5 Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE BUYING A Infiniti G35 !

- As you all very well know the Infiniti G35 is by far my favorite car. Regardless here are five things about the Infiniti G35 that I wish I had known prior to buying one.
1. Fuel pump issues seem to naturally happen when you own a Vq engine, so most of the time I/you have no idea how much gas we have in our tanks but atleast can be easily fixed.
2.Oem Paint when I first purchased the g35 it was repainted black but on my other g35 had gem paint which was sadly terrible . Both of my cars ended up needing to get repainted at a shop. Then again what do you expect purchasing a old car compared to new.
3. I personally did NOT know how to drive manual when purchasing the g35 so I regret not buying a stick shift G.
4. Value of the Infiniti G35 deprecation , I over paid for this car and didn't realize how much cheaper I could've purchased it at.
5. Oil Consumption- the Infiniti G35 LOVES oil and burns through gas and oil like crazy I've heard they recommend a oil catch can to resolve this problem.

Just for anyone who doesn't know just use your odometer to keep track of your gas if you don't want to replace the fuel sensor i say about 200 miles is when you need to gas her up again. Nice vid though
thank you for the feed back!:)
Definitely can get over 320 miles on a full tank. My gas guage still works, but I'm usually at half a tank at 160ish. That will it running lean sometimes so my gas mileage fluctuates between 16-18mpg. I never run it with less than a quarter tank. Gotta keep that full pump cool.
@@nowimhigh Awesome! This will help some people out in the comments and me thank you for the advice/ strats you use!
Agree
Yup, that whats I do. Fill up at 200 miles!
You talk about the paint then you use the brush at the car wash, that may be why the paint is bad
lol the only reason i use the brush is cuz the paint was already bad due to not using a very good painter
@@OfficialKingJoe if there is decent paint on the car it can be corrected to make it look better, touching paint is bad, especially with something like a car wash brush, somebody uses that on wheels, muddy trucks and who knows
@@chevelle1967 the paint looked decent on camera but its actually really bad in person so i had to repaint the g now that its repainted correctly i no longer use the brush. i appreciate the info bro!:)
@@OfficialKingJoe You get what you pay for. If you had it painted 3 times, plus the factory paint, paint it again won't last. Too many refinishes, need to strip to bare metal. A decent paint job over factory paint will probably cost over $5000.00.
@@simba2ndpatches14 i agree bro i have a new color change coming soon ;)
I installed an oil catch can, mine has two inlets and one outlet. It's baffled so I can run a closed system. I have both banks running from the valve covers pcv system to the OCC. Then the outlet running to the vacuum to the lower plenum.
It definitely helps keep everything clean, I'll empty it maybe once a month. It'll catch about an oz or so. It helped with oil consumption too. Before I was having to put like a qt of oil in every 1k or so. Now I only have to top it off maybe 1/2 a qt every 1k. Just depends if I'm driving it hard or not. It definitely helps keep all that blow by from being sucked back into the engine.
One thing you should’ve known was not to use that brush on your car to wash it. People drop those things on the ground all of the time. There’s probably hella scratches from small dirt or rocks and your car is black.
I know cause that’s how I scratched my g
I know I was getting my car repainted so I just didn’t care for scratches thank you for looking out tho I appreciate it!
@@OfficialKingJoe how much did the paint job cost you
@@skiturbo8622 honestly too much it wasnt worth it , it was around 2 grand
@@OfficialKingJoe would you suggest i get a wrap instead
Funny, my 2003 has the original paint on it, goes 7.5k-10k between oil changes, uses no oil, never has a problem with the fuel gauge, and etc. Maybe you should of bought one with 60k miles on it, instead of one with 200k miles on it that has been beaten into the ground.
Shit buddy 10k is a bit of a stretch with the oil changes
I own a 2004 g35, the good thing about our years is that it was before the HR version of the vq was put into them, they don’t burn oil like the 2005+ g35s
I still respect it you probably grinded for that bro
your not burning oil because you don’t have the rev up engine, 2004-2007 sometimes burn oil
Wtf does "Should of" mean?
kept the video short and sweet 🙌🏽🙌🏽
It was long enough to show he knows as much about cars like a 12 year old girl would know, and he can't drive a manual transmission!
This nguyena don’t know what he talkin’ ‘bout! 😆
It sounded like he bought a car that was rode hard and beaten into the ground, so now the wise one thinks all g35's are shit like his. And wow that car is dirty, look at the up close shots of his interior, you can tell the previous owner didn't care about this car. I paid $7200 for my 2003 Canadian 6 speed g35 coup (better than any US sold one in the same year since you can't get many of the Canadian options in the 2003 US version) and it has absolutely none of these problems, but that's probably because it wasn't beaten into the ground, and because it only has 60k miles.
Dark alley would be a perfect intro song for this channel
id have to look into it! thanks!
Loving Your G35 Content! Keep It Up!
Thank You More G35 Videos Coming!
Lol the gas meter is always off on mine too. Left me standraned a couple times
Lol Glad someone could relate to me
Check out the videos on how to clean the two fuel sending units. It’s not difficult. Try cleaning before replacing.
@@paulrosemond1442 Thank You! will look into that!
I thought that was just me! But yeah my gas meter works sometimes and doesn't other times so I just keep my tank over a quarter full just in case
@@kenya_kkworld9460 pops always told me the same thing, always keep it with gas cause you never know
Loving the g content keep it up!🔥
More to come!
More to come!
Have the same gas gauge issue, never bothered fixing it just reset the odometer every time I fill up. Also ran out of gas a few times but it’s a great a car
sameeeeee here lol gotta love g's , i love mines no matter the flaws it may have and love making g content to entertain and inform others:)
Good tips to know....thanks!
I hope you know that the fuel gage isn’t always accurate right when you turn on the car you have to drive it for at least a minute for it to correct itself same way if you car tells you the tire pressure you have to drive on the tires first before getting a proper estimate
Never knew the fuel gauge problem was common 😓
sadly :( I've had 3 gs and every single of one of them had that problem
@@OfficialKingJoe is fuel sensor easy fix ? How hard is it and price ?
@@jrod833 I've heard its easy and cheap I dont remember tho
@@jrod833 I fixed mine by changing the fuel level sensor on the driver’s underneath the rear seat. The part will run you around $130-140 at the dealer and if you’re mechanically able you can fix it in around 20 minutes.
My 06 is still has new paint OEM paint
alright where you get the headlights? they look amazing!
It does matter how you take care of the paint. There are many methods to apply paint protection. As a detailer I'm offended 🤣! Why repaint it several times if you could have just wrapped it🤔?
love ur vids man!
thannk you i have ALOT more videos coming, stay tuned!:)
cre8tive garage supporting from las vegas .. keep up the hard work
shoutout to yall i appreciate the support! and of course ill keep letting out some bangers!

