Turbobrick Neutral Newbie November 18, 2002 Share November 18, 2002 Although Jap, this G35 is offered in the US only. I really adore this baby! Engine & Transmission Power on the G35 comes from the 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve VQ35DE, a derivative of Nissan's ubiquitous VQ-engine series, which has been recognized as one of the "Ten Best Engines" by Ward's Auto World magazine for seven consecutive years now. Fully built of aluminum, this V-6 produces a healthy 260-horsepower at 6000rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4800rpm, thanks to a long list of advanced systems, like continuously variable valve timing control, micro-finished crank journals and cam lobes, and molybdenum coated lightweight pistons. It also features a "noiseless" timing chain for silent operation and an electronically controlled "drive-by-wire" throttle system. So far, the power plant is mated to an advanced 5-speed, electronically-controlled automatic transmission with a manual shift mode, but soon after the introduction of the 350Z and G35 SportCoupe, a 6-speed manual will be available, which should suit the car's dynamic character much better. Suspension Based on a four-wheel multi-link setup, the G35's suspension uses two separate lower links and a long upper link up front to minimize alignment changes. A design separating the shock absorbers from the springs by locating the former inline with the wheel center, in the rear helps reduce suspension friction and wind-up motion of the axle during acceleration. Intended to provide a smoother and more comfortable ride, the suspension utilizes aluminum components for reduced unsprung weight, and incorporates "ripple control" shock absorbers with damping control lips to suppress high-frequency, micro-amplitude vibrations. The optional sport-suspension features tauter springs, higher damping-rate shocks and wider 215/55R17 performance tires. Brakes Decelerating the G35 are 4-wheel vented discs, sized 11.7 x 0.9 in. up front and 11.5 x 0.6 in. in the rear. They are coupled to a 4-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), to distribute the brake force depending on load condition (passengers and cargo), and Brake Assist, which senses hard or panic pedal application and to provide maximum braking capacity. Chassis Laser welded roof- and body-side-panels, in conjunction with a dual bulkhead engine compartment construction result in superb structural rigidity, and enable the entire body to function as a damper for vibrations. Driving stability, ride comfort, and noise reduction should benefit from these enhancements. Aerodynamics Mizuno, leader of the Skyline (G35) design-group, put a high emphasis on aerodynamics, particularly on the control of airflow below the body. A flat undercarriage, extensive use of diffusers and the optional rear-wing, in correspondence with the sleek bodywork, return an exceptionally low drag-coefficient of 0.26 (0.27 without the optional rear-wing) and zero aerodynamic lift front and rear. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie November 18, 2002 Author Share November 18, 2002 Based on the Infiniti G35 Sedan's FM-platform, Infiniti plans to release the head-turning G35 Sport Coupe this November. Keeping general design cues of the 4-door version like the vertically oriented headlights, or the L-shaped rear lights, the 2-door version is immediately recogniseable as a G35. In good old coupe-fashion, it features a long, low-slung hood, a muscular stance, and a sweeping roofline, providing a more sporting appearance than its larger relative. For the coupe, Nissan's 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 will produce 280hp and 270 lb-ft of torque (versus the sedan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
