Remember, you can never check your oil level enough. Every 500 or 1,000 miles you should be checking. Especially, if you drive the G hard.
Okay, so like i totally understand what you mean that g owner should be checking their oil all the time since its known to have a high oil consumption, I was lucky enough to put oil in before it goes out last week cause i haven't checked it in a while, but like when i go start my car, when i have my keys in the on position i can see a engine oil icon, but it never lights up when im low on engine oil, is it something infiniti make?
I remember I put Lucas lube in my oil. My check engine light came on and car started acting crazy. I use to use Hyperlube and never had a problem. But cool thing is my mechanic is Thatdudeinblue mechanic and hes the best out there.
Completely debatable as once I drop my 10W30 in my VQ, I am good until it's time to change it.But then again, my DE isn't a Rev-Up although I'm making 463 to the crank. And yes, I drive "the builded VQ" pretty hard from time to time (i.e., Autocross, Drift Nirvana, etc).
Black G35 The G35 service manual specifically tells you NOT to use any additives in the VQ35. Great job.
+CocainaBlaze - Don't even bother chiming in with other fellow Tuner-Ricers as it's like Vin Diesel said in Fast and the Furious...."you never had your car." In other words, they never had their car. #justsaying #letsbereal
"It wasn't bad, but I was tired of waiting for it to go bad."
Now that's someone who loves their car.
.. and has a bit of cash to burn, lol
Lmao true
That is a nice G35.
The MAF sensor costs like $20 lol
@@stezenast5878 you know nothing about gs lol try 350 for an oem Hitachi
I am so jealous of that record book.
This car is still one of the prettiest cars on the road. I prefer the G coupes over the Q coupes
It goes Zs, Gs, then Qs for me. But this guy's G is so clean.
The m class is on different level especially the m45s
Had to be one of the best documented g35's on the planet. Just hit 189k in my black 06 6mt coupe.
WVg35 correction...best documented car on the planet lol
Wow, this was such well documented! Going to be valuable when you eventually go to sell it.
AnonymousYT ......Trust me, I will never sell the G.
My 07' 350Z has 152K. Haven't replaced a thing besides tires and brakes. It's an automatic. Dealer gives me free oil changes every 6mo. Feeling blessed I got a REALLY good car. Good for you. She's beautiful. The interior is def a little bit nicer than the 350z. Subbed! Damn that Motordyne exhaust
Car's worth less than eight grand by now.
@@drphillive6366 in time it will be a nice classic.
@@drphillive6366 all the more reason to hold onto it. You're not gonna get what it's worth, so keep squeezing that mileage out of it.
One of the best looking g35s
Other than the G35 and G37, i really don't care for anything else Infiniti makes now days. I bought my G35 7 years ago and so far put about 36k miles on it. About 7k miles were boosted miles. Long Live the Gs.
QuickScopes2009, Long live the Gs. I couldn't agree more.
Mikey B i Stan this. Even the 3.7 HR is amazing in them, and especially the new 3.0T
I’m Right There Wit Ya Till I Discovered Their Q Series. I’d Say The 2014 Q60 Favors G35 Nicely But I’d Still Prefer The Style Of The Older Car
The q60
he whipped out the big book 😭 talk about love for something sheesh
Nice. I keep a little notebook in my accords glovebox with all my maintenance items..today’s entry was new spark plugs at 109,000 miles😉
Yup long live the G's. I have a 2007 with 218,888 miles. She's still blazing through.
Any major issues? Was yours a manual?
@@DJWoopneck no mine was automatic. No major issues until mechanic don’t think he knew what he was doing putting in the converters after that I had problems. Now was not an infinite dealership mechanic... wish I had.
Anytime i need inspiration for my G35 i watch your channel
Big Facts
these things has one of the best sounding v6s in my opinion
@motordyne35 Bro, your videos are phenomenal. I've learned so much from what you've posted. Thank you! I bought a 2008 G35X at 70,000 miles and now it has 116,000. I've only done engine oil changes, brakes, trans oil, tires, and cabin and engine air filters. Drove it across the country from WI to L.A.. It's the best car I've owned. Please keep the great work! I log everything in because of you.
