Can you guys do Lexus IS 250 06-13
I have 08 G35 which just yesterday started shaking and the check engine light flashing. Initially i thought my spark plug was the issue that causes the car to shake bcuz it happened when i owned and ACURA 3.2TL but after a visit to both AutoZone and Advanced Auto code P0084 Exhaust Valve Control solenoid circuit Bank 2 was the diagnosis. What does this mean plz?
Love how she explained everything. Very intelligent lady.
Literally bought an 06 this morning. I wasn’t too familiar with the car until a couple months ago I was scrolling looking for a decent used 350z and one of these popped up. I love these cars.
Man U shoulda copped the z... I did the same thing and just copped out for a g and have regretted it since
@@ajnunez8788 why do you regret it? I just bought a g35 sedan a few weeks ago and it’s fun
Same I just picked up mine today
how many miles on your 06? I am looking into an 05 but saw another video that says 05-07 has rev up engine therefore leading to problems with piston ring etc. need to rebuild engine. Now I am a little bit concerned.
Someone is selling this car g35 for 2000$ but she said the car fluctuates when driving ? My job is 5 minutes away so Im thinking of buying it and fixing it since I live by work
No mention of the Gas gauge and Instrument Cluster issues?... Probably one of the most common issue with this car.
What a breath fresh air..great Presentation
Friend of mine has a 07 an it has 407k onit an still running strong love these cars very fast too fully loaded
I just purchased a 2004 G35 with about 153k miles (I know high but I don't drive too much and the cars last AT LEAST 200k on the engine if you treat it right)
I want to include a list of issues I have had to add on to 1A's video
The list will be helpful for anyone looking to buy a G or already has one and to see what problem may arise.
1st- The window motor & regulator
Never had such a problem with ANY car in my life then a G35 with the windows!!
If you are unlucky then the windows will go down and not come back up! Better make sure you have a tarp!
I had to replace BOTH driver and passenger motor & regulators
Also from some research I have done the sunroof may have issues but luckily I have been safe on that for now.
2nd- Crankshaft & Cam Sensors
1A had this one the sensors go bad after about 100k from what I have researched so if your G has more or coming up may be a good idea to replace them as bad sensors can cause your car to stall/turn off completely in the middle of the road! Scary!! I would recommend replacing them all at the same time if you can if not both bank 1 and 2 then later the crankshaft.
3rd Misfires These VQ engines are prone to misfires from bad spark plus bad coil packs bad valve cover gaskets ETC. In my case I just had gotten my valve cover gaskets replaced as well as my transmission fluid changed and pushing the pedal to the medal as the kids say I had a misfire in the forum in code P0305 which is a misfire in Cylinder 5.
In my case I'm still figuring out the cause but I'm sure its a bad spark plug/coil pack as these cars from 100k need a good tune up to keep the running strong.
Hopefully your G is alot better then mine drive fast turn safe!
Update:Unfortunately the entire cylinder for 5 is bad. Huge bummer! stay safe out there!
@@JASK235 what do you mean then you have to rebuild the engine?
@@danpan001 so stay away form g35 😅
Very helpful, thank you.
How in the world did she not mention the internal electrical issues?! Had my HVAC control stack go out so many times on my coupe back in the day.
First of all this video was incredible! This was very helpful! I wish I saw more info on the g35x model.
+BOOYA Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I have a 04 coupe been having it for 5 years only problem I had with it with my radiator cracked they are really reliable cars as long as you take care of them and always remember to check your oil it’s just a VQ thing
You are the best 👌, thank you for your time.
Great Video !!!!
This is great now I need the 2008 g35
Dont blame you, but the og 35 has been aging way better in the looks department
Pardon me ma'am but you did an amazing video. New sub
I had 3 of these a 2004 RWD red a 2005 AWD black & a 2006 RWD silver all were Sedans I loved all 3 were great cars I only changed the crankshaft senor and bank 1 camshaft sensor in the 2006 these G35 are awesome just buy one from someone who has maintained it properly
I watched another video and it says 05-07 has problems with the piston ring. Does your 05 and 06 burn motor oil?
How many miles did the 2006 get to? Just bought one with 180K on it hoping to get atleast 200 out of it
I've had 2 G35's, never had 9/10 the problems mentioned here. The one we did have was the crankshaft position sensor. Also common are the oil burning issues, cam cover oil leak leading to ruined ignition coils, and the seat airbag repeatedly sending an error.
Before cleaning the "Butterfly" disconnect the Battery. This might prevent you from getting a code or having to perform a idle relearn foot dance procedure to correct now induced idle problems. The Throttle body throat accumulates soot and should be throughly cleaned.
I cleaned my butterfly and got a check engine light had the throttle body replaced and still have that check engine light code
Don't own one, but still good to know. Have you done a 2006 su aru sti yet?
I replaced that top cam sensor should've checked for the recall. Will check the crank sensor. The evap and wheel bearing is common too. I did both. Seat belt retract and window switch known issues to. Other that very reliable til this day.
These are minor problems and are considerd consumables.but if you want the real problems.they are found in BMW🤣🤣🤣...i love japanese cars i don't like Germany cars ...well nice video👍 i almost forgot Do you know i japan call it this infinity g35 skyline sedan
What about Tiptronic shifting no longer working. How do you fix that?
number one issue with the car is it did not come with a factory super charger ! i had one installed at 30k now 65k and absolutely recommend it.
Was it c”inexpensive?
@@Iraqveteran-ke6qu it’s relatively affordable but you need more than just a supercharger kit. Add some cooling mods and the usual FBO kits and you’ll love it. 400-500whp easily on a SC build. 700whp+ if you go turbo though.
2003 was smoking all oil changes with syntyetic oil light cane on and notvsure problem.
Hi there,
I did exactly what you told us not to do by opening the butterfly valve in the throttle body (manually).
Is there a way I can recalibrate it? I've got a Check Engine light on, and code says high idle. And yes, idle is high. Mine is a 2003 G35 sedan, likely 2nd or 3rd gen. No separate panel in the back of the decklid if that helps.
Also, I have a question on windshield side trim - is that anything you can help me with?
This lady is a boss
Do you guys have a top-five problem is wrong with Infiniti QX56 first gen?
Major issue with engine shuts off randomly at stop light and sometimes on highway. I Replaced crankshaft sensor, spark plugs, cleaned throttle body, manifold and maf sensor. Still same issue. I’ve been searching on forums and others are having same issues.
Had almost the same thing, car would die not on highways but after them and just randomly after sitting at lights. Was a bad fuel pump, it's easy to do yourself on this car but don't cheap out on the pump if you do it yourself. You can get the full assembly for like $3-400 and doing that is a lot easier than only doing the pump.
Thank u
You did not mention the finisher board located beneath the radio. Infiniti had a recall, unfortunately they left out my vin number. I no longer have control of the radio, heater or ac. Fortunately, the system is stuck on 76 degrees auto, so ac in summer and heat in winter. I will not again consider a Nissan product.
I’ve gotten the pictures code 1233. I think it’s from bank 2. The one you mention in the video. My problem is when I crank up and press the gas pedal to the floor it does nothing. Is it the electric throttle valve ? Anyone with the same problem?
Camshaft sensor easy to replace
Love my 06 G35x! Still running on the original motor and transmission but I did just have to rebuild pretty much the entire suspension at 160k
How much did that cost?
Was that the Power steering rack n pinion as well ?
Hom much did you spend.if dont mind me asking..
is there a video for the G37?
What nothing regarding crappy soldering in DRL module or instrument cluster? I see complaints about this in every forum on the g35. Mine has those soldering issues. Result is defective speedometer and fuel gauge
Also the rubber grommet behind the brake pedal switch goes bad brakes into pieces.
It is nice to hear a woman talking about these cars instead of all men it shows that women are strong in this field
Was thinking oil leaking from valve cover gasket would be on this list..
+Juan Flores Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
Yea should be first on list
@@1AAuto yeah I redid the valve cover last year using your guys valve covers. Didn’t last a year oil is leaking out of the spark plugs ring.😡😡better stick with OEM Valve covers you would thank yourself in the long run
Yup my 06 did that
My 04 did it also... Just barely beat the warranty expiration by 5 days. Oil leaks past the valve cover gasket and into the spark plug wells. Good video though.
I don’t know why the G35 is considered the third generation. The G20 was completely unrelated to the G35. Oh well, the G35 was an awesome car back in the day when it was new. I had so much fun driving the 2005 G35x sedan when it was new.
The G20 is the 35s incest nephew, they are just alike
That brown brake switch tan connector is not for the brake lights the one right above it goes to the brake lights had to replace the garments on mine last week. The lower switch has something to do with the trany from what ive read still figuring out what it actually does thinking mine might be bad i step on the gas an lag until 3k rpm then she shyts an gets
brown switch is cruise control, it shuts it off if you brake. the top black one is the brake one youre right
is the filler neck hose issue related to the not letting gas in? Im having problems filling up the tank, gas nozzle trigger keeps turning off.
does its make the car smell like gas inside
Lol these are actually really uncommon failures no need to worry about these problems people
The only thing she said is worth worrying about both camshaft and crankshaft sensors I just had those replace.
@@1134bigo same I did them myself $40 a piece only issue I’ve had with the car
@@1134bigo how much
@@1134bigo and timing chain guides
To many problems
How do I fix my PO745 code on my g35 coupe?
Similar to 350z? If not then do you take requests? 2004 manual 350z...so dar only some electrical problems...
And Also, Radio Starts To Act Funny,Sometimes. If Tap The Front Of The OEM Radio It’s Start To Work ? Would Like To Know Why It Happens , Will Be Installing A New Double Din Unit In The JDM DD Panel I ordered From Japan
With any Nissan you should have a Top Ten..
Lol.
What about the power seat gears breaking?
I just purchased the Front suspension kit from 1A Auto and I can't find any how to videos for my 2004 Infiniti FX35 2wd.
+Kaj Sorensen Thank you for your purchase! We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
You said, “ticking” sound for timing chain. Are we referring to chain rattle only at startup?
Rite i have a 3 second rattle only on cold starts then it stops but i have no ticking sounds it quite and smooth but i change my oil every 3 months car runs good other than that no problems besides that rattle on start ups
I don't know about the rattle but my g35 is making the "ticking" sound. You'll know for sure when you here a constant "tick tick tick...." nonstop.
@@keenandungee4527 that’s the start of it. Your guides are JUST starting. You’ll have another 5-25k depending on oil changes imo. Mine lasted around 20k beyond that point with oil changes every 3-4K miles
Are all these issues/solutions applicable to a G35 2 door sport coupe?
Same engine
looking at one sitting at abt 160k i wanna know if there’s anything i should be worried about involving the transmission. my last car just exploded it’s trans, would be nice to avoid that
Don’t drive like a methead
how was it?
Dang, that poor G is rusty
They're junk
@@issavibez394 than why are half the drift cars at drift events a Z or G series
@@DEATHWINGS5000 cause they are the new 240sx
Right. My old cheap ass commuter Scion TC is in way better shape and it's not even a luxury car.
@@josephcazzuto7198 your car is front wheel drive and would get smoked by a Veloster
Hello, I have a 2003 infinity g35, and when I start it, smoking is coming out
My cars radio and dash stopped working at the same time what could it be
Timing chain thing is scary! What is the sound like?
It's rare and would happen with well used models.
I've owned my '05 g35x for 2 years now & I CAN attest that 4 of these 5 problems ARE true.
1. I just had to replace the camshaft sensor bank 1 (not crankshaft) like 2 days ago because it stalled on me twice & had a hard time starting back up. super easy fix $20 sensor.
