A car nearly as old as me? is it worth it? || 2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2017
- This is my review of my Infiniti 2003 g35 after 15 years of it being on the road, is it really worth it and does it meet the needs of 2017? In short I definitely think it does! This is a great car for those who are looking for a budget car that gives you power and comfort but is still capable of giving you an engaging drive. I highly recommend test driving one if you are considering a budget but sporty and luxurious car.
One thing that I did not mention in the review, this is an amazing car to have if you want to turn it into a project build because of the parts that are available throughout the Nissan lineup and other aftermarket parts. With the styling of the car to me it will age well for many more years to come.
For everyday driving around the harsh streets of East Toronto, this car does a great job handling those imperfections while still giving the driver great feedback through the hydraulic assisted steering.

I've just bought myself one. 2004 g35 sedan! :) my 1st car and i love it!!!
+Bassin_ with_John sweet and yeah it's an awesome first car! Something that I recently found out on certain models I think, the rear seats recline. Under the seatbelt connector, there is a plastic lever, if you pull that up and the rear seats should recline. It's for the outside two seats. Not the middle one
Bassin_ with_John i
I got one also around the same time as you. Mine only has 48k miles
+David M. Sweet!!! How is it driving??
Tai'sHere Pretty good man. It’s my first car and i love it so far. It has everything i would want and then some.
My boyfriend pass his 2003 Infiniti g35 because I feel in love with it and he bought him self a 2006 Infiniti g35. I love Infiniti g35
#Goals
I love mine
You look like discount ice cube
LOOLL
Lmaooooo
I just bought one and I couldn't be more proud that I got a GREAT CAR! I love seeing you be as happy as I am! Great car nomatter who you are! Thank you for a great video!
Those cars are very reliable. If you planning on buying one, inspect it well. They only burn oil if you abuse them so be sure to avoid the abused ones. I had one from 2003 with 230k miles on it and it still runs like new.
Mine has 278K miles and runs like it’s hardly used. Love this car and thanks for sharing! It’s really reassuring.
Bought mine , an 04 with 199k, and I immediately came here, like I do with other things, to find out what's bound to fail, mods,etc. I've already changed the tail lights to stock, put on a matching driver's side headlight assembly, and a few other things. I plan to put on a set of wheels from a 35x that I took off from a car at a junkyard that are stock. Basically this is my project car, since I'm a car nut, that I can tinker around with.
I'm about to buy a 2003 sedan with 180k miles very well taken care of coming from some old people ! For 2500 . I hope I'm doing a good decision
Make sure it's Inspected, if it's in good running condition, you are going to have a great time with it!
@@renegadetherapper What's it at now?
03-06 G35's properly modded and clean, cared examples still stand out today. Even though I own an FRS now the G's hold a soft spot in my heart and I've owned at least 3 of then 03 Sedan, 05, 06 just outstanding DD.
+Rain Santiago definitely! And with so many mods available on the market for the g35s, they can look absolutely amazing and unique! They will forever hold a spot in most car lovers minds I think!
Rain Santiago frs is slower than the g35 coupe to 60 😅
Rain Santiago a FRS Is a slow UGLY toyota piece of SHIT
Tai'sHere your does not have navagation 😧
Yeah sadly it didnt, but I gained some extra space to put my junk lol
I drove this exactly the same color 256,000 miles later she’s still hauling ass and loud minus the wings oz ultralegerra wheels 18x9 gold
What's it at now?
This is a very well put together video, super informative, all in all an excellent review, topped with subtle editing tricks, and even touching on all aspects including pros and cons
Thank you so much for the support I really appreciate it!
When the second "you" walked into the back seat that editing blew my mind good job
Lmaoo thanks! I really appreciate it!
Just bought a white 2005 G35x with 79k miles on it couldn’t be happier with it!
i have a 2004 ,,great car,,bought it 2 yrs ago no probs,,,,bought it for 4000 i got a great investment 231000 kl and run like a clock,,,lots of power. when i bought it it had 218000,, all i can say is great car and look after you're car ,treat like you treat you're self
Just got a 04 in black with 83k miles on it! so excited for it to be my first car. Runs like a dream
Amazing! I hope you are enjoy it!
I have a Black 2003 Infinity G35 Sedan. It has 218,000+ miles and still going strong!
