I blame Nissan for installing the equivalent of a single Cheeto as a deadlock for their anti-theft system. Stupid easy to bypass, so they get stolen & sent to death at sideshows since it’s so easy to get the back end sliding
As a g37 owner I love seeing this car drivin the right way and not takeovers such a great platform very reliable can redline all day with no issues as long as you take care of maintenance
thanks Misha for taking an infiniti on the track! there is a huge fanbase mostly in US/Canada for the G35/G37/Q50/Q60 both in stock and modified forms. It's a great platform and quite inexpensive. Next you need someone to get you a Q50/Q60 Red Sport 400 AWD (3.0TT V6) on the ring!
@@shanebrownlee69completely bone stock 100 percent yes. But I mean I could see it if it has an aftermarket heat exchanger at the least because with the q’s the main problem is the stock heat exchanger is absolutely trash.
@@shanebrownlee69it’s actually very reliable. It has 1 major faults. Which is the oil pump variable control solenoid getting stuck on the low pressure setting due to excess metal in the oil. Which would be caused by lack of maintenance. It’s a 60 dollar part that will oil starve your engine. The turbo seals blowing are caused by excessive crankcase pressure and or oil pressure inside the turbine housing. If the car is immediatey turned off after running it hard the oil will cook inside the turbine and create carbon deposits which will greatly increase the pressure inside blowing out the turbo seals. The excessive crankcase pressure is caused by the pcv valve forced shut due to boost in the intake manifold. The boost is greater than the crankcase pressure causing the oil to blow out the turbo seals as they are a weaker point. This is all preventable with maintence and an oil catch a with a breather. People say the vr30 is weak because they buy a used q50 with 3 previous owners for cheap. What do you expect will happen?😂 that thing has been beaten up and an addition of 10k mile oil changes on 0w20 which any person will tell you that is terrible on a boosted platform.
Nice to see the passenger just enjoying the lap and not fishing for compliments or bringing up the Porsche comparisons or whatnot. At 6:00 that's just car enthusiast connection haha. No extra words needed. Sometimes all is well haha. Great car, driver and passenger.
I love old infinitis and I'm a hugs fan of the VQ37HR platform. These cars are gems in the right hands and I'm so glad you could showcase what it can actually do!!!👌
This is so cool! you make it look so easy! as a g37 owner here never expected to see such a thing driven here and that too on your channel with you driving it! 😃😃😃😃 awesome!!
Me, too. I am very happy to see an Infiniti here. I have a 2015 Q50S and never expected the kind of handling and performance from a mid to large sedan. Same engine. Also extremely quiet inside.
In the US many are ragged out, beaten to hell by teens, or as the urban sports car, weaving through traffic, wrecked in police chases, and doing donuts in the middle of the street with 3 buddies hanging out the window. You don't come across nice ones very often.
@@ATICrossX That would be the Altima. Prices ARE down on G37, but really only available to kids with decent parents (moneywise). Owned one for 12 years with only an exhaust. Only thing done was maintenance, and a radiator.
@@volvo09 Yep I test drove and did pre purchase inspections on 8 of the closest G37s sedans and every single one needed something major fixed(steering column rebuild etc). Decided to change it up and looked at a F30 335i and still have it 3 years later. I sometimes do wish I was able to find one in good condition
@@ThatsDTI got lucky buying a g35 from a grandpa in highschool about 5 years ago it had a with about 76k miles was an auto but I swapped a 6mt in it . The guy was the first owner and had all services up to date the car now , has 187k miles and has been reliable to me I’m going to do a rear turbo setup on it now that I just have it sitting lol .
