It's always nice to meet other G drivers! The music on these cars is a little difficult not going to lie. It took me some time but I wired up a bluetooth receiver into the center armrest RCA jacks.
@@importlife3307 I gutted it and put kickers in the doors/rear window with jl 2x10 sub in the trunk, 2 amps under the seats running about 1000 watts rms...and I'm 42 lmao. Great video and all truth bro!
I’ve owned an 07 g35 sedan for about 8 years now, and it’s just as fun now than what it was when I first drove it! I’ve had a small dim on the rpm dash but it can be over looked. Great idea for the Bluetooth on the rca!
Lol wtf "it doesnt burn oil" not only does it burn oil (because its a high revolution engine) but worse the 07' 08' were made with cheap paper gaskets that fail and leak engine oil. Their also notorious for sensors failing like the vvt solenoid. Guys this guy is a total amatuer please do your reaearch. 🤦
Thanks for the great video. I have a 2008 G35 Sedan, Base model. Love the Car. Mine does burn a light amount of oil, I don't have to top it off as long as I get my oil changed every 5k Miles. My 2 complaints which are minor is the lights on the gauge cluster, digital clock and the O2 Sensor due to cat issues.
One of my major complaints is that there is no headlight indicator. Not sure if it's a problem with my car or not (08 G35). Another smaller complaint is the dash lights fading and there is no digital clock in the car (i'm spoiled with digital clocks)
@@angelescobar8989 gave up on it for the time being. About to go travel the world for a couple of months. When I get back from that just going to put a whole new exhaust system on it. Previously replaced one of the cats and the other o2 sensor went meaning it's the other car now.
U won't regret it if u got one there very reliable I have owned 3 .my first one I drove I bought at 103k to 165k 6years only issues besides oil was rear brake caliper leaked n cost 45bucks for new caliper at the time.
I have 96 hatchback b20 turbo an that thing hits 100 on 3rd gear shit moves. My cts 3.6 also be kickin ass. Crazy cause ima buy this to all my shits move lmao
i have a 2013 g37x and i fucking wish everyone would try and race me lmao. i haven’t had a single person pull up next to me yet on the road trying to race and i’ve had it for almost a year now
Been looking for a manual. But auto is my only option in my area... it’s an 06. I’m excited but nervous lol hopefully it isn’t too much with the maintenance. Had an 04 350z but someone totaled it... hopefully the g makes up for it.
Yeah our first G was an 08 G35x and after that we needed another vehicle so I was shopping for an 09 g37 but found another 08 G35 sport 6mt for $10,000 with 90,000miles, unmolested well taken care of black with black leather interior. Had to jump on it. Any way the value of it is going up while our other one is depreciati g. The 6mt is so hard to find in the HR/VHR sedans. Imo it's perfect combo. I love our awd but with the 6mt and vlsd ( even though it only works as a lsd untill the fluid gets to hot and acts like an open dif) makes it a totally different experience. Only complaint is the clutch is by far the most numb feeling clutch iv ever driven. It will make you feel like you don't wtf your doing. Hard to drive smoothly in town. Use to drive a dump truck that was easier to drive smooth. Now for racing its alright. I already bought new z1 clutch and lightweight flywheel with z speed heavy duty CSC just need to install it. Heard it makes a big difference with clutch feel even with the lightweight flywheel. Also have ISR lth, invidia q300 cbe, z1 cai waiting to go on as well. Just need to get the uprev software/cable and IL be ready to put it all on.
Took me awhile to find the spec I have, and it’s the only one I wanted. Pewter, manual, black leather sedan. Had to drive over an hour one way to pick it up. Worth it though, such a fun daily.
@@calebwright2849 it’s the dual mass flywheel and the clutch pedal. Swap it for the solid flywheel and an RJM clutch pedal and it’s a completely different car.
I bought an all black G37S 6MT Sedan last week and I didn’t realize the interior headliner was tan/beige instead of black. I noticed it while driving home from the previous owner’s house and now I can’t unsee it. I still love it anyway lol.
Congrats on the car!! Hope your still loving it. You should make a video of what it takes to switch out the headliner that would be pretty cool. I'm sure people would love to watch that too because headliners tend to get beat up after a while. Really freshens the interior up.
I have an 03 first gen G35 sedan. This car was a ton of fun. There were no major problems till it hit 230k. I'm considering getting an 08 G35 sedan. What to do with my 03 G? Get a used motor or having mine rebuilt?
When I was 17 I got my 07 g35x from my dad's close friend. It was very well taken care of, but the first thing I had to do was replace the climate control module and that got rid of the check engine light. Also another thing to keep in mind, the 07 and newer Gs are pretty advanced, for example, it has dual throttle body and dual fuel pumps, and I suppose a neglected G could cause you a lot of problems. Overall the car is not hard to work on but please make sure you properly inspect the car before buying one, as for speed and power, the car has over 300 hp and for a sedan like this that's a lot quicker than most cars on the street, so be careful. Since this is your first car, don't be tempted to go fast, it is very easy to do so in this car. Obviously, i'm not saying you can't have fun, but don't make it a habit because running into the cops can have a serious effect on your driving record and insurance. That being said, having a quick car can get you out of some sticky situations, and the handling of the G is excellent, so if you're careful and not a retarded driver you'll be fine. If i had to complain about one thing, the gas mileage is pretty bad, and make sure you are ONLY using premium gas and change oil every 3k miles.
