- Why did I buy this historically problematic G35 two times?
Before you buy a G35 or if you already own a G35, this video covers a few of the common Issues that G owners will most likely experience during the lifetime of the car. 
Авто/Мото
Don’t forget about the self closing doors that break your shins lol
Ouch lol
LOL....No shit,especially on a drive way that might have as much as 1% down angle to it. Those doors are heavy.
Bruhuhhh!! At first I was like hmmm wont have to shut the door behind me but then it was hello leg breaker
🤣
Frs tho 😂😂😂
The biggest issue I have with my G is that any change i have in my pockets falls out when I push the accelerator to the floor.
First world problems xD
This is the best comment i have ever seen
Trueee....Wish this guy mentioned all the awesome things about owning a G35
G.O.A.T comment. 😂
I think I’ll be buying one I strayed away towards the g37 but this honestly doesn’t look bad at all
Key word on INFINITI ... RELIABLE. I've owned two (FX35, G35 sedan). Take care of the regular maintenance and these vehicles will run forever.
Yeah I crashed mine into a deer and was in a secluded hill billy area and had to drive it home with a blown radiator for about 5 miles and the car so far has ran perfectly fine after being rebuilt.
Finally a factual Z/G issue. I hate all these ones where people are complaining about aftermarket subs they put in or basic sports car complaints. Like oh I cant load a couch in my Z... No shit lol
NoOneImportant556 hahahaha funny stuff man! Thanks for the support
NoOneImportant556 y don't u just get a vaydor body kit on it it looks beautiful plus they change the whole interior
Steven Rickett the g 35 37 m35 45 have issues and I hate the fact infinity won't honor the issue I wouldn't even take a next infinity even if it was a gift
NoOneImportant556, lmao facts bro
CK_32 what exhaust system are you running? And is it California legal?
As he was naming the issues i was just like damn i have all those issues rn hahahaa
G35 VqFamily 😂
Fucking facts 💀😂
G35 VqFamily dude not only you. Stay away from ricers. Get a Stang 5.0 or Camaro or BMW or Dodge Hellcat!
How much should a seat power buttons replacement cost me? Also the radio won't work and me my AC get stuck. Can an aftermarket radio fix it??
my '03 joined this club too
Shocks, CD player jammed, trunk wire short, crappy keyfob, not the best paint job, almost impossible to drive in Canadian winter; but still love my 07 G35.
Hasib Imam Infiniti won't be around much longer followed by Nissan. Just the facts.
Get the X model
Problems bring you and your car closer together lol
David Klimmek yeah that’s not true at all
Man, you nailed pretty much everything 'zactly in my '06 G. But that's okay, it's still a blast to drive - I changed out my headlights - haven't yellow'd yet. Still love to drive, and dump oil in it. Wish there was an "easy" way of telling how much oil is in it at any time (without using dip-stick).
I had an 06 white pearl with sport package. I miss the crap outa that car. I would like to buy another one in the future.
Jonathan Rojas .. I still got mine .. when I have it only have 3 miles and now with 160k and still run like new ..
Jonathan Rojas my friend give you his prob free if you pick it up?
Notice the door stayed open in the beginning...that’s not even a g35 is it?🤔
Ramen Tony 😂😂
Lol he in the top part of a parking deck he parked facing downwards at the slightest ssf t angle you can see at 6:42
Biggest issues are the oil consumption and alignment. Gotta invest around 3k (more like 1k if they remain on stock suspension) to get them fixed if people wanna save money in the long run. Oil catch can and oil cooler for the oil problems. If using coil overs, all camber control and toe arms are a must along with an optional eccentric lockout kit to maintain alignment. Otherwise, tires will be chewed up quickly. I have the sedan variant that im building up as a streetable track car.
Wildchild_inc what yrs have oil consumption, rev up
I just started to have the lower control arm issues. Front inner tires were just being eaten up like crazy. Glad to see there's a video on how to fix it.
These issues are pretty spot on... I'm starting to experience a few myself. Thanks for the video links!
Anytime dude. Hope this helps you out!
