Brakes sux on my 05 Sedan! At 30K miles I need new rears & my wife doesn't drive the car hard.I used a spring out of a ball point pen to replace the one in the cup holder.I bent both ends out, works great!!kmckis1029 wrote:the thing is i want to talk to the dealer about changing my brakes to the 06 g35x brakes, some recent minor rattles and sweaks (front shocks, sunroof, and back door), i have a broken plastic back seat clip, and i want my cupholder spring replaced... im still under warranty and the nissan place wont do warranty stuff...
Very cool!!! Initially, I had gone to Infiniti to get a price on just the cup holder and they said I would have to get the compartment too.....$200++ Of course, they had no springs....I use a small pick & stick it in one end of the pen spring and pull it straight, then do the other end.kmckis1029 wrote:just did the pen spring mod on my lunch break... and my cup holder now works perfectly... thanks! one less thing to do at the dealer...

All miles on regular 87 octane by the way.
Still runs great!

With 60k miles and figuring an average 20MPG that comes to approximately using 3000 gallons of regular gasoline. At $.30 a gallon cheaper than 93 octane I figure I've saved $900.00 in 2 1/2 years of owning my G 35.
Boy ten thousand miles sure went quick.
And so did the value of my 401k

Another milestone today. #16joe603 wrote:Man! Congrats! I'm at a whopping 12k with my 2009.
Got it out Saturday and drove it to Tupelo, MS to the auto museum there. It was good for it to have a few hours of 80mph on the clock. It makes me nervous to head out like that in a car that basically sits in the garage. I keep it maintained, but it is 17 years old.biggie wrote:Drive it more^ and you can catch up with my G. I'm at 56k miles on my '03, but it keeps going up quickly.
I know the feeling. I have 2 cars that are 19 years old, one with about 190k on the chassis and a turbo installed. Both sit for a week or 2 at a time, any long trip makes me nervous and I carry tools for those trips usually.370Z/28 wrote:Got it out Saturday and drove it to Tupelo, MS to the auto museum there.

All our tax dollars are spent on Police and keeping people in jail. This once was a beautiful city. Now it is nothing but blight and boarded up buildings. I actually live in a small town called Piperton right outside of Shelby County. All the decent people have fled the city. Really sad.
