- Hey All, This is my update on my car and how it was to own it for 150k miles. Some info on problems that started happening up to this point and things I love about the car as well. Thanks for Watching!!
this guy sounds like Jimmy from gta 5
TheAraichBoyz holy shit you are right
TheAraichBoyz bahahaahaha omfg
He sounds like Ron and jimmy at the same time
I still have a 2003 Nissan 350Z; even after I bought a Cayman S, I couldn't get myself to sell this car. It's given me Toyota Camry reliability with BMW performance and handling. I don't think i'll ever get rid of this car, I guess we lucked out with the G35/350z, I originally bought this car while I was in the military, simply because of its looks. I still have the infamous 3rd gear grind (I shift slowly as a workaround) and have had the rear bumper re-painted multiple times. I replaced the exhaust due to rusting from Washington winters, and replaced the stock suspension with Bilstein PSS-10s. One of the best ownership experiences I've ever had.
Thanks Jonah Hill!
you dont know how much iv heard that lol
Noel3286 must be a pretty cool “roast”
162k, on my 05 g35 coupe. I am the first owner and the only thing I ever need to change is thermostat, ac compressor and radiator. Absolutely love my g35!!
PLEASE update me!! How many miles? Has it blown?
At least the Infiniti cup holders don't break if you breathe on them wrong like BMW's do. Lol.
KerryInTheNameOf oh my god lmaooo my e60 passenger side holder broke...... looking to an infiniti, tired of paying for euro maintenance parts with my modding money
+Michael Alejandro just be aware that Nissan uses cheap interior and exterior paint. All that painted stuff inside the car if touched enough times will rub off.
Yeah my mom,brother,sister, even grandma all have different nissans so ive seen the wear and tear done on these bad boys. I'm getting most of mine custom carbon wrapped inside and maybe vinyl outside and I'll be careful with it. Thanks bro I appreciate it
German Engineering!!!! It's only the best thing out there LMFAO!!!!!!!
Great video man! I have my 2003 g35 since 05 and still in love with it! With only 97,000 miles currently on still going strong. Same problems with the door actuator. Still enjoying to drive.
That was a dope video bro, you couldn't had been more accurate with everything you mention in this video and coming from a G owner going on to 6 years with the car it has been really reliable and I dnt regret anything about the G and good luck with your new car bro!
Thanks man!...im all about keeping it real. I got nothing to hide and not make the car out to look like something its not. It was a sick car. I hear them coming down the road still to this day and im like DAMN that VQ sounds sick haha...makes me miss it. Definitely one of the best sounding V6's of the lot. Thanks for watching man!
Great video Noel, appreciate the love you have for the G! Got 138K on my '05 G35 6MT and still loving it, despite similar issues you experienced. Original owner. Here's some of the issues i share with ya: My entire black paint peeled like it was sunburn (no garage). Window issue fell randomly too, its NOT the motor. You need to REPROGRAM the window by opening up the door panel and pushing a black button. My door locks failed occasionally (only during hot weather which is opposite of you). My clutch pedal sticks occasionally when its Hot outside. Kept having to reposition the clutch with my foot. replaced my clutch and clutch master, but didnt solve the issue. My Leather has torn gashes on Both seats. Rattle noises everywhere, especially my window at high speeds. My beautiful quartz clock failed and cant get it to operate despite replacing fuse and checking wire harness. I also cant get the navigational electronic compass guidance direction to work either. My driver side door cant stay open and always closes on its own, occasionally shutting itself on my leg. Some of the glue is getting undone in various areas, and my headlights cant get restored back to clear no matter how hard i try. All in all, despite all these issues, LOVE THE CAR and will never sell this baby! Sure this list seems long, but the reasons why I love the care is even longer!! All cars will eventually breakdown and have issues here and there, but like any first love, you learn to live with its flaws because overall this Baby has grown a sentimental place in your heart that you won't want to live without. I've driven in the snow, taken to the track many times, and have typical mods, and am always looking to do more to maintain this beauty. G Luck with your WRX, thats an awesome vehicle too!
+Kelvin Chang Dude thanks for watching. You understand where I have been with this car. If I had a garage and was not living in apartments i would have kept this thing right inside there. It was an amazing vehicle and a great experience. Never once broke down on me. TONS of annoyances but that comes with a car that is over 10+ years old. These videos will keep it alive in memory. Im sure the guy I sold it to will easily get it up to 250k miles
150K should be easy for a g35. people go crazy over miles. a well maintained car should make 250K at least.
Facts.
+Keep It G my G35x has 230 on it and still going strong.
