Talking New 04 G35 Coupe Owner here~!!

Hello everyone~~~!!
I just picked up my G coupe today~! YA~~~
it's not as fast as the 02 M3 which i almost brought, but this G coupe sure is got a lot of advantage compares to the M3.
it's got warranties, lesser mileage, nicer interior, much more problem free, and the most important part is.... the last owner took great great care of it.(he is very nice 50 years old man)

however, after driving around whole day in this G coupe, i already found a couple thing i don’t' really like about it....... first the key, it looks 80% like the nissan ones...way~~ too cheap. Then the 6MT gearbox, it's just not as smooth as my last car(RSX-S) or it's just i haven’t got use to it yet.., and also the clutch point... god.... it's SUPER high.. i was embarrassed that i have to re-start my car couple times today......

but overall, it stills a great car, i really love it... and hopefully i will get use to the shifting & the clutch point soon.. .




Here is a pic i took with my cellphone today.

Congrats on the new ride JJKK. Sounds like you've got a keeper that was well looked after.
Don't worry about the key...no biggie, but the tranny may benefit from an oil change.
While you're at it, have the diff fluid changed out too. It's cheap insurance, and very beneficial.


There is a seatbelt height adjustment on the B-pillar if that will help.

Welcome to 'Driver and enjoy the new ride.

thanks for the info, i will try to get the oil change and the diff. fluid changed soon.
however, the engagement point of the clutch REALLY bothers me A LOT~!! I just don't get why infinifi would make it this way....... but i guess i'll just have to get use to it..

and about the seatbel, i dont see any height adjustmenton the b-pillar....
