding love the G that's a beautiful color.

It drives very well. There is no noises or squeaks/pops as people said there would be. Alignment is on point too, can keep on line up to a mile without touching the wheel lol.
Diff bushing replacement saved that horrible 2-3 shift everyone has, its quiet as a mouse and smooth now on shift at high load.
got a rare piece in today. uras front lip. lol its made for the non sport bumper so im gunna have some fun trying to custom fit it to my sport. never worked with fiberglass before but how hard can it be.
^^^^^Ah, memories of a stock exhaust sound! It's been a LONG time since I've had a stock exhaust...
That exhaust note, the 6spd, the LSD, the Brembos, the Pilot Sports, the extensive use of aluminum, the LEDs, the overall look of the car. This car started the entire coupe revival and everyone jumped onboard. Before he G came out I bought an Acura CL Type S, a car the soundly beat the BMW 328 head to head. Literally the second the G came out, I was just biding my time until getting the G. It was EVERYTHING the CLS was not (well, almost everything, the CLS did have a great engine that responded very well to mods and super comfy seats!), and everything that I was looking for.
When I was looking for my G, I found one in NJ from a lady that had purchased it for her fiancé and then they split. It had 1800 miles on it. and NO spoiler, which was huge for me--I never much cared for the ironing board. She had an auto G and couldn't even drive the manual. I helped her and walked her through the entire process of selling it and with the significant money that I saved on the car, I hired the limo driver from our wedding and my new wife and I got breakfast and limo'd up to the Infiniti dealership in NJ where she was waiting, fresh after getting her first oil change and detail. Damn near perfect buying experience.
I think the NSX was probably the biggest revolution in my time, but the G isn't far behind in terms of what it did to the market. Still undoubtedly one of the best looking cars on the road. I still get compliments ALL the time, many of which come from people that have NO idea that my car is 13 years old! Cheers to the G!
Yep, I bet he's either cut his fenders of they separated after rolling. The smooth fender edge won't cut a tire like that. Ask me how I know.
I took a pretty rough bounce and it's like the tire bent the rolled part of the fender back out. Then after that kept bouncing and basically stabbing the tire..
Despite popular love for my boso tip exhaust, I'm going to put my quad tips back on as my tips now attract attention from the police. Dropped the rear a couple inches the other day.
