biggest mistake of my life
so i went with my mom on january to purchase 05 g35 at a local infiniti dealership or atleast to just look at it
there it was on the show room....black on black.....beautiful!
too bad at the time the car wasnt out in stick yet.....sure i wanted it in stick...but like an idiot just got my mom to buy it because i really didnt think it would make a big difference
i went back to the dealership a couple of days ago asked how much would i end up loosing tradin in this one for the exact same one in stick
i practicly end up loosing 8,gs from the 20 that we put down
any tips or ideas on wut i can do to get my hands on a stickshift g35....or atleast some comments to make me feel better about this beautiful car that i have
...dont get me wrong i love my car but nothin beats the feel of havin a clutch under your foot........

You have a great car-enjoy it for many years! For your next car think a little longer if you are not sure, and wait if you have to. And I sure hope this was the biggest "mistake" in your (and your mother's) life.

Well, too be honest... Stick is a pretty a rough ride to use. You'll be more happier if you stick with Auto w. sport shift. At any time, you can switch to sport shift and enjoy the ride!

I'm trying to sell my G35 as a matter of fact..........before you cut this message out, she's got full exhaust work done, greddy twin turbo, JWT flywheel, and ACT 6 puck clutch. Hopefully I'll be dynoing it soon, I'll be sure to post everything on the car soon!

if powers wut you want jus upgrade your torque converter and get a valve body upgrade.. youll shift faster than any mt out there.. jus that itll costs $.. of course as for not having a clutch you cant do anything about that ![Frown](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

this is a very sad story that deserves alot of attention. i feel so bad for you man.
i think there should be a nightline special on this story. "next on nightline, the traedgy of a boy whose mom bought him a g35, but it was an automatic. watch as this tragic tale of loss unfolds" i think you could get alot of symapthy from this story...
anyway, welcome to the board and enjoy your ride! the 6mt is fun as hell, but you still got a nice ride. learn from the exp and be patient next time!
