Not sure which i favor more... 2Jz or VQ. 2Jz is a dyno queen for sure, but i mean.... VQ is fucking beast. Was the Skyline motor for a long while (G35 is a skyline).
This car has the 2jz GTE meaning it comes with a turbo from factory. unless you mean slap a bigger turbo in it, in which case you'll make all the power in the world.
One of my favorite builds so far. I absolutely love that car. The color and how it was built is on point. Big round of applause for the owner. I freakin love this car!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
One of the coolest and well executed cars you have ever reviewed! Big props to the owner and everyone who had a hand in building that piece of functional ART!
This video made me a believer of the g35. It made me immediately begin researching Craigslist for chassis along with eBay for 2jz/1jz engines. Then I joined a forum to look into the swaps and some of what's needed. Thanks Mr.Patterson for what I find to be the best review you've ever done. The look of amazement sold me.
5:06 the VQ was actually designed around shortening the overall length of the motor, and move more engine mass towards the center of the chassis, as it's 2 rows of 3cyl. I'm actually surprised the straight 6 fits as well as it does.
Love my g35 but what a headache it's been. Both window motors went, the driver window is off the track somewhere, the sunroof is broken, and my air-conditioning/stereo ( an odd combo to tie together) just crapped out Friday. I've been dreaming about a swap but it appears cheaper or same price as buying a built longblock vq. With the economy it's only a dream but I'm hoping one day it will be a reality. Seeing builds like this is what keeps the flame burning. Nice car!
Was one of the first cars I ever drooled over. Finally got to own one but was short lived. Would def like to try again and go this route. The car is amazing be seriously needs more power
That is the most badass G35 I've seen in a while. The owner or shop who did the swap really needs to produce a build video or walkthrough! We need 2JZ I'm every car!!
Edgar Duran Add a bigger turbo... Without sleeved block, with upgrades pistons, springs, cams, etc.. I would say that is certainly a lot of power. Bet he upgraded that fuel system though AND on e85 (which adds in another extra 100hp to a good tune anyway)
Well I didn’t exactly go the budget route. If you’re doing a swap and single turbo conversion at the same time you’re looking at 25k just in parts for sure.
It's crazy cause I saw the dyno video of this two days prior to this video, and all of a sudden you're driving it! Without a shadow of doubt, one of the cleanest G35 builds ever. Perfect power, perfect motor, perfect colour combo. Just everything is amazing on this.
G35's are so sexy! The rear end on the G35 is sex on wheels, the sound is incredible these VQ's make and they make great daily drivers with a good amount of power. They just click all the right buttons! VQ nation ftw!
I loved my G35 so much! It was a shame to see it go since it was such a fun car. I upgraded to a MK7 GTI but I do miss being RWD and sliding around. Happy to see someone really building this amazing machine.
The G35 Coupe platform is just utterly gorgeous. Any mods done clean with added serious power takes this car to breathtaking levels. The car in this video takes your breath away. Power. Aesthetics. Very well done.
Thats what I was saying he could of just swapped a built vq37vhr or de in there for half the price with a turbo kit and be making more than 600 hp but it is different tho
my favorite part of this video, is that you took the time to put a camera under the hood and get a functional shot of the turbo with enough light (somehow?) and it looked awesome
VQ is too limited, the Supra is my favorite car of all time and the 2J is my favorite engine. Hope to have one soon. The G35 is a great car but it would be 1000x better with a 2J, why spend 8k on a greddy twin turbo kit and then build the motor when a 2J is so much easier and can bolt to the CD009.
I think this is best review you have ever done so far. It really goes to show how far you've evolved. Keep up the excellent and quality work. I hope you always keep the same zeal I saw from you in this episode.
