Cinder Hills Tacoma Off Road Trip Part 1
Part one of my adventure taking my 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road through the Cinder Hills OHV area near Flagstaff Arizona. This place is pretty sweet, it is over thirteen thousand acres of offroad trails and dunes that you can drive on with side by sides, 4x4's or ATV's! I imagine even dirt bikes would have a good time wheeling through these volcanic cinder dunes.

G35 Compression Test! Will the Infiniti Come Back to Life?
zhlédnutí 3,2KPřed 3 lety
My insta mikeyandrewsmith Hey everybody. Today we are doing a compression test on the Infiniti G35 in order to see if the engine truly is blown or if we are going to be able to keep running her. This was our first time doing a compression check on this engine so we really did not know what to expect. The Infiniti service manual says that a healthy VQ35 engine should be making between 185psi and...
Why I Detuned My G35 back to 300hp
zhlédnutí 637Před 3 lety
Hey everybody. Thanks for watching Import Life. Some of you that have been following me for a while may be wondering why I detuned my Infiniti G35 back to stock. It was pushing out a reliable 387 hp for a few months but lately I just did not feel like it was the right power level for the car. I removed my catback HKS performance exhaust and a couple other parts. It is still making over 300hp at...

Hey guys we took a trip up to Salt Lake this weekend to do some shredding in Park City Utah at the Park City Mountain Resort. We had an absolute blast carving down the mountain. This is probably the last season for my DC boots and board with my ride bindings. There was a ton of snow really early in the year this year so the Park City Mountain Resort was able to open early.

Don't Ride Mcdowell Mountain Arizona Mountain Biking!!!

Welcome back everybody! Today we rode some mountain biking trails at Mcdowell Mountain in Arizona just north of Phoenix. I will say that this was some of the most intense, technical, and slow moving singletrack trails that we have ever ridden. There was no flowy downhill sections, and the ride was extremely difficult. I definitely would not recommend attempting this ride without planning accord...