Good video! I have an '03 350z, and to sort of help other VQ owners, I'd like to share some suggestions for maintenance here. The headlights need to be clearcoated. I know Z1 offers this as a service, and it's something I'll do eventually. I wet-sanded mine, and I'm stuck redoing it every several months. The lower control arm bushing can be replaced - another Z1 part, I think they recommend having a shop do it. Switching to synthetic transmission fluid eliminated the bit of 5th gear grind I had. I've also heard of some revup owners who've installed oil coolers, and that helped with oil consumption. Cooler oil doesn't get vaporized, and sucked into the intake through the pcv valve.
Nice video! Definitely considering one of these. Those issues really aren't too bad. I currently have a GTI, so this thing sounds like a tank compared to what I have to worry about now lol
After you buff your headlights, get them clear coated, they'll never yellow again.
Dimitry m i heard that on chris fix
Mr. Turboski hey brother thanks for the idea I think I’m going to try that. I just got the G35X and one of the headlights had two little holes at the bottom on the cover where someone drilled the holes for wheel holes. As soon as I get that replaced I am going to clearcoat them
Lol, similar to my FX35.. which was 273,000 miles now.
The oil consumption with the VQs is so odd, though. Apparently, there is a fix and that's by converting the circulation to a closed pcv system via catch can and breathers.
Foggy headlight assembly
Wheel bearings
Struts/Shocks
Lower oil pan gasket
Oil cooler
Valve cover/valve cover gaskets
Catalytic converter (swapped for ART pipes)
Still whippin' entry level sports cars on the road after 10 years.
That mis-aligned shift knob is tripping me out!
Another thing to add, is the clutch pedal on 05+ (manual trans) can get stuck halfway down in hot weather over 80deg F if you drive in heavier or stop-n-go traffic. I have a new stainless steel clutch line (installed 02/2017) and also replaced the master cylinder 2yrs ago and the pedal will still get stuck sometimes.
Good vid though!
Dude nice videos bro , very helpful👍
I always loved the look of the G35 Coupe. I still think it's one of the best looking coupes ever made. I finally joined the club and bought a low mile, Black on Black 2014 Infiniti Q50 3.7 Premium RWD sedan a couple of months ago, and I freaking love this car despite what some of the magazines said about it. Even bone stock this car freaking hauls ass pulling all the way to about 7,850 rpm before the fuel cutoff with the 7AT and the lightweight 17" wheels in RWD form. I already started modding it. I installed dual K&N air filters into both of the factory intakes. I deleted both exhaust resonators... It sounds amazing now by the way. I also installed Berk HFC's. I ditched the heavy and terrible runflat tires with 8 pound lighter (per tire), one size wider 235/55 Z-rated performance tires. I also replaced the only exterior lights on the car that weren't LED from the factory with LED's, and those are... The red LED rear turn signal, and white LED license plate bulbs. Now all the exterior lights are LED and it looks sick! Especially at night. I'm planning on doing many more mods. I already notice some nice power gains over stock dropping over 60 pounds off the 3,611 pound curb weight between the tires, resonator deletes & HFC's. I'll replace the K&N filters with twin Stillen LT CAI's and tune it via UpRev or EcuTek and keep modding from there. I have videos of my Q50 if you want to check it out. Thanks for all the great videos. I'll subscribe after this comment. I saw one of your WRX videos as well. Very nice man! Have a good one.
I just bought my 04 G35 and I knew beforehand that the driver's window actuator was iffy and the passenger door lock actuator was iffy but I was fine with it, they aren't hard problems to fix. It is cool to know that these are pretty common things though.
I mean "comforting" not cool.
The window issue can be fixed by pressing the window motor reset button after you remove the door panel. Press and hold while rolling the window up and then again while rolling down. Don't push the power window button to far to activate auto roll up. Add a after market lock actuator to fix the locking issue.There are RUclips videos for both.
The window motors will gradually fail with use, usually every 2-3 years.
Also on the roadster models the top will stop working every 5 years. The motor is pretty much the same as the doors.
The lower control arm will always fail about every 80,000miles.
