liquidmetall: No one replied to this so I'm going to. One of the first "requirement" on the checklist of an average Nigerian when buying a car is "Does it chop fuel?" Reason why bland Toyota 4 cylinders are in every corner of this country. The G35 is luxurious, fast, with a sport tuned suspension (like BMWs), and a reliable VQ engine if well maintained... It's a fvcking fuel guzzler though, hence we don't see a lot of them on Nigerian roads! They were made on the same platform as the Nissan 350z, so it's a Z with luxurious Infiniti badges, various body styles (Sedan and coupe), and built to compete with their German counterpart (BMW 3 series) which they did fairly well... Do get a 2007 model upwards! I'm not sure about parts availability but it's a Nissan at the end of the day. Alternatives include Acura TL, Volvo S60 T6, BMW 3 series. 3 Likes |

CaptblackV12: Lol, I dey drive my car na, which update again. I don't drive it as much as my FX, though, since that one is much more of a "go anywhere" vehicle. It'll soon be time for another oil change. |

BALLOSKI: You don't see anything wrong with the environment? Red soil in that place is normal? Haven't you been to filling stations with neatly swept/vacuumed floors abi their management get 3 heads? This is what I mean by we see "rough environment as normal" in Nigeria. |

HeavenlyBang:Would you consider this as a daily driver? Any regrets so far? Any costly fix so far? Has there been parts availability? Are they that costly? I currently get about 16mpg from my es350 and I don't mind getting a v8 with similar mpg as you posted on page 1. |
Re: On The Eight Day, God Made The V8: My Journey To 400 HP by HeavenlyBang(m): 1:00pm On Jan 08 |
Balistic4: Daily driver depends on the roads you ply. Good roads are fine, bad roads definitely not. You go fix suspension tire. For the first 18 months I had this, it was my only car and my area didn't have the best roads. Had a lot of suspension issues, mostly control arms and stabilizer links. I bought an FX after and started only driving this to places I was sure didn't have bad roads + our roads were all fixed. It's been over a year and I haven't had any suspension issues again. Otherwise, it's mostly been regular maintenance. I've had to replace my alternator, starter motor, and the battery in the three years I've owned this, though. But that's standard for a car around the 100k mile. Parts are available, since it shares quite a lot of parts with the W204. Good car. Still eye catching. Still commands respect, and is still an absolute blast to drive. 3 Likes 1 Share
