Thank you! I was thinking about buying one. You told me all I need to know.

Why is it sooooo freaky that I actually just came across this video January 1st 2020, currently looking for a g35 as well 👀 that’s sooooo crazy!

I was just about to buy this car but checked under neath the car and notice there was leaks. The owner did not mention them but thanks to your video i knew more less what to look for so for that my friend thank you.

Dude Thank you for this video men you safe my butt. Much appreciated

Rock Auto man, not expensive at all and can find basically everything

Good video man! Thanks!

Brought mine at 161k it's at 181k. Besides value cover gasket camshaft and crankshaft it's been very reliable... And the parts depending where u get them from can be expensive

I have 05 an 05 g35x with 78k and everything u said is accurate. The only problems are minor besides like u said the expensive parts. I’ve put 10k on since I bought it a year ago and it was a great investment. I just need to replace my breaks and buy wheels spacers for my 19’ Infiniti G37 sports rims. I have so many pans for it and I can’t wait. Keep posting more and keep us updated please.

You know what’s crazy I’m watching this video on New Year’s Day of 2023 so crazy to me

I'm really hoping that I didn't make an impulse buy on the G35X that I just bout 2 months ago. It has high mileage and I've never even considered buying a vehicle at 199k. It has 205k now, so far so good. But it does like to burn oil. About a quarter of quart of oil ever 500 miles or so. I managed to talk the guy down from $3,300 to $2,500. I was actually impressed on how nice the engine sounded for having such high mileage. The fans are really the loudest thing that is until I get on the throttle. I'm going to keep the stock exhaust, might get some test pipes that's about it. I've already drained and filled the coolant, it needed it bad and it had that yellow universal crap mucking up the radiator. Then I drained 5qts of atf and filled that as well as the transfer case, front and rear diffs. I neglected to take a look at the u joints on the front driveshaft. Apparently these are known to fail, and once they do the front diff grenades. Wreaking havoc everywhere. I have no clue if the previous owners replaced them or even done a timing chain replacement for that matter. I ordered some Valve covers w/ felpro gaskets for like $55 it also came w/ new hardware. I painted them an aluminum color. Had 3 coil packs fall apart on me,so I got 6 new ones on eBay for $45. 6 NGK Laser Platinum Plugs for only $21 on eBay. Went ahead and installed a Blox 5/16th plenum spacer. Cleaned the hell out of the intake manifold,lower plenum runners, upper Plenum, Throttle body and maf. It really wasn't too bad considering it has to be over 10yrs since it was last cleaned. Thats if it has ever been cleaned. Installed a catch can, plugged the inlet on the intake tube. Ran the driver's side emission hose behind the engine to the catch can over by the power steering reservoir. Took out the pcv valve and added a pcv delete. Ran that hose to the catch can. It has two inlets and one outlet in the middle of a baffled set up. I originally vented the outlet to atmosphere installing a all breather. But I was thinking that maybe I should have the vacuum to the lower plenum. That way it will help vent the crankcase a bit. I no longer have it venting past the MAF in the intake tube. I by passed the coolant hoses for the throttle body and I can actually tell a huge difference in temperature deductions from the CAI to plenum spacer. I also painted the plenum so that may have something to do with why it doesn't feel no where near as hot as it used to get. However I couldn't install the throttle body spacer at all. Had 2 bolts that were completely stripped. I gave up and Im not taking it all apart again just to install a throttle body spacer. Probably wouldn't even get any noticable gain's, just help with keeping the intake temps down? I need to sell it, if anyone's interested pm me. I'll let it go for $30, I paid close to $50 for it. Comes with 2 gaskets and new hardware alone with the spacer of course. Now that I got all of the basic maintenance out of the way. It seriously needs some new suspension bushings like woah. I really shouldn't of neglected to do that first. But I figured I should clean the engine and give it a good tune up first. The suspension is shot,but he told me about that. The front rotors were toast. I already got a pair of vented cross drilled rotors and ceramic brakes for the front. The brake fluid was a murky dark brown,not good. Flushed all of that crap out. The atf and transfer case fluids weren't in real bad shape. They atleast looked like they had been changed before. The gear oil in the diffs was another story though. It was burnt and needed replaced thousands of miles ago. Both had a lot of metal shavings on the drain plugs. It kind of worries me,and reading about how these ujoints fail a lot, really has me paranoid now. I should of known better getting a 16yr old awd vehicle with 200k. But I was really impressed in how smooth the engine was. Now it's like an awakened beast. I won't take it past 100 though. The average speed is 75 around here. So if Im not paying attention I catch myself going over 100 easily. But if the road is rough,then there's a lot of bouncing. It's getting pretty bad. It's going to be over 600 in parts alone. I can't find the bushings I need for my yr and model. Especially that damn ball joint that bolts onto the frontward lca. So I'm going to have to order each part individually. Need to look into how difficult of a job replacing that front driveshaft will be, and might as well replace the cv axle why I'm at it. I really need this car to last atleast another 60k-80k. Enough for me to keep it for 2yrs and sell it for atleast$1,500.

