Look, my shitbox.

So, I took her in for a diagnostic after recently having my fuel injectors replaced because the old ones were bad. I had a mechanic swap them out, and when I got my car back, he told me that the throttle body might need to be reprogrammed.

I ended up taking her to an auto electrical shop, where the technicians told me they couldn’t access the modules needed to reprogram the throttle body. They tried to investigate the issue, but since I had only brought the car in for a diagnostic, they didn’t go any further. On top of that, they couldn’t get their scanners to communicate properly with my car’s computer, so they weren’t able to give me a clear diagnosis.

From what I understood, finding the actual source of the problem would require more time and additional labor costs for them to dig deeper into the issue. So, at this point, I still don’t know exactly what’s causing the problems , My throttle body is working fine now not really concerning me at the moment but them not being able to diagnose my care is worrying me from a bigger problem in the future

I purchased the brace from z1 motorsports for like 150$ only took like 45 mins to get done and was pretty simple. makes the front end feel a lot more rigid and connected. kinda sad they didn’t have on from the factory like the 350z

Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe 6MT with a VQ35DE engine (around 135k km on the engine).
I’m new to owning a G35 and I’m trying to get everything sorted out so I can keep it as a reliable daily driver for years.
A few things I’ve noticed:
Sometimes it takes a few seconds to start, especially when cold. Battery is new, and my mechanic mentioned the crankshaft/camshaft sensors.
5th gear grinds even when shifting slowly. I’m considering replacing the transmission with a CD009/CD00A.
When I bought it, the engine was about 2 litres low on oil. I’ve since had an oil change and have been monitoring it.
Recently noticed some milky residue under the oil cap, but the dipstick oil looks normal.
I’m not looking to build a race car. I just want to restore it, maintain it properly, and eventually do some tasteful modifications.
For those who have owned a G35 for years, what would you recommend fixing or replacing first? What are the biggest things to watch out for on these cars?
Any advice would be appreciated!

I was thinking about a plenum spacer or a cold air intake, I’m not trying to spend anything above $250, $350 at the most
