The hardest part about replacing spark plugs is not the "replacement", the hardest part is getting to the bloody damn spark plugs! This is great, now I know how to gain access sir. Fantastic video sir.
While doing spark plugs it’s also good to inspect the cylinders with a borescope if you have one, compression test and inspect the harness as well as the coils for damage. Don’t forget the dielectric grease around the sides of the spark plug before putting the coils back on. Use a rubber hose to lower the spark plug into the hole, don’t drop them in there.
Thanks for the video! A local shop wanted to charge me $650.00 for this. Please.... While I dont normally work in my G35--Im about the start with replacing these plugs. Very well done video RB! Kudos... ;)
Thanks alot for this video man really helpful very informative on everything on what you did so we can all learn how to do it and don't trugle. Thanks alot
Looks very helpful video. I am having problem of shaking my car. It is Nissan skyline 2007 v35. I think its a problem of ignition coil. Can I clean them and put them back? How difficult to do that by my self. What is the best chemical to clean them.thank you.
... all the snap on tools but no spark plug socket and not checking the gap before installing the plug? What in the hell? Shit you can grab some rubber hose and shove it into your socket to retain the spark plug. Rubber vacuum lines are great for hard to reach spark plugs to get them started. But I don't care what yall say pre gapped plugs aren't always gapped right always check.
My socket is old and missing the piece I the center that grabs the plugs if ur socket is new it should pull out the spark plug also u can use the coil to grab out the plug
hey i have a question so i changed the spark plugs on my car and i dont remember how the ignition coil connectors go on cylinder 5 and 6 are they supposed to be crossed ?
I think my cats on my g35 messed my spark plugs up in my car cause I put it on my code reader it was throwing a misfire on it saying that it wasn’t working right so tomorrow ima cut the cats out and see how it acts cause it’s sounds really ruff or my cats done made my car coil pack go bad
@@RBTheMechanic I’m in the process atm of changing the oil and spark plugs shouldn’t take me but about 2 hours total for it all I never really changed the spark plugs on a G35 I’m use to doing my Honda I had but I’ll figure it out
I came to this video since I was having trouble moving stuff outta the way on the passenger side. Already completed the driver side. And homeslice only shows the driver side SMH
Is it normal for the ignition coils to be covered in oil also I tried to put my 5/8 in there and it didn’t grip on 2 anything all that came out was my oily ass socket 😂😂😂
Juan Rico it might not have anything to do with oil change... but do check what type of oil u put on... other than that I would suggest u scan the car for codes and check fuel pressure clean out the mass air flow sensor
I thought all the ‘07s had the vq35hr? You lost me at ‘easy’ and ‘good access.’ lol. I’m taking the entire intake manifold off to do mine. Because trying to work around it to get to one last time was crazy difficult
@@RBTheMechanic no I haven’t thought I could change my spark plug but after seeing you removing all those parts I said to my self I’m going to leave it alone lol but your demonstration was clear
@@layzah1374 yes this one on the g35 is easy compaired to same engine on maxima it about 4 hours while intake need to be removed very critical this one is baby job compaired to maxima well I did remove lot of stuff but it’s all simple 10mm bolts

Yeah take ur time make u u do all the thread by hand and if u can get torque WRECH go buy it worth it for long run!!
Damn, makes me miss doing the spark plugs on my 93 miata.

U have to get the code to charge out the coil
What type of deep well sockets are you using ? I can't find any skinny enough to fit in the well to get the spark plugs out .
It’s spark plug socket u can find it at auto part store
Good video bro, I always put a little anti-seize on the spark-plug threads so they come off easily next time.
Yup that’s good idea
Do you have to disconnect the battery before doing the work ???
I did not and NO just key off
i have a misfire i believe. when i accelerate my cars sputters. especially when i try to floor it. you think spark plugs are the issue ??
Well not sure if I haven’t done ur tune up it’s time anways did u scan the car for codes
I thought there were 6 spark plugs ? Or did you just do 3 for an example
3 for example and other 3 are same process
Thank you for da video it help me out a lot, I was having trouble for bout an hour, and I’m in TX so it’s hot like crazy, Thank you again

Will keep that in mind
If you order them from China pre gapped then yes, definitely recheck the gap settings.. good call..
Good stuff buddy 👍🏼. Appreciate the vid
Thank you!!
Can I ask you some questions about my car ?
Sure ask me
Thanks Brotha!! Very helpful!
Welcome!!!
Spark plugs need calibration no just checking have a gap
lol gap!!
No anti-seize compound for sparkplugs?
No I never had any problem and I never see any signs of it on original plug pulled out
some spark plugs, such as the double iridium ones i bought, say on the back not to use anti seize, just dielectric grease
What can I use if I don't have a magnet ?
My socket is old and missing the piece I the center that grabs the plugs if ur socket is new it should pull out the spark plug also u can use the coil to grab out the plug
Very helpful thank you! 🙏🏽

I’m not sure if there r crossed but do u have misfire?
@@RBTheMechanic yes my car has a very rough idle then the rpms will start to drop
@@B1NO_O not rough idle I’m asking if u have misfire if that wiring is connector Ed wrong u will have check engine misfire and shake
@@RBTheMechanic i have videos of what its doing is there any where i can send them to you at?
@@B1NO_O u can upload it on ur channel
Are the coils not lined up with the connectors? The last coil connects with the connector in the center?
They about lined up but u can mix them up so try to remember where u took it off

Well misfire u can detect by disconnecting coils see if it has misfire scan for codes
@@RBTheMechanic it did have a scan code for a misfire
@@tygotbandsus5449 well tackle and fix the misfire along with new spark plugs

It’s the same process
What is it? I have the same issue
What’s the issue we just changed spark plugs no issues just regular maintance
Is it normal for the ignition coils to be covered in oil also I tried to put my 5/8 in there and it didn’t grip on 2 anything all that came out was my oily ass socket 😂😂😂
U need to replace valve
Cover gasket with spark plug bore gromets clean out the oil and then see what’s in there that wouldn’t let u put socket on
Ahhh gracias señor . That’s probably y I’m overheating 2 huh as 4 the socket I 4got 2 use a longer one lol .
@@ulyslightt no that will not cause over heating
How do you know how much torqued they need to be?
I can give you torque specs give me your cars year make and model

Why my car lose power I just took it for a oil change an now suck every time I step on the gas loose power instead of take off

shouldn't there be 6 spark plugs., the engine cover has a V6 logo on it.
3 on each side 😂 “V6” 🤦🏻♂️
Did you NOT watch the video to the end!?!?!???..SMH...
Is this the same for the 07 m35?
Might be similar but no same
I'm about to do this on my FX35. Video soon. Plus valve covers install. Mine is leaking oil into the spark plug port. Thanks.
