2 things get tired of are the complaints about back problems from the G's seats and people worrying about over reving their damn motors ....... I red lined my Coupe leaving the dealers and IF my back hurt (in my 20's no less) I wouldn't be asking for help on the internet ........... are you the same degenerates clogging the aisles at Walmart with your asses hanging over te seat of the "handicap" scooters,too?
QTF whining and get in shape, and Oh Yeah start shiftin at 7 Grand. Dad paid alot for that guarantee! Heh, heh.

Oh man, this thread is gonna blow up now. Not sure why you had to post. You've really opened yourself up, but I like it! I will suggest hoiwever, that you take your Micardis or whatever heart meds you take, that is if you decide to check this thread tomorrow!

RXYour response relating hip degeneration to a stroke prompts me to ask, are you a" large" or "small" animal specialist and didn't they warn you in Vet school not to practice on humans? Heh,heh ........ (I'm betting the "Doc" considers anything over 3500 RPM's as 'tightly wound') ........... !!
PS Next chance I get I'm gonna "clip" one a them Fat Asses in the Jazzy's in the Walmart parking lot.

Typically for rides more than 30 minutes my back starts to hurt around the middle of the spine. This does not happen when I'm driving other cars only the G35. The pain goes away after I get out of the car and walk around for a few minutes. Any suggestions ?
The G has multiple ways of adjusting the driver's seat and the steering wheel, and the seats are wide enough to accomodate the vast majority of its drivers comfortably. I hate to be the barer of bad news but you probably have a back problem. I'm old enough to be your father and I have absoluutely no problems dring my G on long trips.
The best thing to do is to experiment with different sitting positions. I'm confident that you'll eventually find a position that will be much better for your back.
Good luck.

Typically I drive with the seat a little bit reclined, and my knees not locked when fully depressing the clutch. and the last two buttons at the lowest setting.
I've read the post about someone bitching about it and got an M3 instead but I'm not selling my G.
edit: I'm 5 feet 9 inches tall

(eg. if the small of your back doesn't line up with the lumbar support)
Find a local seat upholsterer & get them to add additional foam support where needed.

anyway, i would go with a seat cover that will add the proper support where needed. I would say unless you are over 6'1" or so it sucks. RX

COULD THIS BE MISCONCEPTION???
I went to LA auto show few weeks ago and I saw the new 06 G with pretty projector eyes. After seeing all the posts about 06, I found no interest taking a closer look at it. My gf on the other hand would like to give it a try. So she sat in and found out a couple things that I didn't see in the posts:
1) Navigation is one touch sliding up and down, unlike our crappy one push-all-the-way *click*
2) The seat looked the same, but oh my do they feel different from the 04 I have. The seat on the 06 felt softer on the back and hip side and the lumper support beneath the thigh was not as hard. Overall, I am not sure when they change the material of the seats.
Perhaps those people who do not care about these back pain and sore thigh/legs complaints simply because they are having different seats? Only if I can confirm the timing Infiniti changes the design/material of the driver's seat...
Cloud: to solve your problem, try PHITEN. Phiten has products that are designed to sooth your body ache and sore muscles. It works to certain level for my neck (not caused by G's seat) and my sore leg (this comes from my G). I bought some phiten patches and stick to the back of my thigh whenever I feel my sore leg is getting serious. So far so good~
Just my 2 cents.
