My '05 G35 Coupe
Let’s get this out of the way first:
http://img240.echo.cx/img240/5928/proof12cf.th.jpg http://img240.echo.cx/img240/900/proof29xd.th.jpg Ok so I got a new G35 Coupe 6MT Silver back in August 22nd just before Uni started. I had to have a car so I got this which had 48 miles on the clock. I was NOT happy about that. I loved the car, don’t get me wrong, but I wanted a really new one. Not only was this not 100% new, but I had some issues with it. It had some rattles, and the seller sold it to me with 1 or 2 scratches which I identified when I replaced the license plate (too late). This is her: http://img185.echo.cx/img185/4191/bforenews14tw.th.jpg http://img185.echo.cx/img185/7196/bforenews34sb.th.jpg Well after 3800 miles done in 6 month, I got myself a new and final G35. This time its Black, and I will keep this forever like I will with my 85 Honda prelude (sentimental value): http://img125.echo.cx/img125/3302/pict00299th.th.jpg http://img125.echo.cx/img125/5107/pict00280ox.th.jpg Well, I sure did use the previous G for a short time, but that does not mean I did not have fun with her (check the thread on rear tires): http://img19.echo.cx/img19/7727/exginahtires10id.th.jpg http://img19.echo.cx/img19/6242/exginahtires29vh.th.jpg My new 05 baby was scheduled to come this Friday, but today I was getting ready to go to class, when my Cell Phone rang. I answered, and well, SHE WAS HERE! Good thing I was dressed, as that helped me to get to the dealership faster! I jumped on the silver girl and drove up to Infiniti. http://img277.echo.cx/img277/3504/exginah12ys.th.jpg As I walked away from her towards the dealership... I looked to my right. There she was! The prettiest girl I had ever seen! http://img99.echo.cx/img99/8840/new43sn.th.jpg I get all hyped and jog my way into the dealership. So we sit down, run the numbers, sign here, sign there... then call the insurance for a VIN change... Here comes the long part where he fills the paperwork. So I asked for the keys while he got all the papers together. I got the keys and headed over to her to see her from inside: She had only 8 miles on delivery, and I asked the dealer to give it to me all wrapped just as it came out from the boat so that she gets washed with love from day 1! What better way to start a long term relationship?: http://img19.echo.cx/img19/4894/8miles5zs.th.jpg http://img268.echo.cx/img268/5823/new55mz.th.jpg http://img268.echo.cx/img268/921/new61tz.th.jpg I head back in to do the final signatures and stuff. Anyway, my beauty had to be test driven so that they could give her to me. While I sealed the deal, she was taken to the Mobile 1 gas station a few meters away and filled up! I went outside and waited for her to come back. She came within 1 minute of me waiting and was parked right in front of my previous girl. http://img81.echo.cx/img81/9114/newnprev33fl.th.jpg I got my things together, put my car cover in my new girl’s trunk and that is how I got my new Blk/Blk G35 Coupe 6MT. I am SOO happy with her. She is perfect! She was "born" March 2005, I was born March also (not 05 obviously)... and well she married me May 23rd (today). We are a happy couple. I wanted to have the honey moon (12 hour car wash ritual) tomorrow, but Zaino products wont come till tomorrow (I thought I was getting her Friday remember?). |
LOL.....nice story, lets hope there is no divorce :P
I really lke the look of the car, the rear lights are a bit big for my liking but the rest is great - nice silhouette :D We don't get these cars in Australia, so what are the specs? |
Very nice I love the new rims but do my eyes deceive me or are there no gold Brembo Calipers under them? Oh and Dingo it's basically a much much nicer 350Z track.
|
Nice car Demon......does the 20 hp makes any difference?? (u can tell me when it's properly broken in)
|
here's the specs:
http://www.infiniti.com/content/mode...,75219,00.html |
SPECS:
Engines & Power Standard Engine 3.5L 298 hp V6 Horsepower 298 @ 6400 RPM Torque (lb-ft) 260 @ 4800 RPM Transmission Coupe 6MT 6-Speed Manual Overdrive Std. Fuel Economy City (mpg) 19 Highway (mpg) 26 (MY ASS! The way I drive, I did 8-12 on the 04) Comfort & Convenience Sunroof Opt. Air Conditioning Std. Power Windows Std. Power Door Locks Std.

Safety Airbags Driver Passenger Side ABS Brakes Std. Traction Control Std. Stability Control Std. My options... Premium Package, 19" wheels, NAV. Dont like spoiler and dont like front chin. Well, there wont be divorces now. I am 100% satisfied. I mean, she was born the same Month I was :mrgreen: she was ment to be mine. Besides that, my Prelude is 1985, so 2005 and 1985 thats a great match. I did this upgrade because the 05's interior is now Livable. The 04 is a great ride, but I cant think of living with the 04's interior forever. Quote:

I'll also Update the pics whenever my Extra Zaino products and Microfiber towels come. |
I would sneek over to the dealer and switch them with the old ones. :D
|
^^bring over a nice jack and start right up on looking for one on the lot :lol: :lol: :lol:
nice car Demon you better give us some great videos! as soon as the break in period is over :wink: |
Now all you need are the following:
Crawford Plenum, UR Pulley, Stillen Headers + Catback Exhaust, JWT Flywheel I'll leave the suspension choices for u :wink: and :mrgreen: Still very jealous tho, but very happy for u at the same time. |
awesome rims! they fit the car perfectly!
this is the most passioned relate I ever read in this forum... LMFAO |
Thnx for the comments guys =D Well this past weekend I ordered a new 5.1 MP camera to replace my 3.2 (quality, as you can see, is not that great). Along with that, I ordered some more microfiber towels and Zaino + P12S wax... I thought I would get the car Friday and now that I got it today, I have nothing lol. This week up to saturday will be tough. I have to go walking to University 1.5 miles away cuz I cant drive Ginah. She doesnt have the license plates on and I wouldnt want her to sit on the sun the way she is right now. Well, all in all, Saturday I'll be up at 5am to start washing and waxing and all that stuff. I will then post some pictures of the products used and steps taken. Living in florida, loving cars, and having a G35 previously made me get a lot of experience in detailing... now to keep a Black one clean will be a hard job. Lets see how I do.

^ yup, answer is 04 has more torque, this has more HP... From what I read, the 04 might be a little better at launch, but then the 05 will catch up. Hoping this is true or at least have the difference be unnoticeable cuz that, plus no brembos, would dissapoint me a little... anyway, I will end up modding it a little someday I suppose.
