They are saying due to the sensors being located on the axle splines instead of reading internally that the gearing shouldn't affect the rpm readings. (This is my original assumption, bc no thread about the gears ever mentioned it). I've know my tach/speedo was always a little off but when other people start to poke and prod at my theories i like to have second opinions. I knew about the tire calculator i just didn't have that site and I forgot where i was difference wise.

 

I'm pretty sure it's KH3 as the black obsidian has never changed throughout the years. You can always check the driver's door on any car for the color code,

 

Is this serious? I've searched around and apparently it's not a big deal? Anyone else has any theory? I'm driving 2000km road trip next week so I'm just wondering if it's not serious

 

++++1 that's correct, KH3 is Super Black (Nissan) Black Obsidian

 

I agree that it won't effect the RPM or speedometer readings, but it can effect your actual speed. On the 06/07's taller gearing will make the car think its going faster then it actually is, this doesn't happen on the 03/04's. I went from a 3.5 to a 3.7FD and at 80mph my speedometer displayed 90-92mph. Now, I've only observed this on several Coupes but I don't see why Sedans would be any different.

Since you went from a 3.5 to a 3.9 you should see a larger difference IF your car reacts the same as the newer models. Would definitely be helpful if you can prove one or the other since there seems to be no info on an 05 with a different FD

 

^but there is. Danny (thescreensavers) swapped from a 3.3 to a 3.5 and his is an 05, and if I'm understanding correctly, his speedometer, though inaccurate before, still reads the same now as it did before

 

^Very well. Too bad he neglected to mention that

 

Im looking for smoked/black corners for my G. any suggestions on good websites for parts??

 

I'm selling a pair of oem amber corners painted gloss black but the light doesn't shine thru em. Do you need the light to shine thru or no?

 

do you have to have the light shine thru to pass inspection?

 

What paint is good to use to paint the front grill? I want to paid it matte black or the gloss black im not too sure..

 

I used plastidip to do it. I think a lot of guys that want it permanent use rustoleum with a base primer and clear coat. There are a few DIYs if you just search paint g35 grill

 

As far as I can tell, instead of being at 3100rpms@80mph with the 3.5, I'm at 3100rpms@75mph. Definitely brings the car to life coming out of turns.

That's a factory option for the sedan tho.

 

I posted in the Wheels/Tires thread but no one responded.

For my 04x, will I be ok with an 18x9.5 +35 up front on stock suspension? I am not too good with offsets like you guys are on here.

I will be running my current tires on them that are 245/40/18

Also, how much of a stretch is that on a 9.5 with those tires?

 

Hey everyone,
New guy here; I'm going to be getting a 04 G35x Sedan this Saturday and it has stock HID's in it. I've been looking and looking FOREVER for some projector headlights but I can't seem to find any. Do you guy's know if there are any out there for this car??? IF so where and how much? If not, is there anyone on this Forum who makes them? Thanks for any help.
