1. Oil (pull up records, or if they changed themselves, be mindful.)
2. Check valve covers for oil. If any oil residue or smell burning oil, the covers have to be changed (can mark the car down for this)
3. Turn on the car. Make sure ur not blowing white smoke. White smoke is bad vibes.
4. Any mods. Make sure the mods are not harming the car. Also tuning. If tuned by a reputable tuner, could be a potential buy. If not, decline car.
5. Interior: door locks. Window motors. AC/HEAT run thru every mode. Make sure they all work. Make sure radio works. Steering wheel analogs (cruise control) make sure they work.
6. Control arms. If they’re leaning towards frame, they’re shot. An ez fix. Can mark down a little bit.
7. Drivetrain. Make sure it starts up. If it doesnt, starter prolly going bad (dont buy). If spark plugs are bad, ez fix. At idle/rev if idle drops, there is a vacuum leak, ez fix. Oil light are BAD vibes. If there are any engine lights, ask what is is.
8. Transmission. Test all gears, if they go into gear, good trans. Test at 3-4k rpm. If it goes into gear, good if not, bad. If any grinding, transmission is bad. 03-04 trans are bad. Go up to 05-06 trans.
9. Steering. Important to know, could be control arms or couldve been in a wreck.
If white smoke that's bad? Why? That's just too much engine oil right?
@@dd_jewan1922 bad head gasket causing coolant to go into the engine mixing with the oil
Can you explain the transmission a lil better im new to this. What do yhu mean on the last sentence saying 03-04 trans are bad. Go up to 05-06 trans. Do yhu mean year of the car (03-04)? Or the gear ratios?
This video might as well be called “what to check before buying any car” he didn’t even cover real problems of this actual car lmao. Didn’t talk about the cam sensors, crank sensor. Also don’t know why he said “u can mark the pride down if the valve covers leak and just say hey nissan charges 800” who takes their car to the dealership to do a valve cover change. If you’re buying a tuner car you gotta have the basics of doing mechanical work, valve cover change is not hard.
what bout the 07 trans
going through all of these comments and i noticed how involved he is with his subscribers, it’s crazy. Wish we could get an updated video though
I bought a 2004 model because didn’t want the burning oil rev up engine. Overall I love the car. It looks fresh even in 2023. Truly timeless.
I go an 04 the beginning of this year and unfortunately oil consumption is a feature of VQs lmao
Saving up for this car and this was extremely helpful as this would be my first car purchase as I was gifted my first car by my grandma so knowing all these things to watch out for helps a ton, still got about a year to save up for it but I finally have a goal in life
Keep saving man! I just bought mine the other day and it’s only a sedan but still all the fun!
@@jaydenmarko166 fr?
@@Trevonexz FR fr. Most fun car you can attain for a decent price. Has its dinks like any other vehicle but the smile it puts on my face when I’m on the gas does al the justice for me
I’m in the same exact situation
Same boat, I'm saving for a manual.cabt wait
I'm gonna look at a g tomorrow and this is the most informative vid I've seen so thank you fr
Video starts at 3:10
Thank you so much. I'm late asf
Enjoy watching your channel 👌 Great vibes
keep it going bro!
Thanks bro ❤️🤟🏽
Thank you for the video it is so very informative keep up the good work!!!!!
so underrated bro! U have a follow
Great video 🔥
Ty for the advice bro. ✌️👍💯
It's so hard finding a manual with decent exterior and interior
Something else to look/listen for is the rear diff. I just bought a g and didn't notice the rear diff whining and now i gotta replace it soon.
The g35 is a beautiful car!
Check for any leaks make sure the windows roll up and down proper
Make sure the suspension is good
Drive the car make sure it start up with no problem and both head lights works lol
I just bought 04 g35 couple automatic everything works fine with me there is nothing wrong at all run great with 166000 miles I love ❤️ it
J got a 08 g35 w the same miles j have an exaust leak 😂
I'm buying a 04 g35 couple auto 168,000 miles but only did wrong is oil is burning
What else should I look for
Hopefully picking up a 06 G35 end of this week. Great maintenance, bunch of replaced wear out parts, 145k miles but almost all highway, almost no rust, aftermarket rev9 catback, stage 2 competitive clutch, swapped headlights. Selling from 5000. Sounds good?
