7 COMMON PROBLEMS WITH A G37!!

[@UniqueHandles]

I guess I’ve been pretty lucky. My 7AT has been boosted (Z1 supercharger kit) since 136k (now at 160k) and I’ve only experienced the coolant heater hose issue. Cleaning the throttle bodies more often will typically eliminate the jerky shifts. Not trying to downplay your experience or anything, but I’ve only ever seen one of those cars broken down on the side of the road, and it was for a dead battery. These cars are stupid reliable, and the issues you listed aren’t as common as you may think until you reach higher mileage numbers. I enjoyed the video though! Please continue making content.

currently at 162k and just changed my water pump 3 days ago

[@ulrichwillems6072]

After hearing all this I'm going to take the bus.

[@crazyaboutboxing9385]

If your have more then 100000 miles , If your doing the gallery gasket,water pump might as well do complete timing chain and cam sprockets ,thermostat, drive belt .. after that your good for 100k more miles . This is $4500 if you go to the dealer. Just make sure you bring them the revised gallery gasket from z1 Motorsports or concept Z performance.. I’m getting this done this week . $$$$ hurts but I don’t have a garage to do it myself

[@urygen]

Picked up a 2010 G37x w 211k miles for $4000 about a year ago. 2 owners and all service history up to new. Car still has original gaskets and oil pressure is good, surprisingly. Every oil change I pressure test, but I think I’ll run the originals until the engine gives me issues since it’s at 228k now. Thing gets daily driven 150+ miles a day. 3000 mi OCI Rotella t6 5w-40 w/ OEM Nissan filters

[@saad-asad]

Should be good dude enjoy the car! Stay ontop of your maintenance and have fun

[@reece7259]

Just a heads up, those oem filters are known to be not very good at all. I use Mobil1 Filters personally

[@MichaelHadford]

I have a 2012 G37x with the 7AT. Bought in 2014 with 5,000 miles on the clock. (Low mile lease return) Immediately installed Stillen supercharger kit for >400 whp. On the advice of Pat at L10 Transmissions, I installed an additional transmission cooler and inline magnetic filter. Also installed Setrab engine oil cooler. Now at 86,000 miles and no issues (yet) with either engine or transmission. (Knocks wood!).

[@saad-asad]

That’s honestly amazing. Super good cars if taken care of properly

[@urygen]

Nice Man U should post some content that’s exactly the build I’m going for on my ‘10 G37x

[@Nnoreaga]

My 08 g35xS has had every one of the issues you mentioned and it’s sitting at 248k miles right now. I’ve replaced everything, water pump went out at 200k, right now my valve covers are leaking oil and my right control arm is clunking

[@mushroomcastle5184]

Simple fixes I just bought 2 valve cover gaskets simple Cvx axle Simple Might as well get the bearings also

[@kaamsogrimm]

@@mushroomcastle5184godly rock auto

[@PaulsToolReview]

When you do the gallery gasket, you might as well do the timing chain and tensioner, the water pump, and the serpentine belt. Also the entire front doesn't need to come off. There's room to do everything without doing that. You will need to drop the oil pan so factor in 5.7 quarts of oil and 3 containers of 50/50 nissan long life blue coolant. I was quoted $1500 by my shop when the time comes. If you do it yourself, you get get all the upgraded parts from Z1 Motorsports. Few other things to watch for is failure of the passenger sensor occupancy sensor which you can bypass with an airbag360 for $80 and sticky / melting dashboards which will eventually crack no matter how well you keep car do to age and heat (not the sun).

[@ahmed-og2le]

Thank you for sharing these informations, I had no idea about some of the issues there and never seen anyone talks about it especially the water pump

[@saad-asad]

No problem!

[@EricHightower-i1005]

I have a 2010 with 180,500, and i haven't had any of those problems. I bought it in 2013 with 55,000 miles, and ive only changed the battery twice. I have to fix my tie rod on the left side because of a squeaking issue, and that just happened this year 2024.

[@Yalaby3]

Great content keep it up!

[@saad-asad]

I appreciate that thank you!