The Valve Cover gasket will wear out. It is a pain in the ass to replace, it's a 8hour job on the first go.
Valve cover will need to be replace if hard starts persist, this mean oil is in plugs because valve cover is cracked.
Crank case and cam shaft sensors will need to be replace or a hard start will occur.
My 05 G35 Coupe 6MT Sport/Aero package (101K miles, 16 years old) has had similar issues. No door lock/window issues. Suspension is starting to clunk. Solution probably would be to replace the 30 or so bushings. Camber kit is a must otherwise you will go through tires very quickly. Oil consumption is tolerable if you stay under 4K RPMs. If you visit Red Line often, you'll add a quart every 3K miles. Use 100% synthetic oil 10w30 if your climate permits, otherwise 5w30. Original paint is soft and will deteriorate after 10 years even with the best of care. Original clutch pedal will fail. Replace with a RJM Pedal and install new master/slave cylinders with steel hose. Use DOT 4 synthetic fluid for maximum longevity. Front rotors will develop heat spots and will pulsate. A good budget brand is Power Stop with Akebono ASP Pads. Beware of fitment issues with rear E Brake as there various sizes of rear rotors. Avoid cross drilled/slotted rotors if you don't want NVH. Your dash will crack, spend $1500 to fix it or buy a dash cover for $60. All in all ,the car is very enjoyable every time I drive it.
Yeah...exact same place on my tan interior where the leather tears--2006 G35. That being said I've had damn good luck with mine--2006 bought in 2012 from a dealership. Oil and maintaince done and always garaged. Has about 120k miles but being retired this G only gets about 4-5k max per year in miles. I love that freakin car and it still looks good! No oil burning,no leaks,I've never had a window motor go bad. Fingers crossed.
I brought a salvaged 2004 G35 with 6200 miles in 2005 for $22,500 otd. I still have it today with about 84,000 miles, I did my own maintenance, like oil change, rear differential fluid, battery, brakes, driver side window motor , and just did the pulley belts last week for the first time. I will be changing out the spark plugs this weekend for the first time also. With that I don't have any major issues mentioned in this video. I park my car outside everyday since 2007 when my garage was full. The exterior look like shit, but the inside (leather seat and dash) still look pretty good without any tear. My G35's been very reliable all these years. Hope all is well.
Rebel Nitro good to know is parts expensive
Rebel Nitro Hey buddy how do you do the rear differential fluid
the locking mechanism is an issue for the explorer too, replaced it 3x within 7 years, just replaced it 2 years ago and just used the locks/actuators from an 04 Escape and that helped
Nick Herrera ... thanks for the info! I didn't know the explorer had this issue too. I wander if they did what Infiniti did and used cheap actuators from another car model. Infiniti used the actuators from the 350Z but forgot tot take into account the extra door weight of the G.
Just bought a 2006 G35 sedan with 278K+ miles on it and still going strong. The engine was inspected and no issues, just leaking tranny and power steering fluid that I’m gonna get repaired asap. Been pampering her since I got her the last few days. Her name is Desiré and she is fine as Hell
Thanks. I had an 05 sedan with sports package a few years ago. I may go back to the 2007 year g35 coupe. Appreciate the heads-up on the oil consumption.
Thanks Al lot very true and helpful
Great video! I love my g35 07 2nd one I’ve bought!
All things being equal and considering all the issues you mentioned in this Video, Which G35 Model Years would you recommend buying and which years to stay away from? And, which to buy, Manual or Automatic is preferred? Thanks for all the Good Info! Thumbs Up!
You probably already bought new lights but if you didn't already you can re-clear the headlights. No cleaner or restore kit is going to last you need to wetsand the old clear off and apply a new clear-coat layer and polish it. ChrisFix has a good video on how to do it. Maybe a $20 repair, i did it on my car 5 months ago and the lights still look new
Even with the problems, I love 06 G35 sedan and when I eventually sell it for a manual G I'm gonna miss it
Auto G35? Get a stick and some racing suspension and your life will change!
@@legendaryHoldings had some stiff ass coilovers but a couple months ago I got T-boned by an old lady so it's gone
great vid bro
Had every single one of these issues with my '03 6MT. 3rd gear synchro in mine went out after year of owning.
