Replying to: wolverine85 (Jun 12, 2009 1:24 pm) Thank you. You have the sedan?   I know about the reviews you mentioned - it concerned me a lot, esp since I know the G is related to the 350Z, and I found the shifting in the 1st year model (was it 2002?) To be difficult. Replies to this message: wolverine85 (Jun 16, 2009 11:42 am) taxesquire (Jun 17, 2009 2:22 am) wolverine85 (Jun 17, 2009 7:30 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: taxesquire (Jun 13, 2009 2:36 am) I have 2008 Sedan with the Sport package.   When the car was new the gearbox was tight, especially 2nd gear, After 2k miles it loosend up and the gearbox is great.   The clutch does have a shorter engagment than most clutches but I quickly became used to it and have no problem driving the car smoothly. When the car was brand new there was somewhat of an on/off character to the clutch but it smoothed out with use.   Overall, I greatly enjoy driving the car and I think the reviews were far too harsh in their assessment of the manual. Of course I would recommend that you drive the car before makeing your purchase. When I was shopping there were no manual sedans availble to test drvie so I drove a G 37 coupe and then decided to order a sedan. I am very happy with my decision.

Replying to: wolverine85 (Jun 16, 2009 11:42 am) Thanks, so much! I would be looking for 2008 Sedan with the Sport package and nav option. Hoping to pick up one in good condition that's benefitted from some depreciation!!!!    When I couldn't locate a sedan to test-drive at a dealer (I didn't want to have a private person lend me their's to drive since I wasn't sure I'd want the car), I also test-drove the coupe, but it was a 2009.    I loved the clutch's shorter shifts and really appreciate your feedback.

Replying to: taxesquire (Jun 17, 2009 2:22 am) Glad to help. If you are going the used car route, keep in mind that after the first year of the updated sedan (2007) - that Infiniti made some updates to the clutch for 2008. I have only driven the 2008 so I cannot tell you of the significance of the update. Replies to this message: taxesquire (Jun 18, 2009 2:22 am)

Replying to: wolverine85 (Jun 17, 2009 7:30 am) Good to know. I thought the only diff btn 2007 & 8 was the backup sensors that changed to a true backup camera
#53 of 55 Problem with a starting hesitation or extended crank? by triblkg Aug 01, 2009 (10:09 am)
I purchased G35 new approx. 1 year ago, after about 12k miles I started experiencing (ramdomly) what can only be described as an extended crank problem. It has not yet failed to start however, it is scary when you are away from home and your car takes several seconds(more than 6) to start. I know it is not bad gas as I have switched to several different brands and the problem still happens. There are no error codes generated and the dealership has replaced several parts to no avail. I have been attempting to get Nissan/Infiniti to step up and address the problem however, all they seem to want to do is continue swapping out parts. Has anyone else had a similar problem with a starting hesitation or extended crank?      Thanks for your replies!
#54 of 55 Is there a clutch inspection window on the 6MT by guysaab Aug 14, 2009 (12:40 pm)
I'm considering a 2005 G35 6MT Sport. Is there any type of clutch inspection window to see how it's holding up?
#55 of 55 Shifter vibration by guysaab Aug 15, 2009 (9:48 pm)
And secondly, is it typical to have a noticable amount of vibration come through the shift lever? Just a heavy duty trans with a direct linkage, or on a 2005 should I be concerned?   Thanks in advance.
