Nice for the head gasket for limp mode and you don’t have to remove the intake manifold you can fit ur hand in the back for a new coupling

[@bradenwhite4356]

Just happened to me today and it was 100 degrees outside. Started smoking and overheating instantly and I had it towed to my house. The original coupler broke clean in half and I just replaced it with an oem one (mistake) and you DO NOT have to take the manifold off, just the engine cover. It is an absolute pain of a reach to get the old coupler out though.

[@BalancePointMedia]

My mechanic recommended a metal bleeder since he was already going to be back there. Hope the new one doesn't break again but it would be a while before that happened anyways

[@chrisadams4467]

@@BalancePointMedia This happened two days ago to my daughters 2011 g37. I went there and tried to drive the car but it would only hop. It was some type of extreme limp mode not the normal 35mph or so deal. I called 2 dealers and they said there is no limp mode like that. Anyway the car was towed and is great now.

Happened to my g37 2013 journey, I soldered a copper straight adapter together and bam. Never had a leak since

[@BalancePointMedia]

Nicely done!

[@nfsrel3944]

Did he say 3-400,000 miles ?

[@Forseenlife]

Same thing happened to my 2010 sedan. Went to the dealer, bought the part and replaced it without pulling anything off. Nobody told me I couldn't do that so I was able to do it. Glad I didn't watch this video first. The only problem I had was the clamps but I bought the hose clamp tool that reaches way down and it worked. I still don't know how I managed to do it but it worked so...

[@BalancePointMedia]

You were able to get to it without pulling the intake manifold?

[@Forseenlife]

@Balance Point Media Yeah, I did. Barely, but I got it. Used the flexible wire long reach hose clamp tool and it worked.

[@BalancePointMedia]

@@Forseenlife well done!

[@MrPrplhaze1]

Hah, before I even watched this, I knew what it would be. ;) Very common, should be first thing any G owner does.

[@RubberChickenMan007]

What's the part number for the coupling?

[@e30m31989]

Show location and finished addition.

[@justinbrown9407]

Omg literally same thing happened to me one night coming home from work and my car just started smoking and overheating come to find out one of my coolant hoses cracked (2008 Infiniti g35 sedan btw)

[@BalancePointMedia]

Hope it wasn't too much of a headache!

[@tylerandrews9244]

Happened to me, car went into limp mode scared the s*** out of me !

[@kuruptgt]

Happened to my 2004 G35 Sedan. Smoke from hood. Opened the hood up and the coolant burst. The temp gauge was at max lol. Barely limped it back to my auto guy. He charged me $700 to replace the radiator, but overheated again! Took it back and he said there was "air blockage" or something. Now it's working fine.

[@kuelkidd]

This happens to my car all the time fr

mine got replaced through the dealer i just have this annoying ass clunk when moving out of park or using ds mode

[@BalancePointMedia]

Why would that clunk be happening?

@@BalancePointMedia axel click, i was tweaking lmao

[@SIowMode650]

How much was it

[@timithymckenzie1101]

How much does it cost to get fixed?

[@BalancePointMedia]

$200 but if you do it as a preventive maintenance on your own the part is very cheap

[@sneakwastaken]

VHR has galley gasket issue too.

[@BalancePointMedia]

It seems like all vq’s do :p

[@hamburglerkosh2049]

@@BalancePointMedia not all, the 2012-2013 3.7 didn’t have the galley gasket problem

[@_KeepItG]

@@hamburglerkosh2049 2012 models did have the issue 2013+ you’re good tho.

[@bradenwhite4356]

@@_KeepItG Only the 2012 models built pre-February of 2012 were affected. Past that and the 2012's are good.

HAPPED TO ME, I REPLACED IT WITH METAL

That's the way to go!

[@joseross2697]

What wheels are those bro ?

[@BalancePointMedia]

They’re JNC 033 in black chrome. 🤙

[@mooauto2388]

Does it affect the qx50 2015 ?

[@BalancePointMedia]

I think they sorted it by that point

[@colinvincent5725]

Same thing happen to my car

[@BalancePointMedia]

Hope you weren't stranded too long!

[@render80]

При всем уважении, но этот переходник меняется за 20 минут без разбора чего либо. Просто крышка снимается и все. И ставится металический соеденитель.

[@genejensen201]

09' G37 starts and stalls, no engine lights.. any ideas?

[@BalancePointMedia]

Is it kind of a rough low idle before it dies or just it just die

[@keembands]

Possible fuel pump

[@rayrivera7169]

Does this apply to the 2015 q40?

[@bradenwhite4356]

Yes, just happened to mine @95k miles today

[@abercrom21guy]

140k miles, multiple cross country trips and still going strong hmmm?

[@BalancePointMedia]

Yep! Up to 156k now and besides this specific coolant coupling and a MAF sensor at 100k it's been excellent!

[@YSoAggressive]

@@BalancePointMedia looking at this car for an affordable, relatively comfortable, good daily driver that’s reliable. It’s between g37’s, LS430’s, Q40, or sun 2009 IS350. Still deciding and not really sure what to go with.

@@YSoAggressive what did you end up getting?

I’m having a problem with my g37 when I hate the gas it jump and every light comes on

Is it like your brake, abs, and traction lights?

[@molol8180]

@@BalancePointMedia do you know how to fix it I been trying for months

[@BalancePointMedia]

@@molol8180 check your brake fluid level If your pads are low it’ll cause lights to jump on hard acceleration. Low brake pads lead to low brake fluid levels. I just dealt with this right before my pad swap
