Picked up a fresh G35 to sit next to the Cobra!
So I'm new to the G35 community, but certainly not the car community.
I picked up a stock Cobra a couple years ago when I turned 18..which slowly became an all out race car. Since the Cobra became less practical to DD [no AC, no heat, no defrosters, no windshield wipers, no power steering/brakes, no radio, only one seat, chokeless race carburetor, A1000 fuel pump, etc] I decided to pick up an 04 G35 and I couldn't be happier with it! These two cars couple be more different from one another.
Well here is my Infiniti
She likes to cough up an attitude with me sometimes though...
In a nutshell.. it has been a great car, clean inside and out, girls absolutely love it, and I've put 4000+ miles on it in the last month since I bought it, and could not have been more comfortable doing it.
and just to share with you.... here is my other car.
The switch panel is completely functional... that's actually how the car starts and runs
When I say I built the entire car myself... I mean it ENTIRELY. Every nut, bolt, bracket... I actually designed and built the entire electrical system too [sold the ECU and stock harness] and I built the motor myself when I was 19
Two quick videos

Here they are together (Cobra still gets the garage,lol)
Sorry to dump so many pictures of the Cobra... but I have a lot more than I do of the Infiniti, and I figured I would share something different [since I'm sure you guys see enough G35s on here, lol]
A little bit about myself... I love/appreciate all sorts of cars and working/building them. Fittingly enough, I'm now an aerospace engineer and get to spend my days designing & engineering aircraft components. I recently started a composite business as well, I manufacture carbon fiber parts and looking into expanding other areas as well.I'm also a musician and love to travel [as I mentioned... 4k miles in less than a month, lol].
Anyways, you guys have beautiful G35s and I hope being on here doesn't cause me to spend too much money on mine!

Drag racing
BECAUSE BOOBIES ARE AWESOME.
Still nowhere close to being done with it...when I have the time sometime this spring I will be putting in a full cage/fuel cell.
Lol, like I said, I'm always traveling! I went to the NASCAR Homestead race, EDC in Orlando, Turkey Rod Run in Daytona, St. Augustine several times, I have a long commute to work, etc, lol.

It's just a lot of hard work and patience!
To be honest, myself. Since I was a child I took it upon myself to learn things. I remember when I was 9 years old, I calculated the final drive ratio of a NASCAR Cup car by simply using a little 1:64 diecast and no calculator [hand calculations, FTW]. Also, with the amount of information available on the internet now, it makes it a lot easier.
If you are interested in seeing a lot more pictures of the building process... here are two of my build threads.