I would say that it is a lot of upkeep but as long as your willing to put in the wrench time than the G35 is a great car. Definitely quick. As far as being too fast I would say the with the electronic traction control it is fairly stable as long as you dont turn it off. When the traction control is off it can get a little hairy.
@@gallonofpatrick Definitely a good choice. Maybe not as much maintenance as an STI but it will still be a hand full. You'll become very comfortable working in the engine bay within the first year of owning it.
Cluster issues have led many people down the rabbit hole of this is wrong ..oops...no that's wrong...if your fuel gauge reads faulty...or turn signals not showing as on....manumatic mode not working...check your cluster...the dealer will rabbit hole your wallet over this..."oh you need fuel pump sender"..."trans sensor faulty"...etc. when in fact the cluster is part of the CAN network and ties it all together...funny enough...they used crap solder on the cluster that's known to fail....ask me how I know 😂
The worst dipstick ever! Changing the headlights is ridiculous! The worst car that I've ever driven in the snow.Its 98% useless! Good thing that I live in the warmest part of Canada but it's mountainous. It's only got a key lock on the driver's side door and nowhere else.Great for when your key fob doesn't work! Even with the BS I still enjoy driving it.
Im a teen and am wondering how much of a burden the 2 door 5 seats are compared to a regular sedan… obviously i am never going to be in the back, but for friends and family
Let's see both side window motors, drive shaft , wheel bearings , sunroof mechanism, driver window mechanism oh and the radio/air-conditioning panel just crapped out. There should be no slash between radio and air-conditioning panel. Yep I still got it. Got some sick vossen 20's wrapped in Goodyear's. It's just .......well a lemon. I love lemonade don't get me wrong but Everytime I go to the parts counter they tell me to drop my pants and turn around. I don't remember seeing that in the owners manual but it's there or so I've been told. Bertha , I call that fat heavy bitch sits in the driveway until I can afford a build . I know I know I just don't know when to quit. Something about the car I just love.
The engines are very solid the transmissions are not the best but not the worst, the issues with them start around 200k usually and it can cost a lot to fix and maintenance, still good cars tho just wouldn’t suggest buying one with 200k and shouldn’t pay more than 5-7K for any with 150 or more, depending on mods and condition
@@Ahpocalypse thank you for your input, fyi its in good condition, very clean and very minor little scratches scratches here and there. Its a very nice looking car.
@@hiltonsaona7862 they’re pretty reliable cars usually good condition just check for oil leaks, make sure the gas gauge works and get a full service done if u buy on the transmission, engine, timing chain ect
Just got into an accident and the guy ended up totaling my car.. and now I’m looking for another car and interested in the g35 but I can’t buy new... anyone know the mileage I should stay arounf when looking for one.
I'm sorry to hear that. I can't speak for all G35's but for instance mine has nearly 200k miles and still going strong. Definitely has had all the basic maintenance done though.
**WARNING** Please DO NOT buy a Nissan as far as repairs are concerns there worse than bmw's. I bought an 08' G35 sedan 4 months ago and have been constantly throwing parts at it and now it currently wont start and is sitting at the dealership I'm waiting to to see what kinda damage their gonna do to my wallet now..😠🤔
I have a code 0311 saying right wheel speed sensor bad. Car is jerky intermittently and transmission seems confused about which gear to catch. Do you know if those are symptoms of wheel speed sensor.
wheel speed sensors are used for traction control, ABS, and a lot of other systems that the engine and trans monitor so yes it very well could be and you should get them checked.
I own a 07 G35’coupe and a 06 M35 sport w/ premium package. Car has bose surround on the seats, as comfortable to drive as a s class Benz, same engine as G35’coupe. Navigation. Heated/cooled seats. That being said I’d never sell it. Both my g and m have 160k miles. And I can get 7-9 for any one of them in today’s market bought both when new btw.
How reliable are g35s or g37s compared to Hondas/Toyota’s? Can they last 300k miles? At least 200k? I would get a Honda but I really like the more luxury looking interiors of the Infiniti’s and the extra hp acceleration and top speed. It reminds me of a bmw but for cheaper parts and repairs and more reliability. I find the older Infiniti cars to be a happy medium between luxury and price for me. For under $15k I can get a relatively low mileage 2013 Infiniti G37 that looks a lot nicer than a Honda civic or accord, and is a lot faster! Just concerned over reliability. How reliable are they really?
They aren’t as reliable as Toyota or Honda. 300k on a g35/37 may be possible but not without fixing a lot of things. I seem with blown automatic transmission often and some with blown motors because the oil consumption can be high, you have to stay on top of the oil check and top it off often in between oil changes. The oil consumption seems to be really inconsistent between all the g35/37 some can burn a lot of oil while others don’t even burn a drop.