+Eugene Abreut For Japanese cars you're right but as much as I love the German cars they could probably do the same but it'd cost you some serious money in maintenance.
+Eugene Abreut My 05 G35x has 214,xxx and still pulling hard. Outside of a couple calipers sticking and a plenum spacer gasket leak that I had to fix, it's been great to me.
what kinda symptoms did you G make with the plenum spacer leak give you? i have a G too with a plenum spacer. just curious! thanks man.
I carried over 700lbs of household goods from Vegas to 'xx' Texas and I managed to completely pack the trunk in a way that was totally usable. Master Tetris, and you'll master the trunk. ;)
+RetroMMA so true lol
I love how those tennis balls are still sitting there after 3 years ^.^
Frankie Xenon haha not the same ones of course...the sun fried the other ones and turned them to stone..had to switch them out like once a year...but damn they get the job done : )
+noel3286 why do you have them on there ?
+Its Wolffy I play tennis so I had some extra tennis balls. They were older ones and I like to blast some bass with music so to tone the any panel shaking I just put them in the corners of my car in certain areas. AND GOOD BY BASS RATTLE...inexpesive and simple fix
+noel3286 I was just thinking wow the tennis balls are still there. I though you placed them there due to the window issue in infiti- you know either in passenger or driver sit, the window doesn't go straight up and suddenly drops ?!
I have 215,000 miles on my 2004 G35 Coupe
+Jose Meza that is awesome man. keep it up!
+noel3286 2004 is a good year ill only own Nissans from now on
+Jose Meza will you do a review?
Is it a auto? Any problems
+bigduke346 yes it's an automatic the only major issue I had was at 186K the radiator started leaking but that was a cheap $300 fix, I have driven this car to many places the most epic was a round trip from California to Alaska. I always use 91 octane gas.
Very informative man. My G has 145k so keeping an eye out on things and definitely appreciate the tip on the leather seats and that patch. Brilliant
RufioChris no problem man...thanks for watching. That patch definitely saved my seat from it's ripping death. It will protect if for years to come now.
right on........ I've got a 2004 with 47k on it. Original owner. Getting around to changing out the 2 belts and hoses. Only problems have been a Bose speaker and the CD player locking up. now I have to tear it out and send out for repair. I'm repainting the rear spoiler.. I've done 143mph in it and it was very stable....I think I'll hang onto it. Thanks for your video!
+Kenny A No problem man thanks for watching
Great video Noel! Gluck with your bimmer purchase, make sure you make some videos similar about that car! I'm curious about maintenance and reliability other than the usual cliche! Take care
I owned a 2005 G35x, and I drove it for 130k, with no problem. I ruff ride the car, and it still perform well up to today. The Power and the responsiveness of the car is incomparable to any other cars or new G series. I had a few friends bought the newest one, but the power and pull are not the same. I love these series. the car is reliable and very very low maintenance.
162k in my 05 coupe. Daily driven and sometimes driven hard. The radiator did just crapped out recently, but not a hard job to replace radiator. All is good now.
I'm planning on buying a 2007 g35 coupe and I think this video did it for me, love the way these cars look, thank you :)
+Luis Lopez No problem man. They are great cars with a timeless design. Thanks for watching!
Great review... The section about the window motors put me into stitches! LOL! 👍🏽
I had a G35- I loved it too. I had the 4 door sedan. Unfortunately the new models aren't as good. Many have CVT and they just cheapened everything. There were rumors that Nissan will kill the brand.. I gave it to my son and he eventually sold it but I loved it. Wish I could buy another. Now I drive a Mercedes 2012 C350 Coupe- one of the best cars Mercedes ever made.
nice video man!! i watched the whole thing
Thinking about a G35 this is quite helpful to see some things I would have to deal with. Thanks man
No problem man. I make these videos so people know the real truth. Thanks for watching!
Mine has been great. I've had it for a year. I live In Denver so you have to get the salt off IMMEDIATELY! Last May, my radiator went out and the paint needs some care but so far, thats it!
GREAT CAR! I get at least 1 good complement a week since I've had it.
I had the same door lock issues you had. I replaced my door lock actuators with $5 replacements and they work great. I also had a window issue - replaced the motor, calibrated it, and I've had no issues since. My stereo's got some issues. I believe it's the BOSE amp. The problem seems less frequent when I make an effort to turn off all systems before shutting down the car. My spoiler's clear coat is just peeling away. Pretty annoying. Good detailed video!
+ShootME552 yea the electronics slowly start to fail in these G's. I think a majority of people go through these problems eventually. Thanks for watching man!
