710HP Single Turbo Infiniti G35 Review: The 400z’s Worst Nightmare

  • The Infiniti G35 along with all the other VQ engine platforms are at an all time high when it comes to performance car availability. With cars that started their lives in the 30-40 thousand dollar range, these cars can now be bought by a teenager for their first car. So what happens when you take the VQ engine in the G35 and push it to the limit? This G35 single turbo beast howls like a banshee down the road with a factory interior and near factory exterior. So let's take it for a rip and see if it's even worth taken this nearly 20 year old platform and push it to it's limit.

    I bought a brand new G35 Coupe 6-Speed in 2006. At 11,000 miles I had a Turbonetics Single Turbo system installed. It added about 120 whp, wasn't the fastest street car, but was fun and reliable. It would lay down an honest sub-4 second 0-60 and I daily drove it almost 70,000 miles before selling it a few years ago. The G35/Z350 platform is worth looking at if you are considering a cool build that won't cost a fortune. Aside from all of that, it is actually a very nice and well built car.

Then had to get a clutch which ended up being $2k because labor time was doubled bc of the turbo setup. If you wanna build the motor thats another $9kish (what Z1 quoted me). Ended up making 438/426 @ 8psi and it was fun but honestly not as fast as I expected for that kinda power. Built motor same setup could have done 550whp-600 but I didnt want to spend the $. Put 20k miles on the setup with very few issues before I sold the car. IMO you're better off just buying something thats fast from the factory, preferably something turbo so you can get good gains from downpipes, exhaust and a tune.

    6:25 - exactly why I won't do an exhaust on my G37. It's a daily, only better air filters and has surprised lot's of people for a stock sedan on base 17" rims with G-MAX AS-05 all seasons. VQ motors cost A LOT to make big power. Either do it right, or keep it basic bolt on / go big on handling and leave the stickers at home. Though at that point just buy a Z. I'm in a G for comfort. Just took a clearly modded G35 coupe and the dude had HKS stickers, etc all up and down the door. Lowered, loud AF exhaust, etc. Yet beaten by a stock 37 with near 100k on the clock.

      Anyway, I 100% agree with you! Dat booty dohhhh! Also not everyone can afford an exhaust at first and when they were still newer, when people still had warranties and the like.. People could be deterred from modifying their cars, I wouldn't say stock exhaust counts for nothing just because everyone hates stock exhausts! There's definitely something to be said for a good ass sounding exhaust from the factory, in my book anyway.

    I get why he did more power, I did a single turbo setup on my G35 and for 440whp/426tq it just didnt feel as fast as youd think a car with that kind of power would. It was a fun car but in hindsight I don't think was worth the $. I think I would have been better off just selling it and buying something fast from the factory. And then there was the blowing coil packs issue that ended up costing $6k after diagnosis, an unnecessary ecu replacement and rental car costs and turned out to just be a bad ground wire.

As a straight piped (resonated on almost all sections) with intakes and untuned G, idk if everybody just gives up during the race or if I’m actually faster, but I prolly make barely 300whp and most cars on the road can’t keep up.