Great video and so amazing you’ve kept a detailed log of the owners experience. Mad respect on the work you’ve done and the look of the car after all those years. Keep it up!
I just bout a g35 with 170,000 miles and mine has similar maintenance records. Good to know that my car is in good shape
Kyle - is it still running
Hey. What's up bro, bought my G35 about 3 months ago, looking to do some engine mods, what would you recommend for the first modifications? Thanks bro.
ALEXANDER MACEDONIA your making me jealous I’m buying one soon🤣
Take a trip over to Z1 performance and some of the VQ forums.
These records are incredible. Definitely doing this from this point forward.
Nice way of keeping your recipts and he also took pics.goat..
🐐
Awesome video and very detailed. Thanks for the information and great job on taking care of your car. Not a lot of people do that anymore!
I'm blessed to be an owner of the original 2003 G35 coupe MT. I've driven it for 216,000 original miles as a daily spirited driver. The performance, ride and looks still pleases me till this day. I've kept up with maintenance and never had to replace anything except fluids, tires, brakes, oil, sparkplugs. The window motor, door lock regulator, seat controls and ac/ radio head unit repair were the only malfunctions. Everything else is still original.
I love this old body style 2 door. I have a G35X 4 door and a G37S 2 door and I'd almost straight up trade for the G35 two door. Very nice ride man. EXCELLENT
i still own 2008 g35x for winter beater. Ive driven through 30 cm of snow, ice rain storm, 800km rd trip to montreal and it earned my trust! I love the car, the only problem is that on the road, every freaggin car wants to race me. I know its not the fastest car on the rd but camry, rav 4s old 3 series..are you serious? lol
c63 amg 2013 haha this comment made me laugh. I have an 06 maxima and every trucks wants to race 😂
Real Wheel car driving in Canadian Snow ....sure .... stop the shit talk
@@santosjerez1586 it is awd u ignorant
Jeff Safawi lol he’s a idiot
I have an 06' Coupe and I have the exact same problem lol. It's like God damn it people I just wanna go home...
I have my stock 2003 6 speed with about 95,000 miles on it now. I'm the original owner. I've basically just done the scheduled maintenance and not had any major issues. Rarely drive the car the last few years, just mostly keep it garaged.
Getting one soon 🙏🏽 yours is so beautiful, the exact set up I’m shooting for
Bro I look up to you. I have a G35 I had for 4 year I bought it with 71,000 miles and now I have 123,000 miles I love my G35 it’s my first car as well that I own! It’s a 2006
This is one of the most well kept cars I’ve seen
Was watching videos on cost of ownership of cars I like, this one is just really inspirational 👍
I've had mine from 18k to 180k, and one hub, hood hinge, cat, engine, steering shaft joint, cam sensor, window motor, fuel pump.... soo yea
Arizona, I understand. Hey, I ended up buying a G37x, I'm absolutely in love with it and because of you, I went with Infiniti over Acura. Thank you.
I just got my 05 sedan rev up at 170xxx just did all fluids thanks to your vids you are my hero
she still running?
I had my 2010 g37 sedan for 2 1/2 years now and only thing I have done to it was oil changes and breaks
Infinity just nails it. There made to be driven in a sporty way. Also timmimg chain engines. No timmimg belt crap! My 2008 M45s is about to turn 100,000 and just did a full tune up and fluids. Hope it last 170.000 or more cause it's truely one of my top 5 dream cars. That's awesome you kept a log on your car btw. I kinda do the same.
Thank you! Yep, timing belts are stupid. Did you see my upload yesterday on the M45? ruclips.net/video/NnvNpA3nL6A/видео.html
Dude, fuck timing belts dude. Wish my TL 6MT never came timing belt.
What an awesome video bro, u have her looking brand new after all these years. I'm going to hit 175 k on mine probably on my next trip to work so u are right man if u take care of the G she will take care of u. I hope u have another decade with that beast she is definitely beautiful.
