Okay, so like i totally understand what you mean that g owner should be checking their oil all the time since its known to have a high oil consumption, I was lucky enough to put oil in before it goes out last week cause i haven't checked it in a while, but like when i go start my car, when i have my keys in the on position i can see a engine oil icon, but it never lights up when im low on engine oil, is it something infiniti make?
I remember I put Lucas lube in my oil. My check engine light came on and car started acting crazy. I use to use Hyperlube and never had a problem. But cool thing is my mechanic is Thatdudeinblue mechanic and hes the best out there.
Completely debatable as once I drop my 10W30 in my VQ, I am good until it's time to change it.But then again, my DE isn't a Rev-Up although I'm making 463 to the crank. And yes, I drive "the builded VQ" pretty hard from time to time (i.e., Autocross, Drift Nirvana, etc).

My 07' 350Z has 152K. Haven't replaced a thing besides tires and brakes. It's an automatic. Dealer gives me free oil changes every 6mo. Feeling blessed I got a REALLY good car. Good for you. She's beautiful. The interior is def a little bit nicer than the 350z. Subbed! Damn that Motordyne exhaust
Other than the G35 and G37, i really don't care for anything else Infiniti makes now days. I bought my G35 7 years ago and so far put about 36k miles on it. About 7k miles were boosted miles. Long Live the Gs.
@@DJWoopneck no mine was automatic. No major issues until mechanic don’t think he knew what he was doing putting in the converters after that I had problems. Now was not an infinite dealership mechanic... wish I had.
Great video and so amazing you’ve kept a detailed log of the owners experience. Mad respect on the work you’ve done and the look of the car after all those years. Keep it up!
@motordyne35 Bro, your videos are phenomenal. I've learned so much from what you've posted. Thank you! I bought a 2008 G35X at 70,000 miles and now it has 116,000. I've only done engine oil changes, brakes, trans oil, tires, and cabin and engine air filters. Drove it across the country from WI to L.A.. It's the best car I've owned. Please keep the great work! I log everything in because of you.
I'm blessed to be an owner of the original 2003 G35 coupe MT. I've driven it for 216,000 original miles as a daily spirited driver. The performance, ride and looks still pleases me till this day. I've kept up with maintenance and never had to replace anything except fluids, tires, brakes, oil, sparkplugs. The window motor, door lock regulator, seat controls and ac/ radio head unit repair were the only malfunctions. Everything else is still original.
I love this old body style 2 door. I have a G35X 4 door and a G37S 2 door and I'd almost straight up trade for the G35 two door. Very nice ride man. EXCELLENT
I have my stock 2003 6 speed with about 95,000 miles on it now. I'm the original owner. I've basically just done the scheduled maintenance and not had any major issues. Rarely drive the car the last few years, just mostly keep it garaged.
i still own 2008 g35x for winter beater. Ive driven through 30 cm of snow, ice rain storm, 800km rd trip to montreal and it earned my trust!

+Contane 21 and +Low Rez - What? What are you smoking and where are you both lol? Dude, there are so many manual's in my area it's not even funny. Save your money; buy a plane ticket; and fly to Maryland/DC Area as there so fucken common it's not even funny.

+Heckerman I'm only responding to you to tell you how ignorant you. On that note, I picked up my G from there with no rust. My boy just picked one up two weeks ago "for a daily" with no rust. Like, who's man's are you again??
+Heckerman - Okay when you put it that way then sure I agree 100%. However, when I read your response I thought you were implying "It's Rusted Badly" lol. But seriously, every used car that's not garage kept will be rusted out someway or somehow due to: incremental weather, oil spills and road grime, etc. I mean literally! Out here in Montgomery County, MD you'd be surprised how many rich heads neglect their cars, and think driving in the rain is a "better way" to wash off road debris. Meanwhile, they all think my 04' G35 is a brand new car LMAO! Like nope! I just take care of my shit. On that note, I can give a fuck about the chassis as I always rip the chassis out for new ones; new suspension; as I build drift and track cars. #EastCoastVQs #VQNation #DriftLife
Excellent documentation and great looking car! I have a 2007 g35 rwd sedan - it drives and shifts like a brand new car. It was owned by a lady who kept it in excellent condition. Got it at 76k and now has 118k. Always replaced the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30. I have driven new cars (2016 maxima, Altima, 2014 335i, 2016 Camry, 2014 Corolla) and my car drives smoother, shifts better (besides the maxima cvt), also just purchased a 2015 q50 sport which is a good car but I enjoy my g35 more. I will be getting a radiator flush in a month, and transmission flush. Solid cars - I do wish the interior quality was better (serious need)
Infinity just nails it. There made to be driven in a sporty way. Also timmimg chain engines. No timmimg belt crap! My 2008 M45s is about to turn 100,000 and just did a full tune up and fluids. Hope it last 170.000 or more cause it's truely one of my top 5 dream cars. That's awesome you kept a log on your car btw. I kinda do the same.