2003 Infiniti G35 Sedan, Blacked Out, 318k miles on it and runs like a Lambo :P
Black 2003 Infiniti g35 sedan with 150,000 miles and i LOVE it
Giorgi Batiashvili are you serious lol I gt some one with 235,000
I have an 04 G35 with 135k miles, paid $5900. Runs like it got remastered 🏁💯
Just got a 03 and I love it so far super fast and nice
I just purchased a 2004 G35 Sedan 6MT with 154K miles on it... $4000 in Raleigh, NC. Love the car so far. Nice review.
+Jacob Park Nice!! Thats good to hear and yeah that manual is better for sure! 6 speed compared to the 5 speed automatic. You are getting good gear ratios and not to mention the better sounding car!
Thank you for the support!
I just bought one too with 149k for 4000 bucks in Rockingham NC. Great so far.
cool to hear someone who Loves their car and has a blast driving it and didnt have to spend a fortune to have fun.. so many people these days spending 30,40 ,50k for a freakin car! here u are spending 1k and some work and u like what u have! thats cool bro!...i have a 24 yr old probe gt ,bought new in 94 , i still own it and its probably worth 1k but its a nice car!
Absolutely! I mean if you have the money go for it go for the big buys! lol however when it comes down to vehicles, as long as when you are walking away from it, you look back and like what you see. Thats all that matters. Also when you are driving it, you enjoy every moment of that drive. It really does not matter about what you are driving but rather the act of driving itself
I own a coupe. A 2003 G35 model. I love it! Yes the paint on spoiler is fading a little and in some areas it’s showing its age, but it’s super reliable and fun. For my I prefer the coupe version, but your sedan is also very nice.
got one of these 3 months ago 06 g35 157k miles $2000 blast to drive only thing is to check your oil very often just to make sure other than that awesome daily driver
Yeah the oil is the main concern, however at least it's not like the 2009-2013 Audi 2.0L engines, those you have to put a liter a day at least when it starts burning oil!
I had the 03 with the nismo body kit in ivory pearl when new. The chassis was the skyline with a .26 coefficient of drag, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars on the road. Great car!
+J P ... I'm speechless! That sounds amazing! If you have a picture I would love to see it! If it's on your Instagram send it up or if you have a TH-cam video send it over and I'll definitely check it out!
.26 that's really good!
Got my 03 Infiniti G35 for 500 in the auction nothing wrong with it I love her so fast getting some work done to her now to make it faster
Just bought a 06 sedan with barely 100k miles on it. Been modding it ever since and man does she look good! And sound even better
Amazing!! Post a link if you want to show off that beauty!
Just bought a 04 g35x with 100k on it for 3k. I love it, already ordered a plenum, pop charger and z tube, and some test pipes. Has a nice catback on it already, and came with 3 sets of tires and extra set of rims. Cheap reliable power baby!!
Awesome! Enjoy!!! That deal you got sounds amazing!!!
Bought a 2003 Infinity G35 Sedan in black with 72000km for $6000 from the original owner who drove it off the lot. He took amazing care of it and it preforms perfectly.
+Mr fantastic that is great to hear! Yeah when they are well maintained especially, there are very few cars that can rival it in my opinion in performance and value!
Hopefully 6 months later you can spell the make of the car you bought...
kudos froom ontario : I LOVE how u gave ur overall thought at the beggining, some watchers dont wanna watch through 10 minutes of video and as soon as I saw that move from you, i subbed. do more reviews man i wanna say i was in the first 50
+mark elzawa thanks Mark for the sub! I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos!
He isn't kidding when he says AWDs won't slip💯 Perfect on snow, never slips
My g35 went through hell and still runs like new. Don't know how but it runs so well
Just bought one for my stepdaughters first car 2004 G35X AWD with 186K mi. fully loaded with Bose system for $1,700 still really nice, now I want one for myself
Honestly, they are awesome! How is your stepdaughter liking it?
I got a 03 infiniti g35 recently passed 100,000 miles super taken care of and it drives amazing.
Amazing! So glad to hear!
I love my 2004 G. She, Hidenori, runs like a champ with beauty and elegance. And she's not afraid to take on a challenge.
+T.E.M. 4491 awesome name!!! Do any mods to it??
Bought one with 94k miles, for 5.6k (smog, Registration fees and CA sales tax was 6.6k) got it mechanically inspected and showed up with a minor issue that i'll address in like a week. Great purchase.
So happy to hear! You'll have a great time with it! I had like 3 over 10 years! Sedan, coupe and then the newer g37x
I bought the same 2003 g35 sedan car for $8400 with 46k miles on it. Been driving it for a couple months now and it's been a great reliable car! yee!
+JamesDeRyan glad to hear it's been reliable!! And those are pretty low miles! Awesome!