Locks? Nailed it.
Window motors? You betcha.
Seat tears? Absolutely.
Loved the car though. Classic styling.
Nick Johnson damn man. After 1 year? I heard the early year 03 and 04 had bad 3rd gears for the G and 350. They changed the transmission later on for the later years... same issue , different gears
Steven Rickett yeah I bought the car 2nd owner in 07 and he had replaced clutch to a JWT bc plates were bad. Had a lightened flywheel as well which caused synchro in 5th to act up occasionally. Also I had a problem with bank 1 not firing properly. Code would say misfire but it wasnt plugs and wasn't fuel pump. Figured it was a faulty ECU but I had to reset it every few weeks bc it would throw the CEL and go into limp mode sometimes.
But I loved it. Got an exhaust and shifter bushings and lowered it some good springs and wheels and tires and it was a blast. Traded it in for 1k above blue book too since I had Brembos and Nav. Had a few friends FI their G35s and will soon have another to do the same to.
Good luck enjoyed the vid!Steven Rickett
Nice video actually informative. I had a G35 coupe that still ran to 217k miles no problem want another one.
just got my 4th G coupe. My 1st a blk 05 manual coupe. Then a Grey n red interior 2011 ipl G37 coupe auto. Then a silver G35 coupe auto. Now a red 04 coupe auto. Everything you mentioned is right. A few more things are...the radiator will go so it's best to replace with an aluminum one. Slip n vdc sensors will come on. Door locks 🔒 will get stuck. Gas gauge in 2 of mine were out. If u have a manual put a stage 3 clutch at least. I had my 1st G from 09-2018 n changed it the clutch 3 times the last time with a stage 3. Love these cars always will. Next Hopefully I can get an R34 or R35 🙏
Great video
Naturally 3rd gear would wear the fastest since it gets the most usage. 🤔
Mines been good to me. Bought it from a bud who takes great care of his cars. Only thing that went out was my crankshaft position sensor so I replaced the other two also. Everything else has been great
nice G bro i got all the probs except the trans & locks & windows & headlights lol
Richard Manzanarez hahaha good stuff bro! Hopefully it stays that way for u
This car is gorgeous! I’m a Honda fanboy but absolutely love these old G35’s.
It's interesting that people are having some of these issues. I know that the headlights fog up, and the rev-up engine consumes more oil... but the other stuff is new to me. I've owned 2 350z's (05 and 07), and a 370z. I haven't had any of those problems. I've covered a lot of miles with them, and taken probably 50+ passes down the 1/4 mile.
hartsickdisciple ... I believe a lot of these issues are due to the fact that Infiniti tried using a lot of Nissan parts for the G35 instead of redesigning parts for the G specifically. When the G37 came out they redesigned everything which is why it has fewer issues. I believe that is why the Z doesn't have as many issues either. The parts were designed for the Z... An Infiniti dealer mechanic told me about reused Z parts for the G, that's the only reason I know about it
Nissan just threw on the Infiniti badge to appease the middle class masses (it's called nissan skyline 350gt in japan). The 350z has basically all the same issues the g35 coupe has because they are almost the same car minus the different wheel base length, lack of back seats, suspension tuning on shocks and few minor things i'm forgetting.
I've had two 350z's and both had window problems. Also the lower control arm bushings went out.
octavio b same on my g35 around 100k miles, easy fix tho
What is the control arm bushing problem, specifically, with your G ? How many miles ? I drive a 2007 M35X with 58,000 miles, and the car has been bulletproof for 11 years, other than regular maintenance, a set of brakes last year, and tires.
Great video. I have been going through the same problem with my 04 control arms. Sucks that it wasn't fixed 3 years later.
Very true! Would have been nice... but noooooo, they just left it lol Did you replace yours yet? I'm gana pop some polyurethane bushings in my stock control arms someday soon and put those back on the car. The ones on there now are temporary cheap ones for me until I could get the Poly bushings
I already replaced the top part but i apparently ordered the wrong parts for the bottom. Would you happen to know the exact name of it ? What i found on rockauto was front lower rearward but it wasn't right. So now I'm kinda lost until i take it to a shop.
