Like the G35 sedan a lot!

[szh]

Hi, all.

Well, I took my Q in for some service work today (transmission work ala Dennis's recommendations ) and the loaner I got is a 2002 G35 - the sedan. I like it one whole heck of a lot already!

The car is very nimble; the acceleration is definitely a kick in the pants; and the steering precision is just great. I gotta concentrate a bit more on my driving with that tiny steering wheel though!

I have not had as much fun in a car since I sold my RX-7 and 300ZX Turbo years ago! I think that the G35 sedan or coupe may be in my garage in the future ... possibly sooner rather than later!

Forgot to mention the best part ... the dealer did not start my car work in time today, so I get to keep the G35 for another day!

Wish it was Friday today ...

Which Bay Area dealership are you at? Peninsula? Are you doing the full pan drop and adding synth fluid?

I have my work done at Frontier Infiniti in San Jose (I think they own Peninsula Infiniti too.)

I am doing (had done yesterday actually):

a. Full transmission flush with Mobil 1 synth ATF.b. Pan drop with screen and gasket replacement.c. Second full flush and fill with Mobil 1 synth ATF.

I bought 28 quarts of Mobil 1 ATF from Pep Boys for this work. From what I could tell from posts here, it takes about 14 quarts to do a proper flush and the transmission mechanic at Frontier (Benjie) agreed.

Benjie did the transmission replacement on my Q some months ago. Although he thought I was overdoing it with the two flushes, he said that he would have no problems following my instructions! Good 'Nuff. I also liked the fact that he has won four of the last twelve "Technician of the Month" awards at Frontier Infiniti, according to the plaques in the service area.
