2005 g35
Hi All. Newbie owner here.
Just got my G35 last month. COUPE, MT, 141K, Full Loaded(?), Stock Everything (i think); no spoiler, etc..
I live in SoCal; Moved here almost 8 years ago from Columbus, OH (Go Buckeyes!), but born and raised in NYC.
I'll be looking to buy mods on ebay and possible from anyone selling them here.
I do my own mechanic work (although, Nissans are a PITA from experience, but I still enjoy it as I do Toyotas), so I do appreciate the DIY stickies.
I own 2 Toyota Celicas (1999 GT hatchback and 1998 GT Convertible) and am swapping a 3.5L V6 2GFRE engine into the hatch, so hopefully I can get that done by 2018. (the 98 is just a spare.)
I also own a Toyota Sienna, but plan to sell it and get myself a 2012+ Honda Odyssey (family car)
At the moment, I'm trying to figure out the Navi (I heard from the previous owner that my car was fully loaded).
I was looking at the Japan model--Skyline 350GT.
They can watch TV. I was wondering if I just change the panel that the Navi can function? (I wanna watch something besides the navi; maybe plug in my PS4)
I'm also interested in getting a stock rear back up camera since my model year doesn't have one (unless an aftermarket exists that is just like the stock version.
I think my sunroof is not working properly--once I open, it's hard to close as I have to tap the close button several times; does it mean the motor is totally out? or the control panel? or I heard there's a way to "reset" it?
I do want a spoiler/wing. I saw the Q50 one, but dunno if it can be attached so...I guess I'll find the answer here.
Issues/Concerns I have at the moment:
1. Oil Pan minor leak (how hard is this?).
2. Tire pressure lights keeps popping up...is it the temp? But I sometimes hear some consistent vibration on the highway dunno which side yet
3. Sunroof is acting up.
4. Driver door handle broke/or missing. How are those Chrome aftermarket handles?
5. My A/C heater is acting weird..sometimes I don't want to use the outside vent and click the internal circulation, but then it changes the mode? wth. Broken? or it's just automated like that?
I'll post pics up soon, as I just registered (from work) and don't have the pics in this comp.
Anyway, nice to "meet" you all.

I don't think there was ever a backup camera option for the G, the "clean" installs usually involve a DD stereo swap with one that has a backup cam option.
The sunroof issue is probably just the switch itself, I've never disassembled mine but it's probably the same as door switches, completely disassemble, clean with contact cleaner, lube the button contact with silicone grease and reassemble.
Spoiler you will need a stock or aftermarket FOR the G probably. Stock ones from other models almost never fit right without a lot of fabrication work.
Oil pan leak is a minor and easy to fix issue if it's the LOWER oil pan, if it's the upper it's a time consuming process of using a top rail motor support and removing the front subframe connector, and a LOT of other bolts.
TPMS issue I would first have tires balanced and checked for damage on the wheel hub pickups but it's probably just the batteries going out and will need to be replaced eventually.
Driver door handle, ebay a used one.
The AC can be finicky about certain settings and whether the AC compressor is running or fresh air vents are open so it's probably working as intended.
