A how to guide on making your daily G35/350z reliable and get them to high mileage with minimal maintenance. Comment down below if your vq35 is above 150k! IG: dgwhip $25 Oil Catch Can: www.amazon.com...
Got an 03 Maxima with the de and she’s almost at 200k, I’ve always had an amazing experience with reliability and longevity of Nissan. Super excited to see how long I can keep this car alive and healthy. 500k here we come xd
I've honestly learned how to work on my 09 Murano by looking at videos like these.. And learning.. I've learned how to change plugs. Coil packs. Gaskets, and headgaskets. From lil videos like this.. So thanks bro... Anything you feel like recording about this engine... Do it!
My brother is at around 310k miles on his 04 G35 Sedan Auto. Engine is strong but is having issues with the Trans. Some internal sensor/solenoid. Great cars
I worked at Nissan as an service advisor last year . His 350z de . It had 400k miles only thing he replaced was the transmission at 200k cause he never did clutch and flywheel exchange lol
Not only is the beat choice for this excellent (Relapse is a fave album of mine), but also few ppl are able to explain this as well as you do. Just bought a 2006 infiniti g35 with 270K miles on it and I am dead set on getting it to at least 330K miles. Thank you for the info to help me out. I want to avoid replacing the engine for as long as possible.
How’s it going I plan on going on a long road trip my 2004 g35 has about 219k miles on it wanna make sure it can make it there with no major issues or no issues at all
Not even exagerating, my rev up can burn a quart every 100 miles. I looking forward to doing an engine rebuild. For the time being, as long as I keep topping it off, I still gap the shit out of any honda or leasebaby.
That’s not where the oil consumption comes from my dude. That’s just a PCV. If your catch can had a lot of oil you just have a lot of blow by which is not good either. Regardless oil consumption in this motor comes from valve seals and piston rings not your PCV.
You’re correct, i thought I mentioned piston rings in this video but this is one of my first videos so I probably either didn’t know or forgot. The only way to fully fix is to do a rebuild.
I had the same problem with the seats unhook the battery and spray the switches with electrical cleaner move the switch back and forth spray again let sit for a few hours then plug battery back in and they will work forever!!
I got a double din put in my g from Best Buy put in by them and they broke the windshield in the process lol. But your right, works perfect for the most part but on cold days or idek really exactly what does it but the speakers won’t play for like 20 minutes then just kick back on out of no where. It’s pretty rare but it does happen.
Had some funky shit go on when I got my Ls back too after not driving for a while the dash stopped working for like a day. It’s been about a year since that happened and it’s been fine since. The Rpms where acting up too when it happened. That was scary
Damn I hope Best Buy replaced your windshield haha, these cars truly can have some odd electronic bugs every once in a while it’s always weird when it does happen
Thanks for the info I have a 08 HR with a 159,300 miles and I’m already running a catch can and I didn’t know that you had to check VQ cold and my timing chain has been making a slight noise and I’ve paranoid that I’m gonna “send a rod to god” 😂 I’ll check the oil cold the first thing tomorrow morning
Z33 Bruh if you’re timing chain is making noise if you wanna save your engine you gotta change it immediately, it’s on its last leg, if something breaks the engine is bye bye lol, definitely check it though, you wanna run it at 5 quarts at all times if you want the engine to last
DGWhipZ I got the car at 158,000 so I probably need to top it up to be honest I’m not really sure if the timing chain is bad but the noise is like extremely quiet and it goes away sometimes
Want that engine to live a long time? Ditch those sh tyy cone filters that let more air and small particles of dirt in. Plus the other things mentioned in this video. Simple
You can also mention that you should KEEP ALL THE PASTICS/RUBBERS. The dipshit who had my G before me ran a power wire for subs under(instead of through) where the wire harness bundles together before it goes into the firewall and made it so the whole thing didnt seat right. To make things worse I will NEVER know what happened to the battery compartment cover. So, those two things combined causes puddles to form at the passenger seat floorboard in car washes, when its just parked in the rain, the smallest amount of water. But, I digress... It not so much an easy fix, but at least it not fatal to the car in general...So far..
