This listing is for a 2003.5 G35 sedan 6mt with the optional nismo areo package and premium package.Infiniti only produced a few 100 manual sedans during a 1.5 year a time span from 2003.5 to 2004, not including the optional areo package. The Car currently has 79,XXX Miles and I have owned this vehicle for the past 9 years, I bought the car from the original owner in 2005 with around 30,000 miles. The transmission was replaced by Infiniti under warranty to a cd009 and currently has 35,000 miles, the issue was due to a design flaw in Nissan standard transmissions that were used in the 350z and g35 sedan and coupe. The engine was also replaced due to having oil consumption and currently has 30,000 miles on it. I've equipped the car with the lightweight 19' forged rims from the coupe, and the tires have less then 500 miles on them. The G currently has coil overs suspension that is both height and damping adjustable, it will also come with the stock suspension boxed up. This sedan weighs less then the G coupe and slightly more then the Z, their all based off the same FM platform with vertically all parts interchangeable, besides exhaust , a few exterior parts and interior. Car and Driver: Say hello to the four door Z The sedan's new six-speed is the same transmission used in the FM-platform ("front midship") coupes-the Nissan 350Z and the G35 two-door-and naturally features the same gear ratios and 3.54:1 final-drive ratio. It's no surprise, then, that it feels and operates the same. Which is fine by us, because the transmission is direct and precise and offers a satisfying mechanical feel. More important, it puts you in full control, connecting you to the car in a way an automatic can't. By removing the torque-converting middleman, you can literally get a feel for the 260-hp 3.5, with the pedals and shifter transmitting the engine's vibes, especially as the needle approaches the 6600-rpm redline. The effect is man-and-machine harmony.Unlike a buttery Acura TSX or BMW 3-series gearbox that can be sliced and diced with almost complete nonchalance, the G35's does require some deliberation when shifting, because neutral feels as if it were housing a miniature turnstile. It creates resistance when exiting one gate and entering another. It's not bad or annoying, just different. You simply have to shift as if you mean it.When you do, the rewards are swift. The sprint from 0 to 60 consumes 5.9 ticks, 0.3 quicker than the best time we managed with the automatic and only 0.4 and 0.5 second slower than a 280-hp G35 two-door and 287-hp 350Z Track, respectively. The new six-speed, 235-hp BMW 330i with Performance package (September 2003) was a bit quicker as well, hitting 60 in 5.6 seconds. The power difference among the Nissan 3.5s is even less evident in the quarter-mile times. Our test car devoured 1320 feet in 14.2 seconds-an identical time to the coupe and only a 10th behind the Z. The Bimmer needed 14.3 seconds. It seems the various outputs from the 3.5s are closer than Nissan would like us to believe.Moreover, when equipped with the manual, the G35 sedan comes standard with the sport-tuned suspension package-more aggressive damping and W-rated 215/55R-17 Goodyear Eagle GS-D summer tires-resulting in a car that handles and brakes right with the coupes. On the skidpad, the sedan, at 0.87 g, fell slightly behind the Z Track at 0.88 g and the G35 coupe's best at 0.90, but it managed to top the 330i (0.86). And keep in mind that those three cars ride on bigger 18-inch wheels and tires. Despite wearing the skinniest rubber, the G35 still shorted them all, posting a distance of 153 feet from 70 to 0 mph. That's less than the pavement needed by the Z (164), G35 coupe (157), 330i (158), and even the Lamborghini Murciélago (155) and the Saleen S7 (156). Perhaps Nissan had some leftover brakes from the R390 GT1 supercar. "Hey, Taka, what should we do with these fancy brakes?"Nissan would still like us to believe that the FM two-doors are sportier than their four-door counterpart, but now that the manual has found its rightful home in the four-door, it's more a question of "How many doors do I want?" Yes, the Z is stiffer and harder-edged than the G35s, and the two-doors sit lower to the ground than the four-door does, but the overall driving experience among the three is like describing three flavors of chocolate. Each has its subtleties and distinctiveness, but in the end, they're all still chocolate.