[@makinmoneywithjuan1108]

I have a 2018 Honda civic lx I’m looking at either a 2013 Infiniti g37x awd with 39k miles that was also garage kept and looks pristine priced at 20k, or a 2020 Acura ilx FWD a spec with red guts priced at 25k, I know the ilx will last me a long time because of the k24 engine and a pretty reliable DCT but I live in New England and kinda want awd and a v6 would sound better and move way faster than a ilx. I am a currently a junior in college and don’t have that much money so what should I do??

[@saad-asad]

Honestly a very hard decision. Are you planning on financing both of these cars? The Acura will definitely be smarter option because it’s better on gas and more reliable because it’s new.

[@blankfaceman9694]

Had my g for 4 years. Beat on it just about everyday. Got through 600 mile road trip through a desert. Blew the water pump literally when i parked it in my driveway. Replaced the water pump. Havent had any issues besides that.

[@bkoggbeats]

I got my '13 g37 at 81k miles, had it for 1.5 yrs and have been doing oil changes every 5k miles. Its at 101k miles now. from 3rd to 4th im flooring it and it drops about 0.5rpms for a split second before it quickly gains rpms like normal. Never done anything else to it besides muffler delete. Other issue is that it goes up and down 0.25 rpms on a cold start. I love driving it and these are the only things ive noticed.

[@Godstoys-qf8qs]

Sounds like your throttle body needs cleaned that’s all

*2008. Yes I still drive it. #1 mine was cracked but not bad. fixed. #2 driver side. I've been using duct tape on the roof but found a way to reroute to the A/C drain port. #3 cleaned them a while back. #4 haven't had that issue. #5 yes but dread taking it apart. Only a few drops after each drive. #6 haven't had that issue. #7 gallery gasket? That's a new one on me. Other problems I've encountered are front ball joints have gone bad. Replaced ignition coils and 2nd set of spark plugs at 125k. The cracking dash! And, it is not an easy feat to replace. Easier to put a custom dash mat on it. 😕*

just got the water pump done on my 09 😢😢😢very expensive

[@olabodealamu5297]

Funny how he didn’t mention valve body in the transmission, catalytic converters , subframe issues door actuators etc😂

[@Mik35959]

Catalytic converters are so stupid on these. People think they have rod knock. The subframe on the g35x sedan is a bitch too

[@olabodealamu5297]

I had to change my driver catalytic converter @ 100k miles and at 150k miles the passenger side gave out as well. I drive a 2015 Infiniti q40, and I mostly buy premium gas. At the moment, I have changed all the wheel bearings in the car as well as all the struts. But my steering rack needs to be replaced. As much as I love this car, I can’t help but wonder why the parts give out like that! The engine is completely bulletproof, but every other thing is really fragile.

[@shreenivasashok8824]

great video man, lol already had the transmission issue, sunroof issue, dashboard cracking, gallery gasket issue (p0010+p0021). Should have had the water pump fixed 😮, what are the symptoms of water pump failure? P.S. Still love the car!

[@litl_mexican9761]

How did you fix the trans issue

[@saad-asad]

You shouldddd be fine honestly. Signs are coolant leaks or low coolant or car randomly overheats. Harder to find

[@clydemacauley1554]

Nice video man. For the g37, We only use Premium gas? Does the Q50 as well?? What happens if you use regular??

[@benjacobs4157]

can lead to premature detonation which then leads into knocking and pinging

[@vursce]

Nothing happens these cars are built like tanks, ive been putting plus fuel instead if premium, still runs the same no problem

[@clydemacauley1554]

@@benjacobs4157 Ah I see. Does this particularly affect the turbocharger? Is that originally where the knocking comes from?

don’t do it

[@saad-asad]

Hmm honestly you should be good! Just do the oil changes every 5k miles, make sure car isn’t leaking oil. Get any exhaust leaks fixed, change the spark plugs, and make sure the sunroof drain isn’t leaking into your passenger footwell. These cars are really reliable just do basic maintenance and don’t abuse it 24/7 :)

[@reece7259]

If its stock then that is the best sounding g37 deal Ive seen or heard. If you haven't gotten it yet or plan to get a different 1 my biggest tip is go to the heater hose connector in the back that he showed, and squeeze it literally as hard as you can. It's either going to be solid or it will Immediately break when you go to drive it. Better for it to break on the test drive then when you own it

[@cassidy3843]
