Replying to: g35xman (Jun 23, 2006 5:32 am) Long story short, ends up that the noise actually was coming from the leather on the stick shift. Was very surprised how the sound travels, but everytime I hear the sound, still seeming to come from the front dash/roof area, I move the leather casing around the stick, and surely enough, it goes away. After getting used to the aesthetics of the car, yes, of course, the noise certainly was coming from the middle console. Certain of the source of noise? Can you definitely reproduce it? Couldnt hurt to see if it actually comes from another place. |

I have a 2003 G35 I noticed some spots of rust on the drivers door up by the window, I brought it in for an oil change today & the gentleman noticed the rust, he then opened the door & discovered the door frame around the window was rusting as well. If anyone knows or has experienced this problem and has any idea on how to help prevent this Please let me know. Leisure Point

Might be my imagination but now that I've run out the obligatory 1200 break-in mileage, it seems that the 2006 is just a tad slower off the line than the 2005 was. Same equipment, but the 2006 has some added weight according to the specs. I ran some 0 to 60 times in the 2005 I might want to dig out the numbers, run the 2006 and see how they compare. Roll |

Hey Guys, Unfortunately some piece of SH*% vandalized my car while downtown a couple months ago, this included kicking dents in my door. So I take it to one of the most respected and recommended by the dealer body shops in our city, and have nothing but problems so far. They made most of the repairs with good workmanship, althought i have a problem with the following. 1) The passenger door was repaired with Body Filler because ACUITY insurance company will NOT pay for a BRAND NEW one even though the car has 6000 miles on it and is BRAND NEW. So the body shop repairs the door, but looks horrible, they claim that when they BAKED the car in the BOOTH the intrusion beam glue melted in the door and LEFT MARKS and this is a problem they cant fix. I find it CRAZY that every infiniti G35 out there that gets hit, has this problem. So NOW I get IRATE and demand a new door, The insurance company ACUITY REFUSES still, the body shop says they'll eat the cost and do it, BUT they ordered 2 separate doors from NISSAN 2 different times, and they showed me Both doors and they LOOK WORSE than my original door? THe bodyshop claims that sometimes parts come in so bad from the factory that they actually NEED to be REPAIRED? Is this TRUE or BS? I called a couple others to get opinions and havent got a straight answer. I called Infiniti Consumer Affairs and talked to some guy named BRETT who was clueless and said someone will get back to me, still nothing! Now how can infiniti send crap parts and how is everyone getting the doors repaired/replaced? All opinions are welcome, what should i do, Live with the BONDO? or get a new door that needs to get fixed? I've heard keeping the car original is better and repairing the existing door cause new parts dont always fit perfectly? Then I've heard demand a NEW DOOR and no body filler should be in that new car? Please HELP SOMEONE!

Replying to: eliot2 (Jul 06, 2006 11:36 pm) It's been a long time since I was involved in collision repair but I do recall new parts can come damaged and so need repair. I'm not sure I buy that this is an Infiniti problem as much as a body shop problem. I am surprised the carrier insisted on a repair for such a new vehicle. You said 6000 miles but not how old the car was, (time since delivery). Once the decision was made to repair, (and agreed by the shop) the shop has a responsibility to make repairs in a professional and acceptable manner. If it's inevitable the glue in the doors will melt in the paint booth than repair may not be possible, or...the shop didn't follow mfg instructions for the repair. Which may be the reason the shop agreed to replace the door panel. Did you talk to the carrier directly during the process? Why not ask the shop to return the doors for another set that is in better shape? Good luck with this, Roll
