What's up everyone! Just thought I'd introduce myself, the name's Derek, I'm 18 and I live in Ohio. I did own a 2004 Nissan Maxima, but unfortunately I totaled it last month in a fairly bad accident, but everyone was okay so that's all that matters! I made a good amount of money off of my car, so I decided to upgrade. A few weeks ago I purchased my 2003 Infiniti g35 sedan, unfortunately it's not a manual, or a coupe, like I wanted. oh well, it's still an awesome car. Anyway, got my first speeding ticket today, so it's a good way to break in the new car... not really, but let's stay positive... can't wait to get to know you all!

 

jeez that maxima... glad to hear everyone was okay, good luck with the G and welcome

 

Damn! Glad you're okay. Way to stay positive about everything and welcome.

 

wow glad everyone made it out ok... if your going to speed invest in a good radar detector. i hope you dont race on the street and keep it on the track.

any mods planned?

 

wow that looked like a nasty accident, glad to hear everyone was ok. Welcome to the G fam! I just joined myself and i love it!

 

welcome

 

Ouch, that looks like a nasty accident! Good luck with the G.

 

I have a Cobra radar detector, but I wanted to learn to law for the radar types in Ohio first, before I put it in. As for mods, nothing yet, but suggestions are always welcome!

 

are you going for looks? performance? sound?

how much can you spend?

 

Nothing specific, just anything to make the car unique. And probably not much, I learned my lesson with the Maxima, I put 2k into it, and crashed it, got nowhere near my moneys worth out of those parts.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome Derek.

Take it from someone who sped all the time and got tickets left and right... you DO NOT want to lose your driver's license man.

I went a whole year without it, due yourself the biggest favor and keep it cool.

Also... locate the VDC button, make sure it's on, and forget it exists.

 

+1. If this is your first rwd car, would be pretty careful with that vdc. The better your throttle control, the less it'll kick in. You can actually get a little throttle steer before the vdc cuts in if you are very careful, think of it like a learning aid. It only seriously cuts off your power if you manhandle your throttle at the wrong time.

 

Rare color you have there, glad everybody was ok, happy modding

 

It is my first RWD car, but no worries, I do know how to control the kick (for the most part) because i've driven RWD a lot. I messed around with the G35 with the VDC off when nobody was around to get a feel for the car, and now it's staying on.
