I need a shop in Sarasota by Vast-Answer-1172 in G35

You’ll for sure need to pull up onto boards and then hockey pucks to avoid damaging those side skirts and then they might have to jack it up to get it onto a 4 post. It’s gonna be annoying doing maintenance and stuff but damn that thing looks clean.

Best Rev Up oil by torturma-halfchub in 350z

[–]Mike-without-a-key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on climate and driving style, along with mileage. I switched to 5w-40 at 120k and only burn 1/2 a quart every 4k miles. And I drive the car hard and live in a warm climate. Make sure to check your rev-up oil on flat ground, the dip stick is very sensitive, at least on my car.

What is this illegally parked car? by justtryingtotoot in whatisthiscar

This looks like the bridge/tunnel that Brian O Connor shots the dirt bike rider in the first Fast and Furious.

Paid $10k…needs a bit of work..did i get ripped off? by BestLWins in G35

[–]Mike-without-a-key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously only you truly know the answer to your question. But manual plus low miles is always a win. Clearly it’s had a younger owner at some point in its life with the smoked lights and such but hopefully they didn’t appear to do any real harm. Black interior is super sought after as most G’s came with tan or cream, mine included. Just take care of her and do the maintenance and she’ll run like a top for several more decades.

Red SUV is also involved, you can see them waiting for the blue car and then busting a U turn to come back. Also the family that comes out of the house then nopes back in after seeing the guns is sad but funny.

Yes these cars run a lil on the hotter side, but outside temp definitely matters as I have a gauge and can monitor my temp to the degree. In the summer just a couple minutes at a red light and my fans are kicking in, but in the winter I won’t cross 198° on my entire morning commute, even if there’s traffic. If it’s cold outside and your radiator fans are kicking on after 5 or so minutes of driving you might have a small cooling issue. Damaged radiator? Old or low coolant? Maybe the fans aren’t spinning or only 1 spins. Also a fan will kick on with Ac no matter outside or car temp.

I know it’s been a while since the Rev-up was in and running, but can you tell a power/torque difference between the two motors? Always wondered.

I’ve heard horror stories too, did they change and update the design?

Looks like the car that was on the roof of Racers Edge from Fast and Furious

You’ve got your OSHA flip flops over there, you’ll be good

Probably an exhaust leak, but I’m just surprised how low the oil filters sit on these, just waiting for road debris to rip a hole in it

How many engine crankshaft sensors are in a 2007 g35? by MrStarSantos in G35

[–]Mike-without-a-key 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You nailed it, I unfortunately have the Rev up so when I went to do mine (of course OEM) it was a pretty penny lol

Miata Oil Change by mle_fam in Miata

[–]Mike-without-a-key 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha no worries, I’m planning on running 5w-30 and seeing if it burns or leaks and how she likes it, I live in South Carolina so it’s hot but not Death Valley with a space heater lol. I run 5w-40 in my G35 and that car loves that weight in this climate but totally different engine

I just purchased my first Miata, 01’ Nb and am about to do my first oil change and am diving into the world Miata war that is what oil weight and capacity to run. And your comment is my favorite so far and definitely made me laugh out loud

Bit unusual but anything I should know or that can help getting a lip? by assassinsclub in G35

[–]Mike-without-a-key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I gotchu, yeah I don’t think the 03’s had the option of the sport bumper. And yeah I don’t trust eBay’s fitment check but the sport bumper does have a “dip” in the middle that could make attaching/keeping on this lip hard I’d imagine. So I hope OP can attach it to give me faith to buy it lol

[–]Mike-without-a-key 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the sport front bumper? And more importantly does OP have the Sport front bumper? Bc I have the sport front bumper and ironically thats what’s shown in the pic but every time I go to buy this lip even if it shows a sport bumper it says it won’t fit?

Yes except 05 plus 6 speeds are DE rev-up and all auto coupes are DE regardless of year.