@@cre8tivegarage157 ofc bro I got y’all !
honestly I got a g35 auto my first car and its not bad with the oil problem either just fill it up once every 2 weeks on top of it and yoo my car seen harsh weathers bro like Canada Toronto be fucking up my car but still love and if u live in a hot weather area buy a Miata super suck fun car.
i agree with you, and i looked into miatas in my area but couldnt find a decent one that has been beat on.... but i did cop a new daily :) i should have a new video out soon on what i picked up!
Hey so I have a 05 g35 and my gas gage along with my dash monitor doesn't work properly could those be connected if so what can I do to fix it
Thanks for sharing this video👍
Mines a 03 and the OEM paint is still going!
What wheels are those and what are the specs on them
Wed glossas 19x10.5 front 19x11.5 rear
Autos blow. Put it back to stock and sell it and get urself a stick. Sticks are more expensive and harder to find in good shape compared to autos. I paid 6500 for mine but it only has 100k miles
i bought another daily and also have the g the new daily is stick shift and a new video should be up soon of what car i purchased. The G was my first car at that moment i didnt know how to drive stick so i had to deal with what i had got into
Discredited as soon a he used the brush at the carwash
lol was getting a new paint Job anyway hehe
Superb content
Its an easy fix for the gas hand there is a little board on the fuel pump you clean it with alcohol I actually got the video off of youtube
thank you I'm definitely going to look into that
My boy lookin high dab
lmao i dont smoke just was very tired
Great video
Va are my brother has a manual 58k née motor and he has a ls engine and tranny with harness and case and 4wd swap all on the side too near va area
Put new fuel meter or bring extra gas
Replaced The Fuel Pump and always carry gas lol
Maybe if you were to keep that quarter car wash brush off of it might help
I been in love with the g35 for a few years. Ik how to drive manual. Would u recommend getting it in manual as a first car to daily?
if you are fine with driving manual in traffic then yes i do reccomend get a manual its alot more fun!
Nice car. What are those headlights called?
spec d tuning headlights
My mans got finnesed while buying this
That's crazy lmao my fuel gauge is fkd up right now.
lmao its a common problem on these cars
Get one good paint restoration job done. Then ceramic coat… it will Stay glossy and beautiful for 5 years without a recoat
just got it repainted check out my newest vids to see the color I went with:)
Beautiful Car and clean, but too much oil 🙄 Doesn't sound good
i dont use a brush a my thing faded in quarter panels 2 summer only!
i only use brush cuz i got some big plans coming for the g either way!
Nice car bro
I refuse to take any advice from a guy that buys automatic and uses the scrub brush at the car wash
lmao that's perfectly fine these are just things I know I experienced and so have others. No matter auto or manual I drive both this isn't my only car but nor does It matter if someone drives an auto or manual . Its okay to hate bro I was getting a new paint job that's why I used the scrub brush 😂
Very interesting. I’ve always wondered about infinites but it’s kinda like a Acura too
How is a Nissan kind of a Honda?
Is the g35/37 a good first car?
yes I highly recommend them!
My have hid light Factory, i want to replace the headlights for after market
Awesome! Theyll look good!
@@OfficialKingJoe but my question is i can use the factory hid in a new set of headlights
Aye bruh do yk how much a 2005 g35 should be? And also how much u pay to get it painted
price would depend on what kind of tittle and how many miles and the condition of the car and to get the car painted at maaco would be around1800
@@OfficialKingJoe thanks bruh, ima cop it
@@Angel-wz7rz bet no problem bro!
