710HP Single Turbo Infiniti G35 Review: The 400z’s Worst Nightmare
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июн 2021
- 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.

This thing was quite the handful. I appreciate all you guys stopping by today!
Can you make a video about the EPA
@@LFE-mi2em did he not already?
@@xInline6 Needs to do another they are going after shops now check out PFI's video
What's that yellow car at 6:22?
I would love to meet you David u rock. Shout out from Greenville nc
People are only now learning. Welcome... We did 883WHP on mine 700WHP on a daily map. Car is NUTS.
What performance mods would you recommend for less than $5,000 while staying daily-able?
@@danzo5521 Motordyne exhaust with art pipes. Some coils with mice wheels.
@@nitish21 thanks for the reply
Those G35's will always be a timeless car to me. They still to this day break my neck [ edit: when I say break my neck I mean " damn that is a nice car"....] when I see one on the road. Love the coupes.
They’re awesome but really? Break your neck? They’re not particularly rare and I see them quite often..
@@stevienguyen2047 literally everywhere where I live lol
Need to get out more if those are breaking your neck
@@kylefitzherbert9381 Why because I think they're good looking cars???? okay...
I Agree the G35 will be 1 of those cars that will always be Beautiful. How Beautiful is in the individual, but for me it's a 8/10 always...just like the E46 M3. And yes I have both...Love them for different reasons.
Theres just something about the G
😈
it’s the VQ’s bruh
There cheap and fast. Well cheap and fast enough. I bought an 08 g35 sedan with 80k for 8k.
@@jaioncebollero1168 I bought my 12’ G37 w/ 140k for $6k 😈
The g more like the finny fin fin but nah underrated vehicle 🔥
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.
Why did you sell it? What did you replace it with?
@@justinholtgrave I believe he sold it because it had been stolen 2x and the second time he got it back he just got rid of it. It looks like he’s driving a 2014 Ford Taurus now.
The G35 is my actual dream car. I do have other cars that may be considered better, but I want a G35 or a 350z, idc.
🤣 that’s not much of a dream lmao. At least a G37/370z , c’mon
@@Lukemasonmedia right? Like at least a LaFerrari or a Apollo IE🤣 it’s not like he’s his own person and can want whatever he wants lmao
@@Lukemasonmedia Not if you are in Europe, also g37's are wack compared to the g35's. 370'z is alright but prefer the g35 body
No fucking way!!! I had to rewind to make sure I saw the South Dakota plates!!! I knew this car looked familiar!!! Hell yeah I NEVER see anyone representing SD and to see it on David's channel after all these years is crazy to me. Rock on dude
Same here. I paused it for a moment lol I look forward to seeing it in person at some point.
That's a Georgia tag, gwinnett county 1st, then it switches to south dakota??
@@316ProductionsLLC different car
It's not truly a modded car unless the hood-to-bumper fitment is terrible 😂😂
Welcome to the carbon fiber life
Stg my aftermarket g35 bumper has shit fitment
Put a sedan g35 hood on a g35 coupe and you're done? my current problem.
@@bigreddaman5988 alot of cars have proper fitment with carbon fiber panels, if you can't align it right yourself just say so 🤦
@@tillertime I'm still learning about all this can you explain your comment in more detail please.
"The 350Z in a Turbo Tuxedo" So true!
A g35 with more power than a hellcat omg I'm in love 😂
Since it is a Skyline, better than some dodge piece of shit.
@@godslayer1415 this is a g35
@@jonnyftw1441 also known as a skyline...
@@DannyPhantomNYC this is a g35. The skyline is in japan
@@jonnyftw1441 think about it this way, If I order JDM skyline v35 parts they would bolt right on to my car. So in its heart its a skyline but the outside its usdm.
I used to have one of these and loved it the sound of a turboed VQ is like playing trumpets through and turbo
As a g35 owner I appreciate you for this video 💯💯💯💯
This is probably my favorite RUclips video ever, I’ve been looking for Anyone to post about a VQ35DE that’s built and driving with higher numbers reliably. This was it for me the minute I saw the name and thumbnail followed by “thatdudeinblue” so bro please keep posting this content, soon you’re gonna be driving my high horse G35 💪👀
A little late but nitish21
I bought a 2005 g35 coupe and literally everyday i get a compliment on the sound or look (slammed, nice balck rims with oem black exterior) i have had so many cars in my life and this is by far my favorite sounding one.
