It just occurred to me that I never updated you guys after my wreck last January (posted it in the G section but not here). So anyways some of you know that I totaled my A/C last January, http://forums.altimas.org/zerothread?id=400779 , (story if anyone is interested). After waiting a while to get the insurance figured out I ended up getting a used 2005 G35 Sedan 6MT. I am very pleased and happy with it. Even though it is an "upgrade" whenever I see an A/C I still can't believe how good it looks. I still check in every now and then to stay updated with whats going on in the A/C world. Anyways on to what everyone likes most, the pictures....enjoy

yeah i tried looking for another coupe but the combo i wanted (no moonroof with 6mt) was not available in the 09's and no 08's i could find had it, (being 6'5" i wouldn't fit with the moonroof). and yeah I've always loved the the G's but the g37's were too far out of the price range and with this one the price was right so I went ahead with this one.

And no they ended up dropping the ticket because the victim wasn't there, didn't even bother arguing that technically i was the victim. so no insurance raise or anything like that, got money from the other driver's insurance after they investigated it so it's all good now lol...

It's great to know that past owners of AC's still come in to keep up with us. You're always welcome here dude. The G looks good just to let you know .

I remember your accident, still can't believe that you were ticketed for that either.

Have fun with the G

Hey guys thanks for all the compliments.

...and yo coupecrazy it's all good. It's probably just a difference of where the seat feels comfortable, you being 6'7" probably have longer arms than I do and can have the seat further back and still reach the wheel, I guess I just have a bad height to arm length ratio for the A/C...haha oh well lol

do you also have the recline very far back? cause i needed the seat pushed all the way back, but where i needed the recline to be to still be able to reach the wheel put my head like right under the edge of the sunroof. so I'm thinking that if you have the recline wayy back then it brings your head behind that bump on the edge. Haha sorry if I seem to be over analyzing this but I tried many ways to be able to sit comfortably with the sunroof, so now I'm trying to figure out how you guys fit...

yeah, im doing the gangsta lean too haha. with my seat, i tilt it so that the front of it is all the way up and the back is all the way on the floor, i lean back a bit too, but i dont have my seat all the way back because when the two leather seats rub, it bugs the crap outta me haha. i fit well this way, but on long trips i seem to get hella tired because the gangsta lean is just a little too comfortable haha