I love my G sedan, its so much fun to have a sporty car that is still practical. Its not the best for aggressive cornering but it has some great power.
+loren young yeah! Totally agree though it's still pretty capable!
If you have the sport model, it's much much stiffer. Not to mention the VLSD it adds makes it way better.
Thanks for the video...just bought a 03 for 2800...its has 200k miles tho but a runner I'm enjoying it😊
Awesome! But I think it was a bit high on the mileage for the price but if it's running well and they recently changed the major components, then we are looking at a solid vehicle
Rescued a Black on Black 2003 6 Speed 4 Door at insurance auction for $700 recently gave her a fresh paint, did some body work and she runs like a champion. Actually this is my 4th G35 I’ve owned 3 of them sedans and all AT so getting a MT was one I’ve been lusting for a very long time.
+Rain Santiago that is awesome! How is it looking now? What damage did it take?
You will really enjoy that 6 speed manual!
Tai'sHere it got hit on the driver side replaced fender, headlight, hood, bumper and core support, rod compression, lower control arm. A little over-budget than I anticipated but the Black on Black with 6 Speed Sedan was too good for me to pass up hard to find 4 Door Sedans with MT these days.
Pricing wise I feel the V35/Z33 has bottomed out during this period. Give it a couple years or two many will discover the hidden gem of this FM platform.
Wow I ended up doing almost the same exact thing. Mine is a grey 04 though, not black. I ended up putting a new motor, clutch, and flywheel in myself a few months ago, along with Z1's HFCS and intake. It. Rips.
Also not my first G, but my first 6speed in general. I also drove 7 hours away in a rental car to pick it up with only have ever driven manual maybe 3 times in my life, all horribly. Haha, but it was super easy to learn with. Great car.
Dayam that sounds awesome! If you make a video for it, post the link!
I love this intro. I just got a 2006 G35 sedan (RWD) With 278K miles and runs awesome! Nothing wrong with the engine, but is leaking tranny and power steering fluid so I’m getting that repaired ASAP. Other than that just needs lipstick - drive amazing!! Most fun car I’ve been behind so far.
I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying your Infiniti!! Sorry to hear about the tranmy and power steering fluid, is it a major leak from the transmission? Keep me updated with how much it ends up costing you!
Thank you again for the support and the sub!!
It’s probably the RMS not the tranny which is a known issue
Great insight! 👍
I got my G35 for $ 8,000. The exact same one as yours. When I first got it has 84,000, 2 previous ownera. New tires, all season. Everything is fine with no problems. Also such an amazing car. So much fun to drive
+Tony Navas that is awesome!! And for 84km on it, that Is a fantastic deal! Soo much fun indeed
Tai'sHere 84,000 miles, I forgot our metric system is different aha
+Tony Navas lolll still not bad at all
A friend was convinced by a salesman that she needed a new car. So I manage to buy her 2004 Infiniti G35 with less than 70,000 miles on it for less than $4K. She is also a very meticulous car owner, so this car has had all of its maintenance done. Now I've always liked the car, but had never driven it, until a few days ago. So I was looking for a video to help me justify a decision and purchase that I already made. Your video did that. Thanks.
+Gene T thank you so much for your words and support I aim to provide the best information possible for everyone. I know how difficult it can be to purchase a vehicle, plus the hunt is not fun sometimes lol. I am glad that I was able to help!!
I've got a 2005 infiniti g35 sedan and I love it
+Taj Jones awesome!!!
just got a 2005 g35 sedan 140k miles for 3.5k not bad want to keep it for a while maybe coil overs, rims, and a wrap later there is few chips on the bumper but i dont mind those
Glad I bought mine 2 years ago as my first car, had the luck to buy a clean title original one , low mileage and all stock ! now it's tuned and still a great daily driver to have some fun with.. mine is an 04.5 nismo replica w/Brembo brakes, rwd 6mt swap, bolt on/350z ECU and many more . funny thing is it weight less than the coupe and only a little bit more than a base model Z! Great review buddy
+SupraSamV35 holy!!!! That is amazing!! That must have costed a pretty penny!! It must be an amazing drive! Good job on the work! If you have pictures on Instagram I would love to see how it looks! Hit me up on Instagram @taishereyt
Also thank you for the support!!
What does the Ecu do?
Nothing unless it was a tuned ECU But to put a stock Z ecu in then tune it would be pretty counterproductive since you can just tune the ECU in the G with the same software, also unless it was an automatic with awd the "rwd" in "rwd 6mt swap" isn't really part of the swap. lol though I feel you and I'm sure your G is dope, I also have a 4.5 6mt, and it's a beast. Just put a new motor in and all kinds of other parts, so I know that 6mt swap was a challenge haha.
