New Sedan Owner; 56k beware

So, I searched the entire country and I found ONE car that met my requirements. I was searching for a 2005-2006 G35 Sedan 6MT, Ivory Pearl, Stone interior, and factory navigation. I finally found her, and at what I believe is a reasonable price.

I previously owned an '04 6MT Coupe (Black Obsidian / Graphite), pictured below. However, I sold her one year ago in an effort to pay off some debt and buy a house. Well, I recently returned from a deployment from Iraq with some paid off debt and bought my house. Now, I know that its time for a much better ride.

Here she is...

2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan 6MT
Ivory Pearl / Stone
Aero, Premium, Nav
Eibach Sportlines
Custom exhaust w/ Magnaflow muffler (pretty loud, but I like it)
Stillen intake
Only 27k miles!!!!!

I flew out to Oakland, California this past Saturday to pick her up and immediately drove all the way back to Phoenix.

I've already installed an MREV2 and I'm debating on installing some Kinetix HFC's that I have sitting in the garage... I also debadged the Infiniti and G35 from the rear (only the Mt Fuji remains, debating on removing that one).

In the very near future, I'm also going to be blacking out my headlight housings, removing the amber turn signal for clear lenses, installing clear sidemarkers, and thinking about painting my grill black and leaving the chrome Mt Fuji.

Well, enough of my babbling, here are some pictures and a couple of videos of how the exhaust sounds.

Enjoy!!!

That's a pretty car man. Good pick. I was also picky about the G35 I bought. I wanted it to be a black on black 04-06 X model...

Very nice, congrats on the ride. If you remove the Mt Fuji you'll have two holes in your trunk (its not like the coupe), so you'd have to get your trunk repainted....looks sick IMO.

Did you get 360+ on 1 tank of gas??...noiiiice. Must have been all highway. I'm lucky if I get 330.



Hit me up up if you want some clear corners, I've got an extra pair laying around.

Looks like the Mt Fuji is staying, then. Haha. No biggie.

And, yes. That is from a fresh tank of gas. That's from the last leg of my trip, Beaumont, CA to Goodyear, Az. According to the Navi, I was averaging 27.7 MPG on that trip.

I'll PM you about the lights.

Thanks.

Yeah, I saw that on AZ350Z. But, Saturdays are dedicated to watching college football. Go Georgia Tech!!!! Hahaha.

It'd be a fun drive, but also sounds like WAYYYY too many cars. And, cops will be out in full force this weekend, given what happen in Scottsdale this past Saturday night.........

Thanks for the invite, though.

Oh, and I got the car for $19,900. Not a smoking deal, but given the overall condition of the car, WELL worth it.

They're all right. I don't really notice any difference in ride quality.

Updated pictures:

I blacked out my grille, added some clearcorners, and blacked out my headlight housings AND cleared the turn signal.