So what’s the cars fair value?
just depends on the condition you find it in and the kind of tittle it has along with miles:)
I’d say anywhere from 6k to 15k depending on the model make and interior
Where do i buy a car like that what webiste fid u buy urs!
which car
@@OfficialKingJoe the g35
@@ajsaldana1897 i bought mine off a dealership but found it on facebook market
I also found my g35 on Facebook market. Been great so far, even with its flaws.
Why u had to do the g like that with the foam brush
g was getting a new paint job anyways
Super
Like the g bro
thank you bro you a real one!
oil change
gas gauge - gas used a lot
paint ass (esp black)
Burns oil to fast?? Any car is burning oil fast when you constantly get on it.
i hardly ever get on it , i like to baby the car lol
I have the same headlights how do I make the leds run during the daytime
turn auto off on them you'd just have to manually turn them on whenever you need to
@@OfficialKingJoe manually turn them on ? I want the leds to shine during the day but not the headlights themselves
@@christopherhunt4758 mine turn on when I move it one time and then when I turn the switch all the way the whole headlight turn on
I had two cars with this engine for 7 years. Never had to add Any Oil. Never had Any issues with the fuel gage. I loved mu att transmition. Something is wrong with your car Dude.
car is doing just fine now that was just some things I had problems with on my car and also heard others were having this same common issue
@@OfficialKingJoe ok. I see. I believe the issues you are suggesting is not really common. Commonly those engines are rather bullet proof and hardly consumes a zero oil between the changes. I was very surprised you had those issues and this suggest me that car previously was not maintenance well, maybe. Cause what you have experienced is certainly not normal.
I feel like if you had two vq’s for that long you def babied the fuck out of your shit, I got my z for two weeks and it threw a rod and was consuming so much oil before hand, I have had nonstop trouble with pedal sensors and throttle bodies and crank/cam sensors, so idk what you talkin bout my z has not been very realizable, not to mention the Grindy geara
Sweet
what year is best for a G35?
id prefer 2006+ in my opinion
I‘d say 2007
05 and up bro
The engine oil consumption issues is mainly with the 2003-2005 if I remember correctly? 🤔
I believe Infiniti fixed that with the 2006-2007 model year.
I've own 4 to 5 G35 coupe all from 2006-2007 model year Never had any oil consumption problem.
I'm very lucky to have a very reliable G35 coupe so far (knock on wood) lol 😆😄
Own a G37S and Infiniti Q50 with 3.7 liters as well.
Infiniti are very reliable cars if you take care of them like routine oil, transmission and Radiator fluid, replace spark plugs when the time come etc..!
very true I agree with ya I plan on building a q50soon love how they look fixed up and also thank you for commenting this so others can see and take your advice!:)
Should know not to use that brush on any ride you actually give 2 cents about.
one who is properly socialized abuses their g/z
Awesome
Get both
yesssirrr will do:)
Skipped a little and landed on him talking ab fucking running outta gas lmfaoo that not the car buddy that u not putting gas in tank
how did you get your body to look like that
wym
Pause lmaoo
what year is ur g35?
2006 :)
Does anybody knows what a P1065 code is on the g35? I can’t even drive this shit cause of that😒 it starts driving normal but then when I press the gas instead of going faster it’s like I’m pressing the brake it starts braking n making a weird sound like it’s drowning or sum shit
wish i could help bro ive never had that problem honestly im sorry
@@OfficialKingJoe it’s all good bro I’ll just take it to the shop and see what’s wrong with it keep up the good videos 🤘🏻

