5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying an Infiniti G35

  • As you all very well know the Infiniti G35 is by far my favorite car. Regardless here are five things about the Infiniti G35 that I wish I had known prior to buying one.
    1.Crankshaft positioning sensors are not a big deal. If you talk to anyone about the G35 than you will hear one of two things. Either it burns oil, or that the crank positioning sensors are going to fail on you. I'll address the oil burn later, but to start with, the crankshaft positioning sensors are no more of an issue on this platform than any other platform. In fact the Nissan 350z uses the same VQ35 engine and you never hear of it having crankshaft positioning problems.
    2. The VQ35HR engine does not have any issues with oil consumption. Earlier models of the G35 were said to burn through oil at an astonishing rate, and this is often cited as one of the main weaknesses of the engine, however this appears to have been fixed and does not apply to the later model years.
    3. No one will understand that the car is a rebadged Nissan Skyline. Like most car enthusiasts I love the Nissan Skyline. Unlike most car enthusiasts I actually own one. The G35 is a model of Nissan Skyline that was sold in North America as an Infiniti. Do not try explaining this to people because they will not understand anyway. The fact is that the G37 and Q50 are also called Nissan Skylines in Japan.
    4. The parts from the 2009 Infiniti G37 are directly compatible. I wish I had known this sooner because it would definitely have saved me some headache when searching for parts.
    5. Ever riced out Honda Civic and Ford Mustang will pull up next to you while you are driving and bounce off of their rev limiter trying to race you. In fact every ricer regardless of what they drive will pull up alongside you and feel the need to redline their engine for no apparent reason.
    Thanks for reading and I hope you learned something useful from this. Import Life

    I bought an all black G37S 6MT Sedan last week and I didn’t realize the interior headliner was tan/beige instead of black. I noticed it while driving home from the previous owner’s house and now I can’t unsee it. I still love it anyway lol.

      Congrats on the car!! Hope your still loving it. You should make a video of what it takes to switch out the headliner that would be pretty cool. I'm sure people would love to watch that too because headliners tend to get beat up after a while. Really freshens the interior up.

Their also notorious for sensors failing like the vvt solenoid. Guys this guy is a total amatuer please do your reaearch. 🤦

      Yeah our first G was an 08 G35x and after that we needed another vehicle so I was shopping for an 09 g37 but found another 08 G35 sport 6mt for $10,000 with 90,000miles, unmolested well taken care of black with black leather interior. Had to jump on it. Any way the value of it is going up while our other one is depreciati g. The 6mt is so hard to find in the HR/VHR sedans. Imo it's perfect combo. I love our awd but with the 6mt and vlsd ( even though it only works as a lsd untill the fluid gets to hot and acts like an open dif) makes it a totally different experience. Only complaint is the clutch is by far the most numb feeling clutch iv ever driven. It will make you feel like you don't wtf your doing. Hard to drive smoothly in town. Use to drive a dump truck that was easier to drive smooth. Now for racing its alright.
      I already bought new z1 clutch and lightweight flywheel with z speed heavy duty CSC just need to install it. Heard it makes a big difference with clutch feel even with the lightweight flywheel. Also have ISR lth, invidia q300 cbe, z1 cai waiting to go on as well. Just need to get the uprev software/cable and IL be ready to put it all on.

      @presidentsad7217 Před 3 lety +9

      When I was 17 I got my 07 g35x from my dad's close friend. It was very well taken care of, but the first thing I had to do was replace the climate control module and that got rid of the check engine light. Also another thing to keep in mind, the 07 and newer Gs are pretty advanced, for example, it has dual throttle body and dual fuel pumps, and I suppose a neglected G could cause you a lot of problems. Overall the car is not hard to work on but please make sure you properly inspect the car before buying one, as for speed and power, the car has over 300 hp and for a sedan like this that's a lot quicker than most cars on the street, so be careful. Since this is your first car, don't be tempted to go fast, it is very easy to do so in this car. Obviously, i'm not saying you can't have fun, but don't make it a habit because running into the cops can have a serious effect on your driving record and insurance. That being said, having a quick car can get you out of some sticky situations, and the handling of the G is excellent, so if you're careful and not a retarded driver you'll be fine. If i had to complain about one thing, the gas mileage is pretty bad, and make sure you are ONLY using premium gas and change oil every 3k miles.

      I would say that it is a lot of upkeep but as long as your willing to put in the wrench time than the G35 is a great car. Definitely quick. As far as being too fast I would say the with the electronic traction control it is fairly stable as long as you dont turn it off. When the traction control is off it can get a little hairy.

The key is to find a well taken care of g35/37 then stay on top of checking the oil dipstick and topping the oil off in between oil changes if needed, don’t run the motor low on oil or trans. If manual trans than change the oil every 30k miles, if auto trans then make sure the oil is black, if it’s black that means it’s over do and at that point your better off not changing the oil until the tranny blows, also don’t flush trans oil because it will clog all the computers passages and cause the tranny to fail quickly. Just remember, black trans fluid means dont ever change it because it’s too late now, but if the fluid is still red or pink then change it every 30k miles.