David is absolutely unmatched when it comes to intro music. 🔥🔥
Loving the VQ content! You're more than welcome to drive mine when you visit for ICC this year 😉
absolutely love your stuff man keep it coming-
personally I think g's are gunna end up being the "new 240" in the drift scene- if not solely for the amount of g's and vq's produced
What are you do is great, reviewing the cars, giving your opinion, and ultimately giving us a taste of what it’s like on the inside however it would really be something if you had some second party assist you with getting some rolling video so we can hear and see exactly what you’re experiencing but on the outside.
I felt when u said "today what we got here...is traffic" I deal with that everyday, but I now want a g35 turbo
I've only ever driven one car with a VQ and it was stock but it wasn't disappointing.
I have never. I have not
Even stock they're responsive and have good midrange torque. Love these platforms to death
@@taylon5200 Actually I've driven two cars. A 350z convertible and my aunts Maxima. Although they aren't the exaxt same VQ, it was still okay, even with the CVT. I would get a Maxima and manual swap it. The CVT kills the performance on these cars honestly.
@@lordoftherims436 I definitely recommend that you do.
I just got an infiniti with a vq37 it's so much fun to drive
Love all the nissan/infiniti VQ content! Keep it coming! All VQs are special in my eyes but the second gen G35 and G37 are my favorite.
Same I prefer the V36 over V35 but still cool
@@e46m54nissansr20937 yeah the V36 build quality is definitely superior in every way but the V35 was my first love when I was a kid. I would love a super clean 05-07 Revup 6mt.
BeauwiththeG Ya I had a DE G35 very comfortable cushy seats but the V36 is light years ahead. Even today the V36 build quality is considered decent. V36 just feels more solid and more refined all around handling everything but still has that soul.
@@e46m54nissansr20937 Yessir exactly. I have an 08 G35X and even at almost 150k miles it still feels super solid and has been very reliable. People lump the Gs in with the poor quality of nissan econo boxes and it's just not right. These things are right on the heels of Toyota and lexus quality.
BeauwiththeG I agree I have an 07 G35S sedan.186k miles. Going strong
Nice, another G Coupe! The 350z might be a little more fun but this car is timeless. Can't wait to get mine running again soon with some gucci parts
Im digging that Shonuff sticker!
And the G35 too😁🔥
Dope video . My G makes 285whp on E85 NA without headers . It’s cool to see a loganville , ga shop on the channel since that’s where I grew up . I knew all the roads lol .
I really enjoy when you do VQ reviews 🤪💯❤
Lovinggg the VQ content lately
Amazing review, and a lot of single turbo v6 cars have that crazy sound
Thank you for showing some love for the G's
Sweet build I'm excited had my 06 g35 coupe for about a year now looking at some mods soon
Those Michelin PS4S tires are magical. I have them on my C63S and it’s like I have AWD compared to the Michelin Supersports it came with. It just hooks now which isn’t something rear wheel drive AMGs tend to do haha
Had a G35 for a decade and recently switch to a 2020 nismo 370. I honestly still miss the G sometimes.
I'm actually swapping 370 rear axles/wheel bearings into my 05 G Sedan 6spd. Rear diff will be next, once I save and decide if I want the Nismo gearing or not.
350/370z were and are turds
Enjoying all these Vq Video reviews 👌🔥
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.
Well I bought and track an 09 Maxima so I'm a little obligated to say it but really G37 coupes are the best IMO, for those who don't know a G37 / G35 coupe is actually a stretched 370Z/350Z underneath not a coupe version of the sedan. Keep up the good work David!
I have a 11 G37x sedan just got it but def will have a build coming !
Way cool. I love how the feel of the reviews have been more like your earlier content. "Average joe" builds that people like me can watch and go I can do that. Keep up the rad videos david. 🤘🏻
A friend of mine in high school had a old 90s maxima and I was the ultimate sleeper back in the day. No one knew what kind of power those cars were harnessing 😁
I had a 93. That car was insane. I didn't even know it required premium fuel 🤣
💯 Agree, same here; Garrett’s GTX GenII turbos are the best around.
That's like saying current phone is best lol. G series then next year a better will be out and so on
@@FATmenDRIVEtrucks I agree. Borg Warner EFR turbos and Garrett GTX turbos are the equivalent of Android and Apple.
@@joshc9846 yup competition is great don't get me wrong. Turbo/tuning has come the farthest in the go fast scene. That with more factory engines handling the abuse and fueling e85 available most areas cheap
Would like to know which Garrett GTX Gen 2 he's specifically using. 5533R?
