Personally speaking as a owner that is on my 5th VQ ownership. The issues with VQ35 make sure you have funds ready to fix its little minor quirks like oil cooler hose leaks, oil burner issues, value cover leaks granted its less stressful than owning say a BMW 3 series. For all it’s minor flaws the FM VQ platform is still a solid choice.

Every item you mentioned is due to improper maintenance and service. This is the problem with a lot of things. People don't want to go to the dealership because they charge a lot. So they change the oil and let it go. There is lubrication for the locks, the sunroof, the windows. Read your service manual. Do the correct service, because the dealership won't. They will change oil and flush brakes and take 800 bucks. They won't even pull out the list on what needs to be done. It's because the techs make ten bucks an hour and get no commission while the dealership charges ninety bucks an hour to the customer. The technicians aren't educated and they don't care because they are jealous of your "real car" If you follow the directions on Japanese vehicles, they are simply superior, even to the Germans. Go get an engineering degree then have ammunition for an argument. Follow the book, and let your car warm up properly. It isn't that difficult.

I got an 04 and had 2 of the problems fixed fairly cheap. window motors just collect dirt and lose continuity when engaged, simply taking the inner shaft apart and cleaning it with electric parts cleaner did the trick. make sure the pins have good contact to the races. The actuator motors, i bought some that fit the stock housing but had to adjust length of shaft and had the most trouble moving the old gear off shaft to place onto new motor. But both problems fixed and good as new.

Don't forget to mention that the seats have a bad wear and tear problem on the side bolster. My 06 6MT coupe was using about 4 quarts of oil every 3 thousand miles and I don't beat on my car. But it was just totaled about 2 weeks ago and now I've got t try to fix it or sell it as-is. It was rear ended on the driver rear corner bumper. It doesn't look bad but these cars are notorious for having a salvage or rebuilt title. And its very difficult to find 6MTs for a good price and in good condition. That's my 2 cents.

Got a 2003 G35 for just over a year. So far, nothing major has gone wrong. One of my headlights stopped working and replaced the ballast. Front speakers started distorting sound, so had them replaced with aftermarket speakers. Other than that, everything's been fine. It's as reliable as most other Japanese cars. All cars have issues with use and age, and the G35 is not particularly bad, in my experience so far.

Hey there. I am supposed to be buying a 2006 G35 Coupe this tuesday. The dealer said they would fix the issues (Passenger Door motor, Sunroof due to it not closing all the way and the car jerks when shifting for a few mins). I took it to Auto Zone and the code said it was possibly valve seals and definitely has a missfiring issue. I have a feeling there is no way they can fix all that by tomorrow. Any ideas?

I've only done brakes and a couple months ago, the front wheel bearings. THAT'S IT! It's been bullitproof and we love it just as much now as we did when we got it. I just wish it was a 6spd manual! 😢

Okay a common issue is the windows and motors sucking. I've driven a few G35's and they've had fucked up windows. I was test driving one and the window stopped working lol. I drive a Nissan Maxima and I've had 3 other Nissan Maxima's and the windows always get messed up too. I've also driven one G37s and 2017 Q50 and the window motors in those suck too. It's a common Nissan/Infiniti problem. Even in the 2017 Q50 which is a luxury car, it happens.

As a G35 owner I can vouch for all of these problems lol. I bought mine for fairly cheap because it had all of these problems. Except the 3rd/5th gear problem, mine's a 5AT, never had any problems. Although I have heard of people with the 6MT's back in the day, just taking out 3rd gear to "solve" the problem, so that is most likely what happened to yours. Also if your sunroof doesn't work, but you can hear the motor working- the motor may have actually fallen off, as mine did. Pulled the lining down and got a screwdriver in there and fixed it up good as new. It was a pain in the ass and took about an hour but at least it works. One thing I'd say you forgot.. The door stops (checks) that hold the doors open at different intervals seem to wear out more often than other cars, I assume due to the heavy ass doors. So if your doors don't stay open, or close themselves.. change your door stops. (coupe) Also another problem, actually, is that sometimes on the G35 coupes, the windows will go down by themselves randomly.. And nobody is really sure why and there isn't really a fix to it. For example I parked my car when I was coming home for the night, and it was cold so naturally my windows would not have been down, also I'm positive they were shut.. but anyway I went out in the morning and my driver-side window was about halfway down. Could've been the window motor, but I've since replaced that about a week ago, and this problem has only ever happened once, about 5 months ago.

this is actually uncommon, the most common problems are bad valve body, pcm, seat motors, and gas consumption/ or just a bad gas needle reading.

These engines are notorious for valve seals and sludge. The way the oil filler is set up, it is hard to just open it and see into the top of the head area to check for sludge in a VQ35. Although not fatal, if the engine is sludged up, chances are it will need the pan and valve covers removed as well as the timing case cover removed and the crud flushed out. If you get the classic puff of blue smoke at start up, valve seals are damaged by the sludge and crud and need to be replaced (number 1 reason for oil consumption inthese engines). The VQ35 and 37 engines are real sludge boxes unless you change oil religiously at no more then 3.5K preferably at 3K miles with a good synthetic. I know this because? Because my 350Z is clean inside it's engine and runs perfectly with 125K on it. No oil use. My Q60S, on the other hand, was not maintaineed by a previous owner and is now being de-sludged and having it's valve seals replaced because it now blows a cloud of smoke at each start up. The Q only has 34K mile on it, so an engine can sludge up that fast if you don't change the oil enough. The previous owner basically effed up a $50 grand car because they were too cheap to change the oil at a proper interval. Stupidity and cheapness never cease to amaze me.

I have a 2003 G35 and my problem is the ac/radio panel and buttons are not working. The AC is stuck on 75 and I cannot turn it off or change it with any of the buttons. I can control the radio with the controls on the steering wheel but that's about it.. Yes I did check the fuses and they seemed fine. I did not check the fuses under the hood however. Any help or advice would be great! I do love this car but it seems like I should have done more research on it before buying it. However it has only been through one owner that took care of it well and is under 100k miles. The passenger door lock is already not responding to the key fob.. Least I got a good deal for it!

@@THEOGCRB I hear you on that. I prefer new as well. I mis understood when you asked the cheapest place to get one. $50 is a good price I think. Most of these darn parts aren't that expensive. The darn labor is. I try to do my own work when possible. * Google "g35 power window motor reset" that's how I fixed mine. Our cars have that function when you close door the window goes down and inch, then backup. Sometimes they get out of sync.
