Back to business. This car has been in the shop three times since I picked it. First time was just after picking it up, when I had work done on the brake pads, exhaust leak, and calipers. Second time was about a month ago. Freak accident. I have no idea how it happened. One of the rods holding the wheel to the chassis broke off. Left the wheel out of position (tilted at an angle), and was then running against the chassis. Made the car undriveable. I think it may have happened when I banged into a pothole when travelling on the interstate. It's not a replacement job, so it had to be fabricated and welded back in place. Picture below. When that happened, the brake disc on that wheel was already warped, so I just had it changed. And I think I had another exhaust leak? Getting ridiculous, I know. Total cost: 30k

HeavenlyBang:i’m looking at 2010-2013 S5, which has a V8 option. S4 of those years come with V6 only |
Re: Life And Times Of An Infiniti G35 by HeavenlyBang(m): 7:41pm On Jul 06, 2019 |
king406: True, true, a supercharged V6 IIRC. Edit: I just checked. The S5 Sport back and Convertible has a 3.0 L supercharged V6 making about 330 HP. Same with the S4. Only the S5 Coupe has the 4.2L V8 making 350 HP. All cars have similar performance numbers. 0-60, 1/4 miles, etc. Unless you're looking for a V8 specifically, I'm not sure why you'd be looking at the S5, since only the coupe comes in V8 form. If I were you, I'd be looking at the S5 Sportback with the 330 HP SC V6. I've also not heard any major negative talk about that engine. Though I guess the 4.2L V8 is just more reliable since it's more tested. 1 Like |

HeavenlyBang:I’m avoiding the V6 because of the supercharger, i’m thinking it’ll be more prone to problems than the naturally aspirated V8. Besides, put a V6 and a V8 side by side, i’ll almost always pick a the V8. Now my dilemma is the V8 only comes with either a 6 speed manual or 6 speed auto, the V6 comes with a 7 speed dual clutch automatic, i really love the idea of that 7 speed. There’s just so much to consider, i dont even know which car to focus on, i want them all ![]() 1 Like |
Re: Life And Times Of An Infiniti G35 by HeavenlyBang(m): 10:28pm On Jul 06, 2019 |
king406: I feel you. I'd pick a V8 over a supercharged V6 anytime too. That 7-speed is a dual clutch transmission, right? Those things can be very expensive. Very very expensive. The 6-speed is likely the safer option. There's also the factor of Coupe vs Sportback. 2 doors vs 4 doors with a great design. And, no, you're not derailing the thread. |

Oops!seem I came late to the party. Women and cars go hand in hand. Who would you be impressing asides women with car stunts? Like today I was on executive mode with a couple of associates when a C300 zoom past us. Dude was carrying like 3 girls in the rear.I am not so sure if anyone was in front. I saw him coming like a bullet from behind and I was in my C230k. We were 3 in the car,clear roads and all... I wanted to engage but for business reasons,guyman gats compose. Nothing worse than showing people from work recklessness right? The C300zoom past me laidat oo without a proper fight even though I knew he would win ![]() ![]() But atleast I would have been pleased if I engaged 6 Likes |
Re: Life And Times Of An Infiniti G35 by king406(m): 12:29am On Jul 07, 2019 |
HeavenlyBang:yes its a dual clutch, i might risk it because of how fast that transmission is. Even the 7 speed on a E350 is a joy to drive, imagine a 7 speed dual clutch on a sports car. I dont really mind the bodystyle, anyone goes for me. I just recently added the s5 to my list of options, g37s and s5 are the frontrunners ![]() ![]() |

jceesquare: I have no idea. I've never gone under to take a look myself. The leaks happen around the same place, though, and I'm oreety sure it's because of the entrance to my house. The entrance is elevated, so when reversing out, the bottom of the car always scrapes. And it scrapes in the same place that the leaks happen. That's the only thing I can point at. thebigkendo: Yes, I believe. That part of the exhaust may also be rusted. Massachusetts roads are notorious for being very highly salted in winter. 1 Like |
