Help

I have a 2005 g35 sedan and I was wondering what other year sedan hoods fit my car because I can't seem to find one. And also my front seat button only works one way when I try to press it to lean forward it doesn't even make a noise . Can anybody tell me what the problem is? Thanks !

no you would have to do the coupe front end conversion like this dude did.

My car and steering wheel vibrates when I brake so I assume have warped rotors. If I get new rotors will it affect the new rotors if I continue using the same pads? Or do I need to get new pads as well to get rid of the whole problem?

There's a chance it's just buildup on the rotors.
Somewhere on here there's a procedure for gettingyour brakes hot and re bedding them... IIt'sworth a shot.
Worse case you overheat rotors that are already old.

But if you do change them, change both pads and rotors

What about just resurfacing them? Anyone recommend ?

Worse gas mileage than a F-150.

Is this normal? Getting about 250 miles on a full tank of gas if I baby the hell out of it. If I'm running it hard on a full tank, I'm lucky to even break 200 a tank. My SES light is on for an error code P0420, but that would just mean that the cats are bad. From the exhaust though, it does smell a bit rich as well.

I just bought the car 3 months ago, and have been getting this horrid MPG since I bought it, so I don't know anything better.

Considering people can get even 300 a tank (I've tried, literally impossible on my car.) there HAS to be something...

I would investigate the error code. It could be a clue that you are running rich.

But yes, for the most part, these cars have poor fuel economy. My previous V8 Mustang got better gas mileage than my X ever did

I get about 22-24 mpg driving 75 in little to no traffic. So that would be 440-480 miles if i ran it empty. If your cats are bad then your downstream o2 sensors will send readong inconsistent with the upstream o2 sensor. The ecu will default rich to avoid damaging the engine. So you need to fix what is broken to get the best mpg. You are getting worse mpg than my 2013 Armada and that isnt a good thing.

X Sedan Bumper

Hello everyone,

Posting here because there's hardly any traffic in the "private classified exterior" section.

Looking for the best option or advice in buying a new or used, painted diamond graphite G35x bumper for my 2006. I think the rear wheel drive "no center slot" '05-06 bumper would work as well.

Anybody purchase from the web or any vendors here on the forum?

I'm not looking for something nice/aftermarket. Just looking to replace a cracked stock bumper and then probably sell the car and get into a G37x. Spending less than $450 would be ideal.

Thanks in advance.

I'd love to know this as well - I even need the same color LOL. I cracked the lower part on an ice bank this winter and it looks like crap now.
