Awesome, you must have been one of the OG's on the forum as well. I didn't get here until 09 but I sure miss what I call the good old days. Who can forget people like skeleton_cru.....

Best of luck with your search, bud. The value for money is VERY hard to beat for a buyer(?).
It's really quite difficult to find one for sale that isn't North of 100k miles (that would be my personal limit) or that hasn't been beaten up.

My only sadness with mine is that she's not a MT (that's what happens when you try to keep the wife happy? :-/). When mine dies one day, boosting is my plan(?) - even if she is an auto. :-)
Why would you buy a car like this and then systematically destroy it and pull it "through your ***" (like some people do)? Doesn't make any sense to me(?).
Do you mind telling me a bit about your wheels? Rim size, Tyre size, spacers, flared fenders, etc.? I think I would max mine out at 19" for daily driving; 20" looks amazing but it seems a bit too snug, so limits the drive-ability(?) - for fear of interference between tyres and body? (I don't know so I'm just guessing about that).

Thanks Jeoka! I know what you mean, mines an auto as well. The plan is to eventually do a 2JZ or RB26 swap as well as a manual swap. I’m not sure when that’s going to happen but it will eventually.
The wheels are Iconz Forged, they’re 20x10 all around. +15 on the front, +10 on the rears. I’m running UHP Argus tires, 275/30/20 rears, 245/35/20 fronts. The rear fenders are rolled and slightly pulled.
The only shitty thing with these wheels is they are not BBK friendly which really sucks.
The fitment is exactly what I was looking for, it’s aggressive but not too crazy IMO.

2004 G35 MT, had an engine overhaul for a valve issue and oil leak, repaired front stabilizer, fixed window motors numerous times, replaced lock actuators with non-OEM, and changed out radiator fan (manufacturer recall) and most recently replaced spark plugs and coils due to misfire P0300 error. Other than these issues over the past 12 years I still love my G!

Eoregel17 - She looks nice enough but why do you drive her on the dirt? (JK - none of my business)
Couple of questions:
What wheels/tires do you have on her (the back tire looks WIDE?)
How do you like those headlights (paid around $400 for them?)? I've been looking at that style so I can preserve my OEM's from yellowing (although mine doesn't spend much time in the sun) and I especially like the DRL feature that they offer - There are too many numbskulls nowadays, who are too busy looking at their phone screens to notice surrounding traffic and the DRL's help quite a bit.
Cheers