What a great Load of info brother! Ive always loved these cars, came close to buying the year model you have.. alittle worried abt reliability issues such as oil consumption... i have a very old ford probe gt 1994.. bought it new in 94 and have 185,000 on it..My motor actually sounds just like ur g35.!.. im tired of my manual and would love a g35 with auto..love the fact that it has timing chain, ive gotta deal with my timing belt soon and not keen on having to do the job myself..Anyway, awesome review and great help to prospective buyers..thanks!
No problem man! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing the video bro. Love your G35. For the window issue, if you have both windows down, close the driver side window all the way up first and then close the passenger that should prevented from opening itself.
Good vid !!! I also have a 04 G35 coupe 6mt got it with 80k now has 125k no signs of stopping and i love that car got it all the way up to 157mph over all a good car never no major issues
Thank you so much for persuading me to finally buy a g35 😂❤
No problem, they are a beautiful car. Still one of the best designs on the road. Good Luck and enjoy
I had G35X sedan (2006) and it's been the best car i've had. Ever. I had it for 4 years, got 100k miles (150k+ km). Really good cars.
+Kyle If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? Thinking about getting a G35X myself
+Kyle Thanks man, appreciate it!
Had same problem with my doorlocks about 5 years ago. Took it dealer, they told me that when the car is in the sun for a long time they tend to wear and eventually break. Dealer did change it for me after warranty was expired :)) very nice of them. had same 04 ...
Denis Ilyayev O man dude you are so lucky. I doubt any dealer would do that for me. I have had no luck with them to the point where i just have to find the time to do it myself eventually
noel3286 Yeah I didn't expect them to do it. They said it was very common problem, especially in climates with a lot of sunshine ( I'm in LA). Something about the electric mechanism that moves the lock, nothing to do with the lock itself. I forgot the details, it was long ago. But the service GM at the dealership hooked me up like crazy by doing it free. Don't have the G anymore though (( Do miss it
lol, found myself nodding at just about all of this haha. front bumper, rust, gas gauge, shift knob tearing, the good ol seat tears. my driver side door won't lock or unlock with the fab or door button, my passenger does it on and off. my windows are like yours, cept my windows stay up with auto, but i do have to hold the driver side window up for a bit longer than the passenger to get them both up. after watching your original vid about the G, I picked one up. Not let down at all, though those electronics are a pain haha.
Hey Man, Thanks for this review.. you did a great job on this follow up.. Cheers... Did you ever get that M3?
Nahh man the e92 M3 was still a bit out of my price range. I could have gotten an E46 but man..buying a 10 year old BMW is some scary shit lol. So I decided to wait it out a bit and get it in a few years. Probably pick up a 2013 M3. Right now I am driving a 2012 Subaru WRX and loving it. Not at the luxury level of the Infiniti but such a great performance car. Thanks for watching man!
Enjoyed the review. I have an 05 rev-up with the sports package. Right now I have under 69k miles on it. Fortunately/Unfortunately I had the oil consumption problem and had the engine replaced at about 44K under warranty. I haven't had any of the electrical issues you've talked about. The beige interior has been the worst, and I have a rust spot on the roof. Over all I would say my biggest issue has been this white pearl paint. I bought this car used in '06 with under 10k miles on it. For me to hit 150k miles I would have to keep this car another 10 years so maybe a Vaydor kit and a couple of snails under the hood will fix my paint and interior issues??? LOL It's been a good car.
+Niytmagex3 The clear coat was the first thing to go for me. I was blown away too. I took so much care, washing waxing, and cleaning and it just could not hold up. Once it started going it just spread too. There was no stopping it. Such a great car to be spoiled with bad paint. Killed me. I sold it now. Me and my friends ended up doing a black wrap on the roof to cover the paint problems. It just got to excessive. The wrap looked really good though. I experimented with a few things. Plasti dipped the roof too and that did not look bad at all as well. If you do a plasti dip black roof on your pearl white that would look awesome. Plasti dip is extremely inexpensive also. Good luck man and it will easily hit that 150k if you want it to. 10 years is a long time lol. Thanks for watching!
Cool vid... Just bought a G35 for 9k with. 68k miles & luving it.
Where 😔. I can't even find one with under 100k miles
+Chico Carcass Dude awesome find and congrats! They are really tough to find low mileage now. And you got a good price on it
+infrit123. Just buy mine 100k drives great
+Chico Carcass sounds like a good deal! I bought my 2003 6mt 8 months ago for $11,000 with 29k miles :) Gonna drive this car for a long time
That sounds about right! Thanks Noel..
