Anything between the MAFs and the engine.
Check for loose / bad clamps and potentially cracks in the plastics.

You know you own a G37 when the back of your hand is raw from reaching between the center console and the seat for credit card, key fob, etc. that slide out of your pocket.

...you are at the dealer every other day because your car wont start, transmission shifts rough or erratic, AC doesn't work, electrical issues, windows don't roll up or down, car bursts into flames, Every soccer mom beats you in her mini van.....

... you can't enjoy some fresh air when its raining out because you can't use "rain deflectors" for these goofy coupe windows.

... a lowered G coupe / vert when you have to "roll" out of your car on the decks with no space to fully open the doors. (I'm getting quite good at it. )

If you want it for looks, be prepared to spend because the GTR intake manifold will NOT bolt on directly without modification and different lower manifold.

For gains, better off port matching a stock manifold or running Motordyne M370 or Z1 ported manifold and see the same gains (minimal btw).

ya know...

you know you own a G when:

A cop rides your butt through 3 consecutive stop signs, of which you diligently full stop each time (cuz he's so close you can smell the donuts),
and he still gives you ticket for rollin'

Ok is it only my car or does water just like pour into the window from off the windshield, even if you only crack it a tiny bit. Annoying.

This thread was a lot more fun on bimmerpost when I had the 335i. There were many things you could post about. Popping an CEL on acceleration and going into limp mode once a week, HPFP failure, anything VANOS, weak AC, etc.

Only issue I have is a minor issue with the window motor. I've had window/electrical issues with every Nissan I've owned.

My first Nissan/Renault/ Infiniti is the G so I've been spoiled for the 20+k miles of ownership. Mazda has treated me good as well (2008 was a different story). Grabbed a Volve T5 as a project car and had the heater core blow within 70 miles of ownership....sour taste.

My biggest gripe about the G though, you have to have hamster hands to work on just about anything on this car and there's a lot of hidden bolts for pulling stuff (i.e. sedan bumper vs coupe bumper).