Sport pack comes with Akebono 4 piston front and 2 piston rear calipers with larger diameter rotors, thicker front and rear sway bars , firmer coil springs and struts/shocks, a limited slip rear differential and then a different front bumper with a rear spoiler with the third brake light mounted inside of it. You also get different seats with power adjustable thigh and hip bolster support and manually extending leg supports. Automatics come with metal magnesium paddle shifters . All RWD sport models have staggered wheels, the rears are wider than the front from factory. The “X” models have Nissans ATTESSA Awd system which is always in RWD and only sends power to the front when it detects slip, it’s a 100-50% rear biased system
I smiled all the way around the track because of that lovely young lady,she smiled continuously and it is lovely to see happiness. Keep up the good work. Ellery uk 🇬🇧
These cars are truly slept on even when it comes to the newer q50 redsport with the right suspension and wheel setup these cars truly handle really good and can keep up with cars twice the price, not to mention the aftermarket support is really good for performance
I was watching a video on the skyline V37 3.0t in Japan they were taking it on the track it's just they said that they were scared of breaking something on the car so they didn't put it to its full potential only thing they really pointed out is the car NEEDS AIR To AIR on the circuit to breathe .
Great video. I have a 2013 g37x and I’ve had it for years now. It’s sadly starting to have problems, but this beast definitely lasted me, especially since it was my first car. These things are highly slept on, especially due to all of the memes and hate they get. This car also beats most cars you typically see on the road.
Thank you for taking this one on, Misha! These were really special cars in their time, and not enough people caught onto them. The S model (specifically) was the true gem: it received the larger (nicer) wheels, larger front brakes with 4-pot calipers, and was available with a 6-spd manual like the one seen here. Base models received an adequate 5-spd auto; S models with the A/T received paddle shifters on the wheel. Regretfully, FPFQ caught up with them here in the 🇺🇸 , just as it did the 04-06 GTOs: “falling prices, falling quality”…what was once a car to be proud of, is now owned by some pretty terrible people. The average G35/G37 owner over here seldom respects the car, or the people around them. If you can find a well-maintained G37S sedan with low-ish miles, it’s a wonderful daily, or a sweetheart of a weekend car. ❤️ 🙌 🇯🇵
I found a '13 G37x Coupe in near mint condition last year, not even door dinged. Was happy to grab it, it's beautiful and I don't have to worry if I get caught in snow.
Aww!! My first ‘real’ car when I got my first job out of university in 2009! Had two of them back to back…which started my journey through so many fantastic cars! Will always remember my G35X and G37X sedans…and then Stillen intakes I put on those monsters lol 😊😢
That's freaking cool! G37S sedans with manual transmission are almost impossible to find, I've got the automatic one that I periodically use for autocross, and honestly it's such a responsive car, the steering feel is excellent, and because it's a longer wheel base than 370Z that it's based on, it feels more composed, not so eager to go sideways.
We`ve seen the biggest toughest guys are scared to death on the passenger seat, but then all theese ladies are smiling the whole time and just having a great time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a pleasant surprise to see you driving a G37S on the ring! Glad you enjoyed it. Very low mileage on that one at only 107k km. I have a 2008 6mt coupe in the exact same colour combo and still love it after 12 years of ownership. I hope to get to 300k km in the next year or so and many more miles of enjoyment beyond that. I run mine year round in Canada. All stock except for an upgraded clutch, flywheel and muffler delete. Interesting you compare it to an M5. I briefly considered an E39 M5 before I got my G37 but maintenance costs scared me away from the BMW.
@@360fanboy360they’re very rare, even the Q(X)30 which was their entry level car is rare if it comes manual, not even sure they offered it. But I’ve seen some manual G37s and Q50s too which is even rarer it seems.
Nice lap Misha. I have the same engine in the FX37s SUV……Not for track obviously but still Nissans best engine. My FX has sport mode & adaptive suspension… corners flat….. I noticed these weren’t on the dash so obviously not present in the G. The engine is VQ37HR…. HR = High rev. They were designed to be driven as you did there. Not many V6 rev out to 8k. 😊😊
The FX is essentially a G with a little more ground clearance and a different shell they're identical when it comes to the drivetrain and floor of the chassis. Take it to your local track and let it eat man 😅
I used to drift the hell out of mine especially on dirt. The FX is amazing, it aged very well, it’s powerful for its size and it’s way more reliable than an X3 or a Q3 or something
G37 sedan is only 200-300lbs heavier than a 370Z with a longer wheelbase, an amazing highway car that does better than people expect in the twisties. I have a 2013 which will out accelerate the one in the video here (until about 114mph when the 6MT gearing is better) and it's very underrated.
