Welcome, good to see another Texas G driver on the forum.

 

Wow! so many responces I feel like i'm part of the family! I'll take a pic in a minute and post it up.

BTW, guys at work saw the car and they loved it! 2 of them are car buffs and brothers too! One drives an 05 chevy ss silverado and the other drives an 03 mustang gt convertible/ auto, both are stock. They both laughed and said to bad it has a lil v6, too slow for them
I did not say anything, I know my G is fast, but I dont know if its as fast as those other 2. Any guesses?

 

Won't be too far behind the mustang, not sure what motor the SS truck has. I know the SS trailblazer is fast.

 

I'm pretty sure that you will take the ss silverado, and i think you will take the mustang too.

 

Here is a picture of the passenger side. The drivers side does not work. What is the purpose of this light? So will I have to take the bumper off for this?


thanks!

 

the silverado has the 6.0 v8 and has awd. I heard it does 0-60 in the 6 second range.

 

Welcome to the forum fellow Texan. I'm in Sugar Land but if you're ever up for a Houston meet, drop me a line. Good lookin' ride, good luck keeping the mod bug in check. 8 months in and I feel like I've been bitten pretty bad... (see sig)

 

SS Trailblazer>SS Silverado. You should hang with a Silverado and Mustang just fine.

Nice looking car by the way! Representing the 03-04 rims lol

 

That sounds great, just to let everyone know, i wont be around for the next 2 weeks. Going on vacation to Disney

 

I'm back guys! trip was great and now I'm back at tring to fix the car.

So, does anyone know what that lightbulb is in the picture a couple of posts up is for? Any recomendations for what to replace it with? or a better looking bulb?

thanks!

 

Nice G and good thing it has the nismo, especially in IP.

throw a coat of wax on her and keep a bottle of this^^ with a microfiber towel in the trunk and remove birdshiitt and big bugs off the front as soon as you get them......especially off the nismo pieces.....it's like a 3 grand + installation from the dealer(though most buy thru group buys much cheaper).....Yours was probably from the factory...

Good luck with your G and welcome.

do an auto trans flush and check the coolant concentration b4 this(late 100 degree+ temps.) summer..and ck the front brake pad thickness.......if you have not done this yet.

Tell your coworker that it's such a shame that your "lil 3.5 v6" produces the exact horsepower as his 4.6 v8 GT. Your G performs identically to the 280-298hp 05+ sedans.(essentially being under rated)
While he produces more 42 ft/lb more torque, he is heavier than hardtop GT mustangs and more importantly......heavier than your G. Some reviews put it at "sub 7 second times" or 6.5seconds auto and a bit faster for manual..though he will say his is modded but.....stock for stock....he is not that much faster.

btw, it was not until 2005+ model GTs that performance is out of the G's range at 0-60 in 5.1 auto/manual and 13.5 1/4mi manual and 13.6 1/4mi auto for the hardtop. The convertible at 5.2 0-60 and 13.8 1/4mi.(essentially the hardtop and conv. perform nearly equally, and in pre 2005 models, the convertible was always a heavy, much slower goat especially the automatics, when compared to the hardtop)

rant over

 

That little light is the running/parking light. Not hugely important because it just lights up the fog/high beam housing, which is illuminated anyway by the fog/high beams when they are on. I believe that bulb is a 168/194 bulb. I replaced mine with Polarg hyperwhites (like these http://www.racinglab.com/polm4supwhit.html), some people replace theirs with LEDs (like these http://autolumination.com/194.htm). Both give off a white/blue color. In any case, it's a PITA to get those bulbs changed. You have to remove the front fenderwell liner behind the headlamp, then you can reach in there and find a long plastic housing piece which is connected to that little light bulb. Turn it counterclockwise and it comes out.

While you're in there, you might as well replace your fog/high beam bulbs (9003 bulbs) with some Osram/Sylvania Silverstars. They will give off a white light closer to the stock HIDs.

 

congrats and welcome.



why did you get a sedan and not a coupe?

 

After reading the boards for a while I realized that the sedan was not that much slower than the coupe. Also, Ive thought that If we have a family in the not to distant future, a baby seat will better fit in the sedan than the coupe. The 2 door is beautiful, but so is the 4 door.

 

thanks 4 the tips, will get her washed and waxed as soon as the rain stops here. I need to purchase a z-tube and pop charger
