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.
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.
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.

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. 🤦
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.
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
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 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
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?
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.
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.
I have a 2004 G35....no oil consumption problem @ 56550 miles....window motors piss me off sometimes, replaced thermostat, serp belt, hoses and windshield wiper fluid pump.....upgraded all three grilles up front to billet....great car....bought new in July 2004...and of course the multi disc player went out...$200 fix
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.

Did you get it? If you did, how is the gas consumption?
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?
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.
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.
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 an 06 X woth 188k miles doesn't burn oil at all. I recently changed the valve cover gaskets and the cams are clean as hell no sludge no where. Runs like a champ ive been changing a bunch of stuff on it recently.
@@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
Thanks for sharing brother. I just buy a g35x sedan and it’s almost 0 oil compsumtion issues. I really like it, is not fast but is quick. I’m about to convert the front to a sport facia. It’s gona looks sick.👍

@5:07 takes off at 2mph 😂 😂 love it
Yooo it’s crazy that you said wildhorse, I was like ayeee another AZ bro !
Ahaha yep. I'm definitely an AZ fan boy over here.
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.
Im thinking about getting my girl a G35 2008 with 150k miles. To your knowledge are the engines and trans solid ( do they last )
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
im looking at buying a g35 2008 100k miles for 7.1k good deal or nah?
If it's a clean title and doesn't look beat up at all, then tell yeah
Is it an auto or manual
you think this would make a good first car?
If you got experience with cars that burn oil YA LOL
Good car, oil consumption is real on 2005 G35.
Is it hard to do cps on these cars I did mine in like 15 minutes on my mustang I also have a G
I have a 2008 g35 x awd does this have the vq35hr in it. It's double intakes thank you
I have a question so like exterior parts for a g37 sedan are the same for a 2007 g35 sedan and like performance parts too?
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.
Thanks considering buying one very helpful video
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
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
What car do you have?
@@limbogt747 07 g35 sedan. Although I'm getting rid of it this summer because I can't afford to put gas into the car now
@@splashboi898 I live in LA gas here is crazy but how much you spend on gas
@@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.
@@splashboi898 sheesh that's alot
So which year g37 do you recommend ? I’m looking for a daily driver . Reliable and fuel efficient.
You really can't go wrong either way. I hear the 37 is a tad bit more reliable just because they worked out some of the quirks that the 35 had
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.
Bro no lie I have an 07 sedan hr now I used to have a 05 coupe with a de oil catch can is your best friend they all burn oil no maters what
I don't agree. If you do t mod it it should not consume oil when it has less than 100k in mileage. Mine doesn't burn a drop I swear but it has 50k..
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
It’s annoying getting out of your side to let your friend in
Im looking to buy a 08 g35 sedan any things i should look out for?
Buy it,it is a good reliable car
Quick question I’m very close to getting a g 35 2008 and I’m hearing a lot about terrible gas consumption, is that true?
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
Did you get it? If you did, how is the gas consumption?
this guy is so unintentionally funny bruh xD
As a 2008 g 35 x S driver I love this video your the 👌
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?
😹😹😹😹😹😹 I was on the opposite side of the road and I hear a car rev their engine I look over and it’s a civic lmfao.
I bought 2008 g37 sport its really nice body but the speedometer is not accurate and the gas gauge is always at the full
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.
I’m going through the exact same thing right now 💀
Is the m35 worth getting as well?
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.
got a g35 2003 but it keeps dying any advice? also any links im trynna get a new stereo setup
What year G35 do you have ?
hey important question you say all parts are compatible does that mean the headlights from 09 g37 will fit on the 07 g35 sedan? thanks
No you’ll have to change fenders and bumpers along with headlights
150,000 2008 g35 worth it to build?
Got a 2010 m35s love the damn thing
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
Just gotta top up the oil it’s not hard
Does the g35x sedan have the same interior as a g37?
*dash as well?”
Yeah but the dash lights up different
What about 2009 G37 headlights on a 2008 g35
I was wondering abt that too they say the parts do fit
Can a 2009 g37 headlight fit a 2008 g35? Both sedan
Yes
Ya the 2009 should be good. After that sadly they changed the design a little.
Nooo hell no bro it will not fit do ur research before u buy it da front are differton both cars
The 04-06 DEs definitely burn oil at a astonishing rate but other than that they’re great i own a 05’ g35x
I have an 06 X woth 188k miles doesn't burn oil at all. I recently changed the valve cover gaskets and the cams are clean as hell no sludge no where. Runs like a champ ive been changing a bunch of stuff on it recently.
the revups are the ones with the oil consumption issues?
My 05 burned 1 quart between 4k oil changes
Is this still for sale?
Oil consumption issues were only really for the DE motor
De , i have a 05 do i have the hr or de?
@@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
Thanks for sharing brother.
I just buy a g35x sedan and it’s almost 0 oil compsumtion issues.
I really like it, is not fast but is quick.

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.

Offer up that’s where I found mine
I have a 2008 g35 with 150k miles and it got no oil consumption and a fx35 with 200k and no problems
Ya they really do make good stuff honestly. Those fx35's are pretty cool.
How does the FX handle compared to the G35? I hear they share the same dna also with the 350z. But driving dynamics how do they compare?
@@Nestle245 they should be the same. i think the fx weighs a bit more but should be similar. I think they are close to the same length and width too
Skyline or 350z ???
great vid !!!
nice a stoner forget the convo mid way through LOL
The s and sp variant have vlsd aswell
That's true they do!
My g drinks more oil than me drinking water lol until I found out the head gasket is leaking lol 😂
It does eat a lot of oil and i put a oil catch can in there
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 🤦🏻♂️
Thing i know about G35 is it only has 2 crankshaft position sensors. 🤷♂️

Good video!
Does anyone know if the g37 alpha Rex headlights would fit a 2008 g35x sedan?
I have the same question, did you try it out?
There's NO oil consumption on vq35hr..
The problem is in vq35DE, as well as the sensor..
@ yes
the g35/g37 is not a skyline, but what is a skyline is the 350GT from japan.
What do u think of 2013 G25? are they reliable cars? Im looking to buy one as my first car
Idk but the crankshaft positioning sensor on my VQ40 took about 15 minutes and 50$
I want a manual one but they are so hard to a stock one in good condition for a reasonable price. I found one but it had a locked engine
Ya I agree the manuals are so hard to find with decent miles on them. And even if you do find them they usually cost a premium lol