Ceramic Coating a Car in Under Ten Minutes!
The majority of Nissan Skyline GT-R models did come equipped with over 300 horsepower from the factory. The Nissan Skyline GT-R is known for its powerful engine and performance capabilities. The R32, R33, and R34 generations of the Nissan Skyline GT-R, produced from 1989 to 2002, all had engines that exceeded 300 horsepower. The R32 GT-R had a 2.6L inline 6-cylinder engine that produced 276 hp. The R33 GT-R had a 2.6L engine producing around 276 hp as well. The R34 GT-R, produced from 1999 to 2002, had a 2.6L twin-turbo engine that generated 276 hp. So in summary, while there may have been some special or limited edition Skyline GT-R variants that had slightly less than 300 hp, the majority of standard production models across the R32, R33, and R34 generations did come equipped with over 300 horsepower from the factory.
lol the sensors are easy to get to in the hr
what modifications have you done to get your g to 400
I watched the whole vid waiting for him to get in the skyline
I bet this poor lil HR or DE is long gone now lol. A 5.0 demolishes any vq unless boosted. Mathematically can be calculated lol if both are stock*
This is great not much people use tilt shift but should be implemented for cars cause it gives a good sense of length of the car
Just so ya know "mountain" has a "t" in it.
G35 and g37 is same frame same everything just different motor
Try reading the specifics wise guy 😂
Good video i feel the same about mine
Have you taken it off any sweet jumps?
Is the Infiniti G35/G37 a reliable everyday driver, is it expensive to fix wen it breaks ?
Not a run in sight. Unless you count running your mouth 😅
Got my 03 g35 sedan love it had it since may no check engine lights quick asf and def a sleeper on the road
Just hate how there’s not to much aftermarket parts for the 4dr and the g35 2dr coupe has a lot more parts ext and int wise
The only things that broke on my 159k mile 07g35x is the right headlight ballast and the left exhaust manifold o2 holder/ distended threading.
im trying to find a 6mt manual sedan g37 but the g35's with the 6mt are easier to find
Im definitely happy with my 07 G35s. The HR is great stock and responds even better with K&N drop ins and an exhaust. Took it to the amateur drags and kept up with like 90% of the cars there.
Yooo keep posting
😂😂😂
Did u put a drop of oil in the chamber b4 testing?
I love my G , I can't imagine myself owning another brand. The Q60 coupe got my attention these days
'...every time it rains take the wheels off to wire brush the rust off the rotors...' SERIOUSLY?
Thats too much work. I just use the brakes a little bit
If you sliding get the g37 the girls love a clean shit box 😭🕺🏼
If return parts,no way out,so much round and round,big FYI.
What year did they fix the oil consumption? I’m looking into getting a 2008 Infiniti g35.
Where part 2?
I think the 5at is a more sporty acting trans but the 7at is faster especially in higher gears ..4th and 5th in the 5at is slow asf and I think that the g37 2010+ is way more aggressive than the 07-09 body styles and the bumpers are the same and stance lol but hey good video
i think theres a trasgo kit for the 5 speed havent tried it yet but heard it really wakes up the trans
Is it hard to do cps on these cars I did mine in like 15 minutes on my mustang I also have a G
Its not the crank shaft... they are camshaft sensors
The worst dipstick ever! Changing the headlights is ridiculous! The worst car that I've ever driven in the snow.Its 98% useless! Good thing that I live in the warmest part of Canada but it's mountainous. It's only got a key lock on the driver's side door and nowhere else.Great for when your key fob doesn't work! Even with the BS I still enjoy driving it.
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.
Cluster issues have led many people down the rabbit hole of this is wrong ..oops...no that's wrong...if your fuel gauge reads faulty...or turn signals not showing as on....manumatic mode not working...check your cluster...the dealer will rabbit hole your wallet over this..."oh you need fuel pump sender"..."trans sensor faulty"...etc. when in fact the cluster is part of the CAN network and ties it all together...funny enough...they used crap solder on the cluster that's known to fail....ask me how I know 😂
130 not to good……230 its the goal for a healthy motor
Hahaha those number aren’t healthy dude is bad
He checked the manual, 230 is high as hell
No, sir. 230 is bad news for the VQ35DE. Cold, you should be looking at 180, tops. Below 140ish you need to do a leak down and start worrying about rings, head gaskets, and valvetrain related issues. 120 & lower, you definitely have trouble
I have an 08 g35 had it for 50k miles from 50-100k, oil changes every 5k miles and it's always full when I go to change it
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?
Get a G37
Used motors are 1,500. Probably your cheapest option.
No one should be ripping on a young guy for trying to do somthing themselves. With that being said it's still sad to see anyone not do any research first or read instructions. Concidering how huge of a resource youtube is. We all learn better from our mistakes than being ripped on for fucking up.
That means you put two supper charges in it!
1.)You have absolutely no clue how to make a youtube video. 2.) You have absolutely no clue how to paint an exhaust pipe. 3.) Please find out how to do things before you upload garbage. 4.) VHT High Temperature paint works perfect if you know how to use it (read the instruction manual)
Thanks for the info just got a 2008 infiniti g35 sedan sport... love it so far cant wait to customize it later on
@5:07 takes off at 2mph 😂 😂 love it
ahhhh that is interesting, I heard that the G35 was originally supposed to be branded as a Nissan Skyline but Nissan decided that it would the Infiniti badge better, not sure, but when I search up the Infiniti counterparts in Japan its weird seeing that 2018 Skyline with the front of a Maxima and the rear or the Q sedan
Actually, the reason for it being called Infinity in the states is because Japan had an exclusive rights of keeping the Skyline and variants and the name Skyline strictly Japan only for 25 years. They didn't want private owners buying up the cars, No Japan Skylines were sold outside Japan. Thus rebranding it every where else as the G35. The biggest difference between the Japan and US versions is that US doesn't have the twin turbo option.
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 🤦🏻♂️
Dude you should probably take this down 😂 😂
Literally was questioning this myself
My car runs rich and I get the p0300 code on & off I did a compression test today and all cylinders were 130-140 idk what it could be that’s causing that random misfire 😅
Take the coil from the misfiring cylinder and swap it to another and see if it follows to that cylinder, if it does you have a bad coil. If it doesn’t and stays on the same cylinder, you have a bad spark plug.
@@sickassperro replaced all coils and spark plugs it’s still misfiring till today
@@donttrip1514you ever figure out what it is?
@@STLAutoStyles nope 🙂↔️ still getting p0300 till this day
@@donttrip1514 does it run/idle rough? Not full power or hesitation?
Must admit though, that a good quality powdercoating job is like nuthin' else.. Yeah, if you follow all the instructions and use the right paint and the right process can get decent result blah blah blah... But ifyou got the money and a powdercoat shop nearly that is definitely the way to go IMHO
Is this still for sale?
Guardavo video di del sol, mi è capitato questo video, hai fatto veramente un lavoro di merda
Lol
lol "bunch of JDM Japanese noodles" pulls out a bunch of nongshim Koreans be pissed haha
Y’all could just say you didn’t wanna spend a little more money😂
