Hello people!!!

Im sorry. Im a "new" member buy I dont even have a G37, however I do have REAL dreams of having one within the next year.

My name is Walker im 21 and I live on the island of OAHU (hawaii)

A few things Id like to hear. Pro's and Con's. and PLEASE be honest. I really want to know what im getting myself into!. I have bought a 05TL. I havnt done ANY research before purchasing it and afterwards found out about all the CON's! Skweeking motor/made in USA (NON JDM)/Parts are VERY hard to come by because no one in Japan makes shiiet for the TL. and its not as powerful as id like. Not to mention I have an 5spdAUTO and I have a NEED for some speed.

I also only have internet at my work, and its a FAWKING old comp so it doesnt have window's flash and yada yada so I cant really look up the specs on these cars. Whats the base G37 and how many HP and whats the "S" and how many HP. Should I get 6spd? I THINK SO! how much HP would a fully loaded 6spd be? Whats the average MPG? how much does it cost to fill up? I know, I know, I have ALOT of questions. sorry

Any information is welcome. Once again

welcome to the forum.... get the 6MT and black obsidian as well

if you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living @ age 21? pretty young to finance your own G, but that's good you're independent

all g's have the same horsepower, S stands for sport, and just has bigger rims, bigger brakes that have the aftermarket look on them... have "infiniti" written on them... my average mpg right now is 19, i do A LOT of city driving, our tanks are about 20 gallons i believe... fillup is usually around 40-50 since i don't go all the way down to empty

so far i have like 3600 miles on it, i love every moment of driving that car, especially all the heads that turn

i don't experience any of the blindspot things you are talking about, maybe it's your positioning

wats up dude. welcome to the forums!

pretty much everything was summed up by aliiin, but you won't be spending 40-50 at the pump. here in HI, thats about how much you'll be spending when you're filling it from half tank due to the prices.

i got a 6MT and i'm getting about 20 mpg so far. not bad at all.

Hey, I work with the City. I am independent. I have "somewhat" my own place. or infact I rent out a room, So not really my own place but I do pay my own bills.
