- A completely loaded Ford Focus and an Infiniti that's just a Maxima underneath? That's what I just bought for $800... but neither are in great shape and one only wants to drive in reverse.

finally, back to the roots of the channel.
@17:20 😂😂 Gabe says “watch JR throw” JohnRoss doesn’t even flinch at his comedic genius
Holy smokes an I35! I had one back in the day. It was a 2004; blue outside but the same tan interior you have on this one. I put 160k miles on mine before moving on, but it was an absolutely wonderful car. It really was a Maxima in a tux (for its time anyway), and it made both daily drives and cross country road trips effortless. And even at well over 100k miles, that Nissan VQ v6 would still throw you back if you floored it.
One tip though: Be wary of the in-dash 6disc changer. It was notorious for glitching out and just permanently skipping no matter what you put in there. Back in the day Nissan was warranty-ing them like crazy after a few years, and ofc the hardware vendor who built them was like "oops our bad".
I almost bought one a couple years ago... im in the rust belt so when i found one with little to no rust i was so excited. Black over tan interior.. i wish i had picked it up! always liked the style of these fancy maxima's
It might have been a good thing where my dad's maxima had an aftermarket clarion one.
I35 ! Had one back in the day would beat 2002 mustang gt’s! Sleeper for sure
This one has aftermarket headlights
Also, my old QX4 had the brake light issue. It's the little plastic piece in the pedal that hits the switch - once it's fallen out, the lights are always on. Another annoying side effect of this is the cruise control is tied into that switch - basically if the light is on, cruise control thinks you are breaking and turns itself off.
The brake light issue is a common problem with late 90s early 2000s infinitis its a little grommet on the brake pedal that makes contact with the brake switch
I stands for Gabe having to purchase the infinity from Jr after his current ride spontaneously combusts😂
52 seconds ago? Good lord. Hope you're having a great year so far JR. Haven't watched as much as I'd like to recently, but always glad to just hop in and see the trouble you've gotten yourself into. Keep doing what you're great at!
ah wait, that's the same exact focus I have, lets gooo
I think we need a cruise control in reverse functionality test
let me tell you something
Let Me Tell You Something!
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!
The something:
"thats what the "i" stands for" 😅😂😂
😂
The gas door locks if the key is out of the ignition and also that's the same color as my Infiniti G35 inside and out. You'll never guess what they call the colors so I'll tell you. Exterior Diamond Graphite interior Willow.
Tree fitty. The ol' Loch Ness Monster🤣 Great South Park quote
You gave him tree fity
Woman do not give that loch Ness monster tree fiddy.😂
I was wondering when you would notice the brake lights were stuck on lol
@6:55 "I dare you" "What? Full Send?"
Why you tempt me like that Gabe?! I wanted to watch that instead of the slow creep off the trailer lol
I wanted to also!😂
400,000 Sub’s is absolutely amazing! I remember the beginning! Wow what a trip! Love what your doing it is awesome to see how reliable/Consistent with the Videos! Thanks for everything!
JR, check the brake pedal lever for a little black plastic button that probably isn't there. They dry-rot and shatter, and the brake switch plunger stays extended.
If it is the same setup as the G37 I had, the brake lights stay on - and the ECU thinks the brakes are on, and puts the car in 'limp-home' mode. Which may explain why it runs fine in reverse, but not great forward.
@watchjrgo Id love to buy the infiniti from you. I had an 01 i35 that was stolen and totaled. I loved that car
A clear usb charger? Someone bring it from prison?
These pre-CVT Maximas and I3x's were popular "beaters" in Chicagoland in 2010's, til rust got them. Same with Quest vans, pre-2004.
Is Gabe on vacation? or kicked out of the house.? enjoy seeing him on the channel.
Yes to all?
The stopper for the brake switch has probably come loose.
You guys should have been listening to hypnotize while reversing
thats what the I stands for in Infiniti
That joke got old quick lol. Dudes the most unfunny person lol 😂
@@cppctek Yep, that was tedious.
I thought it was Infinite Crap
Jr needs to just let Gabe go
team gabe all the way.. keep the jokes coming
It must be the law that every abandoned car has dried pine needles around the windshield and back window 😄
The I30/I35 were the Euro-Maxima.
Fix something to fix something is like Hank Hill using a small WD40 to open another WD40 bottle cap
That will forever be the standard in comedy!!!
Looks like the I's have it!
That Focus looks pretty well optioned honestly.
