Actually the 3.5 Nissan has won Wards engineering best engine 13 years in a row. Ive had 3 of them, 158K miles, 187K and the one in the garage has 142K, never a problem, a great and fast engine.

drive all 3 cars a few times if you can, get the one that feels right. After all you are going to be driving it more than looking at it.
I also understand the 'look' of the GE. But I can tell you as a former GD owner it is a great car to drive.
Sorry about your car being 'gone' regardless of where it went......

 

if you got the money for a g35, buy another fit and use the spare money on upgrades :-)

 

OR just get a G35 or whatever and save your money not getting mods... Do you plan to mod it substatially or leave it basically close to stock (drop and wheels)? Ask yourself that! :3

If I had to do it all over again, I would've gotten a faster car (SI, WRX, EVO, STI, GTI, S2000 and etc...) to begin with so I don't have to mod the shit out of it to gain performance which saves me more money in the long run. But that's just me though...

PS I plan to trade-in my GE8 in a few months. (just saving up a BIG down payment) :P