Theron Lewis Jr. ... I'm a little confused. When you say "wrong parts for the bottom" do you mean the lower control arm? I'm just trying to understand what part your looking for so I can help you. There's a front upper control arm and a front lower control arm.
Apparently what i needed is actually called a compression rod but they are listed as lower forward control arms on most sites. Pretty confusing but i think i figured it out.
Theron Lewis Jr. ... did you bushing go bad in your compression rod? If so, you should check out Z1 motorsports . They sell just the bushing in polyurethane. It'll last longer and ride nicer than stock! Here's the website if you wanna check them out: www.z1motorsports.com/suspension/energy-suspension/energy-suspension-350z-g35-front-compression-rod-bushings-p-5193.html
I have an 03 and yup....ripped seats checked, bad locking mechanism check, bad window motor check, bad lower control arm checked. Luckily I dont have the oil issue and replaced my headlights for 06 projectors
The oil consumption would be a deal breaker for me. People act like its not a big deal but for me that is. Also, my OCD would convince me the piston rings are worn out lol.
lol I'm OCD as shit (tightening bolts twice, triple checking dipstick is in, triple checking connections) and I check my oil twice a week now because of the consumption. I feel you there but I still love the car. Keeps me on my toes, never know when I needa add oil hahahaha
I understand. To each his own. I can live with it. Maybe one day I'll say "wtf was I thinking" but for now I'll deal with it lol and as far as oil goes, I'm switching to a "high Mileage" oil next change to see if that helps because those oils have "gasket sealing" properties that are suppose to help. Maybe it will... maybe it won't. We'll find out and I'll do some experimenting from there. Thank you for the tip though on Penzoil and the natural oil. I'll take that into consideration.
Steven Rickett The g35 is hands down the best looking Japanese luxury sportscar IMO. And the best sounding too. Even the new Infinitis don't look as good as the 2005 gens.
Harris Montevallo ... ^ I definitely agree with you ^. I have other top pics but the G35 is always on top.
Steven Rickett Today when checking my oil I smelled like burning oil and a little white smoke any thoughts ? Pcv it’s coming from around that area and should i worry ?
Just got rid of my 04 G35 coupe 6MT and my god is what I can say haha
Luckily I worked at a Nissan Dealer for a while but I had issues since day one with it only having 63k on it. Window motors, door lock actuators, wheel bearings, brand new shift fork pin snapped and the slave cylinder went out at the same time pulling into my garage, burned an ungodly amount of oil at 70k and only got worse, interior fell apart, 1st to 2nd was notchy, axles clicking, and the camshaft position sensors went out. I still loved this car no matter what, and contrary to what it sounds like, I babied this car because it was my daily and is not fast enough to be a dick with IMO which is why I liked it for a daily. Never left me stranded and with the motordyne exhaust and air intake, youll be smiling all the time. Most everything I listed began or happened 4 to 6 months after ownership and I owned it for 2 years until 84k. Still one of the most beautiful cars to come out of Japan for sure.
Everyone has their own experience, and this is pretty inconsistent with anything I've ever heard about these cars haha. Case and point, I've had my G for a year, got it was 2.5x the miles you have, and have not yet had to spend a cent on repair. But like I said, everyone has their own experience
Silver Srt, I have an 03 Coupe 6MT and have experienced none of what you're saying. Pretty sure you got a car that must have been tracked or abused by the previous owner(s).
Silver Srt yea bro I had the same cam shaft censor problem on my m45 I had to change all of them shit cost me 1500 to replace now my motor went because I used 5w 30 and the bearings got fucked up I hate infinity now they knew nissan fucked the cars up and won't fix shit for free
Gully gwad Shit for $1500 they honestly ripped you off big time. I think combined with shipping it cost $60 and 30 minutes of my time.