I’d still be careful with that tho there’s a chance water could get on the ecu, it sucks when people who had the car before you don’t really know what they are doing and mess things up that should be simple
mine is at 167k 2004 with numerous issues .. but it always comes on and runs one time it went to limp mode dunno what it was but it started working again fine a week later also I wish mine was Auto 6 speed is annoying in the city.
My vq35 in my Altima burns about 1/2 qt every 10,000 mile and I drive hard and only use synthetic oil. I have 23000 not one drop of sludge even when I pulled timing cover. (-:
Which viscosity and brand of engine oil are you using on your VQ?! (Am running synthetic 5W30 on my 35HR because am scared of engine oil pressure issue or so due to using thicker engine oil such as 5W40 although i want to use thicker one..)
I have the same catch can, but I don’t have it properly mounted does that little belt clip on the can fit right into the back of the headlight? Like it was meant to be
@@dohc1974 yeah it did. I switched back on this oil change to 5w 30 and it's back to putting oil every now and then in it. I drove it about 4000 miles with the 0w 20 in it. Didn't have to out a drop in.
I'm the owner of a woerd altima 😂 very fun car fwd sucks but hey I got a vq in mint condition one owner 120k mikes from a old man 4k lol worth every dollar
@@DGWhipZ exactly why i bought one was gonna get a g35 but everyone has them in daygo so I am,building a sleeper lmao I debadged it already and doing full bolt ons 😂
Jonah urban it’s been great it definitely catches most of the blow by and whenever I dump it out it’s really nasty and I’m glad it’s not getting recycled back into the engine anymore. I dump it out every month
Flush your cooling system really well, replace your ball joints and some key suspension parts if the previous owner hasn’t already, maybe o2 sensors and you should be good to go 🙏🏽
Flush out your Power steering fluid, brake fluid and differential fluid. If you have the X model then also do the transfer case and front diff fluid. Most of the parts like suspension, steering ,axles driveshaft and others can be checked for wear to see if it needs replacement. And buy high quality parts or Nissan parts. Cheaping out means you'll be changing it again sooner.
WavvyKenan yep just dumped it out last week actually after 2 months of not checking it, had a decent amount of blow by in it so it’s definitely working, I would say get high quality hoses though a cheap one will collapse eventually and not be able to withstand the vacuum
I know you changed a bunch of stuff on that engine before it got to 300k Even with proper maintenance these engines they'll be bringing a bunch of problems
Once these cars start getting closer to 200K they start having hella problems for sure crankshaft sensor going to be replaced camshaft sensor going to replace VVT solenoid is going to have to get replaced Valve covers is going to have to get replaced The car start burning oil even more I love these cars but I have to give up on these
I just started getting this actually, when it’s cold I hear rattling from the timing cover, I’m almost certain it’s the tensioners / guides failing, I’m about to order a kit and make a video on how to do it at home 👍
@@DGWhipZ I switched to 10/40 oil, book says it's ok. Now Only does it if it sits longer then 2 days and much quieter has 145k just bought it so don't know if it was there before I got it. Adding "turbo max" nano additive for the cold start. Think its the cam phasers/actuators oil drains out overnight. I'll keep you posted if the turbo maxx helps.
I thought about trying a different oil before to see if itd quiet down some of the natural lifter tick, might have to try that out could overall be more protective of a lube for the vq
My Altima SE R is at 143k miles and I’ve beat the living fuck outta that car I mean 7k rpm shifts driving 7 hours straight going 100-150mph constant redlining but I do expensive maintenance and I use amsoil which is the best oil ever.
John Yascaribay-Bermeo those will definitely help with the longevity of the engine for sure, it won’t build up anymore oil in the manifold and the oil cooler will keep your engine nice and cool especially during hard driving
DGWhipZ I was thinking getting the MREV2 upper plenum I thin the oil build up is what you were referring to the upper plenum, but as of rn I’m concentrating on fixing some issues and next are those two before I move to coilovers, and engine mods (cold air intake, plenum spacer etc)
Typical gaming I replaced mine a year and half ago, i was having an overheating issue and had my thermostat, water pump, and radiator replaced. The radiator was the main issue but the water pump was starting to leak so it needed replacing
Typical gaming yes I used all oem parts and the dealer I bought from changed every fluid so fresh coolant tranny fluid diff oil etc it had one owner and it seemed he took really good care of it
