I just got my 2005 coupe 6M last month. I've been loving it, 40km drive to work every early morning has become a pleasure!
There is a light "REV" in the middle of the center instrument which is constantly on, just above the "slip" indicator. Is this an indication of something??

 

its a shift light...

go to your tripmeter and hit it until u see an 8000. then hold it in and change where the shiftlight goes off, do 3000 until you break in your car...

 

it starts blinking roughly 500RPMs before you hit the pont that you set it to.. once it hits the point it'll turn solid..

its basically a light that flashes telling you "SHIFT U DUMBFUC"

 

LOL...

 

lol.

 

That's a nasty sounding flash!
I got it, tried it and worked, how did you guys figure it out, not a word about this indicator nor the gear shifting warning level adjuster on the trip meter on the owners manual. The sales guy who sold me the car at the infinity dealership didn't know what it was either.
It's kinda useless feature (you might as well look at the tachometer to see the revolution if you got time to see this REV flashing, or go by the rev sound of the engine).
Anyways thanks for the tips.

 

Sup Ya'll. Noob here, just picked up my 05 6M G Saturday night. From review of the owners manual, the up-shift indicator is identified on page 5-16 and 5-17. Good hunting.

 

Noob, you must have a different owner's manual than my 2005 G35 coupe infiniti owner's manual. In mine, 5-16 is explains cruise control and 5-17 on break-in and increasing fuel economy with no reference on up-shift indicator!?!

 

hey sukairain ("skyline" in romaji)! how'd you get the katakana in this forum? i didn't know this forum supports foreign characters! anyway, congrats on the new coupe! i'll remember that when i get my IP 6mt on stone, hopefully in a few months. btw, how much does the g35c cost in canada? i always see those "canadian" prices on books, so i'm guessing you spent $50k canadian?

 

Hey Mportpunk!
If you have Windows XP, it has a built in Japanese language support, go to control panel / regional and language option / Language tab / Detail button, then add Japnese key board (MS IME standard 2002 ver.8.1). However, you have to know how to use Japanese "henkan" typing method.
As for the price of 2005 G35c sport package in Canada...the MSRP is CND$49,300. I got $2700 discount thru connection with the Nissan group, but add Freight&PDE and luxury car tax of 10% and provincial tax of 7.5%. (I guess with US exch rate today @1.23, it's equivalent about US$45,000 to $48,000 all in, in Canada)
As you can see it really adds up and sucks. Taxes are too much here, we live in commi here.
How much do they go for in US?

 

Hey sukairain! (sorry, this particular computer i'm using is running Win 2K pro, no IME support!) all the way in sunny, beautiful hawaii (actually, it's been raining like hell here the past 3 weeks) the G35 coupe base retails for about $33K (that's MSRP). In addition to the destination charge of like $600 (?) and a 4.166% state sales tax, the numbers sorta look something like this:

2005 G35 Coupe 6MT
Car: $33,150 (MSRP)
Prem Pkg: $2,450 (MSRP)
Dest. Charge: $610
Dealer Documentation Fee: $195
Hawaii Tax (4.166%): $1,516.89
Hawaii License/Registration fee: $150.00
Total: $38,071.89

Of course, this is before the negotations of the MSRP off the car and options packages. Wow, I was being sarcastic when I said "$50K" - dude, you could get an '06 M45 Sport for that money!

man, you canadians must be rich! i heard that you don't pay sales tax in Oregon, so what would happen if you bought it in the U.S. and just drove it over the border?

 

yeah i also got an old owners manual...

 

does the 04 have a shift light?

 

Does anybody ever use the search feature or read their owner's manual?

 

some manuals for the 05 dont indicate the shift light... mine was old...

if youve read this entire thread you would see that some owners manuals were old...
