77-k roughly...its didnt seem too dark, Nissan/Infiniti uses ATF fluid for the power steering and it came out a nice red like it should. I used Redline Synthetic ATF and made some huge messes when refilling the system. Refilling is somewhat time consuming and delicate, you just have to take your time and let gravity works its magic, turning the wheel lock to lock until it just levels off. If you overfill, it will pump it out, trust me I know.

I will do one eventually, but probably not until next year as I suspect I will be due for a clutch next year as well and will probably just do that and some other trans parts at the same time. They are pretty straight forward, put it on and then bleed the system.

Hey Everybody!

I am new to G35Driver.com and as well a new owner of a very sporty/luxurious '07 G35X, im excited about the new 20% tints I just put on..and as you can see from my garage..it came with an extremely hot aftermarket mesh grille.. Though I have a few questions about modd'ing the (Clearance {Parking} Light )[s], (Reverse {Back up} Lights)[s] and the License Plate lights from the stock amber OEM to an aftermarket superwhite or crystal blue LED. Any suggestions or reccomendations?????

Installed an OEM HR Y-Pipe. Arguably the best bang for the buck mod. $120 well spent.

Ps. who ever invented PB Blaster is the F’ing man.

welcome & nice ride btw! alright, your cars black. i dont care for chrome but maybe get the grille and inserts and go with black chrome! it looks really good esp on the black G’s and as far as the 07s go im not sure what your sizes are. check the DIY lights section - some of the posts there will be of better help. if you like the black look and consider the grille, go head and paint the head light/tail light housing satin black (or gloss) or just overlays if you dont wanna go the painting route. im bout to do mine satin. maybe this will point you toward some ideas. good luck

I just did an oil change, though i was asked if I would want to use Synthetic, I called infiniti and said just use regular, since my car asks to change the oil every 3750 miles, a $60 oil change for synthetic no thanks! lol ... Though i've been told synthetic will help your engine live a longer cleaner life..guys what do you think?

no reason why you cant use synthetic, it is much prefered certainly if you are doing a higher change interval

I changed my oil and tried to get my swaybar out, but failed. I did my oil change yesterday. Today I decided to use my new breaker bar to remove the sway bar. I need to remove it to check for the clunking sound. People have been saying it is caused by the swaybar/endlinks. My breaker bar is 1/2" drive and the 14mm long socket was 3/8" drive. It was a huge failure.

I then decided, since my car was jacked, to check my rear breaks. The 20mm socket was too short and the breaker bar's head was too wide so I scraped the holes while taking the wheel nuts out. For the last nut, I scraped one of the spokes. I was a little annoyed. One part of the rim was already scratched, so I didn't feel too bad. I'll probably resurface the wheels sometime.
