Those G35's will always be a timeless car to me. They still to this day break my neck [ edit: when I say break my neck I mean " damn that is a nice car"....] when I see one on the road. Love the coupes.
I Agree the G35 will be 1 of those cars that will always be Beautiful. How Beautiful is in the individual, but for me it's a 8/10 always...just like the E46 M3. And yes I have both...Love them for different reasons.
I bought a brand new G35 Coupe 6-Speed in 2006. At 11,000 miles I had a Turbonetics Single Turbo system installed. It added about 120 whp, wasn't the fastest street car, but was fun and reliable. It would lay down an honest sub-4 second 0-60 and I daily drove it almost 70,000 miles before selling it a few years ago. The G35/Z350 platform is worth looking at if you are considering a cool build that won't cost a fortune. Aside from all of that, it is actually a very nice and well built car.

BeauwiththeG Ya I had a DE G35 very comfortable cushy seats but the V36 is light years ahead. Even today the V36 build quality is considered decent. V36 just feels more solid and more refined all around handling everything but still has that soul.

@@danielnelson4881 What I meant is the 4 door G35 has the best ass but the G35/350 in general has the best exhaust. I didnt think there was gonna be confusion, I thought ppl would get what I was trying to say lol but I was wrong. Bad on my part there
Yeah sometimes I'm reeeeal smart. Like earlier this morning with zero sleep in me for example hahaha. I get what you were trying to say now... Without reading your most recent comment.. That actually almost had me confused again lol. I'm a dummy though, I get you were trying to say four door G35 is the car you think has the best rear end and stock exhaust out of ALL cars. For some reason I just thought you were talking about compared to the car in this video.. Idk. Anyway, I 100% agree with you! Dat booty dohhhh! Also not everyone can afford an exhaust at first and when they were still newer, when people still had warranties and the like.. People could be deterred from modifying their cars, I wouldn't say stock exhaust counts for nothing just because everyone hates stock exhausts! There's definitely something to be said for a good ass sounding exhaust from the factory, in my book anyway.
@@danielnelson4881 All good man, it took me so long to write it to make it short and sweet but make sense lol I 100% agree between LA rent prices no garage and not a crazy good job I'm like slowly stocking up parts for my Mk4 Jetta wagon. There's few good stock exhaust. The nxt part I want is a downpipe and exhaust maybe a slightly bigger turbo too.
I wanted a G35 for soooo long back in high school. Ever since I saw a black one driving on a highway, and the car seemed to vanish in between streetlights. Cool to see one as fleshed out as this.
@@brandonroth3972 The autos can't take much power your going to blow the transmission if you go the forced induction route, would need to snag a lvl10 transmission upgrade. Just a thought.
for some weird ass reason, the fx35 SUV technically has the 350z steering wheel (just with an infiniti badge). Like to the extent the airbags are even interchangeable. The G35 one is close, but not quite the same
Yeah I noticed the fx’s always took the z wheel rather than the g wheel. I think they took the one from the Nissan model because people at a dealership would see the g and fx wheel being the same
@@GuillermoFernandez-cm3bk All the videos point to 15-18k for reliable turbos. Budget on a stock motor about 10k. Cheapest kit is 2.5k rev9 but you have to tune and have supporting mods and installation...adds up quick

Well the 350GT is actually a skyline reference for the Asian market, but as much as I love my G37 a skyline she isn't its a shared platform and drive-line with the 350z. So as David has said its pretty much a Z in a tux.
@@BigHeadClan but you wish your g37 a skyline dont ya? haha. I love all these g35/37 and 350/370. but when I was in collage, I really dont have the money for the car and the extremely expensive insurance. the premium goes for 1.5k a pop. and here in California, we cant mod it too much. otherwise it wont pass smog check. I spent a great amount of nights craigslist shopping all these Z cars lmao
If you ever make it to Maine, ive got a fun car for you to drive. Not crazy crazy power wise but hangs with fast cars. It's a yellow c6 mallet hammer, manual corvette. It's boosted (procharger) ect. Hits instantly, blast to drive and sounds gnarly in high rpms. Right now it makes over 720 to the wheels on the dyno, not crazy numbers but in butt dyno numbers it feels faster haha
Out of the 350 the 370 or the maxima I would take the 350 because of it's reliability and accessibility and how cheap it is also the variety of parts you can put on it even the straight pipe lol
Depends, lots of DE's on 350z's drink oil, same with the Rev ups. Unless you're going HR 350z, 370z would be the better choice. Not to mention the interior is way better on the 370z
@@400Redsport oh my bad lol. Rev ups and DEs both drink oil. I'm in a few Infiniti groups and lots of DE guys say that their car drinks hella oil. But it's more on the rev up side like you said. Mines a 06 auto and doesn't drink oil. Just gotta find the right one

So just to be clear here... You think that the 4 door G35 has the best stock exhaust sound... As opposed to... The two door? Like... You think there's a discernable difference?
@@danielnelson4881 What I meant is the 4 door G35 has the best ass but the G35/350 in general has the best exhaust. I didnt think there was gonna be confusion, I thought ppl would get what I was trying to say lol but I was wrong. Bad on my part there
Yeah sometimes I'm reeeeal smart. Like earlier this morning with zero sleep in me for example hahaha. I get what you were trying to say now... Without reading your most recent comment.. That actually almost had me confused again lol. I'm a dummy though, I get you were trying to say four door G35 is the car you think has the best rear end and stock exhaust out of ALL cars. For some reason I just thought you were talking about compared to the car in this video.. Idk.
Anyway, I 100% agree with you! Dat booty dohhhh! Also not everyone can afford an exhaust at first and when they were still newer, when people still had warranties and the like.. People could be deterred from modifying their cars, I wouldn't say stock exhaust counts for nothing just because everyone hates stock exhausts! There's definitely something to be said for a good ass sounding exhaust from the factory, in my book anyway.
@@danielnelson4881 All good man, it took me so long to write it to make it short and sweet but make sense lol
I 100% agree between LA rent prices no garage and not a crazy good job I'm like slowly stocking up parts for my Mk4 Jetta wagon. There's few good stock exhaust. The nxt part I want is a downpipe and exhaust maybe a slightly bigger turbo too.
Enjoying all these Vq Video reviews 👌🔥
I wanted a G35 for soooo long back in high school. Ever since I saw a black one driving on a highway, and the car seemed to vanish in between streetlights. Cool to see one as fleshed out as this.
Finally a built + boosted DE on this channel.
damn thats crazy that with a de he was able to make 600 before building the motor. I'd have to see those numbers
I miss my G35.. love the RWD sedan :(
Dude you make great content
Nice, another G Coupe! The 350z might be a little more fun but this car is timeless. Can't wait to get mine running again soon with some gucci parts
Great vid! Can’t wait to get my Z completed.
G35 is definitely my favorite, if you can't tell lol. buut mine is also AWD
I'm currently looking at purchasing a mint 04 g35 coupe (auto) from a 90 yr old man! I'd likely just supercharge it, but a big turbo is tempting..
Hold out for the 6mt
^^^
The car is mint tho... only 64k original miles. I've already got a manual truck, auto g35 coupe to look good in is fine with me
@@brandonroth3972 The autos can't take much power your going to blow the transmission if you go the forced induction route,
would need to snag a lvl10 transmission upgrade.
Just a thought.
Problem is, manuals are over 10k in my area, with more miles. This auto is going for 7.5
for some weird ass reason, the fx35 SUV technically has the 350z steering wheel (just with an infiniti badge). Like to the extent the airbags are even interchangeable. The G35 one is close, but not quite the same
Yeah I noticed the fx’s always took the z wheel rather than the g wheel. I think they took the one from the Nissan model because people at a dealership would see the g and fx wheel being the same
If u had a motordyne on a turbo vq with equal end piping you’d be amazed how good a vq can sound - baby gtr
Thats what im building!
@@mnnasty8408 what you got done to ur coupe looks clean
I miss my G35, such good cars
Awd not too common for Nissan? Guess someone forgot the G platform also comes with Attesa awd.
Had a red coupe in 2014 miss it to this day
People that are starting to buy a VQ to boost it: oh wow nvm it’s way out of my budget
Boosted VQ fellas: haha you peasants
Hah yeah going FI on the VQ platform is pretty pricey, as pure NA builds they are great value and rock solid.
no cap tho, couldn’t afford to boost my HR G35 so I got a q50 redsport and i can get 650whp for the same price as 500whp in an HR
True not cheap, but big returns with a FI VQ. Love my Q... although NA. The platform Super reliable and fun to drive.
I’m saving up to boosting mine, estimated cost??
@@GuillermoFernandez-cm3bk All the videos point to 15-18k for reliable turbos. Budget on a stock motor about 10k. Cheapest kit is 2.5k rev9 but you have to tune and have supporting mods and installation...adds up quick
I'm on my second G, had a G35x sedan and now G37X coupe and love both. Bolt ons and tunes, neither are boosted yet. But, I did have one of the obnoxiously large Auto Meter tachs that Auto Zone sold on my second WRX lol
I love these cars. I worked on one when I was like 20 and I instantly fell in love. Great vid dude in blue.
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was goin to b good
The G35, I love em so much I actually went out and got me one
The 400z doesn’t have nightmares it gives them it’s the only “premium” Japanese sports car right now
And the car looks like absolute shit.
@@twitchingwithrage4683 r/immad
How exactly would a 400z scare this thing? LOL
@@twitchingwithrage4683 g35 is even more shit 🤡
@@michaels4640 it is. But you can’t sit there and say the 400z is a pretty car cuz it looks like absolute shit.
Love my G35
I absolutely love my VQ and all of its oil burning characteristics :)
After I’ve been driving my 03 35 sedan I want a manual, actually I need a manual
The VQ is only better because of cheapness and availability. THe VR is the future. Of course was developed from lessons learned on the VQ.
higher displacement + less weight
I get UG2 vibes from the G35 really an amazing car
David was being nice not saying that it sounds like a Trumpet , those V6's will always sound like 1 Jajaja.
oh yewah, especially with a certain exhaust lmao
Starts to rain. "good thing we have Michelin tires", than proceeds to check seatbelt lol. Love the G35 would love to have one as a project one day.
Makes me miss my VQ
M35 here I love it!
Love the G. Such a beautiful car
So impressed with this Build
Sweet build I'm excited had my 06 g35 coupe for about a year now looking at some mods soon
turbo'd VQ's kiiiiiiind of sound like a FBO VR30 if you close your eyes and just listen. not really, but sort of
other than that, what a gorgeous build!
This car just sounds so unique!
Well done G’s just hit different
well G35 in Asia is called 350GT from Nissan. so yea, it is a 350z
Well the 350GT is actually a skyline reference for the Asian market, but as much as I love my G37 a skyline she isn't
its a shared platform and drive-line with the 350z.
So as David has said its pretty much a Z in a tux.
@@BigHeadClan but you wish your g37 a skyline dont ya? haha. I love all these g35/37 and 350/370. but when I was in collage, I really dont have the money for the car and the extremely expensive insurance. the premium goes for 1.5k a pop. and here in California, we cant mod it too much. otherwise it wont pass smog check.
I spent a great amount of nights craigslist shopping all these Z cars lmao
If you ever make it to Maine, ive got a fun car for you to drive. Not crazy crazy power wise but hangs with fast cars. It's a yellow c6 mallet hammer, manual corvette. It's boosted (procharger) ect. Hits instantly, blast to drive and sounds gnarly in high rpms. Right now it makes over 720 to the wheels on the dyno, not crazy numbers but in butt dyno numbers it feels faster haha
Man the rain 🌧 really wanted to test to Michelin tires
Can you review my g35 sedan on methenal
Out of the 350 the 370 or the maxima I would take the 350 because of it's reliability and accessibility and how cheap it is also the variety of parts you can put on it even the straight pipe lol
Depends, lots of DE's on 350z's drink oil, same with the Rev ups. Unless you're going HR 350z, 370z would be the better choice. Not to mention the interior is way better on the 370z
@@omara9277 Rev up is a DE. The rev up is the DE that drinks oil like water, most normal DEs are fine and don't suffer the oil consumption issue.
@@400Redsport not all DEs are rev ups, only the ones produced in 2005-2007. Older manual ones are just DE.
@@omara9277 Yeah I know that, did you even read my comment? Lol wtf
@@400Redsport oh my bad lol. Rev ups and DEs both drink oil. I'm in a few Infiniti groups and lots of DE guys say that their car drinks hella oil. But it's more on the rev up side like you said. Mines a 06 auto and doesn't drink oil. Just gotta find the right one
