Feel free to correct me again, tho. I'm not proud.
My 2011 has no sunroof

He was fine. No ditch or curb, just a shoulder into grass. Luckily, too. If that space wasn't available to him, he would have certainly smacked into the back of the car.

Huh. OK then. That busts up that miscellaneous piece of useless info.

Can the 2012 thru 2013 Journey be had without a sunroof?

Pretty sure it was optional on the G25 and the Q40, but heck, I'm not going to bet on it now.

I'm petrified of the drain blockage. Ive looked high and low on what preventative measures can be taken, noone seems to have written about it. Other than dissasembly of the whole interior and butyl tape/caluking the gasket... Is there anything I can do?

I taped mine shut with Gorilla tape. I don't use the sunroof, so no loss.

So is there a "best header" for these cars? Or should I just pick up the Z1's?

It basically boils down to long-tube vs. short-tube.

Nothing makes you appreciate driving your car as much as not driving it for a month, then finally getting some seat time again. I've been re-thinking next car a lot lately, still years off. But today I'm reminded about how awesome it is to drive my modded 6MT.

Being away from your car is like hitting a soft reset button. I get annoyed with the squeaks, rattles, and other problems in my G to the point where I'm discontent with my purchase. Driving a loaner 90's civic for a week will put that perspective in check right quick.

Glad you could take her for a spin after a month, but why did you wait so long? I'd have some massive blue ***** if I went that long without driving Yasuke (yeah. i name my cars).

I get this. Sometimes the car becomes tiresome, exhausting even. And the best way to reignite enthusiasm is to step away.

The starter in the G died, we have 3 cars, and the priority last month was getting my kid off to college, not getting my car fixed. So I made a little family announcement that I'd deal with it in September, and not turn the G's repair into a crisis moment. While that might sound all noble, you're right, it was difficult.

I just picked up my 6MT, these things are so much fun to drive with a proper manual gear box. I've worked for Infiniti for years in the North so they are extremely rare here.

Very cool. Now go get yourself the RJM pedal and any make/model STS, right away. They're both inexpensive and (relatively) easy to install, and together will make your driving experience awesome.

This car actually came with the RJM pedal pre-installed! It's this car: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g-s-fs/...-warranty.html (I bought it as a repaired salvage title so not everything is the same as in this fs post)

I'm unfamiliar with STS though, what is that?
