Hey guys,
So thanks to the feedback from the forums, i got myself a low mileage 2008 G37. For other people looking for used cars, here's what I paid and what I got. Maybe help some to bargain the price:
2008 Black Sport G37 6sp coupe, 13000 miles
No nav, no tech,
$33000 OTR
Now i have a couple questions for the other G37s owners out there:
-I dont see a USB port in the center console beside the AV input, is it somewhere else, if not, is it hard to install one?
-Im in norcal, does anyone have experience buying/installing/getting installed the OEM wing? I currently have the silver one which is fine for now, but I really like the color matched one.
Thanks!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club
The 2008 G37 did not come with USB. You have ipod and A/V connections in the console and compact flash in the dash if you have the full NAV/Music box configuration
Check with tunerzstore.com to see if Mike can still get a OEM for you as Infiniti has stopped selling them. Else you can get an aftermarket one and have it painted and installed.

Thanks guys,
I'm trying hard not to just find excuses to drive it. Thanks for the info on the audio, i've been looking more into it and seem to have a better grasp of what was standard on the 08 g37s now. For those also wondering, i found this website useful:

not sure the accuracy of it, but seemed pretty good to me.

Ya!
Welcome to the club. It is hard not to drive it!
If you are having problems with sitting up high, or near the windshield, the seats lower drastically with the buttons on the left hand side for driver and right side for passenger. Made for a more comfortable drive for myself.
You also have more cup holders then you will ever use. If any thing gets in the center console cup holders you can remove the inner piece. Just lift up on the back of it. It is seperate from the rest of the holder itself. You don't have to use a key anytime on the car. Just keep the keys fob with you, or near you. There is also a door lock on your gas door. The car has to be unlocked for it to be unlocked.
Did you get a cargo net in the trunk? If not, I know where to get one from Nissan in Texas for $31 dollars + shipping. It is the same as a 370z's.
Sport model eh? So big brakes?!!
Your sport mode is 2 modes. You will notice if the car is in drive, and you push the stick over to sport mode the dash will display 'DS' mode. If you punch the gas the car will act like it is in Drive but the gears will go up in RPMs to get you more juice! If you push the stick over into + and -, displaying DS mode and push the stick up once, this puts the car into Manual mode. Manual mode means you have to use the stick to shift gears, and you can redline the car. When you redline the car it will not shift. However, if the car is in DS mode, it will shift, not manaul mode.
Pulling on the padel shifters around the steering wheel will put the car into Manual mode. It will also not shift then. If the car doesn't see you are playing around enough in either of these modes it will go back to regular D. Your A/C will also adjust for foot and head temperature. If you leave your lights on AUTO on your left steering column stick, the lights will cut off and on when they feel like it, especially if you go under shady trees for a second. And if you think its a race car, you are only experiencing a ECU controlled car which only allows certain HP in certain gears such as 1st being 182 max hp. But you are putting anywhere between 285-300hp to the wheels.
Oh and those Wheels are slotted to fit your big brakes, and they are $450 from a website called http://www.allfactorywheels.com/
But i'm sure you read the Owners Manual too, so.
Oh and the sunroof adjusts 3 different ways, and you can stop it halfway during opening.
And the car looks BadAss with the sunroof up! hahahah.
