I do need to buy that clutch pedal kit sometime. I still keep having the clutch pedal sticking issue.
Bleed the clutch fluid. I get that pedal sticking issue typically in the summer when things heat up outside. Now I just bleed the clutch fluid every spring as preventative maintenance.

This has instructions but the pictures are expired. A google search may come up with some pictures. After you get the clutch pedal assembly out, take a picture of the spring, so that you know how everything goes back in case you don't like it. Also, it is harder to put the spring back in compared to removing it, and it does make the clutch feel a little heavier.

Question Seats/Radio

Hey Guys!

New to the G-scene. Picking up an 03 Coupe tomorrow. Aside from a few things I am already addressing, there are two which I am in need of some guidance with:

1) The drivers side seat appears to be broken. I havent dived in to it, as of yet, so I am unsure what the issue is, but I do notice when I was getting in and out, it was almost as though the bottom of the seat had either broken free from its weld, or possibly a bolt was missing that holds the track to the floor and the seat was shifting from load-change. Have any of you guys experienced issues with the seats doing anything like this? I was originally going to change the seat for another one, which I have located, but wound up spending unplanned funds on replacement headlights from a member on this forum, since the previous owner put in some cheap chinese crap from ebay and they all imploded.

2) For those of us who have upgraded to a double din headunit for the radio/gps, the unit thats currently in the vehicle doesnt quite fit the space alotted in the install kit. Theres a gap, prob 1/8 to 1/4" around the whole unit. Is there a trim piece available to fill in that gap, or do I need to deal with it until I find the money to replace it with a 7" variant that will fill the entire space with no gaps?

Thanks

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
The seats are held down by 4 bolts, pretty simple assembly. Obviously there are wire harnesses down there as well, but a broken seat is pretty rare.

If you look through the A/V section there's a sticky thread that will let you know everything you would ever want to concerning DD replacements. You'll need a trim piece that I believe is made by Scoshe you can get off Amazon and is under $10 IIRC. Check out the thread I mentioned for the right part.

Welcome to the family and take care of your girl, she'll do the same for you.....

Hi guys. Replacing the steering rack on my G soon, need to drain and replace the power steering fluid.

Which ATF would you recommend? OEM ATF for the power steering system? Mobil 1 also sells full synthetic stuff for $10.50 a quart.

The factory service manual says "Genuine NISSAN PSF or equivalent.."

Can't find any of this for sale? I need a recommendation. Who can help me out ?

does any one here know if the centre dash pocket
is the same in the 03-04 coupe as it is in the 05-07

as i have just done a stereo conversion and now have a giant gaping hole
and can only seem to find a 05-07 pocket on ebay.

this is for my nissan 350gt coupe 2003, same as the g35 coupe but right hand drive.

So when you say you have the gap, do you mean the gap is above the stereo, like no cubby?

05-07 is different than the older 03-04.

Can anyone please get me a measurement of how much the fuel door actuator sticks out in the locked position? Mine broke (well it's been this way since I bought it) and I want to jerry rig a fix, since it's not really worth replacing the unit (still locks and unlocks).




Gas thefts have been more common recently.

Is there a difference between the brake lights on a coupe sompared to a sedan? I've been looking for replacements and all I'm finding are ones for the sedan. Also, my brake and head lights are tinted/plasti-dipped and I'm not particularly a fan of the way they did it. Is there an easy way to remove that or am I better off just getting new brake/head lights? Thanks in advance.

Coupes fit coupe only. Sedan fit sedan tails and heads.
Tinting is dumb.

I understand that tinting is dumb, that’s why I asked how to remove it without having to get new lights. Also, thanks for answering my first question.

It depends if it's painted on or vinyl. I'd take pics.