Like that you documented everything you done in a binder
My 07 has 88k and I'm trying to keep it low as she's not my daily. Must say your g is sweet! The sound is incredible. Keep posting as this g is my fave of all time
Excellent documentation and great looking car! I have a 2007 g35 rwd sedan - it drives and shifts like a brand new car. It was owned by a lady who kept it in excellent condition. Got it at 76k and now has 118k. Always replaced the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30. I have driven new cars (2016 maxima, Altima, 2014 335i, 2016 Camry, 2014 Corolla) and my car drives smoother, shifts better (besides the maxima cvt), also just purchased a 2015 q50 sport which is a good car but I enjoy my g35 more. I will be getting a radiator flush in a month, and transmission flush. Solid cars - I do wish the interior quality was better (serious need)
Im in AZ too, maybe one day we can meet once I get my g35 looking nice...
Hey man congrats on keeping your ride up to date. Hey i just purchased an 08 g37s. How hard is it to change the spark plugs? Will it be the same as the g35? Is it something i can do my self with basic knowledge? Thanks
Congrats on those numbers man💪🏻👊🏻
Awesome video cant wait till I get the funds for one and a motordyne exhaust
i like your car maintenance log book, ill start to do that too:)
Question--Why do all the G37's and the g35's that don't have the seat controls in the seat have warped and damaged thigh support in the drivers seat on the left side? Can these be repaired without buying a new seat. Thanks.
Dude you inspired me to get one of these, just bought an 05 coupe, stick. Will give an update in 1000 miles but so far it has been well... more fun than any car I’ve driven. Ever.
It only gets better. By far the best mod is the Motordyne Shockwave and Motordyne ART pipes. The car transforms exoctic as much as it possibly can.
Motordyne G35 yea man it sounds amazing with those on. I gotta take care of the rear wheel bearings but after that I’m gonna upgrade the exhaust, put a new intake on and get a tune. Possibly will also get that one weird spacer thing done with the engine cover idk what it is but my friend told me about it. He says two of the cylinders come kinda restricted. You heard of what he’s talking about?
@@tylerwaterman9442 ...well you have a 6MT like I do. So the 5/16th spacer only works when paired with MREV2. Yes, your friend is right. It is cylinder 1 and 2 that get starved for air. They are at the very front of the engine.
@@tylerwaterman9442 ...oh yeah, I forgot to say congrats on getting a G!
I don't think the power steering pump was mentioned. The OEM pumps are very expensive. Would you personally get a remanufactured or used one from a used parts dealer?
Thank you for making this video man! I am going to buy a 2007 350Z this weekend, and I am nervous about it because I normally never spend money! (I would get a g35 but I'm a single graduate student with not much stuff and I never move things, so I don't really need the back seats).
how did the purchase go? I bought a 2004 350z convertible last year. it had been sitting for 7 years in a garage only started once a week. great car and has only gotten better after breaking in again.
@@ghostman76015 Dude, it was a crazy story... basically the 350Z I wanted was sold, but they sold me a rebuilt title 370Z Touring for $10k..... what a great purchase that was! I miss my 370Z... I eventually traded it for a Infiniti Q50, which is nice, but I def miss the Z.
How did you replace the Bose head unit? Did you reuse speakers and amp? Thanks.
geeze man your very detailed oriented lol
Great video! I have a 2009 G35 Coupe. Do you know any good repair shops here in Southern CA that I can trust with my car? I don’t have the skills you have. Too many claim to know how to fix this car but don’t do it correctly. I think the Cam sensor is bad.
Dude I need some advice I found a 07 g35 coupe 86k miles. And I’m planning to mods the car too! it’s in excellent condition. Question. Is the miles too high?
That underpass. Was that Phoenix Arizona?
I just purchased a Infinity M35 Sport and the thing has me paranoid. but it does need very little work. I have the whole statement from the dealership with. 25 point inspection and was wondering if you do live in Arizona would you mind taking a look at it for me.
Where or how or what would you do for interior replacement? Just keep watching eBay or something for OEM parts? Feeling pretty down on finding parts.
hello, how much did all the repairs and replacements cost? and how much did it cost with the mods?
201,334 - 05 350z Touring and still going strong!
Mines at 75k. Replaced all fluids and belts. Is there anything else to replace soon? I'm thinking clutch + flywheel are on their way out, then maybe spark plugs at 100k. Do most people need to rebuild their diff?
Did I miss it, in your G35 Repair Journal, you list the date and repairs done but not the prices you paid, or do you place that info elsewhere in your book? Very detailed and informative Information. I am considering buying one like yours! Thumbs UP and Thanks!
