Good Post.
My 2007 G35S Sedan has 156,000. Driven like it's suppose to be driven everyday. I've had it since 17,000 miles. No major issues. Recently, painted the grill, wrapped the chrome around the windows, and had the stock sport wheels powder coated. The wheels look great. (kinda kicking myself as to why i didn't do it sooner).

Just out of curiosity, if you've already changed it, how long did your first clutch last you?

Around 110,000. The clutch was still somewhat good but the throwout bearing was bad so I changed everything all at once.

I'm assuming you replaced the fly at the same time as the clutch, so dId you stay with stock replacements for them, or did you go with an aftermarket setup? If, which one?

How have you found the 'chatter', is it quite noticable at idle in neutral?

Good to hear these cars can go quite a while. I bought my 08 sedan June of last year with 49000 miles and only have 56000 since then. I'm weird when it comes to my vehicles, i have an 01 F250 7.3 diesel that i bought in 03 with 25000 miles and within a week had it on 8 inches of lift and 38 inch tires. Since then i now have 106000 miles which is just broken in for a diesel. I only drive my G when it's nice out.....kinda of feel like an old man and his "special" car i guess lol. It's all good as i'm not worried about mileage with my 7.3 and it helps that i only have a 10 mile round trip everyday, i know it's not good to drive that little with my 7.3 but i get her out once and a while and beat the snot out of her....which she likes a lotttt lol. Other than that i love my G and love when i do drive it.

My car just put down 308HP to the wheels at 166,000. Car runs so smooth. About it hit 170,000 in a couple weeks.
