Re: G35 and 350Z Problems
Aside from tire feathering the issues are the same. G35s don't seem to have widespread tire issues, but have seen a few rare complaints with uneven tire wear (not sure if it's actually feathering).

There was a recall on the center consol for the Temp control/CD changer. I had my replaced on day 1, yes, the day I was at the dealer to pick it up. But they replaced it right away and this car has zero problem after that.. I heard a little rattling last weekend but not sure if it was the cd's or what. But overall, I am HAPPY!

JBA Infiniti in Ellicott City, MD treated me very well and gave me the best deal.
Greg Hayes was the sales manager (should still be), and I dealt with him and had no problems getting what I wanted (though I had reasonable expectations).

for the interior rattles, couldnt you take some time and locate the rattle and put some a piece of rubber, stickytack, etc to some the rattles? i mean if it is INSIDE the dash or something that would suck but if it is outside i am sure you can stop the rattles...
my passport x50 rattles against my windshield on crappy freeways but i put some left over rubber stickies on the part that contacts the window and no more rattle haha...

ok so 2.5 inches lowered and 19" wheels.....I have 2 questions for you.
Do you scrape on every little bump in the road?
What kind of camber do you have?
My car is dropped 1.2" front and 1" back and i scrape on almost everything on the road. I just want to know how your setup is possible.

True dat. My Tein S-Techs (1.2/1) have me scraping on speed bumps that I used to have no problem with. I love the ride and look but I hate negotiating parking garages, etc... A 2.5" drop is hard to imagine unless I'm on the track.
