Replacing the spark plugs was not all that hard in this vehicle. I had to remove the intake and the engine cover to have access to everything. Wobble joints along with long extensions make a big difference (proper tools always make difference in any job). I labeled each wire with what cylinder it came from and even snapped a valve cover bolt (edit: coil pack bolt) due to torquing it to much. I was able to remove it easily with a pick took and my fingers since it was had no tension and pick up a replacement from lowes. I think the whole process with breaks took no more than 2-2.5 hours. It really was not that hard to do or time consuming. The easiest spark plug swap was on my old acura vigor with inline 5 cylinder and had extremely easy access to the plugs with nothing to remove in the way at all.

edit: not valve cover bolt but coil pack bolt.

 

Yea you make a good point, proper tools are definitely a must. Our extension was definitely way too short so we had no leverage at all. On top of that my clumsy friend kept dropping tools and parts into the engine bay and we had to go fish them out with no magnet or pick up tool....

My Honda CR-V took no more than 20 minutes to do the spark plug change haha.

 

That it has ruined me. I used to live a balanced life, have cash in the bank, chase girls...now spend my weekends racing around, work overtime so I can afford more power and I now instead of chasing women I refer to the rear of cars as their A$$.

 

I hate the fact that the sunroof doesn't close with the outside roll up feature.

You're kidding right

 

This button works better than creating numerous posts back to back.
BTW, these cars are kind of on the slow side

 

There is a module you can buy so that it will close and open with your fob. Also a module that will tilt your mirrors when you put your car into reverse.

 

1st to 2nd gear

 

Link? Also, I thought the fob only rolls down the windows? Edjumekate me.

So here is my detailed list of pros and cons. I don't like the blame game so I thought I would even out the playing field with some pros since I love my car SO MUCH at the end of the day! Now don't get me wrong almost every single con can be fixed.

PROS:

• Infiniti seemed to have fixed some annoying things in 2005
• After 125,000 Miles the leather hasn't ripped or torn anywhere yet and I'm the forth owner of the car
• Very spacious for a coupe
• The leather shift boot on the AT
• EXHAUST NOTE!
• Very fun to drive
• Girls always stare
• Averaging 18 MPG isn't to bad with my heavy foot
• OEM 19" Rays
• Sporty looking
• In my opinion the coupe looks a lot better with that wing.
• Pretty nice ride height
• It is an INFINITI

CONS:

• Dipstick is in the stupidest location on a car that burns oil and is hard to get out of the hole without knocking all the oil off of it
• The beige sunroof liner that stands out very much
• Nothing fits in the trunk but its a coupe so who cares
• Whole radio assmebly sucks ***. And it's expensive to get an aftermarket dash kit
• Bose system isn't impressive at all
• Gas mileage could be a little better
• Spark plugs are hard as hell to get to
• Coupe should have 300 HP manual and auto.
• A 6th gear on the auto would be really helpful
• The plastic creeks when I come off my driveway but I don't really hear it after that
• Mirrors could be a little bigger
• For a 40K price tag every G35 should have gotten navi
• The negative camber in the rear helps my expensive sport tires wear on the inside

 

Idk where you are but over here G35s (especially stock ones) don't turn heads at all.