Have you had any axle clicking problems on your car? Mine recently started doing it.
Are parts expensive for it? I want to either get a 370 or a g37. Knowing the Infinity is a luxury brand, how much more are the parts for it compared to Nissans?
Just curious, at what point did you experience the camshaft/crankshaft sensor failure that seems to plague all of our engines?
SpideySensei72 ......first at 70k miles, then again at 140k. Yeah it is very common.
My G35 has 265k...still runs strong!!!
Have u had the problem where your gas gage start malfunctioning and giving the wrong gas levels? Its happening to me and i dont know how to fix it
Nyzflyyguy....Yes my gas gauge has been messed up for years. I tried cleaning the sending unit when I replaced the fuel pump, still didn't work.
I just use the trip meter, mileage tracking is always more accurate anyway. Around 250 miles, I always fill it up.
Great content man. Im a big fan of the g35 coupes and can't wait to get one after deployment this year. Any personal advice on which year would be less of a headache?
Jordan Dennis after 06. The HRs are a lot better. (07-08)
Even though I own 2005, I recommend either a 06 or 07. I've converted to 06-07 projector headlights and I got lucky with the CD009 gearbox with a late model 2005. 06-07 came with CD009 gearbox on all the manuals.
Thanks for the replies. I'll look into the 06-07 model when Im back home.
Isn’t the CD009 prone to slave cylinder issues lol?
But anything’s better than the 03-05 trans with the 3 rd gear grind
I bought a motordyne plenum spacer and a 75MM throttle body. I was planning to put them on right away and the tune would have to wait since I’m running a bit of a tight schedule for it. (It’ll be an e tune) I’m at 151k miles almost 152. Should I be alright running w the mods? Because I was gonna do these sorts of maintenance and install an oil catch can right after I install both engine mods.
Dude you have the absolute coolest best most organized log of anything and everything and all information to the point where it makes my mouth water , sick just grabbed a 37s I grab it tm I’m amped !!!!!
Hi-TechGaming23 ....thank you! Nice choice and congratulations on getting a G37!
Motordyne G35 thanks man any besides oil mainly what do you rec me going ahead and servicing , I would assume things like throttle body cleaning and such ???
My video on what Oil to use according the lab results on a used oil anaylsis......ruclips.net/video/acaKSlA4o40/видео.html
If you touch the butterfly on the throttle you will have to do the idle relearn, my video here.....ruclips.net/video/TZJfWQLGUZI/видео.html
Motordyne G35 thanks appreciate the reply’s and I will watch and learn !
Hey, love your vids. With reference to the fuel pump, did you ever experience the fuel gauge dropping under E and stop working?
Do any alternators , starters and radiators automatically come with life time warranty or certain brands ? Thanks
idk how you keep making content. I love it.
Hey motordyne I have a question, I’m experiencing some type of problems with my g35. I just got a brand new exedy clutch. Before I had some disengagement issues so the car wasn’t fully disengaging. So then I adjusted the pedal and it ended up working and fixed the solution but now I also found out that if I push in the clutch it doesn’t disengage right away. It’ll take maybe a second or so for the rpms to drop after pushing in the clutch so I can’t shift until that happens otherwise I’ll grind. You have any ideas what the problem could be?
Adjusting the pedal is not what you need to do. When you replaced the clutch, did you replace the slave cylinder? My video on doing it here........ruclips.net/video/jHpRnibzmjo/видео.html
What year is your G35? How many miles? Have you ever changed the gearbox oil before? Late model 05's and after got the CD009 gearbox which has stronger syncro. My gear box is a CD009 and not a CD001. Old syncros take longer to engage gears, so you have to shift slower to allow them to engage, which is a sign your syncros are going out. Most likely 3rd gear is going out for you? ? ?
Question. I have a 04 350z and I was going to do the same set up without the coils and intake ,but I’m at 167k miles. Should I start modding it now or buy a new motor first or what would be the best option for me ?
If your car is generally in good reliable shape, your mileage shouldnt be an issue for similar mods. If you wanna spend $$$$$ on a worked engine, race it for money or buy something better! The price alone for some of the performance engine parts could buy you another car!
i’m looking to buy a 177,000 mile 04 g35 coupe for 4,500, what do you think ?
