G35 new info/pics...

sup, i got some new pics of this badass ride...just 2 i think...:D

and here's the second...:D

also, the factory reps wanted some of the retailers opinions on which front end to use as the production model coming in March of 2002...CLICK HERE (http://www.infinitiownersclub.com/g35_vote.htm) for the poll hosted by www.infinitisuperstore.com btw go to their site, click on the g35 link on the bottom left, then register for the latest updates on the g35, lates. ;)

if the link to the poll doesn't work, try to register for the new g35 info, then they'll send you the link via e-mail.

I'm guessing that the I35 in the car mags is not the same as the G35 everyone is raving about....

As for the I35 itself, who in their right mind would spend money for a steering wheel heater!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

aaaahhhh, the things that set infiniti off from any other manufacturer, thats why we own one right??? :) ...i'm guessing the steering wheel heater option would most likely be seen or should i say felt in most cars up north, now what infiniti needs is a steering wheel cooler, cause texas is too f*cken hot :cool:

OH YA :) that would be nice..
Maybe a remote-activated thermofrost-cooled interior :)
heh getting carried away here..

Correct. The I35 is the I30 with the new 3.5 under the hood. The G35 is the replacement for the G20 and will be called the Skyline in Japan.

It is not the Skyline GTR replacement. That is to be released some time in the future. The G35 is the Skyline sedan replacement.

Confused? Hope not.

I'm loving this car...the only thing is that rear-end.
I'm not to sure about it. I can't think of what they could change to make it better, but I wish they would do something else

Okay, cool. I think I've got it. :) I am just glad to have my 93 Infiniti in good shape... I won't even begin to taunt myself with all these new-fangled automobiles *lol*

the steering wheel heater is on what car? how much is the unit or do you have to buy the whole steering wheel ? would it fit in a g20 p11 any more info on this option

Man I don't wanna piss on anyones parade here but you guys are aware that this car will only be available with a slushbox? (Infiniti dealer burst my bubble with this info)

he...as long as it comes with the VQ motor, its all good to me. BTW the auto will most likely be a 5 speed auto with tiptronic. also a coupe model is in the works, so maybe they'll put a 6-speed in it or something, i don't know, here's a pic...

well, if they come with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, than that is fine with me...
Otherwise, I'm gonna hold out for the stick. If Infiniti doesn't do it, will probably have to get a Z

is there going to be a steering wheel heater option in this car i thought i saw someone write something like that

The I35 has a steering wheel heater, I'd be willing to bet that they will use the same steering wheel.

RASHINBAN.

I'm sure that they will have a standard cog box as well as your choice of slush box or paddle shifter. (After all this is a Skyline and it is aimed right for the 3 Series BMW)

i called parts for the steering wheel heater but they said they dont have any car that has that do you know where i could get this and how much and would this steering wheel fit on a g20 or would the heater mechanism be added to an existing steering wheel
thank you

I'd imagine a steering wheel heater is a coil inside the wheel, so you'd have to get a new one, but thats just a guess.

but your avatar says you live in Florida....What the hell you need a heater for??

lol yeah i live in florida now i just bought my first house here in fl about 5 months ago but i also have a aprtment in nj so i'm in the process of moving i already payed off last year for 3 year lease so i have it for two more years so me and my girlfriend travel back and fourth from nj to fl moving stuff and also visiting her family my new house is in brandon,fl and my apartment is in union nj well to answer your question basically i have a sunroof that i barely open but just having it makes me happy u know what i'm sayin and overall we spend alot of time up north so u can imagine the winter
and last
it just sounds cool dont you think so..

ok, that excuse is good enough.

you might want to check out a local motorcycle shop, but not a dirt bike shop. Heated grips are pretty popular on touring bikes in cold areas.
They won't fit your steering wheel, but you may be able to figure a way to make it work for you.
no idea how much they cost.

here's a pic of heated grips:

haha guess what i got em already i bought them from woodbridge motorsports in jersey cost me umm i forgot that was a while ago anyway i got it on my 98 rsv mille i put them on last winter when we all whole bunch of grown guys would play football in this big field every sunday and the thing is it was suppose to be some sort of toughmen football so anyway all the harley guys would bust out their harleys on the cold weekends put on mad layers of clothing and head on out to the park to show i guess that they not that old and still got the spirit from being young or whatever ok i'm babbling and i'm sure you dont want to hear all this crap so sorry
umm back to the heated grips i didnt know it worked the same i figured it used whatever massagers have in them to heat it up well come to think about it i guess it could only be that coil

didnt someone say it was the i30 that had it any more details on this let me know
casual

OH MY GOD I WOULD KILL FOR A STEERING WHEEL HEATER!!!! . i swear my hands freeze to the wheel in the winter here (near fairbanks alaska) where it gets to 60 below zero , but i guess for now ill just wear beatter gloves for the next 439 days then i will be back in sunny florida where my freinds gripe "its too cold to do anything" when it gets to 60 above ...

The latest news I read on the G35 is that it is the replacement for the G20 and it is based on the Nissan Skyline in Japan. It will have 6-speed manual transmission and can crank up to 280 hp (I35 is at 260 hp).

I personally hate the looks of the new G35. The rear-end is somewhat like the Acura 3.2 Coupe and the front-end is a dim shadow look of Porsche or what not. Nevertheless, the combinations of the front- and rear-end on the car just look aweful.

I don't know what you guys think but I like the looks of the I35 Sport. I hope the production G35 will be somewhat like the I35 with all the goodies, yes including HEATED STEERING WHEEL or COOLER STEERING WHEEL, only then I see the G35 is a "must get car" otherwise, G20 is still considered legendary.

First impression is key.

Cheers.

Heres a pic of the new Primera (as it will be released in Europe) Kind a looks like the pics at the start of this topic. Not the new Skyline (G35) as someone claimed.

damn that looks UGLY, reminds me of an echo :apuke:

my mom has a steering wheel heater on her X5, it's sweet in the winter. When it's cold, and you put on the heater, the heated seats and the steering wheel heater at the same time... it's so toasty, you never wanna get out of the car :D
I'm not sure if my dad's XJR or SL500 has a steering wheel heater, they should, but i don't think they do

I've used the steering wheel heater in the summer sometimes too, so even if you do live south you might use it. My hands get cold easily, it was like 75 and i was in shorts and a polo-T at night, i got cold :)

No joke, it seems to take forever for our cars to cool off down here in Texas.

I heard the G35 will sit between the I35 and the G20, with 255 horses.....

no i think the G35 replaces the G20

ive heard that the nissan 350z is gonna be around 260hp .. wouldnt it be kinda weird if the G35 pushes more hp then the sports car NIssan 350Z? maybe not considering that other bigger sedans have more hp then smaller cars.. but whatever

i think that the steering wheel heater is for the I35 . but that should be standard in every car.. just cause its that cool :)

anyway i dont like the g35 too wierdly misshaped.. dont kno doesnt apeal to me .. but what u gonna do? cant have everything

I'd probably end up going with the Z b/c it will be affordable and alot faster than the G35 b/c I know its going to be at least 3300lbs or so. I bet with a little kit on it, it wouldn't look so bad.