This thing looks exactly like something I would create on Forza back in the day 😄👍
I'm on my second G, had a G35x sedan and now G37X coupe and love both. Bolt ons and tunes, neither are boosted yet. But, I did have one of the obnoxiously large Auto Meter tachs that Auto Zone sold on my second WRX lol
Hey David, any idea on his wheel and tire specs? I own a G35 and I’m looking for something similar. Thank you!
Starts to rain. "good thing we have Michelin tires", than proceeds to check seatbelt lol. Love the G35 would love to have one as a project one day.
where did he get the piping? looking to build my own turbo set up on a DE, but can’t find any reliable turbo piping.
I'm a die-hard infiniti fan. I have a G35. And I love it.
Yes I have a g coupe and I sneak away from my girl at night just to drive smh it’s a 6 speed coupe I’ve done so much to it and it’s my favorite car ever I slapped on a Invidia exhaust plenum spacer ect it’s a dope car I hope to turbo some day
I literally built this car on Gran Turismo 5 back in the day same color, hood, and performance wtf 😱
We have tons of these cars in CA and they are awesome!
The sound of a boosted VQ is what keeps me pouring money into my G37s coupe. I just wanna save enough money so that one day when it’s considered a classic I can daily a boosted G. I’ll probably topgunz top mounted supercharge it for reliability because I don’t track the car. Turbo VQ’s sound better but that doesn’t mean SC VQ’s sound bad✅✅✅
I just have to add that if you want a deep sounding vicious sound out of a vq, NEVER GO SINGLE EXIT. NEVER! Always go dual, and if you want top of the line, Motordyne with art pipes, there is literally no competition besides full custom exhaust. The motordyne sound makes EVERY single exit sound like some exhaust leaking 90’s civic. i WILL die on this hill, PROVE ME WRONG LMAO.
Is there anyway I know it’s a long shot, that you know the exact GTX turbo kit? Or a link to EDs build cause this is my genuine dream build with my G35 thank you brotha!
I had Michelin PS4S tires on my mostly stock 350Z, and yes cornering is a thing that it can do well.
I would definitely recommend a high grip Z for canyon driving 👍
What wheels and tire set up are you running ? They are very sweet looking .What are the fitment sizes ?
Question I am getting some staggered ferrada 20's 10.5 in the back and 8.5 in the front will the fenders rub I wonder 🤔 and 2006 g35 4life
That is a classy car! What is the best site / channel that supports VQ35DE FWD performance ie. Maxima?
For anyone wondering, most single turbo vqs sound like that because the runners from the headers to the turbo are unequal length, unless it’s a setup like the bp kit where it’s equal, or a custom kit made evenly
Boosted vq with equal length runners >
If you ever make it to Maine, ive got a fun car for you to drive. Not crazy crazy power wise but hangs with fast cars. It's a yellow c6 mallet hammer, manual corvette. It's boosted (procharger) ect. Hits instantly, blast to drive and sounds gnarly in high rpms. Right now it makes over 720 to the wheels on the dyno, not crazy numbers but in butt dyno numbers it feels faster haha
turbo'd VQ's kiiiiiiind of sound like a FBO VR30 if you close your eyes and just listen. not really, but sort of
other than that, what a gorgeous build!
That g37x sedan was nasty, would like a similar setup on mine eventually
Duuuuuude the sho’nuff sticker is fucking mint I love The Last Dragon that’s probably thee best modification he’s made to that car
I own a 06 G35 coupe 6mt, all stock execpt exhaust, but it's the funnest car I've driven. Don't have to the fastest to have fun! But I plan on doing fi build someday.
That intro was sick!
I used to want the G35 so bad! Great build 🔥
Super clean G, HR swapped mine with the plan of having that much power one day
Man he’s gotta change that bumper though. Thing looks jacked
i, for one, absolutely LOVE the trumpet sound but i understand how it could be too much and annoying 😂
even though the engine has been around for a while, i can’t wait to see what people can do with their 400z’s. going to be an amazing platform for sure.
Wait... Is there going to be a VQ in the 400z? If he said that I haven't finished the video. I guess I can Google it.. Dumb if it's true.
@@danielnelson4881 no sorry i didn’t mean the VQ i just meant the way the g35 and 350z offered two sporty platforms for over 10 years and people have done amazing things with their builds, i’m now excited for the future with the 400z
@@soundbyjacob Ooh. Well count me in on that excitement too! I remembered after I made this comment, didn't I hear that the 400z engine was the same one in an infinity SUV now? Or was that speculation... I can't remember.