Good lord this is one of the most GLORIOUSLY sounding 2JZ builds I've ever heard. The turbine spool along with the BOV is literally straight out of Hollywood movie. Paul Walker (RIP) would approve.
since i have an accent i didnt want the audience focus on my story,just wanted u guys enjoy the video without my presence. here is my instagram: @mr.grigio_medio
mr.grigio _medio Sadly in this world I understand that. Although I love accents, they're all interesting and unique. Thanks for the info man. Have a good one
The good thing about swapping in a 2JZ is not having to deal with the rest of the Supra owning headaches - literally every single part you want or need to buy is outrageously expensive or it is not available to purchase. Quick comparison: transmissions. A brand new factory bought CD009 is $1800, a used V160 can be upwards of $10k. Another quick note: Supra steering wheels is around $1k. Yes.... the steering wheel. I am not even kidding, go look it up. Another comparison: any of the dash pieces. Last I saw a couple of the pieces (lower left and mid right) were over $1k. I am about to sell my 93 RSP/BLK MKIV 6-spd TT Supra. People always say 'if you sell it, you're crazy' but if you don't have a shitload of free flowing cash (tens of thousands) then it's not worth keeping a Supra. My future build will be a 370z with a 2JZ swap and I cannot wait.
He's as much a car guy as I am, I never suggested he wasn't. I just value education on subjects I care about. This isn't the first time he has made that statement about a WG. Just trying to help a dude, possibly in blue, out.
Bro, I am glad you had a great time. I have probably seen 50 of your vídeos, many reviews, and I have never seen you this well. That's great man. Keep it up.
Armour Shooter Nah that car is just stock with VS-KFs, his CRX would have been a better car to review if that dumb driver didn't hit him and he had kept it.
If you want to learn to play video games go to slaptrain. If you want to learn to fix your G35 visit my channel. Slaptrain has a bone stock G35 on cheap coilovers.
So what if its stock ? he has a passion just as you do, there is no need to down him just cause you have expensive parts. Im not on either side but you don't have to be ignorant.
hey man, the intro was nice and it made me think... what if you own up the fact that you´re a bad ass and make a video with background music and transitions and shot to support that fact.. something like chris harris or grand tour hahaha it´s worth trying right? I mean you´ve been trying a lot of new things lately, hopefully you´ll read this :D
Appreciate y’all stopping by!
Stay awesome and hope you enjoyed.
Do you know the guys insta? That swap is amazing!
Your videos are always better when you really give a crap about the car. Great to see the passion man.
bro can you try slaptrain g35 review,if you dont know him,check it out lol,he got 1+millions subs,im pretty sure you know him
Markez Singltary aha thanks I knew it
ThatDudeinBlue bro where did he get those tail lights i want them
All my G35 owners where you at !!
Gabriel Chavez hell yeah vq nation
Vq nation!
350z owner here. I'm the cooler brother anyway
Alexrob140 the little brother lol
Ohi
*a 2JZ swapped G is dope af! I️ love that color too and it looks great with the gold wheels!*
Not sure which i favor more... 2Jz or VQ. 2Jz is a dyno queen for sure, but i mean.... VQ is fucking beast. Was the Skyline motor for a long while (G35 is a skyline).
b00st3d BMW jkllttyuuuuui8oopoookoooooooooooo
A 2J is only a dyno queen if the builder ignored the aero & mechanical grip of the vehicle. Power is usless w/o traction for any vehicle.
Wait what? no , the VQ was not in any skyline. the RB's were. and its only the 350 Skyline Gt in japan.
GabGab1213 you mean the whole world lol. It's only the g35 in US etc.
That's gotta be the cleanest G35 out there. Big props to the owner
thanks Asar! owner's instagram: @grigio_2jzg35
mr.grigio _medio send me pictures of your car. I run an Instagram paged named @vqlife and would love to feature this car on the page.
Subscribe to my channel and click the bell! See my new Huracan LP610-4 VIDEO! Thanks car bros!
Except the missmatch hood color
You should look up some gs. But its nice.
"There is almost nothing done to the 2JZ..."
30 seconds later.
"It makes 600HP".
Well a regular 2jz can take alot of boost without needing upgrades so I assume he was referring to the engine only and not the turbo lol
yes sir, 2jz power man. simple bolt on, slap a turbo in it, it'll produce a lot of power.
It's not built, it literally has basic bolt ons. My EcoBoost with similar mods gets 400whp, so 600 on stock set up is very stout
This car has the 2jz GTE meaning it comes with a turbo from factory. unless you mean slap a bigger turbo in it, in which case you'll make all the power in the world.
I personally know the owner, he had a wastegate problem which limited him to just 600hp, he should be making around 900 afterwards.
No offence to any of the other cars u reviewed, but that's one of the best looking cars I seen u drive
Daynien Anderson hell yeah
awwwww yeaaaa
No that shit is hella ugly. Looks so douchey also
Levi R opinion noted
Levi R well the owner is kinda a douche lol
I️ love how when it cuts to the turbo spooling with closed captions it says [music]... yes... yes it is..
lmfao
6:30
I stopped cuddling with my gf to watch this
Gelenvader3 You best get comfortable on the couch then cause you're gonna be sleeping there 😅😅
Gelenvader3 smart man lol my ex didn't understand why I love my G35 "note" she's my ex for a reason
Story of my life brother.
You the real mvp!
lmfao man!
I have a supercharged G35 and this video just made my day would be so awesome to switch setups to this lol, amazing video bro
PM me> >I'd love to see your setup. Just picked up a G a couple months back.
theeverydaylife1 I have a few videos on my channel if you'd like to see, going to be uploading a lot more soon
Damn you got some fire ass videos tbh
AyDayDay haha thanks man
Psh Nitish, you're my favorite G35 of all UA-cam
One of my favorite builds so far. I absolutely love that car. The color and how it was built is on point. Big round of applause for the owner. I freakin love this car!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
owner's instagram: @grigio_2jzg35
The turbo whistle is intoxicating! Great video bro, keep it up👍
The G35 is a looker, stock or not, except for that heinous R35 replica kit
Ranshika Fernando There's a Vaydor kit for this car. Completely changes everything
• 5stars • Mustang isnt a Muscle car Yeah, there's a lot of cool kits for it
Omg i hate that R35 kit on the g35 and ive seen them modded on the 350z...its ridiculous
@@JDJD-mw9rr heres your sign
No
im still rockin my white 07 g35 coupe (first owner). 210k miles and going strong. not as nice as this car but long live the g35's
How’s it going with the g now?
@@dustinvq37 at 250k miles and going strong. Just put hfc like 5k miles ago. First performance mod
Original owner of a 04 coupe, just past 40k miles, still turn my head looking at it every time I park it even after all these years
I have a q60 now, but I miss my g35. It was my favorite car, had to let it go 3 years ago. Will probably buy another one at some point.
2:56 7 years , dope build don't happen overnight. This is motivation to me.
Finally someone reviewed this car, always seen it on dyno channels getting tuned
Oh my gosh! My new favorite review! Loved the shots of the turbo when it was spooling up, just amazing. The perfect build. Thank you David!
I've had my g35 since 03 probably the best investment I've made vehicle wise still looks and runs like new and it's my daily
Here here
Damn!.. good shit bro.
Same
I have 04 Coupe. Wow. I love it soooo much
It's good but the gas mileage is not
One of the coolest and well executed cars you have ever reviewed! Big props to the owner and everyone who had a hand in building that piece of functional ART!
appreciate that a lot my dude! Owner: @grigio_2jzg35
FINALLY A G35 THANK YOU DAVID
Mohamed Hussein you’re welcome!
Effing dream build right there. Very well done, looks perfect. Love it.
i want it
The sound is perfect....... Symphony of power hats off to that guy
My two favorite cars put together. Got mad love for the g35 since I use to own one. But my heart belongs to Supra. Beautiful car and beautiful setup.
When an add comes in mid turbo spool..
Jonathan Pitchford ha I just saw this comment right as it happened to me
Fy my heart nearly stopped
I think they did that shit on purpose
This video made me a believer of the g35. It made me immediately begin researching Craigslist for chassis along with eBay for 2jz/1jz engines.

Has 2 more seats than a 350
Saged Alawi That's why I got my G35 😁 imagine having fun with your buddies in that beast?
