After reading everything I could from this forum and buying all the neccessary equipment, I washed and Zaino'd my car for the first time. Put 2 coats of Z2/ZFX on with Z6 in between. Let me know what you think

Yeah, I take that as a ..... nevermind. Proud owner of a G35 sedan too - '06. I test drove about 25 cars to reach my conclusion. There is hardly anything common with the Altima. Believe me... The floor pan for the G35 is the FX midship -it's LONGER. The G35 is rearwheel drive. That's a huge difference - better weight distribution, better ride. The engine is completely tuned differently for the G35 which makes for a much more powerful engine. The G35 is much more similar in ride and looks to a BMW 3 series, which I used to own. You read the Infinity company literature and their CEO is perfectly frank with the analysts that the number 1 target for G35 is the BMW 3 series.



There are not too many common parts, the only one I can think of is the oil filter. Not even the spark plugs are the same. This comes up in the G35 forums where G35 owners want to save a few service bucks by going into a Nissan dealership.

I thought it shared a platform with the Maxima

No! G35s are on the FX-Midship platform. Longer wheel base. Maxima is FWD. The FX platform is optimized for rear-wheel drive and thus it's no surprise that the successful G35 sedan/coupe lends its FM (front mid-ship) platform to the FX. Yes, there are a few shared minor parts but each vehicle has it's own unique identity inside the cabin, and its own singular driving experience.



Only the 350Z, G35 (sedan & coupe) and the SUV FX-35 share the FX-FM platform.
 
At any rate, the subtle changes in the new G make it an improvement over the old. I saw a new one next to an old one the other day, and there is no comparison in the looks department. It's like buying a damn computer when you buy a car nowadays...

Yes, version 2.0 does make some cosmetic changes and some HP changes. Nevertheless, it rides on the same floorpan - the FX/FM. The wheelbase length on the G35 is the same as my Jag XJ6.
 
Great work, love the car too :)!





Don't forget to dress those wells, though...it really liquifies the whole look.
 
Thanks for all the comments. I was expecting more critiques than commets ;0). Truth be told, I didn't even clean the wells let alone dress them haha. That'll be something I'll have to look into.
 
KT: Nice ride. If I was a sedan person it would be a back/forth between this and a E-Class. You're also lucky that that you're starting off with a fresh paint..you know where it's been. Good luck.