I just found a local 2003 G35 sedan w/ 157k miles for $2100 out the door. Service history showed frequent oil changes. When I started it up for the first time, the valve train rattled a lot. After I drove it, the engine was nice and quiet. I think it's the most powerful car I've ever driven, lol. I took a chance on it anyway and signed the line.
Captain Shark how did it work out?
Please do share as to what happened next!
How is it
Looking at buying a 2004 and your video helped a lot. Appreciated all of the negatives as well as the positives that you mentioned. Seems brakes are a constant issue with this model. I'm hoping that the gas mileage is a little better than you suggested as that seemed kinda low. All in all a great video. I liked it better when you didn't have your sunglasses on doing the review.
I just picked an 04 G35x today for $4000 and I'm in love with it. The most car for 4 grand you could ever get.
You didn’t talk about the radio the third brake light the trunk light and the three fuse box that is pain comes with it,the radio alone cost a fortune to fix unless you have time to remove all the dash cover along with it and the shift knob,engine are powerful enough to get v8’s attention with a right driver and the tone are one of the best stock or aftermarket full exhaust kit and those door lines are still hot and very. Ice led tailights for 2003 are phenomenal with rear wheel drive or all wheel drive,it’s a complete all weather condition car or just a track used while not breaking the bank now but before it’s lil pricey,one of the reason I got this is has bulletproof transmission abuse or babied that transmission will hold until the first engine leak and dropped,oh and the hub and bearing don’t forget to chance every 2-3 years and the pads and brakes bites like it’s the end of the road overall I never seen a car like this to dropped 27k again soon ---new---- unless it’s another Infiniti or Nissan 😄
This was a great video. Thank you.
+J.D.M. Performance thank you for your support
I have an 03 . had it for a year & half. It's a very fun car to drive. And with all the aftermarket things for these car you can make it look a lot better. I drive mine every single day and here and there I'll do some donuts and rev the fuck out of it. It's a very reliable engine if you keep up with maintenance.
I've been driving my 2004 G35 with the Journey package in the same color as yours for over a decade and I love it. I just put on new tires and it absolutely transformed the ride and I had Michelin Primacy MXVs on it before. If you want a smoother and quieter tire that still does everything else too look no further than the Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season plus ii. They are phenomenal. And I paid a third of what the Michelin Primacy cost me. My G35 has the 17" 6 spoke wheels which I like a little better than the 5 spokes on yours. Great looking car. Mine doesn't have the rear spoiler and frankly I think rear spoilers should be used sparingly and the G35, at least the first generation looks better without it. The next car I aspire to own that I also think ages well is the Lexus SC430.
Very well done video just bought the exact same car with 140,000 miles
The beginning reminded me of a old school video of a new reporter when the video was zooming out
Loll yeah its rudimentary! 😋
I have a clean 04x with 171k on it.
Entire new front suspension and tires.
Bosal cat back.(For now!)
Front and rear diffs serviced.
All new crank and cam sensors with new harness connector for bank 1.
New knock sensor and Z1 harness.
New fuel pump, sending unit, strainer, and dampers.
Intake and injectors cleaned.
New performance calipers, pads, and rotors.
Motordyne 5/16 spacer kit.
PML trans pan, new filter and synthetic trans fluid.
Waiting on Z1 high flow cats, headers, Z1 diff cover and bushings.
JDM dash kit.
Kenwood GPS HU taken from my Tahoe.
JBL club series 6 3/4 speakers in all doors powered by Clarion 75x4 amp.
Custom installed 8" Kicker comp sub in rear deck (basket is too big to clear brackets) powered by 250 kicker mono amp.
All new HID, fog lamp bulbs, lenses restored and both markers are LED's.
New Rad with temp gauge cap, and waterpump.
New reverse lamps for 05 model.
All work done by me or it else it would not be worth it! Accelerates fast and is very fast!
Next summer I will install new timing chain and sprockets. And get a paint job, same color of obsidian black.
How much did it all cost you ?
Wow! that sounds like this car is getting a full overhaul! Awesome! Are you planning on making a video for it?
@@taishere557 I thought about it, I wouldnt mind for the sake of helping other people take care of their cars.
@@OhhExohh Im a guess about $2500 all my current parts combined. I wouldnt be surprised if it were less because I only shop online for best value deals since I do all the work myself.