whole car was getting a new paint job anyways :) lol its no longer black check out the new vids!
Soo overall a decent car?
yes definitely
Imma just wrap it tho
that works too lol was thinking the same
when was it made?
when was what made?
@@OfficialKingJoe I think he means like the year
@@xkyvx6 oh okay thanks lol was confused
the g is a 2006
Is 5k a good price for 116kmiles?
just depends if it was well maintained and the condition of the car:)
Yes
Plz tell me u got it already
how much miles does your g have ?
140K miles :)
@@OfficialKingJoe i purchased a g35 yesterday and i’m debating on my first mod being either a cold air intake from dynomax or the plenum spacers. what do you recommend and should i go a totally different route?
@@slipperylatex872 congrats bro you gonna fall in love with your G35.... but it just depends if you are looking to help your g gain more horse power or if you more like a looks type of person. if you are looking to gain a bit of HP id go with the cold air intake :)
@@slipperylatex872 definitely a plenum spacer it changes the whole dynamic of the car. Combined with a CAI it gives it a beastly growl.
While you have everything apart when installing the plenum spacer. Use that to replace valve cover gaskets. I just got a new set with gaskets and hardware for $55 on ebay. Painted them this silver color. Changed my plugs and coil packs. Cleaned the hell out of plenum and intake manifolds. I then painted the plenum a 🔵 color. It awakened this car by alot. Before I couldn't even touch the plenum it'd be so hot. Now I can drive it 4 hrs straight and whenever I touch it it's cool to the touch. I also have a CAI so that helps.

Buy a g35 if you Will be hanging out with the shawtys
yessssirrrrrr

In other words NO BUENO 😂
Gas gauge this is messed up on my G, so annoying
sameeeee ive ran out of gas plenty of times cause of it lol
@@OfficialKingJoe I wonder if buying a new fuel pump will fix that issue the floater may have taken damage on the OEM one.
@@guardian8319 i heard just cleaning it fixes the issue could just be clogged

@@OfficialKingJoe cleaning it worked for me.
they love gas too hella😒 😂
oh yeah def. burns thru gas like crazyyy lmao
How much did you buy? Cuz tomorrow i'ma check one out but don't know if its go price
I over paid for mines but just depends on how many miles and what kinda tittle and condition the car is in
@@OfficialKingJoe it has a new motor with 130 miles the conditions looks good. He's asking 6,100 for it. But I hope I can drop it to 5,000 at least. Do you think it's a good price?
@@lucario7749 for 5k and in good condition with low mileage sounds like a good deal to me
@@lucario7749 5 k over where I’m at is what it’s going for in Milwaukee but 4-5 k should be decent

what kinda engine should i put in it?:)
How much is the insurance
just depends on your age and insurance company you go with
Man I have been struggling with the fuel gauge forever