My 07 has 88k and I'm trying to keep it low as she's not my daily. Must say your g is sweet! The sound is incredible. Keep posting as this g is my fave of all time
Dude you inspired me to get one of these, just bought an 05 coupe, stick. Will give an update in 1000 miles but so far it has been well... more fun than any car I’ve driven. Ever.
Motordyne G35 yea man it sounds amazing with those on. I gotta take care of the rear wheel bearings but after that I’m gonna upgrade the exhaust, put a new intake on and get a tune. Possibly will also get that one weird spacer thing done with the engine cover idk what it is but my friend told me about it. He says two of the cylinders come kinda restricted. You heard of what he’s talking about?
@@tylerwaterman9442 ...well you have a 6MT like I do. So the 5/16th spacer only works when paired with MREV2. Yes, your friend is right. It is cylinder 1 and 2 that get starved for air. They are at the very front of the engine.
What an awesome video bro, u have her looking brand new after all these years. I'm going to hit 175 k on mine probably on my next trip to work so u are right man if u take care of the G she will take care of u. I hope u have another decade with that beast she is definitely beautiful.
Thank you for making this video man! I am going to buy a 2007 350Z this weekend, and I am nervous about it because I normally never spend money! (I would get a g35 but I'm a single graduate student with not much stuff and I never move things, so I don't really need the back seats).
how did the purchase go? I bought a 2004 350z convertible last year. it had been sitting for 7 years in a garage only started once a week. great car and has only gotten better after breaking in again.
@@ghostman76015 Dude, it was a crazy story... basically the 350Z I wanted was sold, but they sold me a rebuilt title 370Z Touring for $10k..... what a great purchase that was! I miss my 370Z... I eventually traded it for a Infiniti Q50, which is nice, but I def miss the Z.
Dude you have the absolute coolest best most organized log of anything and everything and all information to the point where it makes my mouth water , sick just grabbed a 37s I grab it tm I’m amped !!!!!
Motordyne G35 thanks man any besides oil mainly what do you rec me going ahead and servicing , I would assume things like throttle body cleaning and such ???
i know this comment is old.. but for anyone else in the same situation, that price is way too high even if it has mods at that mileage you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the mods for too long
Issac: (10 months ago) and if it is running fine and has a good service record I suspect you've already bought it, I think that was a pretty good deal.
Owner of a 03 350Z since new only big repair Bill was a Clutch ....only has 87K on it great car as a daily driver ..although I drive only in the summer had the chance to Drive a 05 G35 car is loose not even close what I expected .... quick power in 1st gear ,
Man, when I first got mine, not even 2 days in, oil cooler and valve cover gasket went out. Causing me to lose all my oil at once. It sounded like a water hose. But motor is practically new, it's 80k miles. New clutch, everything stock. But find out it's got a stage 2 tune, so stage 2 CAI, stage 2 clutch. It's all stock but the exhaust makes popping noises which is sick. Haha
Great video! I have a 2009 G35 Coupe. Do you know any good repair shops here in Southern CA that I can trust with my car? I don’t have the skills you have. Too many claim to know how to fix this car but don’t do it correctly. I think the Cam sensor is bad.
That underpass. Was that Phoenix Arizona? I just purchased a Infinity M35 Sport and the thing has me paranoid. but it does need very little work. I have the whole statement from the dealership with. 25 point inspection and was wondering if you do live in Arizona would you mind taking a look at it for me.
12:23 holy shit. I've been looking relentlessly for a fix for the SAME EXACT issue. I wish you would've supplied the code, hopefully you got the same one.. "P1283 Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Lean Shift Monitoring Bank 2" When my buddies and I tried diagnosing this, we assumed it was the AF sensors too. (He says he changed the O2 sensors BEFORE the cats first) Although yes, those are O2 sesnors, I got sold O2 sensors when really I needed to O2 sensors BEFORE the cat... They call them AF sensors and they're about the same price. Excuse my cluttered thought, I read a diagram wrong and ended up changing the AF sensor on the passenger side, instead of the driver side.. The code eventually came back which lead me to believe that I changed the wrong one. So I went ahead and changed the other AF sensor. Code came back and I said, "Screw it. My car must just be running rich because of my aftermarket exhaust" Thankfully right at 12:23, our boy at Motordyne describes the same exact issue and how he resolved it..! Which btw the fix was the O2 sensors, not the AF sensors. (AF=Air Fuel and for those that don't know, AF sensors are before the cat, and O2 sensors are after the cat) Happily noted man! Gonna swap out both of those O2 sensors shortly here, and hopefully I can stop driving around with that damn check engine light.
