Talking My "new" 4x4

HAI GUYS! I'm new here at the site and I just want to introduce myself.

I just got my second G35 sedan (2004) last week and I'm planning of keeping it for a bit so I'll be hanging around here to learn from you guys.

I sold my 2000 Honda Civic SiR so buy a G35. Well at least that was the plan. I got this 2003 G35 for what I sold my SiR for so I think it was a good deal. But the car was driven by a younger kid that I don't trust at all. (Yes, I only bought it because it was cheap and I didn't even do any research. So that's my bad.) So a week after I traded it with a Chyrsler 300 and it was okay but I really wanted a G. A week after that I traded it again with my current G35 sedan. =)) So yeah, I owned 4 cars in less than a month. LOL.

about the car:

It's 2004 Infiniti G35 Sedan with almost 80k miles.

the good:

no rust. mint. low milage. and again, mint.

the bad:

- front wheel bearing is going soon.
- CD is stuck at the player.

Plans:

Nothing special really. All my plans atm are all aesthetics.

- Black out the grill.
- Install coilovers next spring. (no point of installing it now close to winter)
- I'll sticker bomb the hood or trunk lid.
- Get the stock 19's and paint it matte black.
- Vinyl wrap the roof with matte black.
- replace the damn stock HU,
- AND I might replace the cluster because I'm not used to miles.

First and only mod I did after I got her was to change the Fahrenheit to Celsius. hahaha worked well actually.

QUESTIONS I'll be looking for answers over the winter are:

- Is it even worth it to change the cluster to KM's? and is it hard to look for a used one?

- are these reputable? I mean will it last long? : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-350Z-...sories&vxp=mtr

- and where the hell can I get a RAZO RA89??? hahaha I know it's phased out.. but do you guys recommend anything close to that?

Enough with the talk and I'll post pictures now...

welcome. as for the coilovers, you pay for what you get. I recommend doing some coilover research.