My mechanic lent me an old Maxima while I was getting an oil change/tire rotation this morning. It's hilarious how little they changed for the infinity. This was a loaded model, so the same sound system, HVAC controls, pretty much everything. It had 290k on it, still ran great, first gear was a bit rough if you accelerated hard from a stop, but shifted through all of the gears.
Do first aid kits in German cars still include suicide pills?
Lol what car do you have
@@CACar_Nation Probably a BMW
Can't say about the pills, but pretty sure they come with the CD of the hit song
"L'Armour toujours"! 😂
Seeing how Infiniti is not German….
I'm sure your mother is proud of you. Sorry if a slightly more broad question is too complicated
I had the 2002 Maxima SE version of that I35. that 4speed auto killed it. Had a buddy with the 6sp manual Maxima... it was sexy 6.5s 0 to 60... a poor man's Bimmer until the G35s took over.
Put Trump in prison 2024
The Infiniti DOES have brakes lights.. they're stuck ON.
What you can't see is your side markers.
I sold my 98 i30t back last august with 250k miles for $2k and an hour later bought the same color i35 you have with 148k miles for $700 bucks. Only thing it needed was a alternator and a battery and he had a brand new $300 alternator in the trunk. Got it towed home threw in the new alternator and a new battery and it runs like its brand new
You buy 2 cars for $800... poor Hoovie loosing $10,000 per car. I agree with your plan better.
The rear brakes on these models would always lock up because of the calipers. Probably just needs rear calipers pads and rotors. Be good as new. I had 2000 maxima, loved that car until some highschool teenager tboned it one morning when they were rushing to school.
All your videos with Gabe in them are must see!😀
Probably both should have been crushed, but maybe make a little money if you get them going. I doubt either lasts beyond summer without stranding the future owner.
I had a friend that only had reverse, we drove it home backwards for a few miles. Our question was when you cone to an intersection with a stop sign which side of the intersection do you stop at?? :)
Davis David Perez Timothy Rodriguez Christopher
on the Infiniti, hit the lock 4 times on the fob... some had a factory remote start.
and also try hit unlock and hold for 10sec... should roll down all 4 windows.
Hey John Ross! This video brought back all the feels. I had an I30 back in the day, black on black with gold emblems… bought new for $30k! Great times in that car.
Turn the fuckus er focus into a rally car!!! (This is sarcasm. Ford really went cheap on the Focus.)
I literally almost bought and Infinity I35 for my son's 1st car today lol. It was in pristine condition too. I had a Maxima back int the day and I loved both of them. Also if I am not mistaken the I35 has and LSD too...
Also pretty sure that has an antitheft system with a light you were talking about. If you break the window or reach in and unlock the door from the inside when the doors have been locked using the fob it will set off the alarm.
Any plans to paint the exterior of the shop any time soon?
Hey
🥇 boom!
I had a 2002 I35. It was a wonderful commuter car. I traded it at 120000 miles, and regretted it 😂
I had that same exact car bought it with 130,000 Mi on it and ran it till $300 and still sold it for a thousand bucks
2 cars for $800? What a deal! Yoù can’t go wrong. At worst you can part them out.
Lol people think parting out cars is easy. Less than 10% of people that message you actually show up, and not that many people are actually out there fixing cars to begin with. I was going to part out a car once, sold 2 parts for like $40, then I ended up giving the car away
We only sell on eBay 🍻
Gabe is a gem! Brings the silliness out of John Ross.
I Would like know how much you're gonna sell that four when you get it Fixed
Use Poppy’s Clear Coat on the Infiniti! It’s a great candidate 🤩
The brake sensor thing can be fixed with a penny i think if you havent fixed it yet. You glue a penny in where the sensor engages when brakes are let off
A lot of nissans have a little plastic puck to hit the brake switch. I've replaced a couple with the cheap white plastic sliders for chairs.
Hmu if you need a transmission for the I35. I have one from an 02 Maxima.
those bags that dessicate after a year or two are biodegradable and supposed to do that, but those fragments are pretty much for life
Hey
🥉 hey Ryan!
The focus is good enough for a derby car. You can sell it for $500 easy
That Infiniti looks just like the Maxima sold in Europe.
Probably because they are one in the same. Also Europe's Honda Accord is the Acura TSX in the United States.
Our Australian A33 was very similar too. 👍👍
It was also called the Nissan Cefiro in Japan. It shares a lot with the Maxima in top GLE trim
If you scrap the focus let me buy the drivetrain. I want to swap it into my escort
Speed limit for reverse is regular speedlimit reversed... good stuff.