Mines at 75k. Replaced all fluids and belts. Is there anything else to replace soon? I'm thinking clutch + flywheel are on their way out, then maybe spark plugs at 100k. Do most people need to rebuild their diff?
I bought a motordyne plenum spacer and a 75MM throttle body. I was planning to put them on right away and the tune would have to wait since I’m running a bit of a tight schedule for it. (It’ll be an e tune) I’m at 151k miles almost 152. Should I be alright running w the mods? Because I was gonna do these sorts of maintenance and install an oil catch can right after I install both engine mods.
I don't think the power steering pump was mentioned. The OEM pumps are very expensive. Would you personally get a remanufactured or used one from a used parts dealer?
I have a 2008 Infiniti G 35 with 125k miles what do u think drove great during test drive took a mechanic said it was a great car wasn’t leaking anything
Question--Why do all the G37's and the g35's that don't have the seat controls in the seat have warped and damaged thigh support in the drivers seat on the left side? Can these be repaired without buying a new seat. Thanks.
I got a G35 at 191k miles and I did a compression 4 days ago. Came out at 180psi across the board doing 5 ignition starts with #4 at 190psi, but I did 6 on that one. Just do the typical car maintenance, and that baby will continue to pull like it did years ago, maybe not exactly as hard, but you get the point. Just don't be a jackass all the time and it's a damn good reliable car.
My 07 G35 Sedan is at 220K miles. Replaced Transmission @170. Low on liquid so "my fault". Replaced AC compressor -600$ at 200K miles. Replaced Cat Converter -500$ That's all for major components..
Dude I need some advice I found a 07 g35 coupe 86k miles. And I’m planning to mods the car too! it’s in excellent condition. Question. Is the miles too high?
Damn my 02 altima 3.5 never any of those issues and I drove that thing hard, only had 170,000KM on it though before she got into an accident this March. :( Granted HR vs DE so slightly different but oh well sometimes you just get lucky. Looking forward to grabbing my G37 Coupe tomorrow. :)
Hey man congrats on keeping your ride up to date. Hey i just purchased an 08 g37s. How hard is it to change the spark plugs? Will it be the same as the g35? Is it something i can do my self with basic knowledge? Thanks
Got my 04 g35 coupe in December, automatic (don’t hate) with 54k miles . It was babied but man oh man does it hall ass, I don’t run it hard but when I do it runs. So far I’ve only had to do an oil change and change the alternator belt but getting the brake rotors and pads changed soon. Clean lookin G 👌💯
i noticed next to nobody washes aftermarket intake filters... lol... im not looking forward to cleaning my g37 cold air filters... have to remove the bumper to take em off... ugh
Great content man. Im a big fan of the g35 coupes and can't wait to get one after deployment this year. Any personal advice on which year would be less of a headache?
Even though I own 2005, I recommend either a 06 or 07. I've converted to 06-07 projector headlights and I got lucky with the CD009 gearbox with a late model 2005. 06-07 came with CD009 gearbox on all the manuals.
Are parts expensive for it? I want to either get a 370 or a g37. Knowing the Infinity is a luxury brand, how much more are the parts for it compared to Nissans?
I have a 5AT 07 G35 Sedan(120k mi). What do i need to get or do to the car to get 300 wheel horsepower out of the V36? I'm not trying to go FI just yet since its my daily at the moment. It's also my first car and I plan to keep it forever.
I once owned a Vauxhall Vectra ( the uncoolest car in the UK ) and did 170k miles in 6 years. In that time the only fault was a stone through the air conditioning condenser. Other than this only routine maintenance needed. Oil change every 10k. Major service every 40k. Brake discs lasted 120k and the tires did 50k per set. The cheapest working car I’ve owned but a lot more dull than your Infinity 😁
My 2004 g sedan has been over heating at idle with the ac on I replaced the clutch fan and the small electric fan in front of the radiator and ran good for like 2 months and then last night it did it again. It had a new thermostat and system had been flushed too so now I am stumped but I scanned it a few days ago and it was the u1000 or the ipdm engine room fuse box code popped up so you think it make have something to do ? I’m still new to these cars
for my g I parked it for a while and all of a sudden I had a couple dashboard lights that came on that were never there like the slip sign the vdc sign and the service engine soon and I would click the vdc button to turn it off and it would stay and all of a sudden the slip and vdc signs came off but the service engine soon it still on there why would this happen?