Silver Srt it's a difference between ebay sensors and dealer sensors I had to change them all and a soloniods or whatever it's called auto zone had them for 80 dollar's for one
How you doing that Like You video. I just have a question, would you say that the if they need G35 2007 is more reliable than a bmw325xi. And how much do you spend on maintenance
I have a stock standard 2005 Nissan Skyline 350GT Coupe (what the G35 is badged as as an JDM import here in New Zealand). I’ve had it for 3 years and have had no instances of any of these “common” issues what so ever. One thing I’ve noticed watching these types of videos on issues like oil consumption and engine issues is that the engine has been modified in some way. I’m wondering if self or uncertified modifications are what cause a lot of issues?
The yellowing headlights can be fixed with some wetsanding and resprayed with rattle can clear coat.
I've tried, yellowing on the drivers side headlight is interior. Found that out after cleaning them twice unfortunately
so what's the best miles to buy these cars at? I want to buy me a automatic? any transmission problems? are they more reliable then a 2013 Hyundai genesis 2.0t?
Hey Steve how do I fix my trunk that will not open... Is there a fuse
Just picked one up last night off my homie that had a lifter tick && took apart the some of the motor && found oil on the spark plugs && now my trunk wont open && the seats are ripping where you said lol but damn i love my 06 G35 VQ34de haha
I've been using a a M/T 2005 G35 coupe since about 5 years now. I also have a 2009 QX56 and I have faced some similar issues between both of these vehicles. The leather tears down or comes off real quick so I had to get it stitched every now and then. The motor windings in the windows used to break or the cables disconnect so that needed some technical attention. The check engine light is always on even after I've gotten it checked with the local Infiniti dealership here (they say it's the car's computer, I can live with that lol) . The door hydraulics stop functioning at one point (especially in the QX, it's a very common problem with the backdoor lift) also have encountered issues with both the engines but its not a big deal with VKs and VQs as their repairing costs and engine parts are affordable. (Although I did end up swapping a 2JZ-GTE in the G lol) and yes, have replaced the headlights for about 4 times now in the G. (They just won't clean up!)All this apart, I love my babies. Infinities rule.
They are overrated. I use to own a g35 coupe and I sold it because once I got past how good looking it was, there wasn't much left besides a car that was going to nickel and dime me to death and wasn't as fun to drive as I was hoping for.
Looks like its best to avoid the Rev-Up motors in general
My IPDM computer went out on my 04 G35 is it worth fixing ?
Does a 2004 g35 sedan have oil problems too?
nice G all the issues you mentioned was spot on.. check out my G setup also in black
I'm just trying to get an automatic g for every driving to school and etc. with all these problems, is it not the right car to buy? I'm new to cars so i don't know much. Does the year of the car matter for these problems from happening?
Bought a 2005 with 150k on it and had to replace both cam sensors and crank sensor, the horn doesn't work and I can't adjust the seat. Bunch of electrical issues. It does run like a top. Very fast. I paid 1800.00 for it.
Today when checking my oil I smelled like burning oil and a little white smoke any thoughts ? Pcv it’s coming from around that area and should i worry ?
Same thing happen to me i have to open the door with the key cuz the mechanisms inside the door is not working, well i have to buy a new one 🤷♂️
Tbh, I used to love this car, I got a 2005 coupe, and now I hate it. The amount of electrical issues it has is insane. I recently ran into an issue where my radio just quit, and my AC was stuck on, and I lost all controls to the AC. Tried to fix it myself, gave up on that, spent the money to get the JDM double din kit, and threw an aftermarket into it, fixed the issue. But of course the JDM din kit was like $300 by itself.
i have a 2004 9nfiniti with 150,000 miles...only thing i hate is the dip stick with it being so hard to read..any suggestions..now with the high miles, iI get a strong exhaust odor when I start the car..would that have to do with the service engine light being on thanks
What if you get a oil change every 2500 miles instead of every 3000 miles will that help oil consumption
you forgot to add the peeling perforated leather paneling. Mine has started about 2 years ago on the rear right back panel. I've seen examples on different areas but all glue and adhesive would give eventually.
That is a great one! Thanks for that. Mine is actually currently peeled off all the way on the passenger side rear seat hahaha!!!
