G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Most likely you're low on radiator fluid or you have an air pocket in the system somewhere. Check your level and if it's good, burp the system to get rid of it.

telling him to get a square setup is just an easier answer, had he attempted to find info, he would of found the group of postings on wheels and tires for the X.

I'm on squared wheels and stagged tires. Was on stagged wheels and tires. Will eventually go square tires and wheels.

Just because its the easier answer doesn't make it the correct answer.

+1 I just had this happen last Friday, refilled coolant and did an easy burp, then let it idle for 30-45 min, then sit overnight... worked fine in the morning.

My "VDC OFF", "SLIP", and "BRAKE" lights are all on, all the time for a week now. I had thrown a p1217 code last week, but just burped the coolant and added and the Service Light is gone (^above post), but now these other lights are stuck on. Suggestions?

Maybe need new brakes or low on brake fluid.

^ It for sure needs brake service. Never occurred to me that would cause the lights on the dash though.

Brakes are probably in need of a change or you might have a bad sensor somewhere.

Hopefully this helps:

Angry

Was driving home yesterday on 83 South in the rain so I'm in the far right lane doing 55 on my bald Goodyear RSA's(just ordered some Yokohama Avid ENVIgor's yesterday). Next thing I know, a cement mixer goes flying by right next to me doing like 85 and hits an imperfection in the road, pelting my front end with debris. I try to catch up with the guy in hope of getting a glimpse of his license plate but my slip indicator comes on as I slightly fishtail- FAIL!!! I get home expecting to see major denting but instead see a mix of wet and dry cement! Am I screwed or is there something I can do to get it off of my paint?

Yeah, if you get those three lights all at once, it's more than likely tripping the low brake fluid sensor.

Eagle RSA's drive like they are bald in the wet regardless of tread depth lol

anyhow, this is difficult to say, how big are the spots? Claybar is a good start. You can buy a Meguiars Clay kit at Advance, follow the direction and see how it goes.

hey guys, just picked up an 04 g35 coupe, i used to have a vortech 350z and very known on my350z, new to the G, few little things ive been messing with maybe someone can help me ou, i tried a search but couldnt find anythingt..

both front side markers in the bumper were not working i noticed, i went to the parts store and bought new bulbs, replaced them and now the pass. side is working fine but front driver side is still not working, i looked through all 3 fuse boxes and didnt see anything that was marked for the side markers, i looked though ones i though might be but none were blown that i saw, anyone know if there is a specific fuse for the front driver side marker? and any ideas why it wouldnt be working (it doesn nothing)(front driver side marker so we are clear)?
Also after changing the bulb and it not working still i looked around more and noticed there is a bulb out on the driver side headlight that i beleive in the manual said it was a clearance light? might not be correct ill have to check that and make sure what it said. its the little bulb on the outside of the headlight for the strip that runs down the headlight. Im wondering if they are linked together somehow?, i will be removing the headlight after dinner to replace that clearance light bulb or whatever it is and see if that starts working and go from there...






thanks

^It's only supposed to light up. No blink (though there is a mod for that)

Did you get LED lights? If so, you have to have them installed the right way.
They'll fit the plug in either direction, but only light up in one direction
