battery disappointment
I just replaced mine at 2 years 10 months. To add insult to injury Toyota put in a battery that was 7.75" tall. All standard G35 batteries here are 8" tall. I had to hack saw the rear hook off the battery hold down and braze it back on .25" lower. First incidence of Jap-Crap engineering I've run into except for the obvious tachometer and rear seat rip-offs.