Did your upstream 02 sensors go out when you had OEM catalytic converters or when you switched to MD Art pipes? I got two codes P2a03 P2a00 a month or so after. Installing Art pipes could it be the art pipes or just the 12 year old 02 sensors gone bad, My 2006 G has 105,xxx Thank You
I had test pipes before MD ART pipes. The ART pipes I put on at 117k and the sensors went bad at 130k miles in 2015. It is most likely your sensors old age. My codes when my 02 sensors went bad: Found: 2 codes! ********** P1283,A/F Sensor Lean shift (Bank 2 Sensor 1) ********** P1273,A/F Sensor Lean shift (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
Yes mine are also a lean code for the upstream 02 sensors. Heard you say in the video you changed the upstream but you were still getting a code. Would you suggest changing the upstreams or downstreams or all of them Lol???
mistuh Christian your car's ECM is looking for changes in the exhaust air/fuel byproduct before and after the cats. Except you dont have any cats! Test pipes and art pipes, they do not and are incapable performing the duties of catalytic converters. Get some high flow cats and new oxygen senors. Your problem will be solved. Those parts are for racing applications or are only for use in states that dont legally require emmision control devices!
Hey motordyne I have a question, I’m experiencing some type of problems with my g35. I just got a brand new exedy clutch. Before I had some disengagement issues so the car wasn’t fully disengaging. So then I adjusted the pedal and it ended up working and fixed the solution but now I also found out that if I push in the clutch it doesn’t disengage right away. It’ll take maybe a second or so for the rpms to drop after pushing in the clutch so I can’t shift until that happens otherwise I’ll grind. You have any ideas what the problem could be?
Adjusting the pedal is not what you need to do. When you replaced the clutch, did you replace the slave cylinder? My video on doing it here........th-cam.com/video/jHpRnibzmjo/w-d-xo.html What year is your G35? How many miles? Have you ever changed the gearbox oil before? Late model 05's and after got the CD009 gearbox which has stronger syncro. My gear box is a CD009 and not a CD001. Old syncros take longer to engage gears, so you have to shift slower to allow them to engage, which is a sign your syncros are going out. Most likely 3rd gear is going out for you? ? ?
Awesome informative and real lly useful review. I wonder if this is comparable or how this compares to what dealerships promote to have a full service record if you use them every time. Also how many man hours would you guestimate you put into servicing yourself? This gives a paper pusher some idea of total parts, maintenance and labor. It could be not as good. The internet thanks you.
Did I miss it, in your G35 Repair Journal, you list the date and repairs done but not the prices you paid, or do you place that info elsewhere in your book? Very detailed and informative Information. I am considering buying one like yours! Thumbs UP and Thanks!
Man your just like me with my 2008 infiniti M45 sport. nothing but love and strict maintenance for my car. seriously I have owned alot of different cars and my infiniti is by far the best I have owned. I have 101,000 miles now and hope I get 200,000 plus out of her. what engine oil did you use that whole time? I'm bias to Mobil 1 high mileage full synthetic. that stuff has never let me down. apparently M45S IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY ARE KNOW TO GO 250, 000 MILES PLUS.
That means your fuel pump is 13 years old, really 14 years now. No mine didn't fail, but anything over 150,000 miles is on borrowed time. Worse case, you will just be stranded somewhere. New fuel pump is $280. Tow truck is $100. If you wait, you will be buying both when it happens to you.
Understand that. This is my second car and I have roadside assistance (free tows) with State Farm . Used them twice (radiator let go last year). I'll wait.
Remember, you can never check your oil level enough. Every 500 or 1,000 miles you should be checking. Especially, if you drive the G hard.
Okay, so like i totally understand what you mean that g owner should be checking their oil all the time since its known to have a high oil consumption, I was lucky enough to put oil in before it goes out last week cause i haven't checked it in a while, but like when i go start my car, when i have my keys in the on position i can see a engine oil icon, but it never lights up when im low on engine oil, is it something infiniti make?

Out here in Montgomery County, MD you'd be surprised how many rich heads neglect their cars, and think driving in the rain is a "better way" to wash off road debris. Meanwhile, they all think my 04' G35 is a brand new car LMAO! Like nope! I just take care of my shit.