Runs and drives great straight piped the resonator

Great video, your G is in very nice condition for its mileage and age. One question: do you know if this model year had the seat tears caused by a metal strip beneath the leather padding? How are your seats holding up so far? Also, do you see any cracking in your dashboard at all? Thanks in advance.

Happy New year

Own this car/color. My only issues are brakes & bushings. Don't see too many out there. Good in the snow. Keep VDC off in the summer. It's useless. Also headlights very expensive to replace. Did spacer mod and intake. Sounds great pulls nice

great vid man thanks!

A relative of mine has a 2004 G35X, and she had a 2002 Altima 3.5SE before it, which is similar. I did a LOT of work on her Altima (valve covers, wheel bearings, catalytic converters, tie rods, brakes, oil cooler o-ring, etc), so I felt prepared when she decided on the G35X. Fortunately, the previous owner had just replaced the steering rack and a lot of the front suspension components before putting the car up for sale. I don't want to spam your channel, but I just did the front wheel bearings on the G35X a couple weeks ago, and I recorded a series of videos - really not too difficult if you use the proper tools and techniques. I agree that the valve cover job is very labor intensive; it took me about 6 hours to do that job on the Altima.

The wheel bearing and front suspension goes out for me after 30,000 miles of modest driving summer/winter. Also, valve cover leaks too. Original parts are expensive

I'm considering buying this same year model, now that you've owned it for a while, would you still make the same purchase? I'm curious about your opinion now that you've had some more time with the car? Ps, I really enjoyed your review

this specific year is so fkin reliable

Do you think these rims would look good on twilight blue (I also have g35x) Also have you ever considered getting a small spoiler for this car?

iv got rear wheel drive 2005 model but im asuming the switch for snow is 4WD and new ones i think are 7 speed auto i dont think they have manual transmission

what rims are those?

Got the same model and color as you hahah just got me 2 weeks ago 2006 g35x 53 thousand miles

Just got the same car but silver and without that woodgrain interior( wish I has that woodgrain). What wheels you got on there? I dig em and the stock ones on mine are slightly scuffed from the previous youngster who apparently didn't notice curbs while turning.

There’s a 2006 Infiniti G35 for $4,500 with 91k miles. Should I buy it??

nice g35x awd

did you custom made the inside? my friend had a g35x and the interior wasn't wood grain neither was the door handle. thank you

Anyone know what the tuning capabilities are?

does it have nice speakers?

Wow I wish I watched this before I bought it. I got to replace a wheel bearing

Im trying get to a hold of one but it has 125k miles on it. You think that’s good ? I still haven’t checked it out in person tho.

What coil overs would you suggest?

just got the 2006 g35 is there no digital clock setting. or is it just the analog

I got one a few weeks ago for a decent price. I checked the Carfax report...all routine stuff, no wrecks or major issues. My question would be how many miles are these cars usually good for? I know lots of things come into play as to the longevity of a car, but assuming it was taken good care of...any idea how long these cars can go? If you could give a estimate it would be appreciated :)

what do you think handle better rwd g35 or g35x?

When you say expensive can you compare like highlights or other repairs regular prices to what you have to pay please. nice review. I seen a 06 with 130k miles (is that high) but now I’m a little scared about if I run into a repair that cause more then the car 🚗 they only want 3500.00

I've been looking into getting an 07 g35x, but in still on the fence about getting it. it has about 100k miles and is selling for 9k. any thoughts?

How do you know when the control arm needs to be replaced?

Was it wrecked? The back half is a lighter color blue than the front half

I found one with 190k miles , dealer is asking for $4500 . What do u think ? Would u buy that ?

I’m looking to get an 06 G35 this monday, it has 136k miles and I’m getting it for $3,800 what do you guys think? The car is decent and didn’t seem to have any problems when i test drove it

Where's the E. Bs

Who ever painted this thing on both sides can't match paint worth a shit

They are very easy to find and parts are cheap in 2022. This guy does not know what hes talking about.

This a reliable car...lol. I'd hate to see your review of a unreliable car. Your video just put the Kobosh on me getting one.