That's just a fancy fwd 😅cefiro or maxina
Well it's only fare, hope one of them goes forward, maybe you can tie them together and and have forward and reverse😉
Need some DJ magic Mike and the royal posse to check out that system.
Introducing the new Nissan badge, Reversenfreversenreversetreverse.
Same as nissan maxima with some added features. I had the maxima se version of that. Making me wish i had it again.
Love this sorta content!!
At least the Focus is the pre-Dual Clutch version!
Reset the sunroof takes 2 secson the Infiniti and I have a 02 Maxima with a mint cloth interior and a lsd 6 speed transmission and a trashed engine I will let you have for $250 in Cincinnati. If you’re interested I will email you pics and videos.
255 hp and six speed lsd 3000 curb weight makes these cars a little rocket. eBay turbo makes it a missile.
As much as he wants to be done with junk cars - JR is a moth to a flame with them.
Its just a A32 nissan maxima/cefiro 😂😂
You crazy kids
Like that movie "DC Cab". Theres a scene where one of the driver's cab is stuck in reverse and someone yells at him and he says "I'm 'bringing' it to the shop" as opposed to "taking it". Since he was going backwards. lol
Bro, if I had a trailer I would be getting into all sorts of sh*t
Driving like Sonny from A Bronx Tale
Ferris! The miles aren't coming off going in reverse.
I always recommended the I30/35 to people looking for a cheap car in the 2010s since they're almost as good as a Camry/Accord but way better and just as cheap as an Altima.
Yep had a 2000 Nissan Maxima GLE back in the day and the best things about it were the comfort, smooth quiet engine (VQ30) and freezing cold AC.
Score...car needs a wrap ditch the focus
Another previous I-35 owner. I bought it 3 years old with 10K miles, sold 6 years later with 220K on it. The only things that broke are the radiator and a taillight bulb. One of the better cars I owned for a long commute.
I had a friend in highschool with a clean (one owner parents car) low mile infiniti i30. The plastic fan broke inside so it would heat up. Instead of just fixing the fan he sent it to the junkyard... Not the sharpest tool in the shed.
The brake lights stuck on is super easy to fix. The brake switch tip breaks easily and then it's on by default (it's above and the pedal being up contacts it). Probably what killed your battery too. I fixed ours with a trim clip from another car that I jammed into the switch to give it a new "pin" and the brake pedal hit it.
I had an issue with my old Tacoma where the brakes would only lock in reverse. Turns out a caliper bolt worked itself loose (no idea how, never seen this before) and was missing, When you put it in reverse, it would pull the caliper up and engage the rotor. Moving forward, it would push it down and disengage. Weird but easily fixable, at least.
I love it when you get the piece of shit cars!
When you said, "It only has reverse," my first thought was "HEY, VICTOR!"
Need to pull the back set out to see what under it
Car running? Check. Garage door closed? Check. Can't imagine anything bad happening.
@@kwajtube it’s insane that you think a car could fill a shop this big with exhaust… it would have to run for a full hour.
@@WatchJRGo (dad mode on) whether or not you fill up the garage with enough corbon monoxide to kill someone quickly isn't the issue - car exhaust is toxic, and you shouldn't expose your lungs to anymore of it than necessary, same as second-hand smoke, same as asbestos; also why there is an OSHA reg (1910.134) about resperitory protection. Will that amount of exhaust kill you today? Obviously no. Will it cause minor amounts of damage to your lungs that eventually impacts your health, especially when you're older? Guranteed yes.
From exotics to scrap dealer🙈
When Gabe is on vacation from his job he spends all his time with JohnRoss
The I stands for it is under the ds armrest. The only time I recall knowing something vaguely useful whilst watching the frugalmeisters at it again.
Just spray some WD 40 on the RR ROTOR and it will clean right up…🤔😋🤪😜
Not a big fan of gabe, if he’s on a video I don’t watch, just saying.
I’m not a big fan of him either, lately. Definitely forcing a smile and trying too hard.
You wanna sell that i35 hmu
Whatever miles we put on, we'll take off driving backwards.
Gabe has mark norman jokes lol
I had one of those first generation Focus 4 door hatchback. Great little car that i got rid of because the body was falling apart but the engine was still going strong.
Hey, sometimes that gen of maxima loses the sunroof memory, if you press the other button that operates the tilt, itll actually move back a little bit each time you press it till its full open. Then when you move the slider back to closed itll close. Mine and my brother's car have the same sunroof memory trouble lol.
Hey JR what are you driving daily right now?
The F250 💯
Who likes Bose systems. 🤣
Bulletproof I35