Erock And or bring along 2 Chicks in the back and your buddy in the front haha
Elite Gains almost there. 2 chicks in the back and another in the front, and another on my lap HAHAHA
Those rear seats don't count unless you're 4 feet tall they are useless. Your head is crammed against the rear window.
Aaron Franulovich I put people in the back of mine all the time. Ranging from 5'5 to 6'1 and no complaints
I watch this video every morning I swear
FINALLY A G35 THANK YOUU !! HOLYY
5:06 the VQ was actually designed around shortening the overall length of the motor, and move more engine mass towards the center of the chassis, as it's 2 rows of 3cyl. I'm actually surprised the straight 6 fits as well as it does.
So David the real question is. When are you going CD009 with a brake booster and a vented hood to finally sort out your car???
mattybeatzkidd this

This car is amazing. Props to the owner.
Loving the camera angles!! That turbo shot 👌🏾👌🏾
“Pretty near stock” “650hp” I wanna know where to get a nearly stock 650hp 2j
Edgar Duran lol right? That’s more than double the horsepower than a stock G
Stock 2jz internals are capable in making those numbers as long as fuel, timing, and tune are up to snuff
Edgar Duran Add a bigger turbo... Without sleeved block, with upgrades pistons, springs, cams, etc.. I would say that is certainly a lot of power. Bet he upgraded that fuel system though AND on e85 (which adds in another extra 100hp to a good tune anyway)
No shit. How about he says when u dont have the money to make your vq fast your somehow have enough for a 2jz swap. Wtf?
@@Jay_P86 these motors can take maxing out the turbo on stock intenals. So ecu tune. Uping the boost will get you a lot more power. IDK how much
That shot of the turbo inside the bay is awesome.
I am doing this swap right now. VVTI 2jz, BWS366, 264 cam, & a CD009 In an 03 diamond graphite coupe.
How much did it cost in total
How much was it??
Well I didn’t exactly go the budget route. If you’re doing a swap and single turbo conversion at the same time you’re looking at 25k just in parts for sure.

Carl Manney hell yeah that rear end is hypnotizing
Carl Manney i was following one the other day... i agree... i want one...
LonewolfSaichi not cuz i own one but they are beautiful cars and the sound when you accelerate is sexy
LonewolfSaichi Get one man, these cars make great platforms!
Carl Manney yeah, thinking about trading in my wrx for one, if i can find one here. Hawaii is limited lol
That turbo sound is literally orgasmic, I had my damn eyes rolled back lol
The G35 hasn't aged 😍
Still here watching in 2020!
I loved my G35 so much! It was a shame to see it go since it was such a fun car. I upgraded to a MK7 GTI but I do miss being RWD and sliding around. Happy to see someone really building this amazing machine.
Upgraded?? Those things will eat coil packs, plugs, oil like no other. Have fun with that headache.
The G35 Coupe platform is just utterly gorgeous. Any mods done clean with added serious power takes this car to breathtaking levels. The car in this video takes your breath away. Power. Aesthetics. Very well done.
What do you do when you wanna build a g35 on a budget? Spend 20k on a 2jz swap 😂
Thats what I was saying he could of just swapped a built vq37vhr or de in there for half the price with a turbo kit and be making more than 600 hp but it is different tho
Thank you you caught that too. What. What the budget? U mean when you can't afford to swap bottom ends of the block with a gtr to handle insane boost
That shot of the turbo was really good. 12/10 Cinematography.
You need to review Adams BMW.
Man that 2J is dope af, mad props to the owner for doing it right. Sounds incredible :)
MJ owner’s insta: @mr.grigio_medio
Man I love my vq but that 2jz is intoxicating. Z and G's are really good platforms to swap
DANG! That swap is crazy! Wow!
CANT GO WRONG WITH A G !!!
Please never stop! @thatdudeinblue your review vids got me back into JDM several years ago
2JZ in a Nissan skyline? That’s odd
BennettParsons1 exactly should have stayed with heritage and gone with an RB engine. Or twin turbo and rebuild the VQ.