He's absolutely right about the slave or master cylinder going out with the clutch pedal going to the floor and losing fluid. Not a terribly expensive fix.
Yup not that expensive at all. Just really got annoying during extreme temperature conditions whether it be cold or hot. Thanks for watching!
Ya I can imagine. I have a Miata with a 6 speed and they can eat a slave cylinder every now and again as well.
Its kinda weird with your clutch pedal issue, mine is backwards. In winter its nice and responsive, in summer heat it get sloshy. Good to see you made it to 150k. How much did you spend on maintenance (engine, trans, etc?) I'm at 122k on my 05 and hope to hit 150k in a few years. Thanks for the video.
+eiji81 I barely spent anything on the maintenance of this car. Brakes, rotors, and oil were the only things I purchased consistently in the 5 years I owned it. The usual wear and tear items. I never needed a clutch. Felt fine, no slippage till the day I sold it. I also didnt beat on it hard. My commute is mostly highway miles (so cruise control 6th gear mostly). That clutch pedal issue was mind boggling though. I have read around and your summer heat clutch pedal issue is way more common then mine. I could never figure it out. Im pretty sure I needed to replace the clutch master/slave cylinder. Their was no clutch fluid leaking which I was expecting..so odd. It would be amazing in the fall summer spring season. Winter was terrible. Car is so temperamental and that is literal (temperature mental, window motors, door locks everything would act up in different seasons) I think overall though I spent more money on the cosmetic stuff trying to keep it clean since i didnt have it garage kept. I sold it at 157k and it literally had another 80k in that engine as long as the new owner maintains it. Very reliable to my standards. I could work on it myself and it never once broke down on me. I got 5k for it so it was a nice down payment for my Subaru WRX. Thanks for watching!
Great video buddy, u helped me alot im looking to buy a 03 g35 soon, ill definately be looking out for those issues 👍🏼
I am at 110,xxxmi and I have had hella issues with oil burning.. I am hoping that when I get some extra cash and finally have the money to rebuild the motor and get new drivetrain parts that all is well.. surprisingly very reliable for me.
the leather seats do crack and rip over time. I put some real good sheepskin covers on mine and it's not a problem now. They duct taped the rips before installing them. they were 300.00 for the pair. Worth every penny. The main thing is the stereo. I put a Clarion in with a USB connection. It's always a jam session when I get in my car. a 97 I30.
I've got the same year and color except it's a sedan. Black interior and maintain it with leather conditioner every 1-2 weeks. Leather is still supple with no wear. Take the time to condition your leather! Engine runs like gangbusters, but I did just have to replace the steering rack. Only have 55K miles on it. Can't wait to get it to 100K. Absolutely love driving it.
+BrikDivit Awesome man. Yea I put a lot of miles on this beauty and rocks hitting the paint and sun beating down on the body were inevitable. I have no garage and 32 mile commute so the weather was slowly eating away at the leather and body every day for 5 years. I really took care of her as best as I could and the leather still started cracking and body rusting at around 110k. Car was amazing to own. Timeless design and AMAZING sound. Thanks for watching man!
We just bought a 2006 G35 coupe with automatic transmission for our son, the car has 183,000 miles but runs good is a one owner no accidents it has one dent on the driver's front fender will see how things go we pay $3,500 we are in California so is a very clean car no rust on it
Am getting a 07 g35x this thanks you guys convinced me I was thinking bout a bmw but I think I’ll go with the infinity
cant wait to get my own G35 next year. Wanted one for 10 years finally able & have reason to get myself a car, woot! :D
+MatthiasAI good luck!!...they are super affordable now
+MatthiasAI Have you considered a g37?
I hear you're supposed to avoid the 2003-2004 G35s.
+Chris Foster why are the '03-'04 g35's bad? I've been looking at an '04 g35. So, should I be looking at an '06 instead?
+Keizor Soze nahhh mine is an 04 and i am at 157k miles...no more issues other then what is said in this video...i couldnt be any happier
+noel3286 Ok. Thanks!
My G35 Sedan just hit 125,000 miles! Love the G35's.
Nj yeaaaaa. Nice color combo! Good luck with newer bmw reliability.
Thanks man!
lol that's gr8 man :) they are pretty reliable!(for a luxury car) my gf's infiniti is nearing 180k miles and its still pulling thru lol! once it hits 250k, I think im gonna drop in an rb26 lmao
Jordan Park haha nice man....if possible that would be one hell of a swap!
noel3286 Tnx! And yeah, I mean these are 350 skylines in japan, but imo skylines should stick to inline 6's, so yeah :D
Gorgeous G. Love it when it first came out.
yea man they looked so ahead of the time when they were released. So ahead that to this day they still look good!
