Moderately happy new G owner

I'm honestly more impressed with the g35 community than the car itself! Have an 03 coupe 6mt with sport package upgrade--power is great but handling is sub par vs a 3 series or wrx, imho. Nonetheless, I've gone through this site extensively and have found it completely useful in the past few months. Every newb who's willing to learn is in for a treat!

yes im new to The NIssan fam too. I always had subies and hondas. i love this website im on it as much time as im at work. ive only had my G for like 3 months and already know how to do a lot of work and know of a lot of problems these cars have that make me kinda sad and feel like a sucker for buying this car, I will say this car is sexy and way ahead of its time in my mind. the body is sexy and the power is there... I just need to put this car on a diet and make sure i fix or figure out a way to deal with oil consumption. GL guy

You're spot on with the weight. Just too heavy to handle properly. I haven't noticed any oil issues yet, just a lot of gas consumption!

Yea I keep toying with the idea of ripping out most the interior to lose weight and save gas. Haha why is this car so damn good looking? I wouldn't even think twice about selling it otherwise!
