    Yeah I love the lines of the G35 coupe... and the sound :shock:

    Wonder if I could take the V8 Nissan uses and just plop it in, G45 :P

    Z06 would eat any of these (stock) cars for breakfast and be much faster in curves as well... the Z06 is in a Ferrari class of performance

    Thanks for all the replies.

    Drove it, loved it. Good handling, awesome engine :shock: good brakes, great sound but no headroom in the back for my folks. Plenty of legroom but I'm only 6' and my head was wedged on the edge of the roof and the window... which is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

    Nice car though... rats!

    Im 5-11 and ive never had problems in my uncle's G35.......... interesting... then again it was the sedan variant

    I can agree that the GT-Rs do look a litle dated, but people still love the looks and all, its also fast to boot......... i'll bet its cheaper to import a Japanese car than it is to import an American being in New Zealand........... IMO that new V35 just cant compete with the past 3........ they'll be forever immortalized I suppose.... seing as the new GT-R looks like absolute S**T

    Yes, agree Arashi. My mates R33 at 25psi, just dynoed 525wrhp. That car is a monster, hardly drivable in the wet how ever :?

    I think we might be from slightly different demographics I prefer the velvet glove approach rather than the iron fist... and while I'm not arguing the potency of the GT-R they sure do look dated these days.
    Agree totally with you Arashi But killing an ant with a sledge hammer is awfully gratifying, come on now, admit it :wink:

    From some specs I found at the G35 forum the sedan has three extra inches headroom in the back. Which would solve the problem at a stroke.

    What's your uncles sedan like... handling/performance wise?

    There's a variety of optional packages that can modify the base car to make it more on a par with the coupe.

    itd not too bad, a smooth ride like you'd expect from a luxury sedan, but I didnt get a chance to go flat out on it though :cry:
