[@fadedvegan6372]

Thank you for taking your time to record and have this up online for anyone who needs guidance on replacing the starter you made it very easy.

[@Juice-jx1pr]

At the first at the evaluations of hours and hours of people up top looking at your video we came to conclusion that you got the job

[@juniorsurprano9068]

Ima try this in the morning on my g35 sedan pray to god it works 👨‍🔧🙏

[@MrvTv]

How’d it go?

[@Ebksmurkish]

Did it work

[@JoebBlackwell]

Do you have to use a washer!

[@jakegarcia536]

My G been giving me a hard time starting but clearly my battery wasn’t dead hopefully it’s the starter...thanks for the video bro 👌

[@Fadeworthy]

Did you ever find out what it was?

[@scottynaru9351]

Did you figure it out?

[@tyrellsuggs9916]

Thank you so much for making this video, you legit have just saved me time & money, keep the great informative content coming, we your viewers thank you!

[@nchrysalis1]

Thanks. Took me 2 hours, but I did take frequent breaks due to it being 102 degrees outside. Saved a good bit of money though!

[@kevinweatherly3392]

Thanks bro my starter went out on me thanks I ordered my new starter should arrive by this Friday thanks to save me back that labor

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

Your welcome! glad to help.

[@MrDee-xl6nf]

I wanted to know if you found what the problem was since it wasn’t the starter.

[@chockes1]

Thanks to all the ppl that takes the time to show us how to do the repairs Is really hard to do something while you recording especially replacing parts in a car 👍🏻👍🏻🤘 Thanks homie you deserve a like 👍🏻

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

Thank you sir!

[@charlenecagle7876]

Thank you so much your tutorial was spot on and I was able to change my starter with no trouble .Finally a you tube video that was absolutely correct thanks again.

[@JorgeGomez-tl2mn]

The video is excellent, you make it look easy. Thank you. A question will this also apply to a EX35?

[@POWfistWHAM]

Awesome video saved me a lot of time and money !

[@CONald_is_A_false_Prophet]

This video is long, BUT it was good to see the detail and struggles when removing and re-installing the starter which most other shorter videos I watched did not show. Another good point here is the unexpected part of it being a different issue which may be common in the G35 and apply to someone else going through the same things.. It is always good to get back to the basics, unplug fuses and relays and plug them back in as sometimes that fixes things like this.

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

I do agree with you. :)

[@rickyymunoz]

Hmmm I do remember using the wrong fuse as an emergency on a headlight that wasn’t working properly, any chance that might cause starter issues ? Lol long shot but maybe

[@CONald_is_A_false_Prophet]

@@rickyymunoz all starters fail at some point and if it's been a while it's likely just at the end of it's life. Could be a battery and or grounding connection issue also. Typically you can pull it out and hit it with power to see if it grinds or runs smoothly. Sometimes it's a solenoid. You may find a cheaper alternative to get a used one at a local scrapyard too. I have done that and it usually works out well, most have oem parts even. Hope this helps.

[@CONald_is_A_false_Prophet]

@@rickyymunoz oh and make sure to swap your fuse back out. Being in an emergency is one thing but you never want to have the wrong size fuse for anything, could actually start a fire since the circuit / wire may not be able to handle the load it's carrying.

[@markjensen1822]

Nice battery hold down! Is that a custom?

[@fayeb7613]

Thank you for this great video. Your video was very informative and was recorded in real-time while removing and replacing the starter, so I noted it was approximately 17 minutes active time. I also appreciated the clarity of the video to highlight the specific nuts and bolts that must be loosened and removed, along with the harness.

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

Your very welcome. glad I could help.

[@joseph2294]

hard to start when engine is hot,starter problem?

[@victoralaniz573]

So what was the problem ???

[@topoftheline8751]

Did you change the fuses by the battery?

[@luxuryxless3759]

Thanks. my starter went out on me thanks I ordered my new starter should arrive by this Saturday thanks

[@scottynaru9351]

Did it fix your problem?

[@luxuryxless3759]

yes but now is the electronic ignition starter.

[@4ecks5]

Is it true that this car or model burns alot of engine oil? Like u have to keep adding to it?

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

Yes and no. depending on how many miles you have on the vehicle, and how maintain your maintenance are. typically over 130k miles it will start burning oil, but that is in a lot of engine. maintenance is import on the Nissan 3.5 liter engine.

[@4ecks5]

MachineHead Repair Projects thank you

[@brandonblack2095]

@@4ecks5 they do burn a lil bit but its acceptable, my car burns about half quart every 1000 mi which is not bad, i heard it also helps if you use castrol edge synthetic oil to help not burn too much, have not try it yet but will do it on my next oil change

[@4ecks5]

Brandon Black thanks for the input. What if its using conventional do i just switch to synthetic next oil change?

[@brandonblack2095]

@@4ecks5 yea you can switch to synthetic from conventional oil, no problem. Im using Supertech synthetic 5w-30 right now but will try castrol edge snythetic next time. I read somewhere before where people have oil burn issues they use that and it seems to burn less. just check your oil once a month

[@juanvaldez7149]

you saved me from the mechanic Gracias.

[@ykmalachi]

on the 2008 in my driveway it is on the driver side and the rack and pinion is in the way and requires removal to extract the starter.

[@robertnichols618]

Did you replace it or mechanic?

[@RG-wy1ol]

Thank you sir for making this video very helpful

[@MotionSkater]

Perfect timing, my starter just went bad

[@roberttorok6549]

My Infiniti G35X died on me in a supermarket parking lot, I hope its the fuse box and not the starter. New fuse and no tow.

[@duuurs]

Did that work for you? I have a g35x with the same symptoms.

[@MrDee-xl6nf]

@@duuurs Did you ever find the problem because my car is doing the same as yours then starting at a later time. I’m confused.

[@moshindeiru809]

*The starter on the 08 model is on the driver side* yall

[@pierres3x]

on the battery cable theres 2 connections one connection (the one you took off the starter) and one above the ones thats above the starter connection where do i connect it to because its just dangling in my car

[@JohnDoe-wi7eb]

A lot of them seem to not be able to start...

[@topoftheline8751]

How old is that starter? Or when is last time you replaced the starter?

[@StrangeQuark]

you mentioned the terminal uses a 10mm but ive never heard of such a thing, where do i find one of those?

[@chaselaframboise2511]

10mm socket

[@jaypills976]

Ok I have a question on my infinity g35 2003 at first the car was taking for ever so I try the first time don't Start on the second try it comes on now it didn't start anymore and it sounds like a click when I try turn it on the mechanic just now told me I had some transmission problems so u think it could be my starter it sounds down there right where the starter is any suggestions any pls need help 🙏 🙏 thanks and God bless you all

[@Thaibxer21]

Guys this isn't as easy as it seems, especially if you have big hands so crammed and tight in there hardly any space to create leverage, and make sure your lighting is on point very hard to see under there. locating bolts isnt the issue accessing them is

[@NewJerzyBorn84]

Is it better to get the starter from the dealership or somewhere else?

[@Cutthroatalize]

Auto zone has it for great prices got mines today

[@mikemitchum5725]

Did you ever figure out what was wrong with it?

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

The fuse box behind the battery under the cowl had some loose connections. Best thing to do is to get back there, unplug everything from fuse box and check all relays, fuses and connections. Good luck.

[@jslgraphics6966]

Mines wouldn’t start today. Did it make a “winding” noise when you tried to start it? Kind of like a mini vacuum or something

[@skyehanlon4491]

JSL Graphics mine did

[@the405show]

@@jslgraphics6966 you mines just did that last night did u find what it was? Same thing on my 03 g35 sedan

[@nicestyet2097]

The washer on the starter originally should go in the trash right off the bat its a lockwasher those are 1 time use

[@jarteaga85]

Is this on a awd g35?

[@MachineHeadRepairProjects]

Negative. This was a 2WD

[@jeffsafawi7947]

Awd is on the driver side i think

[@justynbelcherr5500]

2003-2006 uses different starter from 2007-2008

[@moshindeiru809]

It's also on the driver side

[@kire5555]

I got the same battery tie down 😂

[@thought_farm]

07-08 is different

[@maddlabgarage]

Speed the video up to 1.5…thank me later

[@brandonblack2095]

what"s a starter?

[@justynbelcherr5500]

Mine keeps popping ignition switch fuse. Ignition switch is fine been tested this will be the next thing to test. When I turn the switch the fuse pops.. clearly the starter right?

[@yungflyandflashy12]

I have the same issue have you fixed this yet?

[@justynbelcherr5500]

Dj the starter was bad but wasn’t showing signs

[@justynbelcherr5500]

Get your starter tested at orileys trust me. Mine was cranking up everytime I put a fuse in 2 days later would pop then never run again

[@marcstov]

Thank you!
