1. You are more likley to get a ticket at night driving the G, and less likely to get the same ticket in the daytime, if your G is clean neat and sparkling----car is like eye-candy--cops tend to peruse the whole car before deciding to write you up or not.

2. You are more likely to get tailgated by other drivers driving too close to you as they admire the G, especially with the OEM exhaust.

3. You are more likely to get pulled over in the day time with an aftermarket exahust like Stillen Exhaust or Gredd Evo Exhaust, if you dare try to accelerate hard. Even if a cop is 5 cars behind you, they will come after you when they hear that impressive exhaust sound. These after market exahusts attract cops.

I have been pulled over 6 times (3 county, 2 city, i sheriff), and received just 1 ticket in the last 7 months. Time has come for me to drive my little nissan a little more than the G-35 Coupe---probably help in saving me miles and gas. My car is attracting a lot of cops since after I installed the mods in it. Very hard to drive car normally with the mods. I am getting really tired and mentally driained dealing with being pulled over al the time---too much stress--I am really tired of it.

My garage will now be my best museum. I am afraid of driving my car now because I don't know who is going to pull me over again, when I least expect---I am very afraid and confused--maybe time to sell the car or leave it to rust in my garage. I don't know yet---time will tell---I need to regain my nerves and my composure on how to drive like a normal person.

Everyone is more likely to get a ticket at night, less cars, more cops looking for DUI's.

I usually am not tailgated, and if I am, it's not for long. I brake check a lot.

I accellerate a lot, and as long as you're not breaking the speed limit, you shouldn't get pulled over.

I have been pulled over twice in the last 11 months that I have owned this car. Once I deserved it. Once was doing 65 in a 35. I wasn't accellerating, just driving too fast.

The other one was a few weeks ago, and I accellerated up to 35, and he ticketed me for 50 in a 35. He didn't use a speed measurment device, he said he saw me going about 50. That should be pretty easy to beat, I hope.

You are probably right. Mods are sweet in the car, but mods bring blue light and plenty of sweat on forehead.

lol, I got pulled over for not having the decal in the correct position because I had NICO plate frames...local po-po giving me a hard time. Their chief drove a silver G35 and I was mistaken for him, and I just played along. Now, I just wave to them all...I drive by the station just about every day.

Jacko, don't stomp the gas when a cop is behind you and you won't get nailed If you mess with the bull, you're going to get the horns!

Thanks Joe, I feel better from your words of encouragement. I agree totally with you about not stomping on the gas when they are there. Usually I listening to some really nice old Rock band like "Bostson", and I am unaware that the po-po are behind me---this is where they get me, especially with the distinct Stillen Exhaust sound. I guess seelling the G-35 is now out of consideration.

Sorry to hear you are having such a conundrum with your G?

My advice1-Put your G back to stock including the exhaust.2- Sell the mods and place the proceeds in a 401k3- Switch to regular and use the savings to pay for the increased gas prices.4- No more need to flog your G like you stole it.5-No more getting pulled over and tickets.

Don't worryBe Happy

Telco, how about you get some mods to see what all the fuss is about?

Most breathing mods will increase your MPG's so if you don't hammer the throttle, you should see a significant jump.

I've had mine for almost 2 years now (2 years August 1st) and I have yet to be pulled over. There definitely have been situations where if I had my old car, I would have gotten pulled over. I passed a cop doing 80+ in a 70 while he was sitting in a break in the median and I was in the far left lane. All he did was flash his spots at me. I know for a fact (well not really, but I have a really good feeling) I would have gotten pulled over otherwise. I pass em all the time at 80-85 and some of my friends have been pulled over for 80. I don't know if I'm just lucky now or what, but I always felt I was a target in my old car...not so much anymore.

Oh and Jacko, I'd be willing to buy your exhaust as well.

I think the sweet engine note of the car when i rev is a better pick up line than "Hey, you know I have a huge 401k' lol

Sure... the only difference is that a sweet engine note will pick up chicks like this...

Bragging about a huge 401k will get you chicks like this...

You both lose!

I pay State Farm $58. a month for 100/300/100 insurance. Same 100/300/100 on uninsured/underinsured. That's why I don't see tickets as trophies.

Umm, my vote is for the 401K in that case. There are many benefits to that and the hot girl over an exhaust note and the other girl.

Let me give it a few months and see if my pull over statistics drops well below 0.85 pull overs a month. I am really praying my statistics drops to about 0.1 pull overs a month. Pray for me!