@@elijahjohnson4491 7AT. Better gear ratios over the 6MT until 5th which as noted above starts at 114mph. The 5 speed Auto is the slowest of the bunch, the 7 speed is a nice improvement.
Awsome lap as always Misha! I almost bought one of these years ago. Instead, I went with a used 335i... every time it broke, my wallet reminded me that I should have gone with the G 😅
This I’d honestly love to see more of, for starters it’s amazing to see something different on the channel but secondly it’s even more amazing to see a bone stock family sedan with a well known motor being driven so well & even passing higher performing vehicles around the track. Hope to see another one of these on the track. Those G37’s can move. That’s coming from someone who own’s an AWD one 🤙🏻 Awesome driving as always Misha👍🏻
Despite a car that is infamous for youths swerving through traffic in American highways and being heavily modified, this car is no doubt fun to drive even if you got your kids in the backseats. Let alone bringing your own car to the nurburgring for the first time is so fun anyway too.
Nice to see one of these here. Judging from the driving and body language from mischa the platform is indeed pretty good and he seemed comfortable driving the car hard. It has a bad rep as others have said but it’s def one of the better cars Nissan has made (it’s basically a 4 door skyline, not GTR mind you)
I had a g37xS sedan 2013 model which I bought brand new in 2012 until 2023. It was a great car that I can really drive hard. Great for driving aggressively around town and on normal highway speeds. It was very maneuverable and quick on its feet but stable. Only improvement it needed was a better highway ride/feel for a more stable experience at speeds over 90. Infiniti needs to bring back a new generation and steal some 3 series sales.
awesome video! If a G37 can survive a takeover and abuse from those clowns you see on tiktok, then it can definitely take a lap of the ring. Great to see one of these fine sport sedans getting loved and driven as intended! :)
I was lucky to purchase this car , it was a direct import off Japan the name off the car is called Skyline 370 GT . Two issues occured one the oil gallery gaskets where blown I think they where made I think off rice-paper rectified . Second one blown head gasket also rectified. After that no issues . Remapped the ICU now that made the car what it is now an high performance unit. Coilovers plus Michilin tires staggerd that made the car a high performer . Best car I ever owned.
I used to have the Infiniti g37xs which is the awd . It was a cool car at the time my only issue was it was a very sluggish transmission 7 speed automatic .
Excellent lap, this car looked right at home on the 'ring. I hope someone offers you a drive in an Infiniti M56x someday. They're pretty rare, but I've always been curious of their track potential.
Hell yeah I got so excited when I saw you drive the G I love my G37 I wanna buy another one for a fun track day car my daily is AWD sedan quick but definitely not fast better tires coilovers and sway bars and she will be on rails
In Europe you’ll mostly see Diesel/hybrid Q50s and Q30/Qx30 and some FX/EX/Q60 here and there with other models being rare, but seeing an Infiniti of any model is uncommon.
Absolutely amazing segment Misha, showcasing a 14 year old; BONE STOCK car. A great testimony and a HUGE thanks to NISSAN MOTOR GROUP putting together this INFINITY G37S platform 👍🏼. Comes to show the well craftsmanship of this model and era of this car. This baby was still able to corner well (despite its fully equipped HEFT and factory 14 year old suspension 😂 brakes and street tires) it still managed 240Kph ON THE STRAIGHTS!😂 WOW! Shout-out to that wonderful couple (and that cute ❤️ lady was an AMAZING SPORT. Great attitude the entire TIME 👍🏼). I’m glad they’ve been keeping and maintaining this gem 💎 of a car… AND IT HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSION + awd! Super rare here in the states 🇺🇸 (most of these models have been unfortunately been beaten to death by now). Thanks again Misha for being a great host to these great fans of your work and channel 👍🏼
Wow,. I had no idea these were sold in Europe! I have a nearly identical spec! US-spec, 2009, Slate Blue, 6-speed manual sedan G37S. Mine is missing the 4WS and mine has a black interior. Perhaps I should take mine to a track instead of the Miata sometime.