On that note, I can give a fuck about the chassis as I always rip the chassis out for new ones; new suspension; as I build drift and track cars. #EastCoastVQs #VQNation #DriftLife
Excellent documentation and great looking car! I have a 2007 g35 rwd sedan - it drives and shifts like a brand new car. It was owned by a lady who kept it in excellent condition. Got it at 76k and now has 118k. Always replaced the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-30. I have driven new cars (2016 maxima, Altima, 2014 335i, 2016 Camry, 2014 Corolla) and my car drives smoother, shifts better (besides the maxima cvt), also just purchased a 2015 q50 sport which is a good car but I enjoy my g35 more. I will be getting a radiator flush in a month, and transmission flush. Solid cars - I do wish the interior quality was better (serious need)
Was watching videos on cost of ownership of cars I like, this one is just really inspirational 👍
Infinity just nails it. There made to be driven in a sporty way. Also timmimg chain engines. No timmimg belt crap! My 2008 M45s is about to turn 100,000 and just did a full tune up and fluids. Hope it last 170.000 or more cause it's truely one of my top 5 dream cars. That's awesome you kept a log on your car btw. I kinda do the same.
Thank you! Yep, timing belts are stupid. Did you see my upload yesterday on the M45? th-cam.com/video/NnvNpA3nL6A/w-d-xo.html
Dude, fuck timing belts dude. Wish my TL 6MT never came timing belt.
This is one of the most well kept cars I’ve seen
My 07 has 88k and I'm trying to keep it low as she's not my daily. Must say your g is sweet! The sound is incredible. Keep posting as this g is my fave of all time
I've had mine from 18k to 180k, and one hub, hood hinge, cat, engine, steering shaft joint, cam sensor, window motor, fuel pump.... soo yea
I just got my 05 sedan rev up at 170xxx just did all fluids thanks to your vids you are my hero
she still running?
Congrats on those numbers man💪🏻👊🏻
Dude you inspired me to get one of these, just bought an 05 coupe, stick. Will give an update in 1000 miles but so far it has been well... more fun than any car I’ve driven. Ever.
It only gets better. By far the best mod is the Motordyne Shockwave and Motordyne ART pipes. The car transforms exoctic as much as it possibly can.
Motordyne G35 yea man it sounds amazing with those on. I gotta take care of the rear wheel bearings but after that I’m gonna upgrade the exhaust, put a new intake on and get a tune. Possibly will also get that one weird spacer thing done with the engine cover idk what it is but my friend told me about it. He says two of the cylinders come kinda restricted. You heard of what he’s talking about?
@@tylerwaterman9442 ...well you have a 6MT like I do. So the 5/16th spacer only works when paired with MREV2. Yes, your friend is right. It is cylinder 1 and 2 that get starved for air. They are at the very front of the engine.
@@tylerwaterman9442 ...oh yeah, I forgot to say congrats on getting a G!
What an awesome video bro, u have her looking brand new after all these years. I'm going to hit 175 k on mine probably on my next trip to work so u are right man if u take care of the G she will take care of u. I hope u have another decade with that beast she is definitely beautiful.
Like that you documented everything you done in a binder
201,334 - 05 350z Touring and still going strong!
geeze man your very detailed oriented lol
Im in AZ too, maybe one day we can meet once I get my g35 looking nice...
i like your car maintenance log book, ill start to do that too:)
Awesome video cant wait till I get the funds for one and a motordyne exhaust
My G35 has 265k...still runs strong!!!
Thank you for making this video man! I am going to buy a 2007 350Z this weekend, and I am nervous about it because I normally never spend money! (I would get a g35 but I'm a single graduate student with not much stuff and I never move things, so I don't really need the back seats).
how did the purchase go? I bought a 2004 350z convertible last year. it had been sitting for 7 years in a garage only started once a week. great car and has only gotten better after breaking in again.
@@ghostman76015 Dude, it was a crazy story... basically the 350Z I wanted was sold, but they sold me a rebuilt title 370Z Touring for $10k..... what a great purchase that was! I miss my 370Z... I eventually traded it for a Infiniti Q50, which is nice, but I def miss the Z.
Dude you have the absolute coolest best most organized log of anything and everything and all information to the point where it makes my mouth water , sick just grabbed a 37s I grab it tm I’m amped !!!!!
Hi-TechGaming23 ....thank you! Nice choice and congratulations on getting a G37!