Issac Gonzalez in my own opinion i think that’s a little too much for 177k miles
i know this comment is old.. but for anyone else in the same situation, that price is way too high even if it has mods at that mileage you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the mods for too long
Issac Gonzalez i got a 07 g35 sedan with 161k for $5000
My friend is selling a bmw for 3,000 is that good
Issac: (10 months ago) and if it is running fine and has a good service record I suspect you've already bought it, I think that was a pretty good deal.
Is Amzoil better than Mobil 1 ? Should I be using it ? If so what grade of Amzoil ? My car takes 5/30 .
See my video on used oil lab results. ruclips.net/video/acaKSlA4o40/видео.html
I have a 5AT 07 G35 Sedan(120k mi). What do i need to get or do to the car to get 300 wheel horsepower out of the V36? I'm not trying to go FI just yet since its my daily at the moment. It's also my first car and I plan to keep it forever.
I have a 2008 Infiniti G 35 with 125k miles what do u think drove great during test drive took a mechanic said it was a great car wasn’t leaking anything
Got her looking really good man!!
Just got my G35 back from my son. I got work to do. Great vid. 😅
My 2004 g sedan has been over heating at idle with the ac on I replaced the clutch fan and the small electric fan in front of the radiator and ran good for like 2 months and then last night it did it again. It had a new thermostat and system had been flushed too so now I am stumped but I scanned it a few days ago and it was the u1000 or the ipdm engine room fuse box code popped up so you think it make have something to do ? I’m still new to these cars
Hey man I have a quick question, my 06 g35 de non rev up auto has the Slip,ABS,and VDC light is stuck off the button does not work neither does the trunk button, also my heat is blowing cold. If you have experienced this before please let me know, just bought mine a month ago.
Damn did you get it fixed ???? I’m buying a 06 in a few days
@@juanposada3530 I fixed my heat I just bled the coolant hose, and the lights I’m thinking a fuse, I definitely recommend this vehicle besides these little pesky issues, But what do you expect for 3500 for 114,000 miles.
@@juanposada3530 if your getting one with under 100k miles that thing will be very reliable and you probably won’t have to do much maintenance for it, the g35 really needs some maintenance above the 100k mike range, differential bushings, new radiator maybe, fuel pump , thermostat, if you live in a salty cold area like me these will def be an issue same with control arms bushings. But whatever you do if there is an electrical problem..STAY AWAY
Did your upstream 02 sensors go out when you had OEM catalytic converters or when you switched to MD Art pipes?
I got two codes
P2a03
P2a00 a month or so after. Installing Art pipes could it be the art pipes or just the 12 year old 02 sensors gone bad, My 2006 G has 105,xxx
Thank You
I had test pipes before MD ART pipes. The ART pipes I put on at 117k and the sensors went bad at 130k miles in 2015. It is most likely your sensors old age.
My codes when my 02 sensors went bad:
Found: 2 codes!
**********
P1283,A/F Sensor Lean shift (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
**********
P1273,A/F Sensor Lean shift (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
Yes mine are also a lean code for the upstream 02 sensors. Heard you say in the video you changed the upstream but you were still getting a code. Would you suggest changing the upstreams or downstreams or all of them Lol???
mistuh Christian your car's ECM is looking for changes in the exhaust air/fuel byproduct before and after the cats. Except you dont have any cats! Test pipes and art pipes, they do not and are incapable performing the duties of catalytic converters. Get some high flow cats and new oxygen senors. Your problem will be solved. Those parts are for racing applications or are only for use in states that dont legally require emmision control devices!
Do you have to worry about the clutch problem with automatics?
Know this an older video but what you think about an 08 g35 journey with only 36k miles for 11k? Wanting a fun weekend driver but not sure of the price.
Not_Reggie_Watts if it’s not a salvage title it’s a bargain. That car with 36k miles should be around 13-15k
for my g I parked it for a while and all of a sudden I had a couple dashboard lights that came on that were never there like the slip sign the vdc sign and the service engine soon and I would click the vdc button to turn it off and it would stay and all of a sudden the slip and vdc signs came off but the service engine soon it still on there why would this happen?
