- In this video, I show an overview of LS Swapping my 2004 Infiniti G35X Sedan. The project took 1 year to complete, and several things had to be custom fabricated to make everything work. Overall, it came out great and drives better than I expected.
If you have any questions on this build, feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best to answer your questions.

Glad I seen it done people said it can’t be done to the g35x
I’ve always loved GM v8 engines… I have an 05 G35 coupe…. I should swap mine 👍👍
Thank you for posting this it was very informative. Wiring Specialties sells their canbus module by itself now if you ever wanted those factory gauges to work. Love this build though I have an 04 sedan im about to throw a 4.8 in.
Im doing a 4.8 ls with a 4l60 transmission and trying to get an ideal of measurements mine is going in an 07 g35x
Seems like you just needed to bleed the coolant system correctly, if you don’t have hot heat there’s still air in the system, gotta bleed them on jackstands no spill funnel attached heat blasting while revving it at 3k til heat comes back
What happened to the Cluster... It's different
@@InspirationalMicrophone-uf9gsinstalling the Holley Terminator X takes away the signal for the tachometer and engine temp from the dash gauges. I have all that on my small display instead though
Now do mine 🤣 great video bro helps me decide what I want to do
Lol it took so much time and stress I don’t think I’d do it again anytime soon 😂 but if you need some details on it let me know and I’ll try to help
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro did u buy a kit to wire it?
@@RicoBshooting117 I bought the Holley Terminator X and the supporting wire harnesses for it
Nice build! Can I see the oil pan fitment under the car please?
Sure no problem, do you have Instagram or something I can send it to you on?
my guy lmaooo, i knew you had to be from middle tn. We got all the z/g's out here lol, im from smyrna/ lavergne
Lol small world 😂 I’m in Murfreesboro area
Hey im thinkin about swapping a 5.6 from a titan into my g37, I was wondering if there are any good websites to use for parts like mount-wise. Or anything you can think of will help
@@nicksouksavong9252 honestly between Summit Racing, JEGS, ebay, and Amazon, that’s where I bought everything to build my G35
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro thanks
I’m doing the same swap on my 08 g35 what oil pan did you use
@@ExcoCockheran I can’t remember the exact one I got, but it’s similar to the one on JEGS.com part# 555-50228
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro thanks I appreciate that a lot I would like to ask u about some other things because I’m kind of lost first time ever doing this
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro what about A.C and alternator?
I haven’t got the AC working yet. The alternator, they sell adaptors online that go to 1-wire with a resistor that you connect to your ignition switch to tell it to start charging when the key is on. This is just an example, you’d have to make sure you get the correct connector. Holley.com part# 197-400 they sell them on Amazon too, which is where I think I got mine
I completely understand, I’ll try my best to help answer any questions. Just take your time with it and enjoy it
Hey boss man I had a question 🙋♂️ I wanted to do this to my 2010 g37 sedan what all would I need ? Can you point me in the right direction?
Without writing a book, I would suggest to go ahead and get your engine, transmission, and a Holley EFI (Terminator X is what I used), along with the wire harnesses compatible with your build. I really don't recommend using a ECM with a conversion wiring harness, I tried that and it didn't work at all (even with customer support), it was a waste of 2k and wished I just went with the Holley EFI system upfront. I don't know fitment of an LS in a G37, but if it's like mine you'll need a low-profile oil pan and low-profile exhaust manifolds. You'll also need the engine mounts (we custom made mine with some square tubing and 1/4" plates) With all that, you should be able to start fitting things together.
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro thanks man
I watched the whole video but maybe I missed where you talk about it. Do you get to keep the AWD or does this just become RWD now?
It had to become RWD
What did you do to eliminate the front drive wheels?
We changed the front control arms and wheel hubs to the 2WD versions. Very important that you change the front wheel hubs to the 2WD version though because if you leave the ones with the spline center in, the wheel hubs will split apart and the wheels will fall off. (Almost learned the hard way) so apparently the front axles bolted on the AWD hubs are what keep them together when there’s weight on the car.
