This happened to me 👎🏻 . Bought my first g35 and when I first got it , it broke down right away on me . Unfortunately it was my only vehicle that I had at the time and being a parent and also working full time I had to do what I had to do to fix the car so I was able to drive it . I was 23 at the time . Not knowing anything about cars , i watched lots of RUclips videos to figure out how to fix the problem and I ended up fixing it in the middle of a snowstorm . Took me 3 days to fix the car and the worst part of it was not having the right tools to do the job and the knowledge so it took longer to fix but when it was fixed , that car brought so much joy . 1 month later I was driving my daughter back to her moms and ended up getting Rod knock 💔 . Instead of getting rid of the car like everyone else would I decided to start building it . 2 years later I manual swapped it and still trying to finish the last of the project .
Dang that's crazy I had a similar story with my 2006 altima the transmission went out on it and I struggled for months to get it fixed getting ripped off by multiple mechanics that's why I decided to work on cars myself I'm glad your still moving forward though
hey buddy! actually came across this because it’s happening to me right now. 17. just sold my truck and bought a G35 and there was oil issues and i got rod knock within 48 hours. wondering what you had to do to fix yours, assuming it’s full engine swap, or if it’s possible to repair the engine after it was ran without oil. let me know!
@@syxfn8102 hey bro ! Sucks to hear that happened to you as well , unfortunately you will have to get a new motor for the car . Theirs ways to fix it if it isn’t that bad but to save the headache and $$$ the best way personally I think is to replace the whole motor. It would be a plug n play kinda thing unless you’re trying to manual swap the car then it’ll take you longer but unfortunately once you get Rod knock theirs almost a 90% chance that you will not fix it (unless it’s coming from the top of the engine then theirs hope)
The G35 on my PFP the first week I had it the transmission blew out, I was tired of waiting and getting people quoting me like 1500$ on every shop, so I bought 200$ 6 ton jacks, borrowed a few tools and changed the transmission in 16 hours👍👍
My 05 G35, 6SpMT, Sport Suspension, Areo, that has been cared for runs like new. You perform the preventative maintenance and they should easily last 200K miles or more. Unfortunately too many G's have been Riced & Raced to hell and back. These will require plenty of ca$h to make them reliable again.
I had that happen 2 weeks after I got my Matrix XRS. I got it at TOOO good of a price, I shoulda known. Did a JDM 2ZZ-GE swap, new clutch, water pump, gaskets etc. Basically, keeping it till the wheels fall off.
Wow!! You will definitely recoup the money you spent by a factor or at least 2.5X The parts are worth a lot of money. Especially the Coils. I have a 2007 G35 coupe 6MT with 192,000. Only thing I have ever had go wrong was the Oxygen sensor. Great cars when taken care of.
love my 07 Coupe 5AMT. i got lucky and i’m the second owner, garage kept and maintained every 15k miles. the only thing i had issues i’ve had is like cracked cooling pipes, the weather stripping in the doors and shit is kinda dry and cracked
@@presidential3228 that is exactly what he bought dude. He got it for 2500 and it was a complete shit box. He put a lot of time into his car and I like it
lmao, I like that some people are thinking you were going to rebuild it or something, This is a spend money make money situation, that G35 was ratty and parting it out was honestly the best favor it deserved lol. Engine bay was dusty, looked neglected, and it had close to 200K, its best to lay her to rest for good my man, you did the right thing lol
Damn, that was me a few weeks ago. Bought a 85 Monte Carlo and the engine seized on me on the way to my mechanic. Now I'm in a predicament of getting a new (used) engine or try to rebuild and replace parts on the current engine...
That’s awesome dude! Keep up the grind! It would of been dope to see an engine swap on this thing though. Love the look of the G35 coupes once they’re put together
I did buy 2003 g35 1 owner had all records of any repairs and all oil changes,I was bit Leary at first though. But 2000 couldn't see where I would go wrong car is super clean, runs good,looks good fun to drive,when I drive it but would not have bought with knocking rod
When looking to own one these always make sure you do your own car fax spend the 25 bucks get the info they are great cars but unfortunately people beat the hell out of these things
I just bought a g 35 o5 auto , tho but the inside was like new . No rips at all on seats. Only cons is car is way to low . Bumps scrap the bottom of the car and due to that, theirs a leak on the y pipe by both flex pipes. The cats are still good but scrap as well. No light beside the air bag on drive seat flashes. And need upper control arms. I got it 4800 here in California. Hope I didn't get myself into other mess. What you guys think worth or sell
@@g35s 05 infinity G35 coupe 133256 miles automatic . Paint is great . Inside is 9 out of 10 no rips . Only light on is driver airbag blicks. It's low because it's on tein coilovers basic . And it has a annoy spec d tuning exhaust .con is the upper control arm. When turning a hard right it makes a noise around the wheels .and the air blowing out from the flex pipe part of the y pipe . That's all I see . I put Scanner and nothing pops up. So was it a good buy

Great vid bro ...wish i was gifted as you and have the time for this . I also have G35 2005 sitting in my driveway . Everything works very well . Motor has 110,000 miles but the roof of the car is caved in a bit glass everywhere so its undrivable . The parts i need are non existent
Thank you for the support! Yeah unfortunately once the roof is compromised it's basically a no go unless you want to pay top dollar and take it to a frame shop to fix it. You can post it for parts and have people remove the parts. Or it can be also a good learning experience to try to pull some of the parts yourself
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Thank you for your prompt response. I will follow your advise . Sadly its one less G35 on the road but, if it resurrect other G's im for it . I guy quoted me $8000 for the work . I bought that car for $3000...so yeah . Congrats to you and your very informative videos .
HEY! I have a White 2003 G35 Coupe with the SAME PROBLEM! So I am parting it out as well. I live in Memphis,TN , if anybody needs/wants any parts HIT ME UP!!! I will send pictures

quick question, i own a 03 g35, and every time i get done driving the engine makes this weird ass rattling noise, it’s a manual too, i’m assuming it can be the clutch bcz i did teach myself in tht car but can anybody give me any pointers on wht could it be?
You crazy to junk that car with a clean title don't make the mistake. I got two couple and sedan I'm holding on to both rebuild the sedan engine wasn't that much either to do it easy motor to rebuild
Rebuilt engines don't last long I'm my opinion unless your a professional and have years of experience I don't recommend it. I made 4200 dollars parting it out and I still have the doors and the 4 brembos and rotors and interior parts. if I were to install a engine it would of marked up the price of my investment. I paid 1500 for it a replacement engine ranges 1000-1800 so lets say 3000 plus time to install the engine. I sell the car for 5500 or 6000 on a good day but I doubt it.. so I would make maybe 2000 to 3000 profit best case... not worth it
@@MrSnakedoctor85 because it takes a lot of knowledge to rebuild the engine to the factory recommended specs. You have to take the motor apart and take it to a machine shop to deck, hone and check for cracks or warps, that means you’re putting a lot of trust into someone else to do the quality work to factory specs and you need to have the right tools and knowledge to double check the work they did. If they half assed it then you’re screwed. That’s only the first part of the rebuild lol the second part is assembling the internals to factory torque settings, making sure the torque wrench is actually torquing to properly and not out of adjustments, there’s so much that can go wrong.
