I’m an original G35 coupe owner since 2004. I wish I would have created a KZbin channel myself considering I’ve had that car on autobahn roads in Germany from 04-09. Hitting 155 mph was a daily occurrence to and from work for me. Then went to Turkey and the UK after that. It’s a rare car overseas and definitely a looker. Still have my G at 252000 miles. Now I’m supercharged with a built engine and still enjoy the car everyday. It’s been very reliable overall; just normal wear and tear for the most part. Since being back stateside in 2018, I don’t drive as much as I used to but enjoy taking the G out now and then. It’s just not as fun as being on the autobahn.

Nissan's vq35de engine reminds me of the Ford cyclone 3.5, people will rather send them to the salvage yard than fix the timing chains, and then they'll call it unreliable these engines can 300,000 miles, I've seen some with 200,000 miles abused and still running.

I’ve owned an ‘03 g35 sedan and now a ‘12 maxima. In my experience the auto in the g35 was awful. It’s one of the slowest/slushy feeling autos I’ve driven and it started going into limp mode around 130k miles before I sold it.

Inifiniti is a great vehicle, drive one and you will agree .

[@Michael-ty2uo]

These cars are reliable the only reason why they're seen to break down as low as 100k miles is because most of the owners are teenagers, (I am one of them) that drive the car really hard and to its limit which wears down both the engine and transmission. If you drive the car like a normal person it would last much longer

Got an automatic AWD infiniti g35x. All I've gotta say is yeah the manual mode has lag to it between shifts. You can buy a valve body upgrade for the transmission that is supposed to eliminate lag and have a more responsive connection in manual mode. It's a 200$ bolt on. I modded and tuned mine without and it's fine but it would definitely benefit the car. Otherwise, this is the fastest car you can get today for under 10 grand.

I've got an '05 G35x sedan. Single air intake, no Rev Up CPU. It's a beast, especially in the snow with the AWD. EDIT: I would say that the one Scotty is looking at HAS been modified. They have swapped out the CPU. Nissan/Infiniti had 3 basic versions of the 3.5 V6. There was the basic (mine), then they released a higher revving version, was accomplished through tuning via cpu. Then they came out with the dual intake high revving package. Each of these tune packages required a different CPU. You can tell by the engine covers and hood. Basic had all Grey cover and "flat" hood. The 1st high revving had red detailing on engine cover. The dual intake version had both red detailing on engine cover and a bulge on hood for 2nd intake.

SCOTTY What scanner/program are you using? My vq35HR is currently at 217k lol. 2007 g35. It's the only one I'd trust to drive cross country. Sold my audi because 🤦‍♂️. My boxster is fun, but a pain to work on. Then again, my 07 g35 I'm second owner. And as Scott mentioned last video, they are expensive to repair if they DO BREAK.

[@svendjorgensen7201]

Love my G35x. Didn't love replacing the timing chain and water pump. Very well known issue with '03-'07 350Z/G35.

[@malcrew0980]

Hey Scotty! Love your channel. Gotta say though I bought a used 2007 Infiniti M35x with 89,000 miles back in 2013 and never had any major issues. I did have to replace the AC compressor in 2017 but that's it. The car drove like a dream. Never had transmission issues and the car was maintained well. I lost it recently in a flood due to Hurricane Ida. However if Ida never happened I would still be driving it today.

[@calvinevans8305]

I have a 2013 G37s with 78000 ish miles on it, with an automatic transmission and dual intakes. I'm hoping it will make it to 150000 miles before the transmission leaves me on the side of the road.

[@unstablebobgable]

Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I drink the shot of whiskey and roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up.

[@Mc88Flyy]

I’ve got a 2010 G37xS sedan 7spd auto with 151k and runs perfect. Only issue I’ve had was a clogged sunroof.

[@richardsmith2721]

I have a bone stock '03 G35 Coupe bought new and it has 29K miles now. That '07 had the rev up engine and they had oil consumption issues. That car has aftermarket brakes and an aftermarket exhaust.

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Man oh man, that car is a beauty. These are great.

[@Fordguy1997]

Have an 03 6mt sedan w/ 201k. Love it

[@weston1211]

5:35 Scottys driving straight imported JDM right hand drive baby!

[@JesusAvila-qe9zr]

I’m scared I bought my 08 g35 7k and I think it’s already giving me problems

[@lincbond442]

Scotty could never be a politician because he knows how to admit when he's wrong and take responsibility for it.

[@ItsAlive111]

Scotty! These “massive brakes” are caliper covers for crying aloud!!!!!

[@Blakecryderman7244]

@It’s alive 111 he’s joking around chill lol!

[@GD-tt6hl]

I put 26000 miles on my 13 infiniti g37x in one year. Great underrated car. I think they get a bad reputation cuz kids buy them and beat the s* out of them. Properly maintained will go right on forever.

[@ashar1353]

My 08 G35 sedan runs just fine at 220k miles, no issues, no emission problems no nothing, the late model G's with the VQ35HR is a better engine than the DE as it doesnt burn any much of oil, has a good low end torque and actually sounds better, also that the HR engine is long lasting compared to the DE

[@5iFTYHFaviation_addict]

That's the cleanest Infiniti coupe of that model i've ever seen. All the ones i've seen are really beat up

[@aymanlockhartable]

Infiniti golden area 2004-2012! I’m telling you my 2004 Infiniti G35x sedan was most reliable car just oil change and go! I sold it with 190k miles still solid!

[@JD604B]

I bought a 2001 G20 8 years ago and it’s still running great

[@Nestle245]

This was when Infiniti was at it's best.

