just got my g35 (:

I just got a 2003 sedan. Has 205k miles crystal clean. Got it from the original owner, he is having health issues and can't enjoy the car anymore. Pulls hard shifts great doesn't burn any fluid only issues I can pick at is it pulls to the right just like a 350z I test drove years ago, is this common? Also I know the suspension is supposed to be stiff but should you be able to feel most bumps? I live in Ohio and our roads are terrible. Also if anyone can tell me anything I should check out id appreciate it. Looking forward to being an active member here.

That's high mileage for sure, but if it was well cared for hopefully it's good!

And as to the allignment issue, there's something wrong, it shouldn't pull hard in either direction. If you're not mechancially inclined just take it into a shop and have a front end inspeciton done, let them know that it's pullign to the right.

Before you do, have a close look at the tires, if it seems like they're worn unevenly or excessivly worn, you'd be best to replace them first, as a shop will just point to them immediately anyways, and it'll cost you more in the long run.

Congrats on the car!

As stated above me, have a shop inspect the vehicle and address any issues now so you can actually enjoy the car.

Best of luck

Its not a hard pull its a slight one to the right when applying brakes at low speed. A 350z I test drove with 35k did the same thing. Its been very well taken care of I just suspect its something stupid like control arm bushings. I wont be driving it much til spring so I have plenty of time to replace anything that needs it.

Car looks very good for the mileage! I'm sure it has been maintained just as well!
