Default Best G35 forum?

Hey all. I'm going to be looking into a g35 6mt coupe pretty soon and i want to know which forum is the best. I'm looking for a forum similar to this one, where people really know what they're talking about, a ton of info and lots of people with modded cars so i can get ideas for what to do. Any suggestions? So far i'm looking at:

g35driver.com

g35club.org

6mt.net

and my350z.com (g35/g37 forum)


any suggestions?

I think freshalloy.com is another good one.

Freshalloy.com is pretty much dead now unfortunately. I used to be on that site all the time before I bought my Lexus when I had alot of interest in the 350Z developement/debut, G35 sedan/coupe, M45, GTR, Altima, Maxima and that site was great and while not as good as CL I think it was one of the closest to CL. They were usually very up to date and informative on Nissans/Infinitis and other cars and had some good members but the past few years interest and content has fallen off dramatically and I never go on it anymore. The last time I went on it I needed to register to even look at the forums and there was nothing good on them anyway.

I would also like to find a good Infiniti site as I am pretty interested in a used M35/M45 or G37 coupe in the future.

I've been on G35driver.com for about 4 years now and I have to say it's a real mixed bag. They have some excellent subforums for highly technical topics (electrical wiring, interior topics and other subforums, etc.) and for the most part topics are civil and members are cool. However, being that you can get an '03 G coupe or sedan for the mid teens these days you also get a very large share of punks who are even more immature online.

I once posted a pic of a brand-new, with dealer temporary license plates Lambo Gallardo parking outside a Neiman Marcus valet once, and I mistakenly typed in "LP640" or something like that in the title, which I couldn't change. I was bombarded with hatemail and rants that went on for a couple of pages and I was like, "Dude, get a grip! That was a mistake!" and the hate mail went on and the mods didn't even do anything.

I haven't really seen anything even close to that on CL, and if they ever did anything like that on Acurazine (which I'm also on), you get banned, and I've seen that twice already. They are very civil there and you can also get really good tech advice. Closest thing to CL out there, IMO.

Use G35driver.com (or its sister forum, MyG37.com) but only for the technical stuff. Same thing for several BMW forums as well (the immaturity level is very high on them as well).

I used to spens a lot of time at G35driver.com. Pretty solid place to get decent info and the members are pretty cool. The forum is geared more towards performance mods

Yeah performance mods will likely be first if/when i do get the G. Honestly I've been on benzworld (when i had my ML430) and Maxima.org, and CL is undoubtedly the best forum i've ever been on. Maxima.org was pretty good, pretty similar but now i imagine it has gone south since you can get a good used 4gen for like 4k. I never went on benzworld after a week or so because of the pretentious *******s that were on that site. I guess we'll see how g35driver.com works out. Thanks guys