Sounds like a good deal to me if all the maintenance was maintained!
This man really say 2 POINT 1
When you mention blowing white smoke do you mean on startup or when accelerating?
Step 1: see a g35 coupe in real life
Step 2: gets curious about a g35 coupe
Step 3: does research on a g35 coupe
Step 4: watch CZcams videos on G35
Step 5: compares the differences
Step 6: searches for a decent price
Step 7: call up dealerships and privates
Step 8: negotiation
Step 9: no call backs
Step 10: all of them are sold out
Step 11: someone beat me to it
Step 12: repeat steps 1 through 12
Bro I literally been going through This same process literally annoying. Wish I could be driving it today for my birthday 🤦🏾♂️
I've seen an '07 G35 coupe with 102k miles in blue around my area that I've been eyeballing lately. Should I bite the bullet and take the chance?
2003, 154k miles, cost 4999$ but has a touchscreen and clean body
Lol meanwhile in cali we paying upwards $5 a gallon for premium , and he stressing bout a $2-3 range of gas
Yooo bro so you say if it blows smoke is that only on cold start or like a all day thing? And when ur driving is that when it smokes? Or just idling?
Bruh you was Bruce b downs lol we gotta link I got my Vq a few days ago
CRE8TIVEGARAGE approved 🏎
Who asked
Hi you are very good exactly any my bloblem infinity g 35 2003 thanks .so now i got all that bl
i’m looking at a 04 g35 6mt with 120k miles , Carbon Hood & trunk , coils , 370 wheels , black interior , muffler delete everything seems to be decent condition would 9k be too much ?
looking at the gas prices in this vid makes me cry in 5$ a gallon
My 08 G35X in mint condition not tuned up but running very well at 140,000 miles I would love to race u
Dang watching this video from Cali 2022 and gas is like 5 dollars a gallon crazy seeing it compared to 2 dollars lol
It went up for us as well in Florida to $4 a gallon .
How low is your car? because I like it
Just copped me a 05 g35 sedan and oh boy is it good
how much did you pay and how many miles
Nice
Need ur input, buying a 04 6 speed g35 this week for 4.3k, already drove it and check it, apparently he put a engine with 87k in the shell and the odo is 137k from OG engine, coolant temp gauge on dash does not work, need passenger side window motor as it’s stuck at a certain point, definitely need alignment and new set of lug nuts. Did not see any leaks or damage underneath, it drove and pulled fine and the motor sounded very healthy. Is it a good deal? Or should I just buy another Miata haha? LMK ASAP PLS…
You def want the coolant temp to work if you do buy it. I’ve overheated plentiful times from air bubbles in my coolant system. Ofc if you do it properly in the first place you don’t have to worry about it but
2.1 for premium gas holy shit. Here in LA its basically 5 dollars a gallon damn
-How many miles is too many?
-VQ35 DE or HR? Or case by case basis with oil issues per car?
-How many miles is too many?
-Auto transmission all good? Manuals are rare to find in my country
I’d say anything more then 140K miles is pushing it.
my 2003 g35 coupe has had some oil problems and a ticking noise coming from engine, and it has white smoke from the exhaust, can anyone confirm whether or not it’s the piston rings?
10:09 move out? Lol If you leave florida Good Luck With The Rust that will hit your car pretty good
Man I'm buying an auto G35 04 168k miles for $3,500 but he says the oil burns and I'm going to go buy it and tmr what else should I look for
What wheels do you have on ur car
Got an 07 g35x 115k stock for 6-6.5k what you think?
What intake is that dude
Right now premium is 4.01 where i live 🙁
That exhaust sound good..what is that? I need one for mine
Stock , shit got a loud exhaust
@@Ahpocalypse Do your ears work properly bruh? Aint NO WAY this a stock exhaust. Or if it is stock hes done a res/muffler delete forsure.
