It's your control arm and/or compression rod bushings.

Humm
I have had this car for less than a month.
Initial problem, one low beam out, some noise from the front pass side, no remote, very clean interior, some flaws in the clear coat and some chips, Air Bag light on, needs an oil change, one rotor badly warped.
2003 124K.
1) CD did not work
2) Radio now works part time.
3) New lamp cost $75 mail order.
4) LCR bad, replacements were $85 mail order.
5) Lamp is out in Clock.
6) Rocking chair option.
7) There is something strange about the very low speed turning on this car.
8) Replace one rotor $40.

Replaced one low beam lamp.
Changed the oil. Spent 15Min looking for the oil filter.
Replaced lower CR. The front suspension is still noisy.
Remote purchased online, works AOK.
Reset air bag light .
Rocking Chair option: Pulled the drivers side seat. Found bad weld rework job.
Welded the drivers side seat frame. Results TBD.
Part time radio, Clear coat flaws, noisy front suspension, Clock light, are yet to be resolved.
I got my first ticket as well in over 12 years!
Other than that it seem to be a great car! NOT!

How is it that you spent 15mins looking for oil filter. Where you drunk, you know it's located on the engine right. If you only had it for a month then you bought someone else's problem that they never took care of. I know all these thing did not happen in the 31 days you owned it. You should of looked for a good g35 and not the cheapest g35.

 

Just today....a dead oem battery. I can't even get mad at that since that battery is now 8 years old.
Small tear in the leather on the drivers seat....not yet fixed..
slightly dented passenger side front rim. Will fix when I buy new tires in a cpl months.
weird factory radio. When I turn the radio on, the bass and treble indicate they are at their maximum levels.....but they actually aren't. I turn the bass and treble down to level 4 and back to 5 and the radio sounds normal....this will be fixed when I buy the jdm double din kit......

 

Bad compression rod bushings. One led on passenger taillight was out. Got all that replaced at the dealer and my extended warranty covered it. Also sometimes the window wont move when i hit the switch. Other than that no problems.

 

Hey
I have not reached the 31 day mark yet. You can't see the oil filter, I found it while I was trying to reattach that cover on the bottom of the engine on the passenger side. It was part of the noise from the front of the car. I have put less than 200 miles on get car to date. I always end up picking up someones eases problems when I buy a used car. That is not a problem if you note them and price them in. That car has a clean title, It came with records, it has a new cooling system, AC serviced. All the work was done at the dealer. It looks clean on the inside, and under the hood. I had looked at three others which were also less expensive. I could have picked up a cheaper car, but I was trying for a good ride. S happens with used cars. The radio and seat crap did not show up the first couple of days. I wasted too much money on this BB! Sorry dudes 2003 are just a bucket of problems. Never buy first gen Nissan products! The good news is the rocking chair fix is working. We will see how long it holds up. You should note while you are over there hating on me. These issues are characteristic manufacturing defects. That would mean that unless you have already addressed these issues, they may not be your problem today, but they will be your problem in the long run my friend. Your front end will be clunking, radio turning down, drivers seat racking back and forth, exhaust rattling, eating brakes every 15K, Ac stuck on kill, Windows not working........
Take a long look before you jump. But then you could pick up an E36. You would get a different set of issue (door panels falling apart clear clear failing, can you say sub frame failure!)
Yea new would be nice $$, and Toyota's don't have these issues, but that is no reason to drive one!
Next up, fix the audio. WTF part-time audio is a none starter.
Does anyone know what the story is with the low speed steering? It seems like the there is too much power applied. If you let go of the wheel it will keep turning until it reaches full lock.

KP
It looks like the rocking is gone (mosty).
Someone has installed the MP3/IPod adapter. When the radio craps out the MP3 link still works. Sometimes it too will sound like crap.
Typically when the MP3 gets louder, you can switch over the to the radio and it will be back on line.
I'm in MDR this week, there are some serious pot holes over here , Now I know what that grinding sound that the front end sounds like!
I will have the put compression rods higer on the todo list! The car is pretty quite on good roads.

 

1. Thermostat Engine light came on, replaced it ($150)
2. Thermostat Engine light came on again, replaced the sensor ($80)
3. Squealing noise from braking and reversing replaced new drilled rotors and hawk brake pads ($200)
4. 2003 headlights started forming a crack line near the fog light very common in most g35 i think, replaced with 2007 headlights ($650)

this all happened at once when i was between the 69,000 mile mark and 72,000 mile.

 

-can't lock doors unless i do it manually with my hand
-the radio/ac the whole unit died so ac turns on randomly
-broken valve lifters. the most expensive problem ive had

still a solid car