This car does not need a sound system. The beautiful exhaust note is the music you need.
+bigflytrap i completely agree!
Definitely will use that tennis ball idea
I have the issue with the gas gauge. Mechanic told me I needed to replace the sensors in the tank. Should cost around $350.
Peter Tomaro same here and got me a p0462 code. I cleaned the sensors by taking the backseat out it was a pain and still didn't fix the issue lol. They stealership wanted the same amount
I had the same issue. i tried the sensors, it wasn’t the sensors. I tried to change the whole fuel pump and fuel sensor, didn’t work. It ended up being the cluster gauge itself, it becomes faulty over time.
Worst color combination blue exterior and ran interior lol. Great videos though bro. Good looking out. Nice job👍🏼
Haha yea man. You will never see me in a tan interior car again in my life. Black leather all the way. Too much maintenance needed. Thanks for watching man!
shit homie.i got a 98 gs400 with 376,000 miles and runnin . im gonna run it till the wheels fall off.
Dude that is the right mentality to have...I just get bored to quick...i think of it as a problem...saving money and keeping your car till it dies is the right way to live. By the way the GS400 is a beast..nice ride!!
Fuel sensor is an issue in G35 sedans, too. TPMS also an issue I have had to deal with.
J.R. Janicek what was your car doing??
HI :)
the e92 m3 is a really good choice, but if you can't afford the e92 m3 i would suggest the e92 335i or the 335is over the e46 m3, it got twin turbos and with simple and cheap jb4 mod you can reach pretty good numbers competing even with the new m4 and you'll get a plenty of low end torque which doesn't require revving it so much to get all the torque
LOUI J i have been keeping an eye out for a good 335is or a e92 m3. the e92 v8 might be a bit to gas hungry for my 30 mile commute to and from work, but I love the way they look. The 335i i have heard is a great platform but they have some reliability issues with fuel pumps and stuff as well. I was thinking of just sticking with the m's with the naturally aspirated engine and since the e46 is in my price range i was going to go that route. But if I could get a e92 at this time O TRUST ME lol it would be in my garage over the e46. I know i got to keep a look out for the subframe problems on the e46 and some vanos stuff
Good vid. Buying an 04' sedan this week with 66k one owner miles.
Love the headlights how you do that
Nissan did put a cup holder where you mentioned in their 350z. I had a 2004 but am looking at the g35 now because of having back seats. Good video thanks for the detailed info.
05 G35 sedan 6 speed here, having issues currently but I can tell it's a great car, previous owner was crappy. 110K still love her.
I have 155 k miles on my Altima, leaky struts that is all. Electronic no issues.
I want a used G35 because of the engine sound. Ofc it is based off a 350Z, lower profile (cops)
At the end of the day, sound from drivers cabin sounded like a L28 from 280Z. It's still a Z.
+Alternative DatSun definitely one of the best stock exhaust notes i have ever heard on the road
NICE! Im actually gonna buy me a g35, and i have a note 4! MINT ;) Thanks for the review man.
No problem man. Thanks for watching!
I'm never selling mines.
I'm with you in that one, I'm never selling my G
*****
Never selling mine 2006 G35 coupe 150,000 miles and still pulling!
Unique Image Dj Service mine just turned over 100K and I'm starting to hear a grinding noise immediately after startup. It sounds like the timing chain hitting the guides.. did you guys ever have to have them replaced?
+Tyler Nelson mine does the same thing i was told it was just clutch chatter at startup, nothing major
+HEIRON33 good man, being an Arms dealer is pretty risky
I've had my g35x sedan 06 and I've never had an issue with it I had it for 7yrs I got 95k miles on it and I'll ride it till the wheels fall off
Keep it alive and moving. I could have kept my G but I got car crazy and wanted something new. If i had a garage i would have kept her.
I love this color and car. Call me crazy but i own g37 coupe and starting to regret not getting the g35 coupe
Dude I really like the G37 and I could have got one after I sold my G35 but I felt like I was going backwards slightly. Like Infiniti changed the whole dynamic of the car to more refined and luxurious/curvy. Still appreciate the VQ37 motor though. That engine has got to feel good in the 37. The color of this car (twilight blue) I barely saw anywhere so I had to get it. I really miss it but it treated me well for the 5 years I had it. Hardest part is they are sooooo cheap now I could probably pick one up again lol..Tempting!!. Thanks for watching man
I went through 5 power window motors before 50k on my 04 coupe . Also the rear axles had a clicking noise when accelerating and my seat ripped in the same spot . The last annoying thing was it sounded like the cat/converter was loose and rattling while idling.
