finally after the hoops i had to jump through.. i dropped off my car at infiniti in cerritos to replace my engine.

Dru/street image took off my cats and headers.. i took off the grounding..
and the plenum spacer.. oo.. i asked them to remove it for me and return it to me... i hope its all there..

im saddd.. i miss my baby ..

they gave me an 07 g35 sedan.. sure its quick, but its just doesnt feel right.. =(

 

To bad you couldn't have kicked in some extra cash and had them install a 3.7, then you wouldn't need the spacer and stuff! What, it takes them a week or so to R&R the heart? Good Luck! Seriously!!

 

i wonder if thats even possible...

but.. then im sure it wont sound as beautiful as my car with headers, hiflo cat, and exhaust together.. its a beautiful sound..
theres NO sound with the g35 sedan.. *silence*...

 

i got my car back and it feels different.

pro- the revs are much smoother.. like butter baby!
con- the car feels weaker. It requires more energy to get into first gear without stalling..

any one else with the same problem?

 

i'm in the process of getting my engine replaced at cerritos infiniti as well.. did they tell you to remove headers too? they couldn't just install the aftermarket headers to your new engine? i really don't wanna take off my headers.....

 

my car went in for routine 10000 mile checkup and all that stuff, i drove the rental for like 6 days, and then got back in my MT, and it felt weaker, i think it may be more of a mental thing than a physical thing...

 

feels weaker cuz you were driving a new sedan

 

it's all in the head

glad to hear you got your car back John!

 

well.. im still considering whether to keep the car.. or put the headers and cat back on...

=T

thanks wally!

 

sell me your car

 

wat happened to ur car wally?

 

the M3? It's at home right now. I'm driving my bro's G35 since I had it washed today for the caravan and BBQ tomorrow.

What I want to do is get rid of the 07 Si I have as well... Gonna be trading it in within 6 months or so. The G35 and the G37 are on the list of cars I plan on trading it for.

 

thats the thing.. theres no car that really grab me..

i test drove the 335 and it didnt impress me. The g35 sedan however, DID.. but the car still handles like a boat.

so theres nothing thats really perfect for me..

i might have to just wait for a lil while.. =T

 

then I guess it's GTR time!

 

I was at Cerritos Infiniti today. They said that they had just done two engine replacements. My car is on the 2nd test for oil consumption.