@@FC3_RIPPER I have the same car lmao it’s loud asf it sounds like it’s a straight pipe with a stock exhaust
@@FC3_RIPPER he does have an intake tho which makes it a bit louder
I’m considering buying a 2004 g35x sedan with around 125k miles on it. Any thoughts???
0 info in your post which helps. Mileage alone isn't a good indicator.
What year is this
Great video and way to explain everything 💯, I’m planning on buying one soon #305
36 for a full tank ? oh how the times have changed..
I am looking at a g35 that has 170,000 miles on the body and 103,000 on the motor for $5,500. He says it runs and drives the brakes might need replaced soon. Good deal or no?
Just make sure the person isn’t lying to you about the motor. But the price is pretty high for that g35.
@@tridentfd8482 He has paperwork from the dealer to prove that the engine was swapped. What do you think I should offer him and any problems I should look for?
Because the chassis has so many miles on it I’ll prolly offer him $3,800-$4,000. Also you should look to see if the suspension is in good condition because it has so many miles and check for oil leaks on the engine. If you could, ask the person if they can take the g35 to a local mechanic shop for an inspection offer to pay for the inspection and make sure your there with them. If they say no then that’s a red flag.
@@tridentfd8482 They guy agreed to get a PPI but how do I go about setting it up and could I get one at a Nissan dealership?
Yeah you could ask for the inspection from Nissan it might be like $100-$150 ish , but it’ll be worth it. This will make you feel more comfort about the purchase. Just call a Nissan or Infiniti dealership and ask them if they can inspect a Infiniti g35 for you.
Do u think someone 6’2 will have a hard time getting out that car?
They can lay down in the back if they try😂
Actually no 😂 one of my friends are 6’5 and he owns one. He fits perfectly in the G35.
@@tridentfd8482 im 6'8 and got a g35 coupe, hella leg room
Gas almost 5 bucks for premium in New Jersey
Did it myself and U want it so U believe me.
im looking to buy a 04 g35x wit 171,000 for a first car needs a lil work like air intake hole, front wheel bearings and the trunk won’t open for $5,000 is this a good idea ?
No
I found one for 4k with 100k miles clean title
These cars like burning oil at around or close to 200k miles if not taken care of
@@vvsg6248 it’s automatic tho huh
Buying a G35 next month video came just in time
How did it go?
I have a grind in 5th gear depending on how I shift it what do I do 😭
New clutch bro save up
Look for a G35X or G37S
I’m closing up on buying a 2003 Infiniti G · G35 Sport Coupe 2D for $3,500 he says the center console doesn’t work? is that hard and cost a lot to repair? Says no lights on dash I think that’s it’s only problem
I'm buying a 04 for 3,500
I'm getting it tmwr and only problem is burning oil
what year is this g35?
2003
maneeee what the fuck gas was so cheap back then man wow shit is craaaaaaaaaaaaazy bro
Facts Florida gas is ridiculous right now in 2022.
what if its a auto?
Buying one tomorrow, for 1500. Rattle noise from engine. 2005 clean title . Thoughts 180k miles.
Only mods , dc sport intake and mishimoto radiator
i thought it was the huminity nope its florida
I am looking to buy a 2006 g35 for $4,000 a CA car 1 owner but has 183,000 miles auto transmission good shape, good buy or not?
2.1 mines at 4.8
so i have a 2004 g35 and so many people say to use regular gas rather than premium. what do u think i should do ??
Read the owners manual it will tell you
Use premium. It says it on the gas cap.
@@tridentfd8482 thank you!
Premium is recommended but not required
@@Stranger_In_The_Alps pls dont get one lol
The only con with the g35 I’m tryna get is the PREMIUM GAS
Get it you won’t regret a G35
they all use premium gas, all 350z too.
Wow 2.7$ for premium
Bjs its the cheapest gas 🤣
Bro I $4.29 a gallon in California😭😭
Yup😂💀