@@dohc1974 is a g35/g37 worth it in the end? I wouldn’t buy a used bmw or Mercedes unless I was rich or made 6 figures a year but are the Infiniti car’s not too expensive to keep running compared to German luxury cars? So far I’m aware parts are cheaper and average maintenance costs are affordable but no one is talking about big repairs or long term ownership costs. I want to go fast without spending 50k over 5 years.
@@TwinSquidzLLC I think you’re still better off with a g35/37 than a German car in terms of reliability, cost of repairs and how often things break. The key is to find a well taken care of g35/37 then stay on top of checking the oil dipstick and topping the oil off in between oil changes if needed, don’t run the motor low on oil or trans. If manual trans than change the oil every 30k miles, if auto trans then make sure the oil is black, if it’s black that means it’s over do and at that point your better off not changing the oil until the tranny blows, also don’t flush trans oil because it will clog all the computers passages and cause the tranny to fail quickly. Just remember, black trans fluid means dont ever change it because it’s too late now, but if the fluid is still red or pink then change it every 30k miles.
@@TwinSquidzLLC auto correct changed my word and made me sound like I’m giving bad advice lol. Black oil in a auto trans is BAD not good, if it’s black that means it’s over do and if changing it, you will most likely destroy the tranny quicker.
@@dohc1974 wow you know your stuff about cars! Thanks for the advice much appreciated! How would you know a g35/37 is well taken care of? What would you specifically check on a g35/g37 besides a typical car inspection? Besides the oil Are there any hidden signs in these cars?
Sorry I'm so late to reply. The 2009 model G37 will have compatible parts to the 07-08 G35. The later G37's will mostly be compatible but after 2009 they aren't exactly the same. They are super similar but have very slight differences especially on the front bumper and headlights.
I average 17 mpg which is a lot worse than my friends cars. Although they aren't nearly as quick and they're often at the repair shop more often. Not once in the 3 years of owning the car I've had a problem
@@limbogt747 over $100, I usually fill at 18-19 gallons $5.70 a gallon. Those are costco prices too. I'm commuting until gas goes down and have enough for an 07 350z with the same hr engine.
@@importlife3307 thanks for the reply man really appreciat it how can I tell what’s wrong eith the car before buying it like any red flags cause people can always say good continue nothing wrong but obviously be lying and I can tell when people are lying but are there any flags to look for
Bruh everything you said is true i own g35 and g37 and none of them have or had consumer oil IF YOUR CAR IS CONSUMING OIL ITS CUZ U DID NOT TAKE CARE OF IT OR IT NEED MAINTENANCE 🤦🏻♂️
3:25 I have a 2008 g35s, an one my favorite things about the car is the import plaque on the engine bay, and all the engine part markings being in Japanese.
So I have an 06 get coupe 6mt which comes with the vq35 de revup engine it's a great enthusiast car however if you have the money buy an 07 or higher so you can get the hr motor which is a much better and more reliable car. The revup vehicle specifically has an issue with the rings that causes oil consumption. Definitely reccomend a g35 the market is insane right now
I have the same car and I've never had that problem. I get about 24 mpg if I drive it normal. It's fun to drive and if you have a heavy foot then you might see the gas station more often.
Hey @@zaychill6105 I’m looking to grab a 2008 as well do you think it’s worth the buy if the check engine light is on? The guy selling the vehicle said it’s his daily driver and it just needs some exhaust work you think that may be why the light is on?
I have the same vehicle just bought and am wondering how one in good running shape starts and drives if someone could send or post video of that pleass
3 года назад
Did you get it? If you did, how is the gas consumption?
Who know ah good place i can buy a good g35 besides fb market & craiglist cus a good one with a de/he motor in a manual with decent mileage is an ass to find😪😅
Just bought a 08 g35 automatic 145k pretty good outside even better inside engine running stronger than my mustang...offer up $3700. they listed it for $4500 but I waited them out until they dropped the price to $4000. After test driving and checking it out 3 times I was able to get it for $3700. I’m in Miami,Fl btw so idk what listings will look like in your area
@@dzevaddizdarevic20 the 05 they fixed their oil consumption issues, the ones who got it the worse were the G/Z’s of 03 and 04. As years went on they slowly started fixing those issues. If you have a G in order to get an HR you have to have an 07-08 sedan
Hey I am looking for a first car and I love the 2 door car so I don’t have to give people a ride but do you think it good for a first car like I go keep up with it just do you think it a good first car
You should look for a 2012 or 2013 G37 if you can find a good one. Nissan fixed a few issues from the 08-11 models. If you can afford it, you should look for a 2014-2015 Q60.
2006-2007 from my understanding and I've own both 2006-2007 G35 Coupe with NO oil consumption problem. I also 2008 G37 coupe, 2010 G37S coupe and 2011 G37S it is Fun, fast and NO oil consumption problem.