Motordyne G35 thanks man any besides oil mainly what do you rec me going ahead and servicing , I would assume things like throttle body cleaning and such ???
My video on what Oil to use according the lab results on a used oil anaylsis......th-cam.com/video/acaKSlA4o40/w-d-xo.html
If you touch the butterfly on the throttle you will have to do the idle relearn, my video here.....th-cam.com/video/TZJfWQLGUZI/w-d-xo.html
Motordyne G35 thanks appreciate the reply’s and I will watch and learn !
i’m looking to buy a 177,000 mile 04 g35 coupe for 4,500, what do you think ?
Issac Gonzalez in my own opinion i think that’s a little too much for 177k miles
i know this comment is old.. but for anyone else in the same situation, that price is way too high even if it has mods at that mileage you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the mods for too long
Issac Gonzalez i got a 07 g35 sedan with 161k for $5000
My friend is selling a bmw for 3,000 is that good
Issac: (10 months ago) and if it is running fine and has a good service record I suspect you've already bought it, I think that was a pretty good deal.
Owner of a 03 350Z since new only big repair Bill was a Clutch ....only has 87K on it great car as a daily driver ..although I drive only in the summer had the chance to Drive a 05 G35 car is loose not even close what I expected .... quick power in 1st gear ,
your clutch went out fast
Man, when I first got mine, not even 2 days in, oil cooler and valve cover gasket went out. Causing me to lose all my oil at once. It sounded like a water hose. But motor is practically new, it's 80k miles. New clutch, everything stock. But find out it's got a stage 2 tune, so stage 2 CAI, stage 2 clutch. It's all stock but the exhaust makes popping noises which is sick. Haha
Great video! I have a 2009 G35 Coupe. Do you know any good repair shops here in Southern CA that I can trust with my car? I don’t have the skills you have. Too many claim to know how to fix this car but don’t do it correctly. I think the Cam sensor is bad.
Thank god I found you ‼️‼️
Just got my G35 back from my son. I got work to do. Great vid. 😅
Got her looking really good man!!
That underpass. Was that Phoenix Arizona?
I just purchased a Infinity M35 Sport and the thing has me paranoid. but it does need very little work. I have the whole statement from the dealership with. 25 point inspection and was wondering if you do live in Arizona would you mind taking a look at it for me.
12:23 holy shit. I've been looking relentlessly for a fix for the SAME EXACT issue. I wish you would've supplied the code, hopefully you got the same one.. "P1283 Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Lean Shift Monitoring Bank 2"
When my buddies and I tried diagnosing this, we assumed it was the AF sensors too. (He says he changed the O2 sensors BEFORE the cats first) Although yes, those are O2 sesnors, I got sold O2 sensors when really I needed to O2 sensors BEFORE the cat... They call them AF sensors and they're about the same price. Excuse my cluttered thought, I read a diagram wrong and ended up changing the AF sensor on the passenger side, instead of the driver side.. The code eventually came back which lead me to believe that I changed the wrong one. So I went ahead and changed the other AF sensor. Code came back and I said, "Screw it. My car must just be running rich because of my aftermarket exhaust" Thankfully right at 12:23, our boy at Motordyne describes the same exact issue and how he resolved it..! Which btw the fix was the O2 sensors, not the AF sensors. (AF=Air Fuel and for those that don't know, AF sensors are before the cat, and O2 sensors are after the cat) Happily noted man! Gonna swap out both of those O2 sensors shortly here, and hopefully I can stop driving around with that damn check engine light.
idk how you keep making content. I love it.
Mines at 75k. Replaced all fluids and belts. Is there anything else to replace soon? I'm thinking clutch + flywheel are on their way out, then maybe spark plugs at 100k. Do most people need to rebuild their diff?
I’m at 234K on the dash, engines never been opened. Beat the crap out of it everyday, wonderful car. Uprev tuned making 273whp
%
I bought a motordyne plenum spacer and a 75MM throttle body. I was planning to put them on right away and the tune would have to wait since I’m running a bit of a tight schedule for it. (It’ll be an e tune) I’m at 151k miles almost 152. Should I be alright running w the mods? Because I was gonna do these sorts of maintenance and install an oil catch can right after I install both engine mods.
I don't think the power steering pump was mentioned. The OEM pumps are very expensive. Would you personally get a remanufactured or used one from a used parts dealer?
Where or how or what would you do for interior replacement? Just keep watching eBay or something for OEM parts? Feeling pretty down on finding parts.
