Fun fact: The G35, G37, Q50 and Q60 are actually the next generation of the Skyline family. As a matter of fact, in Japan these models carry on the emblems of Nissan Skyline (G37/Skyline 370GT, G35/ Skyline 350GT, Q60/ Skyline 400R...). So if you had one of these, well, you've just basically owned a Nissan Skyline with the power of a Nissan Z.
Thank you!!! I’m glad people are staring to accept this fact. But, you have to tell them that Gs and Qs are not a GT-R… they are Skylines in Japan. Only difference is LHD vs RHD.
@@Lawrence_McKnight Yes, Im glad that someone just realized that these cars are actually Skylines. However, the 2009-2023 Nissan GTR is NOT a Skyline model. It has been confirmed by Nissan that the new GTR will be a stand alone model so it's basically a Nissan GTR, not a Skyline.
@@ameraboukoura6091 Haha I get what you're saying brother, I used to have the exact same thought like you. I mean I like the Q50 and also 60 but sometimes they kinda look like a Huyndai Genesis to me🤣🤣. But still I do love them as well as the G35 and G37
I have a 2012 Infinity G37 IPL 6MT that I’ve owned for 6 years and absolutely love driving that car. I can never see myself ever getting ride of it!!! Definitely one of the best cars I’ve driven Forsure!
I’m a proud owner of a 2006 G35 manual coupe (350gt Skyline 😏) and it’s good to hear good pub over the street take over G35s giving it a bad wrap. Plus, you short change G35 you’re also shorting the 350Z.
Dont sleep on the Q. The VR30 has been out for awhile now and if you dont follow bonnie & clyde racing or racebox or even Boostnmotion, youre playing yourself. The Gs are amazing for sure, but the VR30 can make 500lb torque easily. It may not be manual anymore (this is why you buy the Z), but the skyline DNA is there. Its still a tuner luxury car and its still great.
I own both an 06 g35 sedan 6mt and a 12 g37 sedan 6mt and they are great vehicles, even though I enjoy my g35 more since it feels more raw and the g37 seems more refined
Personally, I prefer the styling of the ‘06/‘07 G35 Coupe. With the OEM spoiler of course. It has the right amount of angles and it’s the best final refresh before going to the ‘curvier’ G37 in ‘08 which in my opinion, doesn’t look as mean as its predecessor.
I had a G37 IPL with the 3.7, and now have an AWD 2018 Q50. The difference in handling was huge. The G37 was lighter and much more nimble. Sooooo I replaced the dampers on my Q with RS-R DDS compatible coilovers, along with an aftermarket rear anti swaybar which helped a LOT. THEN larger heat exchanger, front and rear LSD's, Level 10 transmission upgrade, Pure stage 2 turbos, larger injectors, High flow cats, CBE, and higher volume fuel pumps. I "IPL-ed" my Q50. The G37IPL came just fine from the factory. A supercharger might have been an option for more power, but I was pretty pleased with it in the OEM IPL trim. I did end up getting a 800 HP GTR. I should have kept my Q50 stock in hindsight, and gotten the GT-R sooner, not spending the $20K in aftermarket parts for my Q50. The Q60 is a beautiful looking car, unfortunately it's nothing like the old z. The new Z is also nothing like the old Z, and not in a good way. Nissan should have just dropped in the 3.0T into the old Z and called it quits.
Yeah, that was the problem with the old Z's though.. it was OLD. Yes they could hv redesigned it and put the new 3.0l in the new body, but honestly, everyone would have been expecting a ground up new car and not just another redesigned Z instead. Changing of the times doesn't always mean it's all better. But, if they can make new better than old, give em a chance to tweak the new new to be a better upgraded advancement. A few years to start mixing the new tech to out perform the old developed models. It's the babysteps of progress.
Love my '13' G37 Sedan with the 7AT. Fit all my needs perfectly, fast enough to have fun, RWD, high revving NA motor, able to carry passengers/cargo, and being that I went with a Journey Sedan in dark grey, looks that don't have every cop within miles staring at you. Ironically just embarrassed a brand new WRX with it tonight and I've got 130k on the clock lol.
Currently have a G35, G37, Q60 RS, 350z, & 370z (among other Zs) ... and I must say that the G35 is the most fun and best handling of them all. It's a great, timeless car.
I grew up racing dirt karts so naturally always wanted a drift car. Ive always thought of the G35 as my achievable dream drift daily. Manifestation and hard work lead me to a 2004 G35 premium package in ivory pearl white with black interior and the 6 speed RWD. By far the best car ive ever owned and will never part ways with it. My only complaint is the cooling systems can be a little hassle. This car was "cheap" there for a while and i feel grateful finding such a rare spec with alot of bolt ons and full set of drift spares. Would recommend 100% if possible, the parts can be spendy but there's also cheap parts you can take a chance on. Drift tax is real people!
My '08 G37 taught ME how to drift! Literally, I had tried many times; until one day while taking a corner in 2nd gear while revved high. Upon shifting into 3rd; the car smoothly let go of rear traction and I drifted until I released the steering wheel, let off the gas, and let the G correct itself. In that moment, I understood. Went on to master the drift in my G. I miss that lil whip.❤
It’s funny this video popped up. I used to have a g35 sedan with the HR motor and I loved it. Sold it to my mom and got a 2006 M35. I missed the sportiness of the G so I’m looking at one one Saturday with paddle shifters and a lsd. I love G’s so much but I wish I could afford a Q50😂
Let's be very clear only the 2007-2008 g35 sedan made over 300hp at 306hp absolutely no g35 coupe of any years made more than 297hp in stock trim and the sedan also weighs less
Great video! I actually have always felt Infiniti is underrated for a variety of reasons (many of which you covered). I do hope Infiniti is able to turn around their recent financial woes and make a comeback. Most of their vehicles offer tremendous value.