+Tjm37 Yup they definitely dont hesitate on falling apart lol. Electronics especially. You beat me on the window motors. I replaced 4
I love this car 😣😢😢
Still beautiful to this day! Timeless design
I really appreciated this video
No problem man. Thanks for watching!
I have the white g35 with black interior. And honestly every thing about the cars. Is pretty clean I take care of it. She is my babe and bought it for 12 k with 55 ,k miles. And runs like a champ now I'm at 75k and is my daily as well had her for 2 years there's small rust on my left side quater panel but can't really notice it only thing I don't have is the brembos but if u sell the car. Would u be willing to trade calipers ♡♡♡♡
Aright seriously with the tennis balls
ur lucky man ive put so much money in my g its insane. new clutch,flywheel,radiator,thermostat,crankshaft sensor etc. i think my g is beautiful but lucked out on a reliable one.
deftones26 deftones26 Atleast you could find your problem! Mine likes to randomly die on the road. Complete random and only happens once every few weeks, I let it sit for 20 minutes and it will fire up again and drive the rest of the day without issue. Not one person or shop has found the issue. That said I wish I had some of the simple issues like with the door locks and windows (mine have been perfect knock on wood) Already had to put a trans in it (bought it at an auction with a blown trans, didnt find out it was blown till I drove it home and had no 5th and a half ass manual mode that worked sometimes) paid its an 05 Sedan with an auto (base model with no bose system, spoiler or awd) Id say I sorta lucked out on the price though, only paid $3,000 for mine, put another k down for used trans and install. The used trans is being extremely sluggish shifting slower than my old trans with blown out 5th(new S matic fluid and filter). My main complaint about the car is the random shutdowns it goes into. If it wasnt for that id be putting all sorts of goodies on and in it. But im tipsy on selling it because of the random shut offs... Mainly scared it might be wiring harness related.
Dillon Turner mine did that do it would die all triped out but it was the maf sensor "mass air flow" and it dont do it no more
+Dillon Turner my car used to die jus like that, all the lights would come on and it would jus die out. In my case it was the crankshaft sensor. u should def look into that
mine is the maf aswell but for a diff reason, my maf overheats cause its placement above the exhaust manifold due to the custom intake that was on the car before I got it. I can rotate the maf housing around but I have to fix its harness first (those wires are hanging by threads)
+Dillon Turner oh ok well thats good u found the problem. jus know if all ur lights turn on and the car dies, its ur crankshaft sensor, jus for future reference
my 06 g35x has 220k miles on it, and still runs & drives very good. the only issue I have is the controls on the steering wheel have stopped working (a cable behind the airbag has to changed),
Awesome. I like hearing how long these can last for. I sold mine and im sure it is still running today. Thanks for watching man!
love your love for cars
Thanks man. I wish I had more money to drive them all. And a bigger garage lol
i just found one with 50k, garaged! my new baby, i love it
Dude that is awesome. Way low miles! Congrats and enjoy it man. Thanks for watching!
Have an 04 G35 coupe with 109k miles. Still runs great and purrs like a kitten! Has the burning oil issue and my mpg isn't all too great, but still runs good. I gotta try high mileage synthetic next time around.
Definitely man. I switched to higher mileage oil after 120k. The thicker oil can definitely help resolve it from getting into area's it should not be which would cause it to burn. Give it a shot and see if it helps at all. Wouldnt hurt.
For the most part, I love my G35 (I came from a e46). I've had mines for 2 years. I get a lot of compliments, my interior is black and yeah, I had the driver seat professionally reupholstered in that section with a flawless correction. The stock exhaust sound really turns heads. I'm approaching 145k miles and the cars is starting to give me problems. All the Cam/crank sensors gave out, theirs a squeaking sound while driving (it drives me cashews), one of the D2R headlight bulbs wont stay in the socket, the famous seat belt issue is a nightmare and the trunk doesn't open electronically anymore but after that, the engine has been pretty solid.
The best thing about this car is the exterior body shape, stock exhaust notes, and durable engine. The worst thing in my opinion is the constant visits to the gas station....16mpg.
Cam is common issue can't escape it that's why I changed mine out within month of buying my car other than that shouldn't give off any issues...valve covers cam sensors n crank then your good to go
121000 2005 g35 stilll looks good for a 05 all the inside still good paint still ok just bc i drive it everyday ppl scratches or rocks hit it when I'm on the road
sweet! I'm at 129k so far and doing great! got a hiccup here and there, but nothing major.
