Hi folks,

I'm fairly new to the forums, been browsing for a while, and in the process of purchasing an '04 300GT. Just tonight, I noticed that some of the V35 sedans around have some type of mudguard thingys attached behind front and rear wheels, but the one I'm buying doesn't. I'm thinking that they might come in handy as I'll be doing some driving on dirt roads from time to time (the folks place) and would provide some extra protection from stones/grit throwing up on the skirts. Anyone know if they're available anywhere?

Cheers,

Richard

ps. not getting the 19" rims shown in the pics for the same reason above, even though they look pretty nice, add to that I can't afford them right now either!

my experience..... the mudguard is so hard to clean~ :P , unless u've got a trained right/left arm to handbuff it, otherwise its hard with machine buff due to the edge/angle

I don't really care how hard it is to clean - if I have to hand buff it, then that's what I'll do!

I've spotted some Infiniti G35 splash guards as they call them available from the US - would they be the same as for the V35?

exactly the same. go and order some.

I replaced mine with US G35 coupe splash guard when I accidentally scrape it.

when the replacement came it had USG35 written at the back of it, and guess what when I took off my oem one? same part number.

I have noticed that there is a difference in shape between the Infiniti 03-04 splash guards and the 05-06 splash guards, besides the 03-04 being two tone and the 05-06 being completely body colour. I want the completely body colour guards, so just wondering if anyone knows if there's any actual difference in the rear quarter panels of the 03-04 Infiniti and the 05-06?

No Difference at all, Nissan dropped the 2-tone look in 2005. If you pick up a set of earlier ones all you need to do is paint them

I emailed Riverside Infiniti and the guy there reckoned there was a slight difference in the sheet metal between the 03-04 G35 and the 05-06, reckoned the later ones wouldn't fit. Have to say though that the later ones look a lot nicer in shape, aside from the paint issue.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
