Thank you for accepting me. I've learned so much on these forums! This is my bone stock 2003 G35 w/Sport Package and Premium Package-127,571mi. Followed this lovely lady as it traveled with an Admiral that transferred from Hawaii to Newport News, VA

 

Nice G!

 

Is a doggie door G? If you've been reading through the forum you probably already know to get prepared to spend a decent amount of $$$ to start replacing almost al of the front bushings, sway bar endlinks, wheel bearings and so on. Welcome to the family, we hope you will enjoy your time here.

 

This one was and still is garage kept, thank god, Virginia weather is not good on cars. I replaced the pinholed stock radiator with an Aluminum one(so i lied a lil about bone stock i guess,sry), easy peasy after following advice here, absolutely no air in the system, good advice and glad i read it BEFORE the job. I got a Jim Wolf oil pan extension when it was on blow out sale this summer (before i got the car, lol) and added it with an extra quart with my first oil change. Wheel bearing and motor mounts are all replaced before i got it. Bushings appear to be all ok, in the front, where i checked, BUT my wife said she hears a crunchy squeak noise in the rear on occasion when going over speed bumps and such, that sounds like bushings to me! Ty for the heads up, i will be crawling through the forums over it. Of course since i was a kid with my Kyosho Optima 4×4 i always loved it when a part broke, its just a very good excuse to UPGRADE :-) So is there a good urathane kit?
I also replaced the rear amp (again using all advice and diagrams found here) and all speakers with Boston Acoustic and i repaired the typical 2 tombstone diodes on the pcb of the stock radio so i could keep it. I have a wicked hacked&cracked win-ce Pioneer dvd/gps, but i really dont need that anymore and the install kit price, am i right? Instead i added AUX and Bluetooth to the stock radio. Other than what i mentioned and new tires, pads, glove box cover, and some spray glue on the 2 peeling away door trim pieces the car has been solid and even more a joy than I ever could have expected or even dreamed.
I always wanted the coupe, its the sexiest thing ive seen besides my wife, but i've grown 'old man' fond of the sallon. I've owned 5 maximas and 2 sentras...none of them are anything like this, i am now completely spoiled. My twin brother had a 2003 g35 sedan and he and his wife traded it in on a 2018 Q50, they both agreed that they miss driving the '03 !
