Welcome. The color is diamond graphite I believe. It wasn't available when I ordered mine. Otherwise it would have been a tough tough choice for me. Now that I have owned the carribean blue, I think I would have chosen the blue anyway. But DG is a nice color. Congratulations! Be aware of some of the recent discussions here on young guys with new G's

hey... thanks for da kind words..
well... i own a supra so i think i can handle a g35 if u were talkin about the rearwheel drive or even jus a powerful car itself... but thank you anywayz and i will be sure to be extra careful with the new babie...

i love it how only one person would reply to a 18 seen post...but i guess newbies are never welcome on any forums.... =P

there were couple of negative parts to a owning the 6mt? something with grinding 6th gear? does that problem occur often or on random ones rarely...

I think if you treat the car well it should hold up fine. There are some problems, but I've seen people jam their cars into gear at meets... When I double-clutch the gears line right up. Take the extra time to treat it gently and you should be fine for a long time.

Welcome to the community and congrates on your new purchase...

Welcome!
If your car's a late '04, you probably won't have any trouble with the transmission. I think the grinds were showing up on the v1 and v2 trannys, and the '05 has a v5 (I think the '04s had the v4?). Most of the bugs are worked out by now.

Even if you do get some bugs, it's a warranty repair, nothing to worry about. Infiniti replaced my entire transmission for free when 5th started grinding.

thanks guys for the welcome... and im glad to know that most of the bugs were fixed.... and yeah, da warranty will back me up anywayz..

unfortunately... due to the weathers in NJ, i cannot pick up my car until mid next week since it will snow around 12 inches here all weekend... grr... what a luck i have...

are there good amount of meets in NJ area??

The boys at Freshalloy say that the transmission is at revision 008 (according to the service papers).

welcome to the site. Not too many jersey meets on this site. There are a few new york meets if you're closer to there.

Newbies are welcome but some newbies are just stupid. They ask all these questions like we're gona drop everything and find the answers for their posts.

Do some research since your a new G35 owner, soak up as much nessecary info as you can by knowing about your car and other cars compaired to it.