2. My brake lights do not stay on but my reverse lights all of a sudden stopped working about a month ago.
3. Timing chain BEEN shot my entire time owning this vehicle, It sounds like a loose bike chain when I accelerate. In addition to this the engine rattles HARD on every cold start. I never knew what it was, the internet says these engines are notorious for this noise do to lack of oil circulation & it only happens for about a second.
4. My issue with fuel is I was never able to tell how much fuel I have in my car... I replaced both float sensors in the gas tank (yes this car has 2 fuel float sensors) AND took apart the gauge cluster & soldered a brand new motor & needle for the fuel gauge & it still was inaccurate.
Its funny that this video popped up in my recommended because the transmission just went out this morning.. this car was was super quick, sturdy & heavy it was not cheaply built at all but it has been a nightmare the entire 2 years these problems listed aren't even half of it.
+Devontae Thanks for your feedback and watching!
@@1AAuto are these problems avoidable
Yeah my reverse lights don’t turn on
does your car burn oil? Any problems with the piston ring?
how nightmare is it? how much did you spend or you would have spent if you have a mechanic to fix the problems? I am looking to buy a one owner 05 G35 sedan with almost 100k miles all are local miles not highway miles.
I got an 03 g35 sedan shes very rusty underneath. The heart is very well taken care of tho it will out live the chassis smh
+KOBE BRYANT Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My 2003 g35 has a ticking noise but not at start or idle only when im driving in low rpm & lightly flooring it, also had a previous 2004 that did the same, is that normal for these engines or??
I have the same sound in my car. How did you deal with this problem?
How much of this do I have to care about if I only plan on drifting?

What about oil leaks those are common too.
That or excessive oil burning

None of the above issues
Only a bank 2 sensor that's it .

How about the abs module or abs sensor

@1A Auto 2:16 Does this also apply to 7Gen Maxima’s?
+Paisano Italiano This video is for the 3rd generation. We don't have a video for your 7th generation right now but we will keep this in mind for a future video.
Applies for any car really. Clean the throttle body and maf every now and then. I have a 7th gen max with 190k and i haven’t had an issue like that.
Chingona🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰thanks
I’ve changed the cam sensor and they still won’t come iff
If only this awesome woman could check my g35x woushhh !! Im sure after not even half a day I could get out with a fresh baby and know clearly what ALL problems we're.
What about overheating problems? I replaced thermostat and after a couple months It started overheating again
did you replace it with an OEM thermostat?
Did you properly air burp the system? I wish I was kidding but it took me 3 tries to get properly burped because of layout/design
Yes, more than likely air still in the system. There is an air release valve on the passenger side. It's black plastic and looks like a Phillips head screw. There have been times I've had to actually pour coolant in there to get rid of the air. The cooling system on the 2004 G35 is hard to remove the air for some reason. Keep burping it.
They sure like wheel bearings too lol.
Just got mine done 700 smh
How do I know when bearings are bad
@@34uzz78 you'll know. Either you will hear a grinding/humming sound coming from the rear or a loose knocking sound in the front. Or both. You can lift your car and grab the wheel at either the 12/6 position or 9/3 and try to wiggle it hard. If there is any kind of movement either your wheel bearings or tie rods are bad
@@joseborrero2402 I just got done rebuilding my entire suspension on my 06 G35X. Saved a ton of money doing it myself and it was all a first for me. Google and UA-cam work wonders lol
Just bought one with very bad wheel bearings
How about some of the engines burning excessive oil lol up to the point where owners have to check the oil level like every 1,000 miles 🤔
That was only on 05 and up with the Rev-up engines. However I think it was fixed with the 07 on.
New View Reviews That’s strange how the 2005 refresh got improved longer lasting brakes, but more oil consumption. The 2005 model refresh was improved in most areas at least.
