^ Welcome to the forums.

Look at the stickies in the coupe section and you can post further questions here or in one of those threads:

Can a resonator in a midpipe cause the same issues as a clogged cat? Been dealing with a misfire for months and the resonator started making a noise and when i unbolted the midpipe it seemed to idle and run smoother but i don't know if it was me thinking it was better or not. It also seemed to get rougher after i bolted it back up.

Awesome, there's definately discrepancies around so it's nice to see something more precise drawn up. This makes more sense to me, the 1" gap between all seemed super excessive.

Yep, happened to me on one of my old cars. Replaced the resonator and the issues went away, pretty much the same symptoms you mentioned.

Question 3rd Brake Light Fix?

GF noticed my third brake light faint and stuttering last night (not sure how long it's been like this)...

yes I searched (for the last 45 minutes)... apparently the recall attempt failed and the LEDmarker guy I guess is MIA (with peoples money?)...

So what is the perma fix? (besides wiring a separate LED strip)...

TIA

Where to buy Parts for my 2003 G35

Anyone has recommendations as to where to buy parts for my G35?
I need a front right - lower control arm or compression rod.

I am also looking to replace my weatherstripping on all doors.
I am looking for a trustworthy place that won't cost me an arm and a leg

I appreciate your help! Thank you!

Hey, you can check out our online site
grubbsinfinitiparts.com you get your G35 driver discount at that site,
and the Lower Control arm is seperate from the Compression Rod,
Lower Control Arm is the non curved bar, and the compression rod is the curved part, sorta like a boomerang/bananna
if you need any assistance feel free to PM me
Phil

yeah some people call the Lower Control arm the Lower Control arm,
and the compression rod, the upper control arm, but they'd be wrong,
he couldn't be further from the truth saying they are the same....
let me know if I can help ya out!
