Im gonna buy the car of my dreams finally, probably from a private, any tips or advice what to look for when inspecting and driving the car? itll be 6mt

 

analyze

 

not an 06

 

Get A Bill Of Sale!!!!

 

Put money away for tires.

 

im going to change tires frequently? every year or what?

 

no. Probably close to 2years. depends on your driving style and how many miles you put on a year.

Just go and test drive the G35 and make sure to get 6MT

 

oh i see, i drive pretty aggresive so i dont know, lol and ive driven one before the 6mt and i love it, ive driven m3 and i still like the g35 for some reason.

 

SAVE... this car is gonna give you the mod bug. 04-03 gets you the brembros and a cassette player 05+ gets you the rev-up (6mt= 298hp)engine and newer re-defined interior with the optional 19'' forged rays wheels. 06-07 gets you the projector headlights and "bubly" tail lights and what the 05 has. 05-07 have no cassette players... sorry

GL with your decision

 

oh thanks for the info. is it possible to put brembos on the 05 g35s?

 

You could add anything you want aftermarker-wise. But it all cost a lot. Hence, the save part.

 

First of all find a clean low mileage car and do a background check on the
vin number. You don't want a car that's been crashed! I'd go with an '04/'05
they seem to have less issues, like oil consumption on the '06/'07. Make sure
you drive the car and check out things like clutch, ask the seller what kind
of oil they've been using (it alway helps to know) GOOD LUCK!

 

I am in the same boat here! So what is the defects to look out for?


And what makes the big difference in power between 04s-05s?

 

Rear axle creek, clicking when moving from dead stop Forward or reverse from rear susp. Power difference is 18HP. Clutch is a big thing to check, make sur eit doesnt release to high or slip etc.

 

There is a big difference in HP from 03 to 08 but not much improvement in performance. No real issues unless you get a non-Brembo 03-04. The brakes were recalled and replaced or warranty extended if I remember right.