How much it cost to do maintenance???
nice video, how long did your clutch last?
It was starting to give a little, but still drive-able, at right around 130k. I never changed it because it was still handling the power and never slipping. Just felt different. I knew that the clutch was definitely battling old age. I sold it at 156k with the stock clutch still. Person who test drove it said it felt perfectly fine. So i did not complain.
What is that you mention about the bumper, how to cover it?
Are you connecting your mp3 to the central sound system of the G35 in your car? if so, how?
The gas gadget usually is not accurate but it really depends on the weather, if its colder, you need to drive it for a mile then it would go back up.
The shift still looks same in mine, it is automatic & using the cup holder too :))
+lili M you can get a bumper cover. Its called a clear bra. Better to get it professionally done. They really help with protecting your paint from rock chips and debris. I would just do the front bumper though because they tend to sometimes cause some paint damage on metal since the heat is baking it.
I connect my mp3 player through the tape deck. They have tape adapters that have aux cables coming out of them. The g35 only had a tape player up to 04 i think. Saved me money for sure instead of having to buy a full head unit to get that Aux support
I got an 05 g35 sedan with 76k miles, these cars are so reliable
yea they are really good cars. And you have one with really low mileage too. Got plenty of years left. Thanks for watching!
hahahaha. I'm having 80% of the issues your having with your g35. i'm just laughing throughout the video.
Amazing that you didn't have to replace any suspension parts and wheel bearings.
psdude23 I know man...besides lowering it, i never touched the shocks or the wheel bearings. With the Eibach Springs the car is still running on the stock shocks. Ride would probably have been a bit better if i had though...at least if i invested in some coilovers.
my g35 has 235,000 miles... has minor issues all things considered. great cars with proper maintenance
Hayden Marano how's the ac
I agree the maintenance is key on these. My engine was running still like butter with no oil consumption either. Some electronic issues and rust but the car never let me down getting me from point A to B
the ac works pretty damn good actually. as long as you don't put it higher than the thirds bar lol.
love it, thinking about getting me a 2008 g37
Do it you won't regret it, make sure its an S though.
what is the difference? besides rim and suspension ?
Front bumper, spoiler, BBK, auto dimming mirror, you know the little things lol
hmm just wondering honestly, thinking of getting a g37 as well, didnt really know the differnce besides rims and suspension lol thanks though !
+Geo L also 330 hp vs 303
Still driving this? I see you're in NJ, what's it like in the snow?
I sold the car in 2015 but it was not an issue in the snow. Only got stuck once in the 5 years I owned it. Also winters have been getting tamer and tamer here. Make sure you have good tires whether they be all season or snow tires and PATIENCE is key. Just be safe and you will be fine. Its not great in deep snow but a well plowed road with some snowfall it can get through. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
All I see something good about 03-04 G35 is that it come with sport brake packages and thats about it compare to latest years models
+DaVinn Em Yea the sport Brembo brake package was exclusive to the 03-04. The 03-04 also didnt have the rev-up motor which was known for some excessive oil burning in 05-06. I choose my 04 because it wasnt the first year it came out and i didnt want to deal wit any oil issues. Car was really reliable for me. They probably all have much higher mileage in my year now so i would definitely go 07 if you are considering it.
True man. I got 05 Coupe been dealing with excessive oil burn but now just installed some oil consumption modification n hope it will help tho,will see.
Once you said windows and door locks i cracked up. Im goin through the same thing
Yea man...truly the biggest issue I had with the G. Everything else solid. Them DAMN electronics lol. Thanks for watching!
That window is a safety thing.
If it's anything like Mercedes, you just roll it all the way up and then hold it for about 15 seconds and it should be fine.
i just bought an 04 with 79k miles for pretty cheap. really clean
Awesome man congrats!!
Thanks
I've had my share of issues with my 02 Altima but I must say my interior has held up very well, granted the car has been treated really well in all that time and is only at about 80 thousand miles.
Could just be the color of the interior showing its wear a lot quicker though.
+BigHeadClan yea the color of my interior sucked so much. Never getting tan again. Just to much to maintain.
THe manual sais there is a safety feuture to protect peoples heads and whatnot from getting trapped between the window. I think that safety feuture is glitching .
how many miles does it have now and is it still running good ? i’m looking to buy a 04 g35 coupe with 177,000 for 4,500, what do you think ?
