Hey guys
Got my OB 08 G35x back in November after spending months searching on the forums & just reading various threads. When I first got the car it would hesitate under low acceleration & brake more than expected when slowing down (felt like engine braking or a stuck brake pad) wasn't too concerned about it. But the car would also shut off randomly when coasting or parking (about once a week) and was hard to replicate which means the mechanic can't really do much. After about a month of trying to figure out what the prob was and cleaning the throttle bodies I found the bulletin that would fix my prob (ecu update) That search button is my friend!! Now I just need to find a cup holder insert & get the iPod cord. I have an 07 AT sedan cupholder insert I thought would fit but didn't. So I'm looking to get rid of it. I plan on tinting the windows, lowering springs and some wheels & blacking out the grille in the spring. Hopefully there will be some meets in my area (Toronto & GTA) once winter is done so I can meet other fellow G35 owners.
I'm going to try and upload some iPhone pics not sure if I'll be able to upload on the iPad.

Thx
