Barely a page and this one is in the crapper.

I predict this will end badly.

buying a g35 and need help

i found a pretty good g35. but the clutch is about to go out and the rear differential bushing is split. also the front door lock actuators are not working. this is all from an infiniti service shop. how much would a clutch be to replace? and would it even be worth it to buy the car with these problems?

If you opt to change the clutch, I would go ahead and drop in an aftermarket flywheel. However, if you can't stand the chatter, leave the OEM dual mass in.

Honestly though, with all those problems, try to find another car. It sounds like the previous owner beat the hell out of the car.