I hate how people use these cars now days, I still own one, best car I’ve ever owned. Plenty of better things out there but for the price the are pretty nice
Please keep your G’s! You’re gonna regret giving it away! Beautiful car that comes with great power! Just a few bolt ons on these car, wake it up! Plus these cars are gonna be valuable and be a classic JDM car ❤
I feel like she wanted to say things but had a language barrier, I’m from Spain also and not many people here speak English at all. But she enjoyed it, was smiling all the lap, and was a good sport. Nice car, it performs exceptionally well. Cheers.
Its crazy how well this car performs despite being completely and utterly stock and daily driven by a german woman lol. Imagine if it actually had some performance pads, actually sticky tires that arent all seasons, stiffer suspension, and maybe some bolt ons. I wanna see him hawking these people down in a G37 lol.
It looked like it was a nice drive these old fm platform cars were and still are amazing for the time. My mother had the larger M35x and it was a very nice car comfortable and good on a backroad. She still talk about that car almost 20 years later. The quality was phenomenal, now it’s cheap even on an $80k car.

This I’d honestly love to see more of, for starters it’s amazing to see something different on the channel but secondly it’s even more amazing to see a bone stock family sedan with a well known motor being driven so well & even passing higher performing vehicles around the track. Hope to see another one of these on the track. Those G37’s can move. That’s coming from someone who own’s an AWD one 🤙🏻
Awesome driving as always Misha👍🏻
I got a 13 g37s manual convertible 2 yrs ago that now has 53k miles. This car makes all my daily drives such a blast
She is so adorable I own a g37x for 4 years and still run strong
Despite a car that is infamous for youths swerving through traffic in American highways and being heavily modified, this car is no doubt fun to drive even if you got your kids in the backseats. Let alone bringing your own car to the nurburgring for the first time is so fun anyway too.
Owner is like first time seating in a car :😄😁😁😄😆😃😁😆😅🙂😃😀
Nice to see one of these here. Judging from the driving and body language from mischa the platform is indeed pretty good and he seemed comfortable driving the car hard. It has a bad rep as others have said but it’s def one of the better cars Nissan has made (it’s basically a 4 door skyline, not GTR mind you)
Underrated bang for your buck car
It´s so nice to watch when someones face is lighting up like this. :) You certainly made her happy and in turn him too :)
I have manual G37S coupe for a year and love it. For the weight over 1700 kg its pretty nimble.
Great seeing JRM on the ring! Lexus, Infinity, and Acura are all excellent daily drivers.
Yes, too bad that they're super rare here. Especialy Acura, they're basically non existent in Germany.
Imagine being the guy in that 911 and seeing this 14 year old beast go flying by.
As it turned out, it was worth how long I waited🙏❤️
This was unexpected one , happy to see you driving the g37 and even manual ❤.
awesome couple very positive people!
I had a g37xS sedan 2013 model which I bought brand new in 2012 until 2023. It was a great car that I can really drive hard. Great for driving aggressively around town and on normal highway speeds. It was very maneuverable and quick on its feet but stable. Only improvement it needed was a better highway ride/feel for a more stable experience at speeds over 90. Infiniti needs to bring back a new generation and steal some 3 series sales.
Back when Nissan/Infiniti made really fun cars.
I love that Misha is bringing regular or oddball cars at the ring, its really refreshing seeing those kinds of cars in the track
awesome video! If a G37 can survive a takeover and abuse from those clowns you see on tiktok, then it can definitely take a lap of the ring. Great to see one of these fine sport sedans getting loved and driven as intended! :)
I loved how she enjoyed it 🫡🫡
I was lucky to purchase this car , it was a direct import off Japan the name off the car is called Skyline 370 GT . Two issues occured one the oil gallery gaskets where blown I think they where made I think off rice-paper rectified . Second one blown head gasket also rectified. After that no issues . Remapped the ICU now that made the car what it is now an high performance unit. Coilovers plus Michilin tires staggerd that made the car a high performer . Best car I ever owned.
I used to have the Infiniti g37xs which is the awd . It was a cool car at the time my only issue was it was a very sluggish transmission 7 speed automatic .
I love watching porsches and exotics here but theres something about a normal drive around car being put through its paces that makes me smile
Excellent lap, this car looked right at home on the 'ring. I hope someone offers you a drive in an Infiniti M56x someday. They're pretty rare, but I've always been curious of their track potential.
