 This listing is for a 2003.5 G35 sedan 6mt with the optional nismo areo package, sports package and premium package.  The body currently has 82,XXX Miles and I have owned this vehicle for the past 9 years, I bought the car from the original owner in 2005 with around 30,000 miles. The transmission was replaced by Infiniti under warranty and currently has 30,000 miles, the issue was due to a design flaw in Nissans standard transmissions that were used in the 350z and g35 sedan and coupe. The engine was also replaced recently due to having oil consumption , the new motor currently has 35,000 miles on it with no issues and came out of a 2004 350z. The rims are OEM Rays 19'  that are lightweight forged and came as a sports package option for the coupe,  the tires have been recently replaced with less then 3,000 miles on them. New Drilled & slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads have also just been installed, with less then 1,000 miles.  The G35 also currently has coil over suspension that is both height and damping adjustable. The reason I'm selling the car is to fund and pursue a oppurntinty to train Rugby full time at a Olympic Development Academy.


Car and Driver: Say hello to the four door Z

The sedan's new six-speed is the same transmission used in the FM-platform ("front midship") coupes-the Nissan 350Z and the G35 two-door-and naturally features the same gear ratios and 3.54:1 final-drive ratio. It's no surprise, then, that it feels and operates the same. Which is fine by us, because the transmission is direct and precise and offers a satisfying mechanical feel. More important, it puts you in full control, connecting you to the car in a way an automatic can't. By removing the torque-converting middleman, you can literally get a feel for the 260-hp 3.5, with the pedals and shifter transmitting the engine's vibes, especially as the needle approaches the 6600-rpm redline. The effect is man-and-machine harmony.Unlike a buttery Acura TSX or BMW 3-series gearbox that can be sliced and diced with almost complete nonchalance, the G35's does require some deliberation when shifting, because neutral feels as if it were housing a miniature turnstile. It creates resistance when exiting one gate and entering another. It's not bad or annoying, just different. You simply have to shift as if you mean it.When you do, the rewards are swift. The sprint from 0 to 60 consumes 5.9 ticks, 0.3 quicker than the best time we managed with the automatic and only 0.4 and 0.5 second slower than a 280-hp G35 two-door and 287-hp 350Z Track, respectively. The new six-speed, 235-hp BMW 330i with Performance package (September 2003) was a bit quicker as well, hitting 60 in 5.6 seconds. The power difference among the Nissan 3.5s is even less evident in the quarter-mile times. Our test car devoured 1320 feet in 14.2 seconds-an identical time to the coupe and only a 10th behind the Z. The Bimmer needed 14.3 seconds. It seems the various outputs from the 3.5s are closer than Nissan would like us to believe.Moreover, when equipped with the manual, the G35 sedan comes standard with the sport-tuned suspension package-more aggressive damping and W-rated 215/55R-17 Goodyear Eagle GS-D summer tires-resulting in a car that handles and brakes right with the coupes. On the skidpad, the sedan, at 0.87 g, fell slightly behind the Z Track at 0.88 g and the G35 coupe's best at 0.90, but it managed to top the 330i (0.86). And keep in mind that those three cars ride on bigger 18-inch wheels and tires. Despite wearing the skinniest rubber, the G35 still shorted them all, posting a distance of 153 feet from 70 to 0 mph. That's less than the pavement needed by the Z (164), G35 coupe (157), 330i (158), and even the Lamborghini Murcielago (155) and the Saleen S7 (156). Perhaps Nissan had some leftover brakes from the R390 GT1 supercar. "Hey, Taka, what should we do with these fancy brakes?"Nissan would still like us to believe that the FM two-doors are sportier than their four-door counterpart, but now that the manual has found its rightful home in the four-door, it's more a question of "How many doors do I want?" Yes, the Z is stiffer and harder-edged than the G35s, and the two-doors sit lower to the ground than the four-door does, but the overall driving experience among the three is like describing three flavors of chocolate. Each has its subtleties and distinctiveness, but in the end, they're all still chocolate.