@@danielnelson4881 it’s the twin turbo 3.0 v6 from the q50 i believe
@@danielnelson4881 it is a vq and it's not dumb maybe you are
Just got done polishing my Z and see this. Gotta get my radiator installed on my day off and then I’ll be back (also need power steering but don’t NEED it) have a good day David!
Check for leakes first plug bottom and fill ive driven ppls g35s overheating over those
Loganville!!! I live in Ga I’m looking for a good tuner might have to look into them.
I have a 2004 G35 coupe manual transmission with only 30k miles on it. Single driver (me) Never driven in the winter. What do you suggest I do to it now that I am retired ?
Great vid! Can’t wait to get my Z completed.
That front bumper looks so familiar odd yet cool
Of your ever thinking about a skyline 350gt or g35 V35 ..I say go for it. It's a long road but so cool. I've spent alot on completely saving my imported 350gt even manual converted it to a brand new imported cd00A. Wouldn't change it for the world .....p.s handbrake assembly cables are so rare as they have Been discontinued for over ten years lol
So funny that I start seeing all the g35 videos 2 weeks after I buy one, 😅
I love these cars. I worked on one when I was like 20 and I instantly fell in love. Great vid dude in blue.
I wonder how much the build was cause i got qoute for a built vqde motor for my g35 coupe and it was around 15k
Loved the video, my 03 maxima is in the works to be boosted.
Will you do another just like it same color even? :( i want to be this review.... different turbo kit n engine build
The official car of Italian Frat guys wearing North face jackets in New Jersey 😂 - Gary
Let me tell you how much I love the element shirt LOL. Used to have a G35 ... coupe .... and wore element shirts hahaha and volcom!
I need to order some of your products and see what it can do to a truck laid out to the pasture and show the before and after.
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was goin to b good
Since you're in Georgia you should check out demon Motorsports in outside of Savannah. I rented an Alfa Romeo quadrifoglio Julia from them on turo that had something like 700 to the wheels. Demon Motorsports is known for their hemi builds, They have the record for the fastest half mile trackhawk making 2000 horsepower. Highly recommend doing one of their videos Love your stuff
Love the review. G35 love is real.
My favorite VQs: Original DE and HR, honorable mention 09+ DE with DE bottom end and basic HR heads but must have 6 speed no CVT
Can u tell me the main differences between all of them. Cuz I have no idea 😂
Roy Mendoza here ya go: dustrunnersauto.com/vq35de-vs-vq35hr/
When I had my 2006 g35 sedan for a daily it was the most comfortable car I have owned. The seats were amazing.
Had a red coupe in 2014 miss it to this day
Hey David, would you want to review my FBO E85 MK7 GTI? Its got lots of nice aesthetic mods too. Would love to hear from you. Thanks!
I had one of those Autometer monster Tachs from Auto Zone lol But it was also in an 04' STi..
Dude you make great content
Stock looking? But why does that front bumper look like it is straight off a Saturn Ion Redline?
I would love to see a build sheet. I was thinking about swapping an hr
Not worth swapping from DE to HR, you can LS of 2jz for the same price
....but at the same time it would be far more interesting than yet another JZ or LS!
just buy a newer one with an hr tbh, it will be way easier and might even end up cheaper than swapping an hr in
@@Cher007 How? It'll just be a side-grade for that price. You'll be better finding a more unique swap for that cost.
Find a salvage g37 and swap the parts over
I wanted a G35 for soooo long back in high school. Ever since I saw a black one driving on a highway, and the car seemed to vanish in between streetlights. Cool to see one as fleshed out as this.
Question, was the turbo kit custom made or did he purchase a single turbo kit?
The 400z doesn’t have nightmares it gives them it’s the only “premium” Japanese sports car right now
And the car looks like absolute shit.

@@twitchingwithrage4683 g35 is even more shit 🤡
@@michaels4640 it is. But you can’t sit there and say the 400z is a pretty car cuz it looks like absolute shit.
I like them all? And I know where you are coming from with the straight pipe VQ. But for some reason as much as I love to hate it I still love it too...
Man the rain 🌧 really wanted to test to Michelin tires
The G35, I love em so much I actually went out and got me one
To me the a turbo vq sounds like a gt3 and like a bit older 911 turbo like a 997 or a 996 like it screams but it still has a deep rumble to it
damn thats crazy that with a de he was able to make 600 before building the motor. I'd have to see those numbers
Love my g35 couple been almost 3 years , my maxima was quickk!7 years still alive, my g35x like the sports couch so comfy
So when you say original motor I’m assuming you mean the de rev up since this is an 06 model and above
I was wondering if you could make a intro with a rock track something with guitar I heard you played
