The Infiniti G35 is the thinking man's Nissan 350Z waiting for you on Facebook Marketplace

FIND ONE: collectorcarfeed.com/cars
STICKERS: collectorcarfeed.com/store
PATREON: / collectorcarfeed
Due to technical difficulties, this Wednesday we present a different Nissan than usual. S Chassis Reports resume soon.
The G35: it's a rear wheel drive Altima, but is the Infiniti a cheaper or better buy? Is it cheaper than the 350Z? Are there any actually worth considering on Facebook Marketplace? I don't know if we answer any of these questions.

[@JustPhilTv21]

For what’s it’s worth with the automatics, buy the cleanest body you can find and just do the 6mt conversion. Probably one of the easiest cars to swap. You can do it the poor way, by jumping a few wires and reflashing to a manual map. Or take it a step further and get the correct harness for that oem feel.

[@twrcrew8852]

but then if you do it the poor way just gotta make sure the holes drilled in the firewall are done properly and cleaned up and painted. and all the wire work is done the right way, not twist twist and shit or else the car's gonna end up on collector car feed in the worst way.

[@JustPhilTv21]

@@twrcrew8852 just depends on what year the car is, you just have to jump a wire with an add a fuse to the battery directly. Tbh the hardest part of the swap really is the clutch pedal. You have to make your own support bracket but other than that everything else just bolts up.

The reason most of the ones that go up for sale around 160-170k miles is that's when you need the timing chain job done or the Galley Gasket on 08'-12 for G37's Similar for 35's (not sure the year span (04'-07' maybe?) can start leaking internally. For one of the most reliable cars on the road, this is it's bane. It's a week long job for a mechanic. Gonna cost $1500-$2300 and have to remove the entire front of the car & engine. The Gaskets on pre 2013 (they fixed this 2013 & up) were paper thin, so you'd need the Z1 Motorsports Kit which is $600 alone. (Metal Gaskets, 3 Tensioners & 2 Timing Chains) they'll be good for 300-500k after that, but it's a pretty steep ask for people today, so they just sell em and make it someone else's problem or ticking time bomb. Love Oil in your Water? This one's for you. Lol I did my own kit replacement (08' G37), but it's one of the hardest jobs to do solo without a lift you'll ever do. However, it's worth it to have a non problematic vehicle. Considering most clangbangers nickel & dime you for life. Where my BMW drivers at? Whup, Whup... 😅

8:00 the g35 cluster has circuit board issues. The backlighting fails prematurely and the gas gauge has issues. If it's an auto and the manumatic feature starts failing to engage most of the time it's linked back to something in the cluster not allowing it to switch over. I just had to send mine in for repairs, roughly the same price as trying to source a used cluster with random miles on it.

I got a G37 sedan for 6k, and it needed work , it needed a lot of work, but legitimately, these are nice cars. They have a reliable 330 hp motor, excellent driving dynamics, nice features while not being overwhelmingly full of tech, it was a no brainer car because it checked all the boxes. Quick, nice, comfy, and I get it, it was a piece of shit infiniti but I'm coming from a 2004 WRX okay. This interior is leagues above to me. The previous owner did straight pipe it and the fender was dented bad, but I'm committed to fixing it. I plan to hold onto it for awhile. I joke with my friends, "I'll be the last G37 on the road in 5 years."

Trust me you can. Not saying if you pay 3500 you’re gonna get the same results as me, I got my G first re sprayed 5 years ago had no issues and paint had no complaints, just found minor sanding lines, went back to the same guy and painted my G nardo and it came out amazing. But I thought ahead, I brought him all the parts in pieces so he could paint them separately, so the paint would actually go inside the bumper and stuff like that, because if you take a car to a cheap shop all they’re gonna do is most likely sand it and paint.
