I drove an 06 G35 coupe yesterday followed by a 2010 G37 sedan.. I was surprised at the NVH levels. Is it supposed to be like that? I mean I could feel every bump on the road. The highway noise was just unacceptable. I mean why would anyone make a car like that? on the 2010 G37 I could even hear some weird rattle in the cabin. The only good parts were amazing cornering abilities and excellent acceleration..

and in the case of the G37 coupe...heavy junk.

I would like to hijack this thread to announce this news:

1) G25 is now out, with a 218 hp 2.5 litre V6.

2) G37 IPL Coupe out, with minor bump in hp (348) and loads of aesthetic mods. They should have just gone ahead and made a proper upgrade, like, a G50 coupe/sedan with 420+ hp, instead of a mild makeover.

^^^ that was the exact thought I had in my head when I was driving..

We can all agree. NMSJ

I'm telling you, you think I'm just spouting off hate

but seriously, go drive that shit and see for yourself before you put your money up

Too much noise compared to what? There's no doubt NMSJ, but cornering well usually comes with a rather stiff ride. Also, isn't the G37 lighter than the G35 (ASSuming that going from 350z being lighter than the 370z).

8/18/2010 2:00:06 PM

wait so you're saying that my car can't ride like a caddy and corner like a lotus at the same time?

8/18/2010 2:04:28 PM

Too much noise compared to any regular sedan (Talking about the G37).. I mean, it looks like they made absolutely no effort to dampen out road noise.. and the brakes made a slight scraping type noise when pressed gently and I could feel it in the pedal.. It was practically a new car with about 8000 miles on it..

Only the early (2003-2005) 350Zs were lighter than the 370Z.

hahahahahhahaa

A friend had an 05 or 06 G35 and was unimpressed with a G37 loaner from the dealer. He said he felt that the interior had gotten worse.

8/18/2010 3:56:22 PM

Yesh, I said that backwards. The 370z is lighter than the 350z, and I was saying if one would follow that logic the G37 should be lighter than G35...

You can feel the road, corners like it's on rails, and you can feel the brakes? I'm going to have to drive one of these!

But the G35 coupe was pretty sexy.

8/18/2010 9:55:01 PM

I've heard the latest versions of the VQ engine should pretty raspy and crappy inside the vehicle.

If you want quiet buy a Lexus or Buick.

If you want performance buy a BMW or Infiniti

If you want reliability buy Acura, Lexus, or Infiniti

8/19/2010 12:15:34 PM

I love my Infiniti, haters can suck it. 2007 G35S... never had the slightest mechanical issue with it, handles like a dream, plenty of power, and it's nice to look at.

GUESS YOU TOLD US.

8/19/2010 12:57:10 PM

^^^ I have had zero reliability issues with my 3 series.

8/20/2010 2:54:13 AM

For some reason I am having the same issues with my 240sx

The car is gutted with a rollbar ....you think that has something to do with it?

My Nissan has no issues other then the fact that it smokes...very minor issues

For H8R: Even I think NMSJ

has anyone bypassed the GPS safety sensor to allow you to play movies and alter the GPS directions while the car is moving? Is it a software/flash drive entered hack or is it actual physical wiring changed?

8/31/2010 10:08:23 PM

You're doing it wrong.

you have to clip\splice a wire and switch I believe. check http://www.g35driver.com

G35

9/1/2010 8:26:59 AM

I had a 07 G35s sedan w/out Nav. I took the dash apart and cut some wires so I could play movies off my ipod though. I'd highly recommend another one. I found that road noise had a lot to do with the tires I went with...Good Year Eagle F1s suck btw. It was a fast car, good interior, and handled great.

I think this nmsj stuff is old and untrue - if anything, bmwmsfj.

My dad also has a M45 that he bought brand new and now has 115k miles on it, he hasn't had ANY issues with it.

Anybody got the v8.4 of the navigation software?

1/20/2011 2:40:51 PM

NMSJ

nahh i almost got a g35 but like what i ended up with 100x better.

(i don't really like modern luxury)

give me cloth seats and i can nav on my own thank you.

1/20/2011 2:47:30 PM

cool, well i'm not trying to pay $150 for a nav update when the nav system works fine already, but i'd gladly install a free copy
