new member (looking to get a g35 soon)

hey guys whats going on? my name is anthony and im from ridgewood ny. after looking into a few cars i decided to part and sell my is300 and get a g35 instead. im a car dealer so ill be buying the car at an auction.

i just have a few newbie questions first. im looking into getting an 03 or an 04 manual and i know some cars in todays world have an issue with traction control and not being able to turn them off. i wanted to know if i would be able to turn traction control on or off on an 03 or 04. also idk if anyone could answer this question but i have tien flex coilovers on my is300 that i picked up for a cheap price and i wanted to know if i would be able to fit them onto a g35 so i wouldnt have to go thru the trouble of trying to sell them and buy new ones.

thanks and i appreciate the help!

thanks for the welcome! im getting rid of the is300 for a few reasons. 1st being that its alittle to slow for my taste. originally i was on the road to perfect stance and then supercharge to get at least 300 but that came with its on complications such as either finding and fitting a 5 speed from a supra for paying 3g's to build my auto. then buying a used supercharger (cause they dont sell new ones anymore) and not knowing exactly how reliable a used supercharger is. speaking of reliability, when u add any kind of fi i can kiss that word goodbye.

second is the fact that its a 4 door. im 21 and wanna abuse the fact that i can own a coupes while im still young.

realistically ill be happy with 260 or 270 to the wheels with a real nice stance and a manual transmission and the g35 will do tht for me

as a previous IS300 (and still have it) owner, i must warn you that reliability of G35 is crappy.

look out for
1. bad door actuators
2. bad window motors
3. bad power seat
4. oil consumption
5. bad paint
6. transmission defect/ gear grinds
7. higher cabin heat
8. oem CD player problem

however G35 is definitely more power and more fun to drive

lol nothing is as reliable as an is300 but whatever all of those are minor problems except the paint and transmission problem. i have a paint shop that paints pretty cheap cause he is a long time family friend and this thursday im getting a garage so i dont have to worry about it getting hit while its parked on the street or sun damage. thanks for the heads up man!