How did you get that light under your car ? Where can I get one ?
did you do you chain tensioner ? mine is making a noise at 150k
You do the repairs yourself so it’s cheaper for you? I have a g37 so I have to pay someone
Damn my 02 altima 3.5 never any of those issues and I drove that thing hard, only had 170,000KM on it though before she got into an accident
this March. :(
Granted HR vs DE so slightly different but oh well sometimes you just get lucky. Looking forward to grabbing my G37 Coupe tomorrow. :)
Does anyone know if the manual transmissions are known to brake in those cars? I have a 2004 Coupe 6mt with 120k miles and am curious what to expect.
I got a G35 at 191k miles and I did a compression 4 days ago. Came out at 180psi across the board doing 5 ignition starts with #4 at 190psi, but I did 6 on that one. Just do the typical car maintenance, and that baby will continue to pull like it did years ago, maybe not exactly as hard, but you get the point. Just don't be a jackass all the time and it's a damn good reliable car.
Question if my rims are like yours heavy all metal will they damage my axle arms?
My 07 G35 Sedan is at 220K miles.
Replaced Transmission @170. Low on liquid so "my fault".
Replaced AC compressor -600$ at 200K miles.
Replaced Cat Converter -500$
That's all for major components..
Should I be concerned about buying a g35 with 170k miles
Not at all. 300k very common as long as you check the oil levels.
Awesome informative and real lly useful review. I wonder if this is comparable or how this compares to what dealerships promote to have a full service record if you use them every time. Also how many man hours would you guestimate you put into servicing yourself? This gives a paper pusher some idea of total parts, maintenance and labor. It could be not as good. The internet thanks you.
How stiff is the exedy stage 1 compared to the stock clutch?
KpopNiDontStop ....the same.
Is that factory tint ? I bought my g35 2 years ago and it looks to have the same amount as yours. reason asking is because I got a stupid ticket for tint but I did not put the tint on thats how I bought my car from some dealership in Los Angeles.
Enrique Lopez .....Not factory tint, not even close. That is 20%. Means only 20% of light can enter. I think in Arizona anything under 30% is illegal.
For the rear o2 sensors were you pulling a p1283 code?
Made it 1500 miles after art pipe install and thinking those sensors should be replaced. I'm at 140k
I once owned a Vauxhall Vectra ( the uncoolest car in the UK ) and did 170k miles in 6 years. In that time the only fault was a stone through the air conditioning condenser. Other than this only routine maintenance needed.
Oil change every 10k. Major service every 40k. Brake discs lasted 120k and the tires did 50k per set. The cheapest working car I’ve owned but a lot more dull than your Infinity 😁
Thank god I found you ‼️‼️
Got my 04 g35 coupe in December, automatic (don’t hate) with 54k miles . It was babied but man oh man does it hall ass, I don’t run it hard but when I do it runs. So far I’ve only had to do an oil change and change the alternator belt but getting the brake rotors and pads changed soon. Clean lookin G 👌💯
Congrats on getting a G! No hate at all and let me know if you have problems down the road. I can help!
How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I literally am looking at one same year and milege tomorrow!!!
Owner of a 03 350Z since new only big repair Bill was a Clutch ....only has 87K on it great car as a daily driver ..although I drive only in the summer had the chance to Drive a 05 G35 car is loose not even close what I expected .... quick power in 1st gear ,
your clutch went out fast
Did the fuel pump actually fail? That's one I have not come across on the forms. My 05 sport coupe is @ 141k miles now.
That means your fuel pump is 13 years old, really 14 years now. No mine didn't fail, but anything over 150,000 miles is on borrowed time. Worse case, you will just be stranded somewhere. New fuel pump is $280. Tow truck is $100. If you wait, you will be buying both when it happens to you.
Also, check out my video on how to tell if you have a bad fuel pump....ruclips.net/video/vKFEq0cApNw/видео.html
Understand that. This is my second car and I have roadside assistance (free tows) with State Farm . Used them twice (radiator let go last year). I'll wait.
I’m at 234K on the dash, engines never been opened. Beat the crap out of it everyday, wonderful car. Uprev tuned making 273whp
