unfortunately its not in my car. my friend wanted me to give him some pointers so i drove his g35 around buttonwillow. this is the first time i've ever driven his car, so i wasn't pushing too hard. the suspension was set too soft, so after i had him adjust the dampers which helped a lot. the g35 is pretty fun, but it feels really heavy and it doesnt communicate well (that was also in part to the soft suspension setting). the stock brembo brakes are not up to the task of stopping an r-compound equipped g35 though. at the end of the session the brake fluid boiled, when i pitted in the brakes were smoking and his once gold brembo calipers are now a dark bronze color laugh.gif. time for a big brake kit and brake ducts

dang that is pretty heavy
