reliability doesn't come from internals, it comes from the hardware/installation/tune.

Bugs meaning installation errors and just unfortunate parts. Quality and condition of your car, even if it's new.. plus the quality of the turbo kit you throw in, along wtih the installation. As simple as a boost leak maybe an error that might mean you have to take the bumper off... run it through a pressurized tester... replace clamps or tighten clamps etc. Maybe.. an AC or PS line gets melted? Do a few searches on posts about f/i problems. I mean it's worth it, but you must have patience... I wouldn't take a just turbo'd G out across the country the first day it was finished without a few hundred miles or a few dyno's.

^^^^^ What I would do, be a little over 14k.

 

I sold my '05 G35c (auto and 12,000 miles) and bought a '06 350z 6mt.
People say that they will buy the G because of the back seat. Have you ever tried to sit back there? I'm 5'7" and the head room is ridiculous.
After a few months nobody wanted to sit back there. So it really became a two seater for my family. (we also have a van)

I like the shorter wheelbase of the Z - it seems to turn in a littler quicker.
The interior of the G was nicer - I liked the feal of the stearing wheel better then on the Z.

The car I had before the G35 was a Subaru STi.

STi - One of the best performing cars I've owned. Wasn't happy with the
sound of the small four and the "boy racer" image. Was in it's eliment
only when you were on it all out on a smooth road.

G35 - One very classy ride. Image wise, I could park it next to any car and
feel good. It wasn't quite a sports car and not quite a full on luxury
car.

350Z - I think this is a true "sports car". (two seats) No it does not perform
as well as the STi but to me it is more satisfying in every day
driving.

 

Depends if you want to be a wolf in sheeps clothing or not!

 

The G is just the more lux version of the 350.

 

I couldnt decide so I bought both.