Honestly I think that’s most older Infiniti’s my m45 was always guzzling oil had to check it every week to make sure she didn’t blow
"Hopefully" 😂
Dealerships don’t fix your car for free,,, So if you call them asking about RECALLS ( free repairs) they can simply say NO IT DOESN’T HAVE ANY AND HANG UP 😂
What makes you believe they will be so happy to bring your car in and service for FREE lol
The brake light issue isnt so much the gear, but the plastic stopper that breaks and falls off. All this needs to be fixed is a bolt/ nut or new plastic stopper where the old one breaks and falls off.
Wheel bearings.
Oil blowby ( why every VQ needs a catch can on the pass side) and people need to stay on top of their oil levels.
+Z33 Garage Thanks for the feedback!
I had an 04 coupe and it was a nightmare for me. The brakes always squeaked really loud, even when I got new ones and rotors, the doors would never stay open and always close on their own, the seatbelt never went back into place automatically, and would often get caught by the door because it closes on its own, the windows would open automatically sometimes, the camshaft sensor went out twice for me and this completely shuts off the car aka a fuckin death sentence depending where you are or if you’re parked it will leave you stranded smh nice car and quick, but not worth it with all those problems. Got a 2012 civic sedan and have had it for 10 months and no problems at all, great on gas, the doors don’t shut on their own when you open them, no seatbelt issues, no electrical issues, nothing lol can’t beat having a Honda or Toyota
U do know 03 to 07 is the first generation of g35
It’s actually the 2nd generation. The first was a Nissan Sentra clone. The G20….the number mean the engine designation. 2.0 inline four and a 3.5 V6.
03 to 06. After 07 was the next Gen.
They were still making the G35 coupe in 2007. I agree with others about the 2003 G35 being the first generation though. The Infiniti G20 was a rebadged Nissan Primera and FWD. The G20 lasted for 2 generations and was discontinued in 2002. The only thing the G20 and G35 have in common is the Infiniti brand and G in their model names.
@@tagjr9744 G20 isn't the same car. It was a front wheel drive, transverse mounted engine. Has nothing to do with G35 (Japanese Skyline)
waooo, dear lady you are awesome.
I'm thinking of getting a a g35 coupe, 2003, manual. The owner says it need a throw out bearing. Is 2003 to old of a car?
He has 88k miles, I still have to do a carfax to verify.
I have a g35 sedan 2003 with 105K miles and runs great. Today this car offers a better driving experience than the new Honda Civic Sport we purchased last year. The car has a low gas mileage in comparison to today’s mpg standards and needs high octane gasoline but every trip is a pure joy. So, too old? If it fits your needs, you should not care.
Damn I havent had any of these problems with my 07g35s sedan with over 200,000 miles on it but it does burn some freaking oil wont find a leak but you will sure find that your a half a quart short once a month
Very common to burn oil with this car specially with that much mileage... I have a 2006 g35 with 235k miles. I was losing about 1 quart every 1k miles. But I also had an oil leak from the Oil Filter and Lower oil pan. So I had to replace the o-ring seal and oil pan gasket. Also end up replacing my AC and Power Steering drive belts. The car now is running way better than before. I'm hoping to get another 100k miles out of it...
Only thing I had to replace outside of my routine maintenance in the past 3 years were.
- Bank 1 sensor (common)
- Driver side sending unit
- New MAF sensors
- Gas gauge (common)
@@baldpnoy410 do you have the rev up engine? then maybe the piston ring needs to be replaced? maybe the vale stem seals fail?
@@baldpnoy410 are you the first owner? I am checking out a one owner 05 G35 with almost 100k miles. Now I am scared of the issues of piston ring problems because the rev up engine for 05-07. I don't want to spend $6k and then have to replace or rebuild the engine.

They really are crap. I have an 04 G35x. Nissan's quality was very bad at this time. I feel Carlos Ghosn buried the company for profitability. Even if they are building much better cars now, people who owned Ghosn era nissans will never buy one again.