Great cars as a daily for regular commuter or a platform to build on for tuners. Only issues I found with age are the alignment problems common on 350z/g35 and old bushings. Other than those age related problems, fantastic cars for the budget.
Wildchild_inc suspension is quite pricey for these though good news is there’s plenty of stuff out there for this car and solid community as well.
Wildchild_inc don't forget seats not working radio window motor
Dope review bro. had 2 of the g35x/s (07 & 08) just sold it and i'm about to buy a q50 '2017. AMAZING CARS!..... but def prefer the 07/08 over the older models. Older models interior looks just so old and i hate that orange dashboard!
+محمد ابراهيم
Thank you for the support! With the next generation body? If so, yeah they were pretty good looking, especially the interior! Huge upgrade!! For the sedan especially but i think they kinda messed with proportions for the coupe for the 07-15. It looked a little too rounded in my opinion but still nice especially if you modified it and put your own taste to it!
And the q50's look amazing too! What about the new q60? What do you think about them? I personally love the look but I'm kinda skeptical about the drive by wire system... where is kinda like driving in a video game. Like I loved the hydraulic steering in the older generations because of the weighting and predictability of it but the electronic and simulated steering might just take away from the driving feel. I know they are pushing for the future where it will be semi autonomous driving but I'm just kinda skeptical!
im going today to infiniti to go testdrive , i will let you know what i go with by tomorrow, really excited and i cant wait! #TEAMINFINITI
+محمد ابراهيم
Sweet! And I can imagine the excitement, enjoy those test drives! And yeah let me know what you think of the steering and road feedback. #TEAMINFINITI all the way!
Well, I prefer my '06 coupe's orange lighting as its warm and less clinical... Btw, the 06/07 difference with regards to interior are negligible but WAY better than the earlier models...
Thanks! I just bought the G35 I. Luxury.
Good choice!
These cars in Cali are getting harder to find especially in 6mt but i got lucky in my opinion cause i paid 6,250$ for an 03 G35 Sedan 6mt with 112k miles it’s bone stock and everything works, its a blast to drive i already have a 08 G35hr but it’s auto and i wanted a manual
I can imagine, California has had a huge demand for older G35's for its tune ability and robustness which might have led a lot of them either getting into accidents or them not being sorted and either catching on fire or just straight dying. The value of them are starting to hold especially the manuals! It's a decent price for 112k miles! Enjoy!!
Bro the car is automatic and Manuel lol
I love this!!! Got me a 03 and working on it
Alright! What are you planning on doing to it??
My first car at 18 was a used G35 coupe in 2013. I had a 2003 model. At the time it was already ten years old but damn I loved it. Great cars! Sadly she was totaled by a drunk driver. Now I have a 2008 Lexus IS250 and those too are classy and nice. Lexus and Infiniti, love those brands.
I'm sorry to hear about the collision, Lexus you can't go wrong and the is250 is a small nimble car, great for every day driving! But yeah I bet you miss the G35s growl lol, but not the gas consumption lol
Dashboard electronic problems on these G35s as well, but other than that they are excellent cars.
G35 is a great car and ages very will very clean body lines!!
Going to buy a 2003 with 69,000 for a little over 8000 after taxes and all!!! So excited
Still daily driving my bought-new 2003 G35. 380k, and still a blast to drive.
That's 380k miles.
And still kicking strong! Awesome!
I should have edited my previous comment but oh well. My car is diamond graphite with willow interior. After I said mine is the same color as yours, your car started to appear more like the champagne gold color so I'm not sure. The color they call diamond graphite is like a pewter gray metallic color and I think it's probably the favorite color car I've ever owned and I've had a lot of cars.
Yeah my one was a little more champagne than silver, I wanted the silver but during my buying phase, this was the colour I could find!
Damn really high quality. great video man keep it up
Thank you so much! I looking to revive the channel! Just been caught up with a couple things hopefully in a couple months there will be a new video up with more constant uploads
@@taishere557 you should. I truly am enjoying ur vids
I subbed man great vid!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!!
just bought an 03 sedan. A little rust, 240,000 km on it but for $650, I'll take it! Needs a new flex pipe and brakes but other than that it is still good.
+Joseph B that is a really good price! Great find!
Owned an 03 since 2004. Second owner, never a single issue. I refuse to sell, family makes fun of me on the daily
Great to hear!!! And yeah it's an awesome car!
really nice video man! Looking at the G35 rout as an enthusiast, I wanted a 350z but thats only a two seater. I may pick this up!