Sold the car at 155k for $4500. Not sure how it is doing but i hope she is purring away at full speed. A bit overpriced id say for 177k miles but the G is holding its value depending on how much care the owner put in. I wouldnt go higher then 3 for that amount of miles. As long as it looks decent exterior wise and drives well might be worth it at the most $3500. You can easily get 250k miles out of these cars with good maintenance. Engine is rock solid. Mine was pulling great at 155k still. Good luck man!
I just bought a 2005 350GT Skyline [Infiniti G35] from Carmax... it only has 15,000 miles on it !!!!! This car is like brand new and must have been sitting in the original owners garage
+THOMAS TANNER Dude what a find!! Lucky you.
G35x 2005 with 250k, I love it, been always a fan of Nissan and their vq35. And I think it got more that 279hp
I never loved snow till I got the G, I drift the f out of it. I don't use 93 just regular gas, I gotta change the cavaliers cover gasket and and some suspension parts, I never had any work done to the engine rather than changing the plugs. I just love it. 250K
Biko Bikawi arent you supposed to use premium?
Hey, Im looking into getting a used car and my options are between a 2004 Infiniti G35x AWD with 117k Miles and a 2009 Mazda 6 with 81k Miles, V6 Engine. Now I like the Infinity because.. it speaks for itself, plus I like the "classic feel since it is 2016. I was wondering if there are any expensive fixes I have to worry about for Infinity and/or if I should just go with the Mazda ? Also how is the speed/acceleration ?
Hey Christian, as you said the infiniti is going to be more luxurious then the mazda. Its a more comfortable car with clean simple styling and its AWD to get you through some tough conditions if need be. The infiniti since it has over 100k miles are known to have electrical issues. These things can be expensive depending on where you take it to get fixed because it is considered luxury but there is SOOOO much information on the internet with people owning this car that you should have know problem fixing it yourself if your willing to put in the work. Plus there is more aftermarket community now since its been out so long. So when you go look at it make sure to check all automatic locks, windows, seat adjusters/heated seats, headlights/taillights, head unit, AC/heat. Really dig in there. The mazda on the other hand is a more simple car interior wise, less electronics, with a more modern styling. Things are going to be cheaper for it for sure. Both cars are about the same 0-60 of about 6 seconds so they will feel very similar in terms of speed. Hope this helps and good luck!. Thanks for watching!
my 06 coupe has 112,000 and since it reached 100k, everytime when I change oil , it is synthetic. no major problems yet and the leather seats seems to be torn up slowly.
Nice man...like to hear a G surviving up over the 100k mark. They are great cars. Interior is a bit cheap but the engine will run till the end of time. Keep giving it that good synthetic blood. Thanks for watching!
Going to try and find one of these this spring/summer. It's going to be my toy/2nd car so I'll probably get a higher mileage one and fix it up over a couple years. I've had mustangs, monte carlos and want to try something new and different.
You are going to love it man. Real nice class with great styling. Good luck with the search. You will not regret it. Thanks for watching!
shopping now, 6 speeds damn near make the asking price 50% higher. I could probably just get one now if I go auto, some good deals out here in the Atlanta area on those. Must wait til may when I move in my larger house though.
Getting a clear bra is a big mistake. My 3M clear bra ended up cracking and then started pulling off all my paint on my 2004 g35. I ended up buying a new bumper just because it looked so bad.
Ventural Support damnnn thanks for the advice man...i would have though that it would have protected the paint...a friend of mine had one on his bmw and it just seemed like such a simple method for paint protection. How long did yours last for?
noel3286 It lasted about three years before it started peeling off. I tried for months to get 3M and the installer (autosupershield.com) to fix it before warranty expired, but they never returned any of my phone calls or emails. I ended up peeling off the clear bra from the fenders and hood, but some of the paint came off the car in the process. The bumper was completely replaced.
Ventural Support crazy man..ill definitely keep that in mind for the future...thanks for watching
noel3286 Found an old picture of the clear bra when it was starting to crack - imgur.com/q1sfbwz
Does the manual exhaust sounds better than the automatic
Nope its the same exhaust. They all sound amazing with that perfect tone
Do you have a link to that little patch
I searched Amazon and i remember the company was called masta plasta. Maybe they have improved their product since this was years ago when i bought it. I also would not have used the whole patch like i did years ago. I probably could have gotten away with cutting it down and making it cleaner. Here is the link to the beige one www.amazon.com/MastaPlasta-Self-Adhesive-Patch-Leather-Repair/dp/B01H64JMAQ/ref=psdc_12897141_t3_B01H64JKDK