What the driveaxle measurement
The measurement of my driveshaft was 50.5”
Is that transmission seal to flang and if so do you remember the measurements of seal to the end of the out put shaft
What manifolds did you use?
@@Sidewayzrik sorry didn’t see your comment until now… their called low profile LS manifolds if I’m not mistaking, I bought them on eBay fairly cheap
I’m think of doing this in the next few weeks but how hard is it?
It was a ton of fabrication, troubleshooting, and problem solving. From figment to routing hoses and making everything functional, it’s definitely a challenge, but it’s totally worth it in the end if you’re patient enough. If you’re putting the 5.3L Vortec engine in it like mine, I highly suggest replacing the rear seal before putting it in, my truck has that leak, and my G35 has that leak, it’s apparently a common issue with that motor. I wish I had changed mine before putting it in because I’ll have to pull the motor again to replace it eventually.
How was it swapping an automatic? Im swapping my G now I went with the 4l80 transmission what did you do about drive shaft and rear end ?
Transmission wasn’t too bad, I had to do some fabrication for the shifter cable to connect to the stock shifter. The drive shaft, I had the yoke to the transmission and the receiving end of the diff in hand, after measuring everything I took those to a local driveshaft shop and they fixed up a custom driveshaft to go in it. The rear end is all stock, i swapped the diff with a buddy’s coup diff, he had 3.69 ratio, and with a 4L60 the ratio worked better for highway speeds. I run about 2500rpm at 70mph. 4L80 is definitely the better way to go, I did 4L60 because it came with the motor. I have a 4L80 going in my drag car though 🔥 HMU on IG if you need any pics or anything to help with your build (@whitetigerss_camaro) I’ll be happy to help!
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro oh ok cool I was thinking about using the 370z Locked diff and upgrading my axels to the ones that hold 500hp I’ve been looking for a place that makes custom drive shafts you know anyone?
@@frankensteing3534 if you live in the Nashville area, Dave’s Driveshaft is the one that did mine. If you want to order online though, “Precision Shaft Technologies” seem like a good shop to order from. (www.pstds.com) I’ll be ordering my Camaros drive shaft from them since they can make some high power driveshafts
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro cool thank you I’ll check them out
What headers are u using
I think their called LS Block Hugger Headers, I got them off eBay
@@WhiteTigerSS_CamaroDid y’all try using the truck exhaust manifolds at all? Seems like they might work without the flanges but not sure 🤔
@@bishop94z we did, the truck manifolds pointed directly into the steering rod if I remember correctly. Seems like the passenger side was squeezing up against the firewall too, it just didn’t fit good at all
i currently am in the final stages of my 2008 g35x swap. when it comes to starting the car, how were you able to get it to turn on with the key? i have a push to start and i assume it would be similar.
and where were you able to find the intake? i have the 4.8 and i haven’t been able to find a hose to match
@@aydenmcginley6612 I’m not sure how the push to starts are wired, the key has a wire that comes off that will go to your starter relay. As for the intake, I measured for the size of it and ordered an intake filter tube through Amazon. Spectre makes pretty good ones
@@WhiteTigerSS_Camaro alright awesome. thanks man
i have another question regarding the car. the hose worked perfectly and i appreciate the help with that, but how were you able to connect the g35 shifter to the 4l60e?
@@aydenmcginley6612 that was actually kinda tricky, we had to buy a shifter line and custom fabricate it to fit to fit both the shifter and transmission, kinda hard to to explain without showing it
Did you use a company for motor mounts or did you fabricate your own?
We fabricated our own out of 1” square tubing and 1/4” flat plates
Did you fabricate your own due to regular g ls swap mounts not working ?
What oil pan did you go with also what wireing harnesse did you use?? Or did you use your own made harnesses?
I’m trying to do a swap similar to this can you add me? I’ve got questions lol
lol sure, I’m @whitetigerss_camaro on Instagram, just let me know you’re the dude with questions on the G 😂👍
What oil pan did u use on your swap
It was a low profile oil pan I found on eBay
