Just bought an 03

I purchased my third car a few weeks ago and found this place to be a great source of information. I made an account to answer a question so I figured I would do an intro. I'm 19... and I have a G...done

I just made a mod list in my sig.

2003 G35 Sedan - JWT W/ Z-Tube - 5/16 Iso thermal Spacer - Exhaust soon (can't decide)

I would like to overhaul the entire brake system eventually, but that's a big investment. I just hit 50,000 miles and the brakes extremely soft even after new pads, flushed (ss lines this weekend) I wish it came with Brembo

FYI, the non-Brembos have the same 60-0 stopping ability as the Brembos. The only advantage of the Brembos is on a road course where they're a bit better at handling fade.

I've been reading up on the difference in BBK vs Stock Brembo vs Stock Infiniti vs Any slot or XDrilled and it seems like the difference is feel ( aside from minor improvments with BBK, 3-8 feet). For me right now they feel like marshmallows.

I'm not prone to car accidents, no worries, been driving since 15 (yay Florida law) with no traffic accidents and I like the car too much to abuse it.

It may look in nice shape, but the paint is ruined forever the previous owner (50 year old lady) took it through an automatic car wash...a lot.

your paint is not ruined forever.. do some research online of the miracles professional detailers can do on paint.. some before/after pictures ive seen are jaw dropping.

I second that, a professional detailing will do amazing things for a paintjob!

I take my car to Word of Mouth Detailing here in Memphis (http://www.wordofmouthdetailing.com), and they wow me every time.
