Actually, G35's are what all cars wish they were. It was just the retard Infiniti salesman that was driving it. Not a clue how to utilize it's 260 hp. Even less of a clue as to put it's BMW-beating suspension to use.

He decided to beat me up while I was driving my wife's '99 F-150 (wish it was a Lightning!) that is V6 powered. Well, to make a long story short, he got beat going through a couple turns and I hung right with him (within a couple car lengths) when the road straightened out.

Had I been in my modded 240 SX, I would have blown him into the weeds with my little four cylinder. It is unfortunately sitting in my parents' driveway due to a brake system that refuses to purge the air from itself.

Anyway, it made me want to show the salesman how to drive such a vehicle and not get embarrassed anymore by Houses on Wheels.

Repo Man,Try changing the Brake Master Cylinder, air can be sucked in from the rear seal on the cylinder.

Whoa, that's really gonna suck if I have to change the master cylinder. That may be it, but we'll see what Firestone says.

Any idea on the cost of a master cylinder?

Not in US dollars, but approx $400-$500 Aussie.You don't always need Genuine, as a lot of aftermarket cylinders are from the genuine source & about 1/2 the price.Do some checking & you may be pleasantly surprised.

Well, it did have to do with the subject. Had I been in my 240, I would have smoked the G35. Point being that if you have 260hp and a world class chassis/suspension and can't beat a truck by much (and not at all in the turn) you will get hammered by the modded 240. It makes sense if you just read it again.

See the post in the 240 section called "240 drama" to see what my dumbass did with the brakes...:alcoholic

Didn't know cars had a sexual orientaion;) I live in West Hollywood and there are LOTS of Gay people living here. I see mostly Porsches, Mercedes, BMWs and even Ferraris (I've see more Ferraris than I have seen G35s). So I would say that from my research, the cars I just mentioned are the real "Gay" cars (esp Porsche).