Hell yeah I got so excited when I saw you drive the G I love my G37 I wanna buy another one for a fun track day car my daily is AWD sedan quick but definitely not fast better tires coilovers and sway bars and she will be on rails
Thanks Misha. Great to See a Family Vehicle on the Track
Finally a video of a G37 on the Nurburgring! Love it
That must be rare car in Germany 😅
Yes and what's even more rare is Accura
In Europe you’ll mostly see Diesel/hybrid Q50s and Q30/Qx30 and some FX/EX/Q60 here and there with other models being rare, but seeing an Infiniti of any model is uncommon.
she really did smile the whole lap
You can see the disappointment when the lap was over, She was loving it! It's like me on a rollercoaster again again lets go!
It was a pleasure to see you enjoy this one as an owner as well:) bone stock no less!
this is a nice change of pace! Great video
My favorite vehicle. Under rated machine
Absolutely amazing segment Misha, showcasing a 14 year old; BONE STOCK car. A great testimony and a HUGE thanks to NISSAN MOTOR GROUP putting together this INFINITY G37S platform 👍🏼. Comes to show the well craftsmanship of this model and era of this car. This baby was still able to corner well (despite its fully equipped HEFT and factory 14 year old suspension 😂 brakes and street tires) it still managed 240Kph ON THE STRAIGHTS!😂 WOW! Shout-out to that wonderful couple (and that cute ❤️ lady was an AMAZING SPORT. Great attitude the entire TIME 👍🏼). I’m glad they’ve been keeping and maintaining this gem 💎 of a car… AND IT HAD MANUAL TRANSMISSION + awd! Super rare here in the states 🇺🇸 (most of these models have been unfortunately been beaten to death by now). Thanks again Misha for being a great host to these great fans of your work and channel 👍🏼
Its RWD 😊
Wow,. I had no idea these were sold in Europe! I have a nearly identical spec! US-spec, 2009, Slate Blue, 6-speed manual sedan G37S. Mine is missing the 4WS and mine has a black interior. Perhaps I should take mine to a track instead of the Miata sometime.
I hate how people use these cars now days, I still own one, best car I’ve ever owned. Plenty of better things out there but for the price the are pretty nice
This car is amazing between relax and sport
Please keep your G’s! You’re gonna regret giving it away! Beautiful car that comes with great power! Just a few bolt ons on these car, wake it up! Plus these cars are gonna be valuable and be a classic JDM car ❤
Finally someone driving one of these how they are supposed to be driven. Love seeing that VQ wind all the way out
I've had 07" g35s, 12" g37, 13" m37, 11" m37s. It's a very fun car
Miniature cars? 12"?
@@esaedvik sorry for the confusion. I meant the years they were manufactured
Did you like your M37s?
Get a m56
A woman who enjoys technic in which you can see in her eyes! Lovely smile
Infiniti vehicles are solid performers. Owned many with no issues at all
Nice to see one being properly driven. These are freeway missiles here in LA.
I feel like she wanted to say things but had a language barrier, I’m from Spain also and not many people here speak English at all. But she enjoyed it, was smiling all the lap, and was a good sport. Nice car, it performs exceptionally well. Cheers.
Yes, my English is far from perfect, and I was a little bit nervous.
I love his 300zx shirt!
Great to see one of these in mint condition, so many are trashed.
It's like a live action version of Gran Turismo. This has been fun to watch, being able to take a lap around the 'ring is on my bucket list.
What a women.. just watching her inner child smile is so beautiful.
My gf: OMG babe slow down!
This woman: 🤩🤩🤩
Love it she's nothing but big smiles the whole lap 😅
Its crazy how well this car performs despite being completely and utterly stock and daily driven by a german woman lol. Imagine if it actually had some performance pads, actually sticky tires that arent all seasons, stiffer suspension, and maybe some bolt ons. I wanna see him hawking these people down in a G37 lol.
It looked like it was a nice drive these old fm platform cars were and still are amazing for the time. My mother had the larger M35x and it was a very nice car comfortable and good on a backroad. She still talk about that car almost 20 years later. The quality was phenomenal, now it’s cheap even on an $80k car.