Nissan sets 2017 sales record with help from Rogue, Titan, and Armada

Thu, Jan 4 2018

Nissan Group said its U.S. sales climbed 1.9 percent in 2017 to an all-time record of more than 1.59 million vehicles sold. Free pizza in the conference rooms in Nashville, right? But a closer look shows the company mirroring overall industry trends, with plenty of declining-popularity cars but also a few aging trucks and SUVs. Taken together, Nissan's trucks, SUVs and crossovers saved the day, selling an all-time high of 765,624 total units, up 15 percent from 2016. That offset a 10.9-percent drop in sales of Nissan's cars, as volume sellers like the Altima and Versa posted steep drops. Also buoying overall results was the Infiniti division, which gained 10 percent from the previous year on the strength of models like the Q60 and QX30. Nissan's record year owes a lot to the Rogue, its compact crossover, which set an annual sales record with 403,465 vehicles, an increase of 22.3 percent. Sales of the Titan, Nissan's full-size pickup, grew an impressive 141.9 percent to 52,924 units, while the Armada, a full-size three-row SUV that was all-new for 2017, also saw a huge jump in sales (154.1 percent) to 35,667. Infiniti, meanwhile, saw overall sales climb 10.9 percent on the strength of huge gains by the Q60 Coupe, which rose 170.8 percent, and the QX30 crossover, which grew almost 524 percent. That being said, Infiniti volume is relatively low. The Q60 Coupe sold a total of 40,444 units and the QX30 14,093 for 2017, while Nissan shifted 40,172 Rogues in December alone. On the car side, the Maxima did well, gaining 7.9 percent to finish at 67,627. Volume-wise, the Sentra dominated, nudging up 1.7 percent to 218,451. But the rest of the lineup mirrored industry trends for the car segment, with steep drops for the Altima (down 17 percent), battery-electric Leaf (-19.8 percent), Versa (-19.2 percent) and Juke (-48.1 percent). Several truck, crossover and SUV models are also not faring so well. The aging Frontier pickup, last updated in 2005, fell 14.5 percent, the Pathfinder slipped by 0.8 percent, the Quest minivan plummeted 55.5 percent and the upscale Murano crossover fell by 11.8 percent. A Nissan spokesman says the Quest is no longer being built for the U.S. market starting with the 2018 model year. Meanwhile, reinforcements are coming. Nissan has said it's planning a new generation of the Frontier, its entry-level pickup, but hasn't clarified when.

2016 Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 First Drive

Mon, Feb 29 2016

When the original Infiniti Q50 arrived to replace the long-lived G Sedan, our reaction was lukewarm. It lacked poise, refinement, and efficiency, and we hated the Direct Adaptive Steer system. We originally thought of this steer-by-wire system as, "technology for the sake thereof." Infiniti is hoping to address these shortcomings with the 2016 Q50. It gets a new and far improved version of DAS, and a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 sits atop a diversified powertrain family. And at the top of the ladder sits this: the Q50 Red Sport 400. The Red Sport's all-aluminum 3.0-liter V6 pumps out 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, the latter of which can be called upon between 1,600 and 5,200 rpm. That low-end thrust is what's most evident out on the road – everything from standing starts to freeway passes are effortless. It's actually kind of ferocious – the tachometer needle climbs relentlessly, and the engine feels strong and purposeful all the way up to its 7,000-rpm redline. It's a refined and smooth powerplant, too, which is a tremendous improvement over the old 3.7-liter V6. The sensations the revised Direct Adaptive Steer system delivers are comparable to the average, modern, electric power-assisted setup. The bigger accomplishment is Infiniti's second-generation Direct Adaptive Steering system. Owners can choose from three steering weights and three levels of responsiveness, but steering adjustments feel more incremental rather than dramatic, so you won't be jarred if you suddenly switch from an aggressive mode to a more comfortable setup. Computer wizardry still can't match natural feedback, but the sensations the revised Direct Adaptive Steer system delivers are comparable to the average, modern, electric power-assisted setup. Make no mistake, that's a huge improvement and it means DAS performs far better dynamically, especially when you ask for its most aggressive behavior. See the differences between the different modes in the video below. Even half-throttle situations in the standard drive mode required counter-steering. Direct Adaptive Steer feels perfectly fine during everyday driving. We spent about 75 percent of our time testing a DAS-equipped car, but hopped into a non-DAS model a the short, 20-mile drive back to our hotel. DAS felt more stable and easy to track down the road – it didn't require the constant, tiny steering inputs of the traditional system.

Hyundai, Genesis, Subaru warn their dealers about markups

Mon, Feb 28 2022

Six weeks ago, word got out that Ford's VP of sales for the U.S. and Canada wrote one of those "It has come to our attention..." e-mails to the automaker's dealer body. The VP's problem was dealers trying to get reservation deposits for the Ford F-150 Lightning well above the official $100 fee. The tomfoolery resulted in interactions "with customers in a manner that is negatively impacting customer satisfaction and damaging to the Ford Motor Company brand and Dealer Body reputation." Two weeks later, GM told its dealers to cut out the reservation gaming and the markups on the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, banditry that's been going on for two years. Two weeks ago, Ford was back at it, this time about markups on the Bronco. Last week, Asian automakers swept into the melee, with Hyundai and Genesis, Subaru, and Infiniti writing letters to their dealers to deliver some variant of, "Stop pissing off the customers." Automotive News reported an SVP at Hyundai Motor America and the COO at Genesis Motor North America sent letters to their dealers expressing disappointment at "certain pricing practices which, if left unchecked, will have a negative impact on the health of our brand." One of the practices mentioned was dealer markups, another was the bait-and-switch, with dealers advertising one price then charging a higher price once the customer showed up at the lot. The letters acknowledged that dealers are separate companies to the automakers and have the right to set their own prices. The automakers cannot interfere with that; their leverage is distributing allocations and perks such as advertising support and financial incentives. So, like a movie boss letting the protagonist go on a technicality, the brands wrote, "we cannot stand idly by watching the actions of the aforementioned dealers undo all the efforts we collectively have put into making these brands what they are today." Jalopnik got tipped to a letter Subaru of America CEO Thomas Doll sent to that brand's dealers. Doll's polite yet insistent tone was the result of a letter a loyal Subaru owner sent to the automaker's VP of Customer Advocacy. In the market for a third brand-new Forester, the owner said they encountered a "tax" labeled a "Low Inventory Surcharge" of as much as $6,000, putting the Forester out of reach.
