My '05 G35 Coupe

[DeMoN]

Let’s get this out of the way first:



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:



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):



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):



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.



As I walked away from her towards the dealership... I looked to my right. There she was! The prettiest girl I had ever seen!



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?:





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.



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
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
We don't get these cars in Australia, so what are the specs?

[T-Bird]

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.

Well, there wont be divorces now. I am 100% satisfied. I mean, she was born the same Month I was 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.

Ehhmm... dont look there, better look like higher LOL. Yeah those asses removed the brembos to make the interior better. They did do interior much better, but the lack of brembos SUCKS ASS! I read on the forums that the Infiniti ones were just as good and that brembos would only make a difference at the track... LIES! I know the engine will become faster, but the brakes wont get better. Im going to have to earn some money and put the brembos back.

Sorry to say that the "HP sells cars, Torque wins races" applies. This has more HP, but 04's are torquier. I hope I dont feel a difference, but when the break in is done, Ill sure update =D

I'll also Update the pics whenever my Extra Zaino products and Microfiber towels come.

[T-Bird]

I would sneek over to the dealer and switch them with the old ones.

[SilviaEvo]

^^bring over a nice jack and start right up on looking for one on the lot
nice car Demon you better give us some great videos! as soon as the break in period is over

[5vz-fe]

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 and

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

[DeMoN]

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.

I should have taken some videos with the previous car. Man in 6 month I got 3.8k miles... and that was thanx to hurricanes that made me escape florida 2 times (one time to Ft Lauterdale and other one to Orlando). Now, I'll have to do this crap the long way. I can take pictures of the School's parking lot if you so desire =D actually, I need to film it as that was the best drift I have done so far and its too long to fit in 1 2 or maybe 3 pictures.

You seem to know your way around... me on the other hand, have no idea about brands and stuff. Living 19 years in South America only educated me about supercars and good cars in general... I never learned about upgrades. So when the time comes, hope you dont mind a PM or two

Yeah LOL... I really love cars as you can tell. My roomate keeps laughing at me buying great towels for the car and crappy ones for me. He also laughs when it rains and he sees me run to the car when rain stops to dry her lol.

Yeah, G35 (sedan) was the car I gonna buy until I totalled my 4Runner one rainy day dodging a freaking fox. So all my mod research went to waste.

read what DeMoN wrote, hes already answered that question. :roll:

[DeMoN]

^ 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.
