holy smokes I have a 2011 m37sport package.. I think same motor. I need to sell mine before this shit breaks.. I like working on cars.... but damm need to take whole car apart for a freakin pump
I have a question. I'm doing the same JOB on a 2008 G35. I have the left ignition cam on time, but the right cam won't aline into time, just the chain, and it alligns perfect to the seal you pointed to. Now my left ignition cam aligns perfect to the engine DOT with the chain. The right is on the direction you pointed to, but the left in the direction of ALL DATA!. am I still here in time, or do I need to get both in the same direction? Facing the DOT or the Seal? Pls get back to me as this is a very tedious job and patience, I have a lot because I love what I do. I've done a lot of American and European cars, but this baby is giving some issues. Any advice will help. Thank you kindly. - Daniel.
When water pump goes bad it starts leaking by timing cover ( there is a hole for it and leaks from there ) as soon as you put new water pump and new gasket ( new gaskets comes with it ) if you don’t damage it you not gonna have leak anymore till water goes bad again !
Thank you! Yes mine was leaking coolant like crazy from behind the ac compressor. I swapped the water pump yesterday also did gallery gasket, today I’ll be connecting all the coolant stuff since i took my whole front end off, hopefully everything goes smooth 😅
Last week i was laughing at ford ecoboodt v6 in SUVs having a waterpump in the engine block and the catastrophic failures it made.. Now i learn my g37 is made the same.. Better start doing a coolant flush every 5 years boys !!
Honestly companies make things broke easily Doesn’t matter how often you get coolant flush But of course it’s good to have good quality and recommended coolant and flush it …
My mechanic charges me 300$ and the part is 60$ on Amazon , don’t take it to a shop unless you wanna spend a lot of money , take it to someone who knows how to work on vqs and that’s good in general
@@ngldany5161 don’t take me wrong but made in China parts not last long. They cheap yes!! But not same quality with original ! And nooo way 350$ some will do this job !
Change the gallery gaskets while you're in there and get the updated composite metal gaskets and get rid of the Philips screws in favor of hex drives screws that should be torqued to 11 pounds with blue Loctite so they don't back out.
Hmm I just purchased one today dirt cheap with a blown head but it was leaking next to the ac compressor I think they misdiagnosed it but before I change the water pump I'm coming to do a compression test on each cylinder
if you remove the water pump without loosening chain tensioner would it come off timing? one of my techs did this job and i think he just took the pump out without loosening anything and put back a new one. he was under the assumption that if he didn’t move the chain and put it back exactly as it was he wouldn’t have to redo the timing. i’m not a tech. so i can’t confirm
@@1of1.92 it actually didn’t. customer finally brought it in and we found out that the magnet on the right cover for the cam that controlled variable timing on the exhaust side wasn’t working. the physical timing was actually fine. but the pcm couldn’t adjust exhaust timing because of the malfunctioning magnet.
In actuality you don’t need to remove the chain, just move the slack off that side, but since you have it open, assuming you removed the front cover.. replace the water pump replace the oil gally gaskets, replace your guides , and chains if you have high miles
Your timing marks are off!!! See how the E on the exhaust gears are upside down? R & L are upside down on the intake gears? On the exhaust cam gears, the dowels should be pointing up (yours are pointing down). The exhaust gear on the drivers side; orange marks on the chain must line up with the double elongated marks on the gear. The exhaust gear on the passenger side; orange marks on the chain must line up with the double dot marks on the gear. On the main chain, the yellow chain links line up with the dots on the crank and intake gears. Maybe if you take it apart incorrectly, and re-install everything exactly incorrectly, it'll work out. I wouldn't take that chance however.
@@newyorkcity304 I think you got lucky, wouldn't want someone with less luck gambling on their engine. What I wrote comes from Nissan's service manual.
Eric Feli pls man there’s no luck on it if it’s off it’s not gonna start you know it so stop trying to be show off and keep saying stupid things Marks are offf You so luck blah blah Have nice day !