The worst problem I’ve had so far is my fuel reading issue, just ran out of gas last night 😒
So in the earlier years like 03 are the transmission/synchro issue not as bad?
My seats are tearing really bad. Any advice on how to repair it? Do I take it to the dealer ?
I have not had a single engine-related issue since I bought it this month last year, and I've put over 40 000km on it from 150. Obviously this is multi factorial, but this tends to be consistent with a lot of owners, hence why people call VQs bulletproof. As said in other comments, they burn a lot of oil (I know that is a given with most performance vehicles, but these ones burn a LOT), which is why you hear of so many people having rod knock. Top up a bit weekly and you'll be more than fine.
You are correct my friend, this car burns more oil than your average car!!! I do just that, I top off my oil once it gets to the "half" mark on the dipstick. I do this twice between oil changed, ends up being half a quart each time. So I'm adding 1 quart between oil changes. I noticed you use KM. Where are you from? Just curious :)
Couldn't agree more lol! And that's certainly a good habit to get into, I wish someone had told me that before I'd seen my oil pressure light upon breaking (because rods weren't getting oil when it went towards front). Luckily no knock, and now I'm on top of it. Had less then "low" on dipstick reading.. Makes me wonder why the oil light never came on before the pressure light. As for my location, I am about 30 minutes northeast of Toronto Ontario, how about you? Lots of Gs out here hahaha
What exactly is the name for the Bluetooth connector you use to play music. I’ve bough 2 and they don’t work;(
I go 5K KM for my oil change every time almost on the nose and yeah my 04 coupe will be down at half by then.
What exhaust do you have? Do you have a video on your exhaust?
Man this makes me feel even better about my RSX.
WhiteHawktriple7 ... RSX is a clean car dude! Good choice
RSX are cool cars. A friend had the Type-S and it is lighter, but it is not as torquey as the G35. I rode in his RSX-S and it didn't seem as fast.
Yeah i think they're probly better with turbos. Saw a video on RUclips of a 850hp rsx the other day!
i think that seat side near the edge there must be a car design problem cause mine tore too. I dont have any gear grinding on mine and the only time that do is when i let go the clutch a sec faster before i am in gear. otherwise, it shift perfect with no grinding. no window problems though the lock on the passenger side dont usually work on mine, but sometimes it do. As of oil consumption, it last long for my 04 coupe 6mt. I only need to change it or add more to it 2-3 times a year. My mpg is not really that great and i usually fill gas for it once every week. my average is about 15mpg driving from work and home. I guess thats what i get for flooring the car every time im an aggressive driver. 150k miles on it and still runs great and the check engine light only pop up once. its my all season car and i drive it in the snow. now i gotta repaint the edge of my rear fenders due to all the years of driving in salt, corrosion starting to show up.
Fortunately your 04 6MT is not a RevUp engine. There is very little oil consumption in most of those motors. Sounds like you got a solid one man!
most leather seats have that problem on driver side
Man I had one and for heaven's sake couldn't figure why my fan belt kept getting shred, and it will squeal like a litttle piggy too'
Was thinking of trading my Dart in for a G because the Dart Consumes oil like crazy...Guess the G does too. Back to the drawing board.
If you were to get a NON rev-up engine model G (revup only came in G35 05-07 6mt), it consumes a normal amount of oil for a NA sports car. It's not that bad. The rev-up motor is what will really suck down some juice! Just in case you were still interested in the G. I had no idea the Dart had bad oil consumption either! Good to know...
at least the 2.4l does. about a qt/600miles. Unless you totally baby it, then its about every 900miles
Scott Perkins ... sweet baby Jesus that's a lot of oil! Wow!
Lol! Still, she runs. I drive it not just to work, but for work.
That seat part is called the side bolster bud lol
My 2005 rev up sedan has 142,000 miles now and it uses about a quart every 5000 mile. It's been run HARD too.
Your very lucky my friend! You are 1 in a million. I wish I was in your shoes. My Revup is suckin down an average of 1 quart in 1.5 - 2 K miles
@@EdibleGrandpa Holy Cow bro! thats worse than a damn rotary engine
Are these the same issues with the sedans as well?
