January Ricers
Here we have another owner who basically raped his G by replacing some parts with some of the most ricey POS I have ever seen.
Just because the car is black, the owner decided to replace the OEM sheet metals on the door with a carbon fiber replacement. Ok, I understand that it saves weight, but, why not repaint it to match the car? Car looks half'-assed.
Don't get me started with the GT-R kit. I can't afford a GT-R, so lets make my G look like one. haha. FAG. I mean, all that money that could have been spent on some nice wheels, and a paint
job on the doors, he decides to get a GT-R bumper.
And what do we have here? Nice paint job, but A Honda Accord bumper? LOL

Check this before your powertrain warranty is up!
EDIT: not 60k, but before powertrain warranty is up. This is covered under the powertrain warranty (70k on first gen Gs). Issue applies to both coupes & sedans.
I've ran into a few VQ35DE motors so far that have had oil pooling between the spark plug tube seal and valve cover when removing coil pack over cylinder #6.

In the video it is an extreme example of what will eventually happen if there is a leak that goes unchecked. I was just about to swap my plugs out at 60k and also spotted oil pooling at cylinder #6. It's at the dealer right now and they already replaced both valve covers under warranty. I highly recommend pulling out coil pack #6 and confirming you don't have a leak there while you're still under warranty. The spark plug tube seals aren't sold separately, they only come with new valve covers. See the invoice attached:
