Tuned 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe Review - The B+ Student
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- I always see and hear Infiniti G35's on the road, but I've never really given them a second thought (because the more hardcore Nissan 350Z exists) - until now. Calvin's 2006 G35 coupe has been tuned and modified for occasional track use while retaining daily drivability. Let's find out if it's any good in the canyons!

nice to see a G35 get some love on the channel
Typical car guy conversation 'oh man your fly wheel is really responsive' hahaha love it
Really love my G35 even as an automatic for a daily driver, never let's me down. Being the non Rev up engine I don't have the oil consumption issue either. Drive the piss out of the car and it takes it last two and a half years. Next daily I want is a 370Z nismo
Riggs Motorsports buy an m3
CMara 369 I like Ms but I definitely prefer JDM. Better values imo
Riggs Motorsports the rev up oil consumption issue is a myth, yes it burns oil a little more than the non rev up but nothing major
Talking to tuners and doing extensive research they do burn more oil. If you have research that shows otherwise then feel free to provide it
Riggs Motorsports where did I say it didn’t burn oil? I said it does just not so much that it’s a major issue. I own a rev up myself I’d know...
Just got a 06 g35 coupe loving it so far!!
Cars will never be this good ever again.
You ain't never lied. I have a 2017 infiniti q60 and I would take back my 06 g35 in a second. Other than looks the G35 is better across the board
Absolutely love the exhaust sound of these cars. Even bone stock. In fact, even more than the G37...
The G35 and 350Z stock exhaust are the stock exhaust I've every heard don't know why Nissan dialed it down for G37 and 370Z smh..
Lol the "B plus student" got me laughing. You used to see them on the road all day. They're getting rare now. Just brought a mint 03 red coupe. Glad to be part of the z family
I'd love to see a comparison between this and a G37 coupe
Great job on this G! Had a 2006Z back when it was new. Had nearly the same setup only RPF1 wheels. Great job!
Finally a g35 gets reviewed on UA-cam
Recently rebuild an 03 G35 Sedan version got very lucky it was a Manual one too off Copart restored her back to replaced the tires, tuned her up and she’s up and running. And yes many of us that own these VQ dread the oil consumption issue but the powerband of this motor is too addicting.
Coupe’s are slightly heavier than Sedan because of additional reinforcement on the suspension. I feel the G35 early Gen will slowly get noticed by the car guys.
Rain Santiago
Dunno about '03-'04 but '05-'07 coupes are definitely lighter than the sedans.
My 350z is almost the same build lol. I have the brembo calipers and with stainless steel lines and swaybars and a plenum spacer and an even lighter flywheel. He has the wheels I want though. Clean car.
Emmanuel you should try and find the wheels from a sedan with the sport package. They are 18 instead of 19, they are one of the lightest wheels you can get for a 350z without spending 2k
Anthony Guarnieri haha believe it or not I actually found those 18s you are talking about. I sold them though because the offset for the g35 sedan is like +45 whereas the Z and g35 coupe is like +32 and I didn't want to run spacers. I actually found the 19s and thats what I'm running now.
Nice review! Just bought a 06 base 5at & love it
I am going to buy 35 coupe 2006. I am going to get second job but before that is it going to be reliable to do skip for one or two months?
Wow! Thought you were gonna Shi* on this car..
Good to see you show some love to the G35 Fenton.
You are a true car enthusiast.
Nice review. I always liked those cars. I am considering buying one as a second car. Could you do a 7th gen Celica GT-S 6 speed at some point. They are so underrated. I would let you do a review of mine but I am way in NJ lol
Will try to find one. If any owners in California have one, hit me up! 2ZZ ftw :)
Love my G, had it a year and every day I can't wait to drive it. Zero reliability issues with it, like owning a Sentra.
A celica is a UGLY toyota piece of SHIT
You guys look like y'all live in the Bay Area which back road is that so I can bring my G for a ride?
Thanks for the review of that great looking G.
These definitely are comparable to bmw 330/335. My dad bought a 330ci but was mainly looking at one of these as an alternative because of how comparable the performance is seemed to be. Though the bmw proved to be more practical and he knows how to do a good amount of mechanical work himself so it was more appealing.
Having reviewed the E46 330Ci ZHP, I'll say the ZHP is the more nimble and better handling car but the tuned G35 feels a lot quicker on straights.
I lusted for 335i myself before going for G35 Sedan, it’s tough to swallow the maintenance costs for it your fortunate your pops at least has patience to wrench on BMW.
James Fonda
BMW more practical?? Ok!
Thomas Berry that's what my dad told me, the trunk/backseats while down provided him with better room for his work equipment. Don't have to agree but that's why he did
James Fonda
Ahh... Practical in that sense. I figured you meant in an economical/day to day drivability sense.
"Real car guys" love to hate on these... and all non-"hardcore sports cars" in general. What a shame
Sadly, all of these G35s are getting riced/stanced out to hell. You don't clean ones anymore.
sdlausen there out there its because of how cheaply you can still get these cars at the moment eventually people will realize the overall balance of DD/handling and power the V35 FM platform. Values will eventually hold for clean non molested ones with MT for both variations and NISMO 350/370z.
I found one, it took awhile but got a super clean 6MT with 90k miles for $7500 and put about 3k into bringing it back to like new condition.
J Moe what model year. Just keep an eye on the oil consumption especially if you got the REV version of the VQ35.
Find a cheap coupe with a rebuildt title. I think there's alot more rebuildt (crashed amd repaired) coupes than riced out. If you want to find non modified G35's go with a sedan. All g35 coupe or sedan and 350z vq35de accelerate similar. And most are stock down to the fat oem tires. I personally don't like the G35 oem stance. The wheel gap is 4x4 while bmw's wheel gap is more sporty. So if you get a g35 sedan, a low profile tires and bigger wheels(18"-19") is a must. The coupe stance is fine (including its oem wheels) but half an inch to an inch lower won't hurt and would look better
Rain Santiago It's an '03, non rev-up.
I had a 2006 G35 coupe but i got rid of that in 2016. Now I have a 2008 IS250 as my other car, but my main on now is a 2018 Corolla. I miss having a G35 sometimes.
I walked g37s with my n54 07 sedan automatic Few were surprised my automatic was doing it to them
I got an 06 manual coupe too.
me as well!
you guys are lucky. I hope i will own one
You can make a whole ass sandwich between them shifts 😂
Very informative video
Hitting the treadmill helps losing weight too. But for weight reduction why not completely strip the interior?
you should do a review between the g37 and the Hyundai genesis 3.8. a review between the evo 10 and the genesis 2.0t (2013) it has the same motor from the evo10. the 13 model of the genesis has a bigger factory turbo then the 12.
FINALLY MY CAR!!!
Always like the g35 sound better then a 350z
Man idk what's wrong with my g35 but I have an 05 six speed and mine doesn't pull like this one at all I'm definately losing power, that sucks.
Deftones 26 When is the last time you changed the spark plugs? They’re responsible for a lot of power lose. Make sure you go with stock.
CocainaBlaze how come you recommend stock over a aftermarket spark plug ?
these cars are too heavy for the power they have. Needs turbo or supercharger. G37s has decent power tho.... again heavy af.
Why are Americans obsessed with test pipes. On a Na car the gain is tiny, not worth breathing more poison..
Art Vandelay because it makes the exhaust louder
Art Vandelay
Nobody wants to hear your louder ass farts that are saturated w/ 10x's more poison than most. Would never mentioned it til you brought it to mind though.
Art Vandelay some Americans. Some people just don’t give a shit. It’s a shame.
No, On a G35 that's an easy 8-15whp gain. They're cheap and on a NA car every little helps.
Michael Cohen
Dude there are thousands more semi trucks on every road in America, not to mention the rest of the world.
The small percentage of vehicles with test pipes, comparatively, makes absolutely no difference in the grand scheme of things. Go find something else to bitch about
Really 275 at the wheels N/A? from those mods.
dyno vid is on my channel
No sunroof 🤔 also interesting if you get an extended warranty Nissan will replace your short block 🤔
Good eye! That’s super rare. The sunroof is the main reason I chose the G35 over the 350z. Gotta have it.
I'd read somewhere that sunroof were standard equipment on G35s but apparently not.
You should review the The 135i or 335i. They are absolute monsters compared to these Nissans. I owned a 135i with intake, intercooler and tune and that’s easily over 400hp and maybe 450 torque. Much faster than the V8 M3 let alone these Nissans. I had a G35 before that and my wife has an EX35 which is basically a G35 hatchback. I love the Nissan V6. It’s fun to wind it out and it sounds great. The N54 basically dies at 5000 rpm. There’s not much joy in changing gears because there’s power everywhere. Need to pass on the highway? Don’t even bother downshifting. I miss mine some but it was hard to find places to really put the power down.
Another interesting BMW is the E90 335D. 425 torque stock. It’s a niche car but it has a following and tuners. Pulls like a big displacement V8.
Yep I'm itching to review tuned a 135i/335i with the N54. I've driven stock examples and they were quick but kind of bland. A manual 335D sounds like the perfect daily driver for mpg + torque!
Which would you rather get s2000,370z or 350z
Depends on my budget, and what I would use the car for! But you know I'm biased af :)
I have the g35 sedan and a s2000 , They are both nice car, s2000 is a go kart on the road , and the g35 is more powerful in comparison for daily basis, but on the canyon the s2000 is breath taking!
s2k all day !!!!! Future classic
G35 it’s a nicer 350
Had an S2000 and DD'd it for 6 years and now have an 370z. As a fun track car/weekend toy the S2000 is hands down the better car, sharp handling, fun engine, top down? and is just a sexy car. Now as a mostly street driven car with a track day or two the 370z is the better choice, better power band, more space and is just a better cockpit to be in everyday or for long periods of time. I also enjoy modifying the 370z more than my S2k just because the S2k was pretty much maxed out from factory the Z goes a longgg way with mods. Both very fun cars and great platforms to start from I dont think you can go wrong with either one IMO.
270 hp after the intake and test pipes plus tune?
On a DE your not gonna get much more then 270whp on pump gas.
Dropping 5k on one. Is it fast?
Yeah there pretty quick
Yes, drop dem bands.
There fast but nothing special. 0-60 is realistically like 6 seconds, the g37 does it in about 5-5.6 seconds. But the g37’s have the gallery gasket issue, which is stopping me from buying one.
Extended warranty lol they call me for my mk5 I wanna either get a g35 or mazda speed 6
[Edit I sold it when I was in tech school last year]
这个车几个油啊
Got my g35 foe 1000 stop playing 😂
Heard these cars go through the rear tires like the NSX
Andrew
Nope
Nope. The front. Smaller wheels = More revolutions. More revolutions= More tire wear.
They do. I had a 06 6mt coupe and went through a set of rears in less than 2 years of driving. Almost as bad as my mr2 turbo.
Oil consumption and crap clutch master cylinder ruined this car
The sound is different on the infiniti vs the z because the infiniti models have a dual exhaust and the z has a single
They both came stock with dual exhausts
I've always found G35 super duper ugly, but damn they are good value in Australia. Torn 🤔