I have a 2003 infinity G35
Is my question is
I recently bought G35 And it had a after market radio
The air conditioner is crazy
It's going nuts is it because of the aftermarket radio
Is there a program That helps run the air conditioner in an Oem radio
I had a G37S my biggest problem was a trunk solenoid with quit working and my sunroof would leak my floorboards got soaked other than that I love the car I miss the car
my second gear bad lol, i feel it
Im planning to buy the g35 2004 do u think its worth it it has 140,000 miles
Im 16 nd im gonna have enough money to buy one by the time im 17 should i get a 2004 one as a first car?? Or should i go for a 2005-2006?
could I ask how often you would check the oil to top if off Steven? I drive my G as a daily so the oil would drain real fast ?
check it every week
The CD001 transmission is the one with bad synchros, the later years (such as 07 like yours) had the cd009 transmission which was a revision and fixed the synchro problem.
Thomas Moore .... I read that some of the cd009 transmissions still had some issues with 5th gear synchros. Not as common as 3rd gear synchros in the CD001 though.
Good point though!
Thomas Moore What is this an issue with it 06
My buddy had a 2008 350z that only had 30,000 miles or so on it that had a bad 5th gear synchro. He got the transmission replaced under warranty.
2006 with 108k, I have owned since 47k:
1) Have not had window motor issues
2) My seat is ripped and looks like garbage
3) I replaced my lower control arms, cost my front tires to wear out prematurely
4) I replace the oil about every 3,500 miles and it never fails: 5qts in and about 2.5-3qts out.
5) My headlights did fog, but I sanded down and clear coated them
6) Never had an issue with the remote
7) I hate that my transmission does tend to grind when going into 5th much like yours
All in all, 61,000 miles driven and I've replaced a set of brake pads, a set of tires, a battery and a blower motor for the HVAC. Repairs and routine maintenance over five years including tires right around $2,435.
Thanks for the info! 2 questions:Are you adding oil between oil changes to keep it topped off from that 2.5-3 qts out?Is your 06 a manual? Curious to see if this is a RevUp engine with same issue or a non revup sucking down this much oil.Thanks again for the thoughtful commentary about your own car on my video man!
Steven Rickett Yessir, it's a 6MT with the RevUp. From everything I've read on 6MT.net and G35Driver.com is that the 06 was plagued with most of the problem, hence the year that produced 298hp. Between oil changes I add a quart after around 1,200 miles to not let it run too low. I enjoy your content, keep it up.
Running 10W30 Mobil1 with K&N filter btw.
ArmasADVish I have he 07 man and I'm the exact same way. All the manuals 05-07 are screwed with oil Consumption lol
I hope I don’t have this problem with my 06. It has 135,000 miles on it and I’m getting ready to switch it over to synthetic I just bought the car so should I use a higher mileage synthetic?
one thing that makes these potentially a very risky buy is the oil consumption... Not that savvy buyer wont keep it topped up but rather, that the Previous owner or Owners may have been blissfully unaware and ran the damn thing low and never checked..thus you could be buying a car that spent time running with very low oil levels...not good!
I’m looking at a 2004 it has 130k miles on it. Is it worth buying?
are all these issues common on the newer q50
I had an 03 G35 sedan automatic, I don't know what it is with these g35s, they seem to get horrendous gas mileage.
Dean M ... agreed! Not a car for the "Prius" lovers of this world
got one right now and if something happens i would get another one am i the only one??
Anielo Daniel ... this is my second time lol 😂
I have one for sale it’s in very good condition and all repairs have been done.
I had a 03 Maxima with the same seat issue on the driver side must be a Nissan thing
Hey I just bought a g35 coupe today and I’m getting the p0011 code any help ???
Easy fix just need a new camshaft sensor, bring it to a mechanic so they csn tell u for free which one it is then u replace it yourself, dont worry it is a super common issue with g35
5th barely grinds so i just double clutch every time, if i dont completely take my time putting it into first it kind of jerks then goes in. weird and very annoying
Brien Eltz I feel you man. Same here