BennettParsons1 LOL RIGHT, but it feels so right😭
2jz is way stronger and more reliable than the RB .plenty of videos tk answer why
Rb sucks.
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 this is not true. I think you just dislike them?
my favorite part of this video, is that you took the time to put a camera under the hood and get a functional shot of the turbo with enough light (somehow?) and it looked awesome
I'm in love g35 coupe sport!
i love how the interior is simple yet elegant
Was planning on boosting my stock G35, this changed my mind.
Nathan Montz I've always wanted to 2j swap mine tbh
Yea for the price of a whole kit you can find a whole 2j motor out there and do more power
VQ is too limited, the Supra is my favorite car of all time and the 2J is my favorite engine. Hope to have one soon. The G35 is a great car but it would be 1000x better with a 2J, why spend 8k on a greddy twin turbo kit and then build the motor when a 2J is so much easier and can bolt to the CD009.
This was tuned by Sound Performance about a week ago. They’re just the best when it comes to tuning here in the midwest.
I’ve been driving a G35 coupe for 12 years. My girlfriend hates it. I still love it.
I have had mine 8 years lol
I think this is best review you have ever done so far. It really goes to show how far you've evolved. Keep up the excellent and quality work. I hope you always keep the same zeal I saw from you in this episode.
Where can i get those taillights?
BY FAR ONE OF MY FAVORITE REVIEWS THIS YEAR! AWESOME DAVID!
i just bought a G35 and now I want to 2JZ swap it! :D
I had no idea those were a 4 seater. That thing is super sick. Cleanest G35 I think I've ever seen. Great job on the build. Love those tail lights.
Damn I'm in love with those taillights! Where can I find some like that??
Aaron Capulong jp customs LLC look them up on Facebook. They sell the kit used.
Aaron Capulong theyre pretty expensive
That view of the turbo from inside the engine bay was the best🤤
Drove all the way from Illinois, that's where I live
The G35 is timeless...never gets old.
Sold my G35 for an IS300. Miss that vq power tho
PhreshStudio why would u ever trade a g35 for ls300??
Do a GTE swap and I bet you won’t miss it 😂 Saying this from experience I GTE swapped both my IS and my 2GS
Nate OSRS cause that's a good ass deal.
Good lord this is one of the most GLORIOUSLY sounding 2JZ builds I've ever heard. The turbine spool along with the BOV is literally straight out of Hollywood movie. Paul Walker (RIP) would approve.
The G35 is actually the first skyline we ever got in America. In japan it is the skyline they just never made a GTR of this model
1992 Infiniti m30....Google it
Ive seen g35s with nissan and gtr badges .
Just saw this car in person and man does that paint just pop😍
RIP ears in the beginning, I'm using headphones.
To this day the best G35 I’ve seen on UA-cam
Seeing the shit dance around in the backseat is pretty sweet xD
You are back David! Killing it with the reviews, especially this one! such a genuine review, keep it up!!
We'd like to hear the owner say a little about how this build came about. You should consider that

Nah that car is just stock with VS-KFs, his CRX would have been a better car to review if that dumb driver didn't hit him and he had kept it.

Extremely well done. See car guys who know something put wheels and tires that fit on a car. None of that stretched look BS. This car's a monster.
Now review the orginal G35
Wow!!! Epic car!!! Way way cooler than any sports car with similar HP. The sound of a big turbo 2JZ is the most amazing sound one can have
well i know what im swapping if my vq ever blows.
SirVr6rio for real Lol 👍
Seriously considering
The reaction at 20 seconds is what every car enthusiast should look for when driving their car.
Every time I watch one of your videos I want to go spend money on my car
lol
Wooooooow those sequential tail lights are just the cherry on the cake sheesh. This how I'mma make my g if I get rich one day lol
His laugh sounds like a turbo giggle
The people or person who built this infiniti are absolutely amazing thank you for doing something different and exciting
thanks my dude! Owner: @mr.grigio_medio
