Any other G35 sedan owners experiencing popping sounds from road vibrations and rattle sounds from the bass in the speakers? This sound is coming from the front passenger door. I will be taken the car to the dealer soon and will talk to the service manager about it. But I thought it would be good to check with my NICO friends 1st.Kev...

It sounds like a blown speaker. Do you turn it up all the time?

Made an apointment for Thursday to take care of the break wire recall and the door rattle. I hope they loan me another G35 or the M45 (if they loan them) I might have to swallow my pride an drive a front wheel drive I35. Which isn't really all that bad.Kev...

I'm taking mine for the brake lamp switch and an oil change. I'm also going to have them check out my brakes for irregular wear. I'm hoping to get a M45 loaner, but will probably get an I35 again. I would love to drive that V8 powered 45.

Fred is correct, there is a tech bulletin regarding installing a kit for both front doors which consist of foam blocks that go in between the door sheet metal and panel. The kit alos contains a foam wrapping that goes around the cables that go from the door handle to the latch. DEFINITELY have them check the window regulator bolts. The regulators on the G-35's have numerous bolts that hold the regulator assembly to the door sheet metal. Seen quite a few of the vehicles with that concern. It only take one of the bolts to be slightly loose, and you have a marble in a tin can sound when stereo volumes are played at a high level. Hope this may help you and enjoy your G-35!
