The Infiniti G35: The History of an Iconic Sport Car!

[@JoeVazquez]

thank you guys so much for watching!! check out www.goagainst.co for a g35 air freshener!!

[@jkent9915]

This is pretty dope. I have had a 350Z as a drift car for a while and used a G35 as my daily. Now my 350Z is a track car and the G35 is going to be the drifter. It just feels more predictable in the transition from one direction to another.

[@ElegalvicnLa]

When I saw the 1st one it was maybe 2002 and saw a black coupe on the freeway at night. It was Badass looked like nothing I’ve never seen before and fell in love with it. In late 2004 I bought a Blue 2003 sedan with the Aero kit which was nice. My payments back then were $420 but I had to have it. I eventually got rid of it but last year I picked up a Black 2003 coupe with Brembos and stock Forged wheels. Still a Classic design

[@JoeVazquez]

Beautiful design, I had a similar night freeway encounter moment with a q60 and I want it now haha

[@FFGAir]

That gtr G sounds crazy. I love that quad exhaust tip look they put on it

[@JoeVazquez]

Seriously!! Would be cool to replicate it

[@Keanu-Crypto]

I also have a desert platinum G I'm absolutely in love with his color. Every time I see another G with it. It's amazing to see

[@danielcastaneda7801]

My first car I bought on my own was an 05 G35x, back in 2015 as a 19 year old. I had always saw the coupes and wanted one but was blown away with the fact that a 4 door was that much fun. Later on got another sedan RWD and lost it after about 2 years or so. Fast forward to now I have another one, 05 sedan 6mt. This one I’ll never get rid of haha

[@JoeVazquez]

That’s dope man!!

[@jkent9915]

If you don’t have kids you gotta try out a coupe. The sedan is nice but the coupe feels like a proper sports car. I have owned a Porsche 964 and Cayman, Camaro, Mk4 Supra, BRZ, and a 370Z (which I sold to buy the G35). My built Rev-Up 05 G35 is more fun than any of them. 400hp at the wheels on E85, and right at 3000lbs with me in it. The only reason the 964 wasn’t more fun is because it just feels REALLY dangerous; you might turn the wheel 60-90 degrees extra while going around a smooth bend just to maintain course.

[@Wildchildinc]

The forgotten legacy of the G35 is eclipsed by its modern reputation. If the GTR variant stuck with the V35 chassis we would've technically had a Skyline GTR without the names being seperate.

[@jayzah]

We still got skylines on the v35 platform just not a gtr 😭

[@gedaman]

The R35 GT-R uses a variation of the FM platform used by the V35 G35/Skyline. The GT-R had to split off into its own separate model for the R35. Nissan had more grand ambitions for the GT-R beginning with the R35. Nissan wanted to take on the Porsche 911 Turbo.

[@SuperHops]

I remember when I played Midnight Club 3 and I got it then fell in love with it. Ever since I was little I always wanted one and I want to get one before it's too late, this is probably The last couple years you can get one of these and that is why I am on the grind 👍

[@JoeVazquez]

Awesome story man, thank you for sharing!

[@snibb1e]

I hope I can get one of these before prices go up!

[@JoeVazquez]

Definitely bro! Grab them while you can find decent ones

[@cdss2791]

Go for it! took me 5 years to finally get my first one and I’ve owned 2 now 🔥

[@JoeVazquez]

Thats awesome!

[@ramsesss6799]

Yeah go for it I got triggered when I found out they were skyline 350gt in Japan also the brembo are from the r34

[@JoeVazquez]

Definitely another cool fact I should have mentioned!!

[@deebro5794]

Own my 2004 Infiniti g35 coupe over 10 years now bout as is replaced the clutch only regular maintenance brembo slotted rotors on 20s with coil overs # great car great content ❤🇨🇦👊🏿

[@ericmarciniak1]

I love my 08 G35X! I live in Canada and the awd is amazing to have in the winter. I lowered it with BC racing coils and got some OEM 20" R35 GTR wheels for summer and they look pretty sick on the car.

[@JoeVazquez]

That’s amazing man, I love gtr wheels and I’d love to have them on my g aswell!!

[@JoeVazquez]

That’s where I host interviews if you know what I mean

[@Entrelanieve]

I have a 2007 G35S 6MT as a daily drive with 260k on the odometer and working as a swiss watch. A little rust here and there because despite of oiling it underneath every year, this is snowy Canada. It performs predictably on snow if you feather the right pedal. It is a loaded car made with fantastic long lasting materials, nice leather seats with heater, and lumbar and side adjustments. The only big fix was the gas pump gasket at the gas tank that you should not replace with aftermarket gaskets. I think that there will not be a car that well made for a long time.

[@ashar1353]

260k miles that's good. How's the car running? Cuz I was a little tensed abt my car cuz it has around 205k miles. Cuz some ppl say that this engine will last till 200k miles

[@Entrelanieve]

@@ashar1353 mine has 270k km now but someone at the dealership said that his father had had one that reached 500k km in the odometer. It is just a matter of keeping them well maintained, on-time oil changing and driving them on their ideal rpm range.

Bro can you do a video on the differentials I have a 07 coupe manual with the 19 inch rays wheels but I don’t know if I have a vlsd or a open one

[@JoeVazquez]

You have vlsd, one way to triple check though, lift both back tires from the ground, then put car in neutral, spin one of the wheels and if the other one spins the same way, you have vlsd, if it spins opposite it’s a open diff!

Hey i just wanted to point out you forgot all about the rev up for the sedan. It is important information if you are doing the entire history of the G, otherwise great video.

[@JoeVazquez]

I mentioned coupe and sedan got a bump in power due to the revup motor! :)

[@carlinleneker-frisch976]

@@JoeVazquez i must have skipped that part because i only watched the sedan part im sorry 😅 I do want to point out that i think the coupe vs sedan hp difference was just marketing, although ive only owned 2 manual Gs 04 and 05

[@JoeVazquez]

I could see that argument but one thing to note, sedans used regular gas and coupes used premium, possibly different performance tunes because of that aswell, but I don’t have any other insight on that haha

[@carlinleneker-frisch976]

@@JoeVazquez believe it or not my car requires premium as well, same thing. 97 is what is the very least required. Says it right on the gas cap too lol.

[@carlinleneker-frisch976]

@@JoeVazquez Honestly i cant blame you if you didn't know everything about the sedan, the sedan guys who are really into them could tell you all about weight differences, the 05-06 refresh, The 04.5 headlights, the doggy door 03 with a maxima ecu that you couldn't tune the same I could go on lol. There actually are a lot of differences between both that are minute, the coupe will always be the better looking car, but a sedan done right is something to appreciate, If you are bored look up some black 03 to 06 sedans with the 18 in non rays that nissan made for oem. With the aero kit on. 😬

If it helps, you also have a cd009, and if you have orange stiching on your steering wheel you have the sports package and if you have this motor looking thing on your diff on the right side, thats your Rear active steering. I have the exact same thing lmaoo

@@pablovq Thanks. The orange stitching is subtle so I really never noticed. But I do have it. I knew I had the rear steer from the original sales sticker being in the glove box. I hate it.