Thank you!!! I appreciate the support! And definitely, it's an awesome option!
thank you, thank you i was just giving up on buying this car cuz i couldn't find any long term reviews. i will be cheking mine out next week its under 180k & under 5000$. its a driving car just gotta check it out.
+King Pin NICE! not a bad price! See if you can bring it down to like $4500 should be doable and thank you for the support :) you will enjoy it!
King Pin My first one went to 300,000 miles before I sold it. It's probably still on the road somewhere I'm sure. I wasn't easy on it either, many 8 to 16 hour trips through mountain roads and while beating on her. My current one is now a 6speed sedan. Such a great car.
It’s 2018 and I’m looking at this video rn bc its a 2003 at 180,000 miles and selling it at 3,385$ I think that’s worth it and might can get it down to 3k
Tayshon Harrell First have a mechanic look over it. Make sure it DOESN'T BURN OIL. You don't want to deal with that, it may burn a tiny amount if you drive hard. That's normal. Make sure the mechanic does a pressure test on the cylinders, if it's all good. Buy it.
This is something you should do with any used car about 150,000 miles. Even above 100,000.
Desmond Hebert I mean it has 165,000 miles but alright appreciate it
Thinking about buying for 9k at 68kmiles. It is from a dealer who bought at auction. Carfax shows minor damage. Inside looks a little rough but as my first car i cant spend more than 10k. I want to know what to look for when test driving and looking further in detail this monday. If anyone can help thanks
Just purchased my 03 sedan 2 weeks ago and it's a great car love the feel the sound the ride.. great video!
Great to hear Rob! Thank you for the compliment and yeah I LOVE my G35! For the value its amazing what you get. The only thing i wished it had was an aux cable but easy fix with a new head unit.
Did you get the automatic or the manual?
Tai'sHere I have the auto it was fitted with the CAI my Injen along with slotted/cross drilled rotors, debaged trunk and Plasti dipped grill and wheels.
+Rob Austin oh my! That is amazing! Is that work that you did on the car or did it come with the upgrades? And that is one of the greatest aspects to the g35, there are so many options for customization and performance boosts while still remaining reliable.
Tai'sHere It came with those aftermarket parts the previous owner decided to part ways and focus on his Altima SE-R which had way more mods done to it.
Great to hear! You got an awesome car then! Any plans on what you might want to do with it in terms of modifications? Or are you thinking just keep it as is for a while?
I’m going to see this 2003 g35 brembo brakes all that, never winter driven no rust, going to get the inspection and hopefully it passes everything. It only has 135 000km with 2 owners. He wants 8500 CAD $ and is not negotiable at all. I think it’s a great deal but a lot of people are saying don’t spend that much money on a 15 year old car it’s gonna break parts are expensive, it has transmission and oil burning problems blah blah blah. What’s your honest opinion?
That's pretty good for the mileage, if the owner is able to drop it to 8k flat that would be awesome and yeah upgraded brake kit! However I would highly recommend take it to a mechanic to have them look at the mechanical aspects to it, if they can run a combustion test as well to see how the engine is that would be beneficial for you. If they cannot just look for leaks in the engine, though I dont see that being an issue with the mileage. Ask the owner if there were any performance mods on it before as well.
I find that the prices for the g35's have gone up a bit from when I made my review as well.
Depends, 6mt or 5at? 03/04s don't usually suffer the same oil burning problems as the Rev-ups in 05/06. Get it compression tested.
Excellent video! Love your style of this vid
+Slobby thank you so much for the support I am looking to make more videos just need the right cars lol
Tai'sHere Take your time there's no rush. A suggestion I would leave would be if you still have this g35, to maybe show any mods you install to it, if any.
I really want one thanks for video very helpful
Should o buy a 2003 G35 Sedan for $2,000? It has 194,000km (120,546miles). Someone I know is selling one and he said he could sell it for 3-4k but since he knows me and is kind he’ll sell it to me for cheap
For sure, the used car market kinda went up in price. Now I would double check with a mechanic just to do a quick over view. Make sure the differentials are okay, the transfer case (if it's all wheel drive) check for slipping in the transmission. If you do get it I would suggest changing all the fluids just to be safe
I have the same exact car but mines an 04 i got it about 5 months ago and i love it!!