I have a 2008 Infiniti G 35 with 125k miles what do u think drove great during test drive took a mechanic said it was a great car wasn’t leaking anything
Question--Why do all the G37's and the g35's that don't have the seat controls in the seat have warped and damaged thigh support in the drivers seat on the left side? Can these be repaired without buying a new seat. Thanks.
I got a G35 at 191k miles and I did a compression 4 days ago. Came out at 180psi across the board doing 5 ignition starts with #4 at 190psi, but I did 6 on that one. Just do the typical car maintenance, and that baby will continue to pull like it did years ago, maybe not exactly as hard, but you get the point. Just don't be a jackass all the time and it's a damn good reliable car.
That sounds really good
My 07 G35 Sedan is at 220K miles.
Replaced Transmission @170. Low on liquid so "my fault".
Replaced AC compressor -600$ at 200K miles.
Replaced Cat Converter -500$
That's all for major components..
Dude I need some advice I found a 07 g35 coupe 86k miles. And I’m planning to mods the car too! it’s in excellent condition. Question. Is the miles too high?
Damn my 02 altima 3.5 never any of those issues and I drove that thing hard, only had 170,000KM on it though before she got into an accident
this March. :(
Granted HR vs DE so slightly different but oh well sometimes you just get lucky. Looking forward to grabbing my G37 Coupe tomorrow. :)
Hey man congrats on keeping your ride up to date. Hey i just purchased an 08 g37s. How hard is it to change the spark plugs? Will it be the same as the g35? Is it something i can do my self with basic knowledge? Thanks
Should I be concerned about buying a g35 with 170k miles
Not at all. 300k very common as long as you check the oil levels.
U really had a lot of spare time👍🎉
Got my 04 g35 coupe in December, automatic (don’t hate) with 54k miles . It was babied but man oh man does it hall ass, I don’t run it hard but when I do it runs. So far I’ve only had to do an oil change and change the alternator belt but getting the brake rotors and pads changed soon. Clean lookin G 👌💯
Congrats on getting a G! No hate at all and let me know if you have problems down the road. I can help!
How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I literally am looking at one same year and milege tomorrow!!!
i noticed next to nobody washes aftermarket intake filters... lol... im not looking forward to cleaning my g37 cold air filters... have to remove the bumper to take em off... ugh
Great content man. Im a big fan of the g35 coupes and can't wait to get one after deployment this year. Any personal advice on which year would be less of a headache?
Jordan Dennis after 06. The HRs are a lot better. (07-08)
Even though I own 2005, I recommend either a 06 or 07. I've converted to 06-07 projector headlights and I got lucky with the CD009 gearbox with a late model 2005. 06-07 came with CD009 gearbox on all the manuals.
Thanks for the replies. I'll look into the 06-07 model when Im back home.
Isn’t the CD009 prone to slave cylinder issues lol?
But anything’s better than the 03-05 trans with the 3 rd gear grind
Are parts expensive for it? I want to either get a 370 or a g37. Knowing the Infinity is a luxury brand, how much more are the parts for it compared to Nissans?
I have a 5AT 07 G35 Sedan(120k mi). What do i need to get or do to the car to get 300 wheel horsepower out of the V36? I'm not trying to go FI just yet since its my daily at the moment. It's also my first car and I plan to keep it forever.
I once owned a Vauxhall Vectra ( the uncoolest car in the UK ) and did 170k miles in 6 years. In that time the only fault was a stone through the air conditioning condenser. Other than this only routine maintenance needed.
Oil change every 10k. Major service every 40k. Brake discs lasted 120k and the tires did 50k per set. The cheapest working car I’ve owned but a lot more dull than your Infinity 😁
My 2004 g sedan has been over heating at idle with the ac on I replaced the clutch fan and the small electric fan in front of the radiator and ran good for like 2 months and then last night it did it again. It had a new thermostat and system had been flushed too so now I am stumped but I scanned it a few days ago and it was the u1000 or the ipdm engine room fuse box code popped up so you think it make have something to do ? I’m still new to these cars
for my g I parked it for a while and all of a sudden I had a couple dashboard lights that came on that were never there like the slip sign the vdc sign and the service engine soon and I would click the vdc button to turn it off and it would stay and all of a sudden the slip and vdc signs came off but the service engine soon it still on there why would this happen?
How did you replace the Bose head unit? Did you reuse speakers and amp? Thanks.
hello, how much did all the repairs and replacements cost? and how much did it cost with the mods?
This is 👍👍👍👍👍
Have you had any axle clicking problems on your car? Mine recently started doing it.
