Ok fellas. Newbie here (Im new to the site, Do NOT own a G) Im looking to trade my 07 loaded maxima for an 07 g35 coupe. Ive been wanting one for a while now and my only concern is the wearing of brakes and tires every 15-20k. Sooooo......is this typically true and can you install a camber kit on a stock G to correct the tire wear issues

Thanks fellas and all comments are welcome!!

 

A stock G shouldn't have that much of a tire issue. A camber kit should not be required. Get an alignment. Tire life also depends on driving habits. My brakes last for about 20-25K but I use them hard on the weekends.

 

IMO ,Im pretty sure you can do thAt..but i may be wrong!
Good luck finding that 07 coupe & Welcome!

 

Well I found the one I want at a dealer.........just dont know if I wanna get rid of my Max for a potential "maintenance Monster"


Here is the one im looking at! It does have new tires !!!

Thanks

 

my rear brake pads from the dealer lasted 6 months!...im on some fully ceramic now.. and about the tires, they are doing fine, i do little burnouts from time to time. they hold good!

 

BUMP

 

I have an 05, and its never ever broke down, only thing "needing" replacement was brakes at about 25K miles, thats about a 500 dollar job.

Really, it will be a little more work then your maxima, but only if you drive it harder (which you will ) Just when you buy the car, do some quick maintenance right away such as make sure you have fresh oil, possibly new tranny fluid, and differential fluid. Your coolant should be fine till beggining of 2012 (so don't worry, world will end then lol)

 

Whats the story of your tire history Danielj???

Thanks man for the advice!!

 

You're not a NEWBIE until you have a G parked in your garage! We don't have tire issues unless you buy cheap tires and don't get your G aligned. Maintance on our Infiniti's isn't any different than on your Nissan. If you're smart you won't go to the Infiniti dealership for service, Nissan charges less and their mechanics are better trained. Nuff said!

That dealership needs to hire a new photographer.

 

agreed putz!! And Gary I am a newbie to the SITE! And registered hoping i can find some valuable info. (which I have) prior to my purchase. Sorry for the mis-interpretation

As always.....i greatly appreciate all helpful comments to this post. I plan to go check out this G tomorrow. If I do I will keep this updated.


Thanks again!!

 

I've got an 08 Maxima and 04 G35 coupe.

Maintenance is pretty much the same on both, similar tire size, engine, etc.

If you don't need a sedan, I'd do the trade!

 

Nice garage^^

 

Nice Max bro.....here is mine. Its an 07 SE with premium platinum package!






Ill tell ya...........ive seen several youtube vids. where the maximas are beating the G's and if not beating them they dont lose by much?????........WTF

 

^Don't know about the maximas, but the altimas are lighter and FWD, I'm assuming less power loss to the wheels.