I drive an 08’ G37s Coupe with the 6mt. I didn’t love or was even interested in cars until I found this thing. I drove the hell outta this car when I first bought it. Definitely an amazing first car to enter into the “car scene”. Not to mention by just adding some boost you can compete with literally the best of the best. I’ll drive this car until it truly dies.
It’s refreshing to take a closer look at cars that aren’t in the usual suspects lineup. For the few who dare to be different. You let the cat out of the bag!
I bought a 2009 G37 Coupe with 40k miles in 2013, and still have it. Now has 110k miles, and never had a single issue with it - the car has been great. Super reliable, solid power and fun to drive, and a pretty good interior even in 2023. Faily strong mod scene makes it fun to own/mod yourself without spending a ton of $ on parts. After 10 years of ownership, I have zero complaints! Not sure if I'd be saying the same if I bought a BMW 3 series instead
And the most important infiniti G was the 2007-2008 Sedans. You should make a video dedicated to those years because the amount of info I found about them along while back shocked me, mainly the overseas models
Man kinda disappointed he didn’t mention jack about the HR model. Currently have a 2008 G35 sedan S model 6speed/premium package pearl ehjte and wouldn’t trade her for any other model.
Yup, so instead of spending a lot of money just to get a new Nissan 400Z, you can actually get a Q50 or Q60 with the exact same engine but a lot more cheaper.
Spelling Infiniti with a Y in the transition slides is blasphemy. Also while infotament is dated, MotorvadeDIY found that the GT-R gauges are built into it and hidden, so he unlocked it all and now you can have all the GTR metrics in your G. The real car people sleep on is the Q70/M35 sedan which had a v8 option with a 5.6 L VK engine
When the convertible g37 Bloomingdale's edition came out, the one with platinum paint,red leather interior red real woodgrain trim on staggered 19inch chrome stock wheels, that car blew away all g models, the g37 Bloomingdale's edition is super classy and extremely rare, my neighbor owns one in pristine showroom condition and it turns heads like you wouldn't believe, the coupes and sedan are ok but that particular convertible is amazing looking, the rear lights are slimmer and sleeker too waaaaay sportier
At which point were you going to mention the part about how the g35, g37 and q50/q60 are just rebadged skylines🤣 appreciate noting the primeras tho i used to have one and they are awesome! I also have the skyline v35 (g35) 4 door and its definitely a lot of car for the money
I got a 2012 Infiniti G37 all white I call it the ghost I don't let my wife drive it I love this car I love it even more they don't make them no more iconic G-Bodys Mark my words
I would love one of those G37 convertibles, if I wasn't scared of the expense of repairing that retractable hardtop. My goal is a decent G37 manual. Hard to find for a good price though.
Right on🤙🏾 I love my o4 g coupe de got it 7yrs ago and has never given me a prob I just got an o6 salvage that I building I ordered the uprev motor for it smh for 4k I’m super excited de are the best motor
I have a 2010 G37S convertible and love it! I'd be in the market for a new one if they existed. Disappointed Infiniti started going with smaller displacement twin turbo instead of larger naturally aspirated engines to get more power in newer cars.
You do realize Nissan had twin turbo cars before the vqs came out. The vr30 in the q60/ Nissan z sounds amazing with a borla exhaust, and the borla exhaust is sadly the only good sounding exhaust for the car by far(look at my shorts). The engine is so much better then the vqs in terms of making power. E85 and vrx70 turbos by z1 gets you 789 wheel horsepower(max effort), or 722whp(conservative). You’d could also get 1000 wheel horsepower out of ams alpha 10 turbos, but you’ll need to build the engine. Stock the q60 sounds like a vacuum because it has 4 catalytic converters and a big muffler.
I had a 2004 FX35, with a CRAP-ton of Stillin goodies modded into it. At 198,000'ish miles, I finally blew out the main crank bearings. I miss that wonderful car ssooooo much...
They are having some porous block issues and problems with the turbo, the block issue is somewhat rare but the turbos are problematic. They've likely revised both with the new Z coming out now but you definitely want to make sure you have the car a warranty/extended warranty of some kind if you are getting previous years of the Q50/60.
I went from driving a G35 coupe with a manual transmission to a G37 S coupe with a manual transmission. Its only lightly tuned but will run with cars way out of its price range (918's, C36's, M4 and M8's to name a few). Even at being 16 years old and over 100K miles it will perform at a high level which to me is what originally made the GT-R's famous. They was competing toe to toe with cars twice their cost. And the skylines continue to do so even today.
I own a high mileage but very clean 2013 G37 Journey Sedan that I bought during the Pandemic in 2020! As a Daily Driver this car is good enough for me! Just enjoy the soft comfortable ride!😊
20 years ago, I bought a Brand New 2004 G35 Sedan Infiniti. I still have it , it has 85000 miles on it right now. I love the body style and the handling of the Sport Tuned Suspension!😊
I think the EX35/EX37/QX50 (3.7 engine) model also deserve to be reconigzed as a memorable infiniti car, it had all qualities of the G platform in a stiylish crossover dress.
