I'm pretty sure my 04 burns oil..........

 

My 03 had a slight OC problem when I got it, but it's gotten better
I've been running Casterol full synthetic 10-30 and a good filter. It had a crap Nissan filter on it when I got it

 

I can firmly say that will never be my name.

Im ready for summer. Its time to break the G out.

 

Me too. I haven't washed my G since november.

Every time i get some good weather to get out and hand wash it...there's no point because a snowstorm is coming the next day.

 

My 04 6sp burned oil, burned enough I just got a new long block put in it and got the car back new years eve, 4 yrs to the day of buying it. I also had the clutch replaced & light weight flywheel installed. The car had 51k miles on the engine & clutch, clutch didn't have much life left, glad I invested in one while they had it torn apart. I could produce maintenance records from when I bought the car w/20k miles, but Infiniti could not produce any maintenance records from the time the car was put in service.

 

mines been washed several times. i have a code for a carwash on the way to work for a free wash. works every time no problems ever

 

Atleast hose it off. Dont let your car sit covered in salt.

 

^Why not? I let mine sit covered in mud... just because I know you'll lose sleep over it

 

Mud isnt corrosive quite like salt is haha

 

Hard to hose it off when it's sub-32 degrees and the hose is frozen.

Actually, we are getting a monsoon tonight and tomorrow...2+ inches of rain. I gotta drive 50 miles on the highway in it...so that should do a great job of washing the salt off on top and underneath.

 

This sounds like a better plan. If I were in the market for another G, I'd skip past the 05/06 RevUps and straight for the 2nd gen G with the HR. Better car in every aspect. The 6MT is slightly better too.

However, if it were me, I'd be looking for a BMW 330 ZHP. BMWs aren't that expensive to maintain assuming you stick with the 3-series cars and your a DIYer. 3-series BMWs are pretty easy to wrench and the aftermarket is limitless.

 

My wife and I have owned a 98 LGT wagon for over 9 years now. Her wagon has 116K miles and hasn't popped a HG yet I attribute it to the fact that ionly two women have driven the car over it's 12 year life. The car rarely sees 4K rpms. I pray everything holds together until March when we get her an 08ish Outback. Her car has been super reliable.

 

^Ah common. Swap in an EJ257 or 255 and boost the crap out of it... you know you want to

 

My 96 Outback just rolled over 145k yesterday.

 

If it was me, I would get the '07.