+Jacob Dawson sweet and yeah it's amazing:)
+Jacob Dawson 5 months of total blissful driving lol
It’s about to be my first car and I really want to know
🙏 thank you
Let me know if you have any questions! If you have already purchased it, how is it?
just bought one an hour ago in san fran: 2003 with 91k miles, so thats about 140k kilometers. ive for the most part despised j cars, but when i moved to Japan in 2001, that was the first year of that design and i thought Nissan did an amazing job with the design. the bumps that you see on the edges as you drive, reminds me of the austin cambridge and morris minors and wolsleys of my youth in jamaica. and I was impressed with the handling when i drove it an hour ago. I just moved back from japan a month ago, where I had (still do) a 2000 bmw e46. And to my surprise, the Nissan skylne (fuck that infinity G35 bullshit) damn near feels like my 3 series bm. only problem is, the learning curve. Now, im gonna have to learn about this car. my very first Japanese car. yeh, not bad for 4 grand. its in immaculate condition. i only will make one modification: will have to change the red rear turn signals to amber. fuckin' hate that north american red turn signal crap, since i was a five year old kid in jamaica.
Awesome your first Japanese car! Honestly its a really good option for those who are getting into the Japanese market. I absolutely agree, Nissan had a certain type of understated look. Subtle but effective in my opinion. Like personally I love Aston Martins for that very reason! Subtle but effective lol
With a couple mods definitely can feel amazing, what i love most is that steering feel, its not too heavy as BMW 3 series' but perfectly balanced. 4 Grand is actually a really good price for one in great condition!
As for the turn signals, not much we can do outside of darken them lol at least without getting a ticket :P
Enjoy the car!
im a big aston fan too. trying to figure out if i want a used rapide over a used tesla. but the rapide doesnt depreciate that much, so it may just have to be a used tesla. as to the red turn signals: live with it? hellllllll no! i just got a a pair of tail lights from amazon japan. 50 bucks for both.
True True! #AmazonIsDaBest lol
The Rapide is soo nice im personally in love with the Vantage the previous generation body, there is just something about it, it pulls at my heart strings lol
Awesome a tesla! The fuel savings that you are getting right off the bat over the Rapide is totally worth it lol, i mean if you drive a lot that could be like a rent payment each month :P
Coolest review ever! I am convinced.
+arshpreet singh thank you!! Really appreciate the compliment!
I have a g20 2002 for 2 years, upgrading to g35x 4Dr 2006 at 160K kms in under $5K in a fabulous shape and condition next week. excited!!
+arshpreet singh very good! You will not be disappointed by the car and I think you are getting it with the keyless start! So you do not have to insert your key into ignition to start the car
yeah , key less. its like a regulator.
you said everything I love about my 04 sedan I'm just mad you didn't say the rear seats can recline for better comfort
+james bond yeah I totally forgot to mention that! I don't spend a lot of time in the rear and completely forgot!
Hey I understand buddy lol
Tai'sHere the rear seats recline too? How you do that?
+Jesus Sanchez right under the rear seat belt latch there is a little lever, pull it up and it will recline :)
+Jesus all of them don't have the ft, you will know if your seats recline only if your rear headrest can move up and down
ive watched this like 5 times please do more reviews
+Ryan Mukite thank you for the support and I am working on it for sure!
Is a 2003 INFINITI G35 Sedan RWD with Leather 134975 miles a good deal for $2,700
Depends, does everything check out? Like its mechanically in good condition and there are no leaks or anything then yeah I would say that 2700 is fair but you should be able to negotiate it down to 2300 or so
Very good review good job 😘
+Mahdi Shirzad thank you :)
i mess with the editing great vid man makes me want one only concern is the mpg
Thank you buddy! Yeah the car is great but with the fuel prices now a days it makes you wanna reconsider, then again it really depends on where you live for the gas prices here in Toronto it's a little too high
If it is in a good condition yes it worth it i got mine like 4 months ago is in good condition i got it with 122k for 4k
I got a 2006 Infiniti g35x I bought it with 168k miles , I was concerned about it dying on me cuz of the high mileage DAWG WAS I FUCKING WRONG THIS BITCH FLYS ON THE FREEWAY FOR A STOCK CAR ? ON MY MOM THE ENGINE ? STRONGGGGG AF. I’m speaking about this car after 30,000 miles that too ? High mileage , love the car so much I would buy it again , no bs
Yeah there are rarely any major issues that I find, as long as you take care of the car it will take care of you lol
Your so right on how the 03,04 rear lights look better ;))
+igot themagicinm3 Right! Like the circular lights look good on the coupes because of the way they are shaped but on the sedans I love the straight lined leds!!
great review bro!!!
Thank you!
They are great cars I have mine it’s a 03
The jdm version is a Nissan Skyline 350gt
My 05 stick is still running strong!
