Ever get Understeering?
the other day i was rolling in the G, and came to a U turn that the light was changing, and I decided to showboat a bit, and as Im approaching the turn the car starts to understeer. Now for me, I haven't experienced this in this car. I have in the altima but not the G. so when I go to turn and the car keeps going straight, it shocked me a bit. But as I adjust a bit I had to slow down and let the car repossision itself, and suddenly i was oversteering. My guess is this was just a matter of me controlling it better rather than parts needing to be upgraded, but still.... I want to know if anyone else gets this problem

the g35, like most cars on the road, are designed to understeer at the limit for your own safety.
if you want to induce oversteer, you can probably do so with sway bars, tires, shocks,etc. but swaybars alone would probably do it.
as far as the car's behavior goes, the G is pretty good out the box. id hate to say it but the best way to get the most out of the car is to probably get the best driving education you can...

I drive pretty aggressively in the G. With about 2K miles on my OEM tires, the excessive stick they had when new is simply not there. They show plenty of tread remaining. Rears break easily, and the other day I noticed a slight feeling of push/squirm from the fronts while turning. The tires definately aren't what they used to be.

I agree with you 'Puff..the G in it's stock form understeers when pushed in a turn...I experianced this (as usuall) the other day on my trip down the 18 in the San Berdu mnts..strange thing was that day a motorcycle PASSED me (unfreakinbelievable I NEVER get passed on this road!) on the way down...few turns later I came upon the accident..off duty law enforcement officer 23 years old on a black suzuki?...drifted into the oncoming traffic and ate a lexus SUV head-on then proceded to fly off the mountian...needless to say he died..

The G understeers in tight turns such as in an AutoX situation. Most modern cars are setup to understeer for safety reason. If you guys constantly get understeer going into a corner, then please take a driving school course first. It's one thing to bank into a AutoX hairpin knowing you will understeer, it's another story to plow through an intersection 'shocked' that your vehicle understeered.

driving school won't help the fact that the car understeers....but a good rear sway will!
