Hmmm I have no idea. I've towed ours on a car dolly behind a U Haul truck.

Probably, but I would definitely ask the dealer on this one.

Yeah if you tow it you're going to have to make sure only the front wheels are touching the ground... and the steering is locked tight and straight. Not sure how you'd do that but where there's a will there's a way.

A flat bed 4 wheeled trailer w/b the best option!

Sounds like a very poor idea to me and a "For Sure" way to wear out a car that costs major $$ to repair! Towed vehicles are generally a old Jeep or something you could throw away without hesitation!

Suzuki Samurai was the ultimate tow-behind

The reason for not towing the AUTOMATIC EQUIPPED G35 is the transmission does not self-oil from rear output shaft rotation. Some vehicles DO oil the transmission when only the rear shaft is spinning but the G35 does not, therefor you will have unlubricated moving parts inside the transmission that WILL experience early wear.

You should be able to google search a list of vehicles that can safely be towed behind a 5th wheel. You always have the option of removing the driveshaft from the differential (just use a strap and tie it off to the side) though if you are absolutely determined to do it.