5k 130 miles ? Is it Worth it
I’ve owned 07 6mt Sedan 05 6mt Uprev coupe 03 6mt Sedan basically all of them lol all amazing
Better looking than the Q50 in my opinion
So when inspecting the car before I buy it, you said in order to tell if it's burning oil is to rev the engine high and see if smoke with a blue tint comes out? Are there any other ways to check? Thanks and keep up the great work!
+Armend Berisha that is the easiest check, other than that all I know is you might smell it coming out of the exhaust. If it's in the later stages, I think it might come up as an error code when scanning the engine with an obd sensor.
And thank you for the support!
Tai'sHere ok thanks!
I'm in my last year of high school and would defenly choose this as my first car if possible ( going through insurance rates, maintenance and all that BS). IMO it's not that these cars are getting old, it's just the cars these days are "evolving" way too damn fast, somehow in a bad way. Looking back in the 90s and 2000s, a car exterior design could be used for more than 3 years. And even some manufactures did change their car looks a year or two, they'd make sure to come up with some advanced designs every time, like useful new features. But now car manufactures change their exterior designs way too frequently that they bring up (useless)new stuffs almost every damn year while the ones they brought up last year are still in use. And eventually they just run out of ideas, and this results in those overhyped easily forgettable car exteriors with those pointless curves and gills that would make a 250 HP family sedan looks like a 400+ HP performance car, and a bunch of electronics that are almost like telling the owners "Oh you don't even have to learn how to drive, we'll do it all for you!" SMH. Cars like the G35 just benefits me, useful DD and also a little sporty without a overhyped look. At least I could be sure that I still know how to use the steering wheel and the pedals underneath 10 years from now :P
Great review!
Thank you!
I checked out one yesterday but it had 2 problems.
1. The coolant in the radiator was rusty but not in the overflow tank.
2. When I turned the car on the radio came on and wouldn’t turn off, the controls worked but the radio was still playing
Hmmm that might mean that the circulation might have a problem from the overflow tank to the radiator or they just put in coolant in the tank.
For the radio, might just be the button for the off is jammed however I find most change out the radio for something a little more connected, like a double din head unit with like bluetooth and USB inputs
Hey Tai, loved the review. It's a great car to drive. Mine is a 2006 G35 sedan and I have a question for you. My rubber roof trim (roof ditch) on passenger side running from front windshield to rear windshield blew off the car. Driver side a bit loose midway. Dealer replacement is too high, around $200, can't seem to find it anywhere cheap. Any thoughts? I think it's part 73854AL510. Btw, how many miles on your G35? I've got 92000 and had it since 2008, will keep mine till it starts costing more than $2000 per year to repair. (so far so good) Let me know on the rubber roof strips, and thanks for sharing the video.
+Kish Mirtuches thank you for the support! Really appreciate it. Are you close to the Toronto area by Any chance? I know a few shops that specialize in aftermarket parts if not if you know any definitely a good place to check out. You could also see if a scrap yard might have it but I'm not exactly sure how it comes out, if it's a onetime install or not. From looking at mine it seems like it should not be a one time install you might just need fasteners on as well as the rubber strip. I found one that is a little cheaper but not significantly I'll leave a link below.
At the moment I have about 248,000 km or about 154,300 miles at the moment and I drive a lot on my cars last year I put about 45,000km in a year so 27,900miles in a year. This year it's been a lot lighter because work does not require me to drive around as much anymore so I'm light on the drive on this now

Thanks Tai. Live in S Florida, just north of Ft Lauderdale. Enjoy your G.
+Kish Mirtuches no worries bud! And you too!!!
Hello just seen ur review and love it thanks, my question is ,should i buy this car at a little ove 180,000 miles
How much are they looking for? The mileage is really good but also what's the condition of the car?
300 k and mine was running like new.
(Replace most parts when you reach high numbers)
Just got a 2004 sedan 209k miles hopefully I can get it to 300k but she run like new
It's remarkable at how long these vehicles could potentially last!
I just bought an early 03 sedan for $700 it has every factory option except for the spoiler and runs amazingly but the trans leaks
+William Ramirez that's awesome!!!
Tai'sHere it has a new battery, water pump, thermostat, timing belt, coil packs, maf, and radiator but it was taken to someone to "replace" the transmission filter even though the filter in the 5at trans in the g35 is non serviceable and the guy messed something up so the trans fluid comes out of the fill tube im going to drop the pan whenever i get a chance and fix it but until then its sitting
$700??? Wow