Does anyone know if the manual transmissions are known to brake in those cars? I have a 2004 Coupe 6mt with 120k miles and am curious what to expect.
Did your upstream 02 sensors go out when you had OEM catalytic converters or when you switched to MD Art pipes?
I got two codes
P2a03
P2a00 a month or so after. Installing Art pipes could it be the art pipes or just the 12 year old 02 sensors gone bad, My 2006 G has 105,xxx
Thank You
I had test pipes before MD ART pipes. The ART pipes I put on at 117k and the sensors went bad at 130k miles in 2015. It is most likely your sensors old age.
My codes when my 02 sensors went bad:
Found: 2 codes!
**********
P1283,A/F Sensor Lean shift (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
**********
P1273,A/F Sensor Lean shift (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
Yes mine are also a lean code for the upstream 02 sensors. Heard you say in the video you changed the upstream but you were still getting a code. Would you suggest changing the upstreams or downstreams or all of them Lol???
mistuh Christian your car's ECM is looking for changes in the exhaust air/fuel byproduct before and after the cats. Except you dont have any cats! Test pipes and art pipes, they do not and are incapable performing the duties of catalytic converters. Get some high flow cats and new oxygen senors. Your problem will be solved. Those parts are for racing applications or are only for use in states that dont legally require emmision control devices!
Do any alternators , starters and radiators automatically come with life time warranty or certain brands ? Thanks
Where did you buy all your parts? Much respect
Hey motordyne I have a question, I’m experiencing some type of problems with my g35. I just got a brand new exedy clutch. Before I had some disengagement issues so the car wasn’t fully disengaging. So then I adjusted the pedal and it ended up working and fixed the solution but now I also found out that if I push in the clutch it doesn’t disengage right away. It’ll take maybe a second or so for the rpms to drop after pushing in the clutch so I can’t shift until that happens otherwise I’ll grind. You have any ideas what the problem could be?
Adjusting the pedal is not what you need to do. When you replaced the clutch, did you replace the slave cylinder? My video on doing it here........th-cam.com/video/jHpRnibzmjo/w-d-xo.html
What year is your G35? How many miles? Have you ever changed the gearbox oil before? Late model 05's and after got the CD009 gearbox which has stronger syncro. My gear box is a CD009 and not a CD001. Old syncros take longer to engage gears, so you have to shift slower to allow them to engage, which is a sign your syncros are going out. Most likely 3rd gear is going out for you? ? ?
Awesome informative and real lly useful review. I wonder if this is comparable or how this compares to what dealerships promote to have a full service record if you use them every time. Also how many man hours would you guestimate you put into servicing yourself? This gives a paper pusher some idea of total parts, maintenance and labor. It could be not as good. The internet thanks you.
Just curious, at what point did you experience the camshaft/crankshaft sensor failure that seems to plague all of our engines?
SpideySensei72 ......first at 70k miles, then again at 140k. Yeah it is very common.
Did I miss it, in your G35 Repair Journal, you list the date and repairs done but not the prices you paid, or do you place that info elsewhere in your book? Very detailed and informative Information. I am considering buying one like yours! Thumbs UP and Thanks!
That was one expensive trip to California btw
Hey, love your vids. With reference to the fuel pump, did you ever experience the fuel gauge dropping under E and stop working?
I have an 06 manual coupe all stock and oh man I want that exhaust.
You do the repairs yourself so it’s cheaper for you? I have a g37 so I have to pay someone
wow..good g35 coupe! nice to meet you.
Man your just like me with my 2008 infiniti M45 sport. nothing but love and strict maintenance for my car. seriously I have owned alot of different cars and my infiniti is by far the best I have owned. I have 101,000 miles now and hope I get 200,000 plus out of her. what engine oil did you use that whole time? I'm bias to Mobil 1 high mileage full synthetic. that stuff has never let me down. apparently M45S IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY ARE KNOW TO GO 250, 000 MILES PLUS.
Did the fuel pump actually fail? That's one I have not come across on the forms. My 05 sport coupe is @ 141k miles now.
That means your fuel pump is 13 years old, really 14 years now. No mine didn't fail, but anything over 150,000 miles is on borrowed time. Worse case, you will just be stranded somewhere. New fuel pump is $280. Tow truck is $100. If you wait, you will be buying both when it happens to you.
Also, check out my video on how to tell if you have a bad fuel pump....th-cam.com/video/vKFEq0cApNw/w-d-xo.html
Understand that. This is my second car and I have roadside assistance (free tows) with State Farm . Used them twice (radiator let go last year). I'll wait.