[@leadnsteel1428]

The Maximas were pretty good back in the day too up to 2006-2008

[@btrdangerdan2010]

"Well Chevy doesn't know how to paint cars anymore..." Had me 😂🤣

[@HRH_band_offical]

I got mine for 5k. Same year, 120k miles, in perfect condition except for the small dashboard cracks in Lazer red. I love my car. She's fast and she turns a lot of heads

[@TaxiMikes]

@Scotty Kilmer Sir I have been watching and learning from you since you were on horsepower tv You my friend are a national treasure Thank you I appreciate all the hours it took you to learn your skills And thank you for all the knowledge you have past on to all of us shady tree mechanics that got us by and kept our families going

[@therenegades7329]

What's horsepower TV?

[@TaxiMikes]

It was a few shows on cable back in the day on the weekends

[@jeffreyxiong205]

I have a 2006 g35 automatic with 204k miles still runs like a champ

[@therealityoflife9060]

I owned a 05 g35 before selling it to my brother one of the most reliable and best stock sounding vehicle.. the only thing I'd say is be carefull with air coolant flush might over heat if not done correct

[@cesarurzua8234]

Infinitis are a 50-50, had friends who said they’re reliable and others who complained about the timing belts/chains going bad before 120k miles

[@pass_the_flask]

Timing chain will go bad if the owner doesn't change the oil/filter on time (aka poor maintenance).

[@luctodd4357]

I just bought an 07 Mountaineer. 1 owner, garage kept, only 46859 miles. I was very happy.

[@PaulsToolReview]

Notice the cracks in the dashboard when Scotty does the acceleration test! Shame on infiniti for not addressing their dashboard issues like Toyota and Lexus did with a recall. Also, the passenger OCS sensor is another failure point which will eventually show it's ugly head. Then the driver will get a nice red light on the dash to remind you. Only fix for that is a very expensive passenger bottom seat cushion with the sensor built in or an aftermarket bypass to turn off that stupid light. At least the owner of this car doesn't have the sticky dashboard problem which has to be cleaned often from the UV rays and heat although cracks is not a fair tradeoff either.

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

I have an 04 Maxima, and no cracks or damage on dash, leather or interior. Depends on the owner.

[@PaulsToolReview]

@@ssjMaximum22Goku Nissan and Infiniti just made better dashboards back then!

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

@@PaulsToolReview Nah bro, Nissan is making some really high quality interiors now. A lot of their newest vehicles have softtouch, high quality leather throughout the majority of the dash and through the rest of the cabin.

[@PaulsToolReview]

@@ssjMaximum22Goku never again for me. Past recalls on dash's melting, cracking, bubbling up on cars before 2008, now newer cars are showing the same issues after a few years out of warranty. If you don't believe me, google it. Then factor in the passenger OCS failures where the fix is a 5k bottom seat cushion because just the sensor and module is not sold or designed to be fixable. Otherwise yes it's a fun car, but the quality is just not there anymore

[@charlesbronson8680]

LOL have you ever seen a 3rd gen Dodge ram dash?

[@chevelle1967]

I personally have 4 G35 Coupes running & driving and a G37S coupe, all auto, been great cars with very little problems, 2 Ive had going on 5 years.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Scotty can you make a video on switching oil viscosities? I live in cold climate in Canada and my car is American. Owner always used 5w40 but i was thinking about switching to 5w30. Some Mechanics say you should never switch oil viscosities this late into the life cycle of a car because it just might not agree with it (my car has 192,000 miles 03' jetta diesel). What do you think?

[@TTime685]

An engine doesn't care if it's Canadian or American lol.. 5-10 weight difference won't hurt a car that old, especially if it's a pushrod and/or diesel. Newer cars with tight OHC tolerances etc is what you have to worry about

[@zanesutherland406]

Volkswagen recommends the viscosity of non-synthetic oil to be 5W40 and 5W30 if it is synthetic oil. This is for all engine options available for the 2003 Jetta.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

My thought was more or less that this car came from Florida where it is always hot. I live on Northern Ontario and a hot day here is 21° celcius like 1 month out of the year. I figured a thinner oil would help protect on the colder climate. It was only imported this year.

[@RandomlnternetGuy]

Majority of engine wear comes from cold starts and thats pretty much every 8 hours the car is off here. Sooo thicker oil theoretically warms up slower right?? Im probably just being too hardcore about it.

[@briandalponte5898]

If anything you’d want a 0w-40, no? Cause the first number is the viscosity at cold temps and the second is the viscosity at operating temp. If your car is at operating temp, it doesn’t matter if you live in 0 degree weather or 100 degree weather, the cold viscosity is what you should be worried about. Or that’s my understanding anyways

[@55Berg]

Agree with everything he said except when he said the automatic transmission is the biggest issue with these cars. That’s far from true, the autos are super reliable and I’ve rarely ever heard of people having issues with them. Also the vq engines that have dual intakes and dual maf sensors are awesome engines. They make more power and are just as reliable. Not to mention they scream at 7500 rpm

[@jacquesc3166]

Very much agreed. 5+ years on my 2013 G37xS sedan as 2nd owner (79,000-->173,000 km), she gets a proper warm-up and at least one big pull every time I drive. The 7AT ne-ver misses when romped on, and at mild throttle the multiple-disc torque converter gives at an impression of "2-step" shifts at partial lock... which unfamiliar drivers will interpret as slipping, especially compared with the old 5AT. After servicing the TB's on a dual intake HR/VHR, Scotty would probably skip the idle re-learn and get a CEL afterwards LOL... 2006 G35x sedan, 2006 350z GT coupe, 2007 350z GT roadster, never a single issue with the 5AT either (and the TCM on my 06 coupe was Uprev-tuned).