Young Jay dude there’s no way it’s 600 unless you were doing it yourself and I wouldn’t recommend taking a Infiniti G37 anywhere but the dealer. I got some work done at some local shops and they fucked up my car and the cheap aftermarket bullshit parts fail.
My mechanic charging me $350 to replace water pump and do an oil change , I bought all the parts myslef at the infinity dealer costed about $160 total for oil and pump , I have a 2008 g35 . 👌🏻
Just replaced a water pump on a 2011 g37 with an original Nissan part and it running out the weep hole worse than the original, the car has 113,000 miles! Anybody had this failure twice? Followed the video perfectly. I'm thinking the thermostat might be sticking, Though there's no indication of over heating. We have to add coolant mix after nearly every trip to the store.
wow ,holy smokes. you just scared me from buying a used 2010 or 2011 infiniti g37x coupe . makes me want to buy just a new one with warranty. I'm not a mechanic. and I dont got a garage.
Lol don't be scared, just buy one with good service history. If they haven't changed their coolant in 10 years, then high chance the water pump is rotting away. if you think this is bad, you should be worried about the galley gasket. that one is worse labor. happens from prolonged oil changes when the oil gets acidic, and also from full throttle all the time maxing out oil psi throughout entire system good cars tho. I've seen them go 190k miles with zero engine & accessory problems, only radiator replacement.
hostilityy How is that more labor when it’s literally right next to the galley gasket. It’s relatively the same amount of work/time. The timing chains have to be removed and you’d have access to both.
why ? there super fast at stock . plus the design for most cars are shit . every time you got to change something its usually a hard place to get to . nothings easy when dealing with cars. your just lazy . its all good. take it to a shop if your not a hands on person . but the G is better than most

When water pump goes out it leaks from the back like you said at the end of the video, will it leak after swapping pump still or willl it fix the leak
When water pump goes bad it starts leaking by timing cover ( there is a hole for it and leaks from there ) as soon as you put new water pump and new gasket ( new gaskets comes with it ) if you don’t damage it you not gonna have leak anymore till water goes bad again !

How did you remove the water pipe and the coolant filler neck?
Just pull it and wiggle it a little
Just pull on it, it takes a bit of pulling but it pops out
Last week i was laughing at ford ecoboodt v6 in SUVs having a waterpump in the engine block and the catastrophic failures it made..
Now i learn my g37 is made the same..

water pump failure on these is VERY rare
@@LoneWolfSnowplowingreally?
@@sooflex15 yeah I'm referring to the video subject of INFINITI/ Nissan.
I’m currently looking to buy a infinity g37 but it needs water pump replaced, do you recommend? 130k miles he’s asking 4.5
Tell him 3k since the job would be like $1k-1.5k
How much does a fix like this actually cost if you buy the parts yourself ? I drive a 2010 g37x sedan .

Dep. where you go price change
Even from one town to other town dealership not same price
600-to 1000$ dep. on the shop and parts quality
Change the gallery gaskets while you're in there and get the updated composite metal gaskets and get rid of the Philips screws in favor of hex drives screws that should be torqued to 11 pounds with blue Loctite so they don't back out.
@@ngldany5161da fuck nobodies doing this for $300 the correct way lol
Replace those gallery gaskets and untorqed Phillips head screws.
Hmm I just purchased one today dirt cheap with a blown head but it was leaking next to the ac compressor I think they misdiagnosed it but before I change the water pump I'm coming to do a compression test on each cylinder
Was it the pump or was it an actual blown head? Currently going through this dilemma myself
Where are you located?

how much for replace water pump and labor?
A lot, in the thousands buddy
RzVids wth. Nah bro more like 600

Don’t get scare man just buy decent one clean one and use right coolant with it I believe u will be fine

@@RzVids That's why I bring my own parts and watch him do the labor.
Do it works for 2007 Infiniti g35?
SteezyHD1 yes exactly same setup engine w only different between g35 g37 engine size
G35=3.5 engine
G37= 3.7 engine
Euro Mec Tec Euro Mec Tec so the engine is identical as far as every single part that makes it up only difference being the displacement?
Wow that’s really in there…
Gata do too much just to change a water pump on those vq engines its way too technical 🤬🤬🤬
i would never buy this car with this engine.shit design
why ? there super fast at stock . plus the design for most cars are shit . every time you got to change something its usually a hard place to get to . nothings easy when dealing with cars. your just lazy . its all good. take it to a shop if your not a hands on person . but the G is better than most
Almost all cars like that unfortunately car engineers works for to make dealer richer ….
Simon, the VQ engine was on Ward's 10 best engines list nearly every year. Mine is at 223,000 kms and only problem so far. Tiny coolant leak.
