Sedan has a front air ram in between the two bumper holes each bumper has... Where the RWD does not.

 

^ unless it's a 2004, those look the same

 

Yellow (3000K) is better for fog light applications, but the amount of heat generated is the same with all kelvin temperatures. 4300K will be the same temperature under normal operating conditions as 6000K etc.. etc...

The only difference in 4300K vs. 6000K bulbs, is the composition of the metallic salts (hallide) inside the bulb chamber.

The lumen output will be roughly the same from 3000K to 8000K, but the amount of visible output decreases as you move higher up the kelvin scale (as you mentioned). More color = more UV light output, which isn't visible to the human eye, so it's a bit of a waste

My service just suggested I replace my `Drive Belts` because some are cracking. How do I determine the parts #s so I can buy them elsewhere and save some money? Just ask the parts dept? I want oem parts but at a more affordable price. Unfortuntely the Can $ has dropped quite a bit so it's a toss up for buying them stateside or in BC. I don't wrench my G and I've been ok with using the dealer for the last 6 years.

 

You might consider turning a wrench to do belts (actually belt... the second one is just for AC, so it's not very critical)
It is an easy job, all you need is a socket wrench with an extension and 10, 12 and 14 mm sockets.
Also, Goodyear Gatorback belts are excellent. Based off personal experience, I would highly recommend.

 

I've only owed my '06 G35 coupe for 8 days and I discovered how much lower the front end is than my Forester...is there anything out there to protect the bottom of the front bumper? If so, what would it be called, I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars.

 

Loud tire noise on highway is really getting to me so I am starting to look into new tires even though mine should have a bit of life left. Upon some basic searching I have come across the Continental ExtremeContact DWS as one of the better rated and suggested ones and wanted to verify it with people who already experienced them first hand. Or what else should I look into? This would be the ideal time to get away from the stock rims as well, but I doubt my taste in rims would match a reasonable budget

Info you probably need:
- '06 G35X Daily driver, city and highway regularly
- Stock 17s so 215/55/17 was the Continental specs at least
- Live in East Texas now so snow isn't a factor anymore, rare layer of ice at best.
- Performance is important, but I obviously factor in ride noise and comfort as well since the current ones are getting too annoying to drive with.
- Value for the money would be nice too, or help with discounts or time of year to buy with specials (buy 3 get 1 free?)

 

Bump for some personal experience or suggestions.

I happened to ask one dealer what they recommended and used, and the reply was either
Bridgestone Potenza or Goodyear Eagle (I assume Eagle Sport All Season since the RS-A seem to show super fast treadwear).

 

Potenzas will barely last 30k miles haha. the DWS are an easy all season choice for extended use. I have heard of a couple forum members who get 70K out of them.

 

I'm new to the G35 world and trying to figure this suspension stuff out. So I've been searching.
I have a 2003 sedan, it seems like none of the 2003's came with Sport Suspension/Struts, is that accurate?
I saw this: If you still want to lower your car but cost is a factor, one low cost solution is to replace your springs (This only applies to models that came with the sport-suspension package) with “unrevised” 350z springs since they have the same spring rate. Your drop will be on average, 1” around, with only a slight camber to the wheels. Your ride comfort will be the same as sport stock or only slightly affected. More details on how to obtain springs, install, etc, can be found in the Tech Area. (Note – you can still install the 350Z springs with your non-sport struts but it will cause premature wear on them and your performance will suffer)

So does that mean I can't use 350z springs on a stock 2003 sedan without sports suspension? or does it mean I need to use revised springs? I am leaning toward the coupe/z drop. Nothing too aggressive, just wan't to reduce that wheel gap a bit.

Thanks.

 

You can still use the springs, but the struts will wear out quicker.
But if you can get the Z's shocks and struts along with it they'll be fine.
Or, if you only get springs, you could ride on the stock shocks until they wear out, then buy new ones that are for the Z.

 

Awesome. Thank you.

 

+1 to NFSP G35's post. Ran on Z springs & shocks for years without any issues.

 

Wth so Infiniti still gonna offer the g37 sedan for awhile and gonna call it q40 for 2015? Saw that on there website. So now theres q40, q50 and q60 lol

 

does this need any extra parts, or is this all I will need to attach the z-tube to my 2003 g35 sedan?

it says it doesn't come with "factory couplers", but don't I already have those. I'm in the process of trying to purchase this an a 5/16 plenum spacer, want to make sure I'm buying the right things. Told myself I wouldn't mod this car, it's been 72 hours and i'm already throwing money away on it.
