umm the engine bay is normal, i'll go take a picture of it though. but underneath the car there's two red rods, one in the front and one in the back, that don't look stock. idk what they are.
i agree. the back wants to punch you in the face and the front just wants to give you a hug.

I've found that even a stock G35 has a rougher ride than most cars. True, it is marketed as a luxury car. But it's also marketed as a sports coupe. It won't have the softest ride, and you should get used to it. Did you test drive it before you bought it? If it bothers you that much, remove the coils and buy stock suspension. You should come out with cash on top from that and not have to deal with the rough ride. I'm running coilovers on my car, and have run modded suspension on my G35. I've gotten used to bouncing around cracks on flat ground.
BTW, I hope you know you have a Chargespeed rear. Also, about your fuel gauge, do you mean it fluctuates up and down after turning off the car. IE: You drive around and turn off the car when it has half tank. You leave it alone overnight or whatever and next time you start it up, the tank reads 1/4 instead of the half tank? Seemingly dropping a full quarter tank of gas overnight?

Everything looks stock in the engine bay. You are missing the cap on your windshield wiper fluid tank, the tank closest to the core support. You should remove the engine cover and check to see if a Plenum Spacer has been installed (would be a thin strip about 5/16th to 1/2 an inch between the upper and lower plenums).
