You know, the plastidipped wheels, debadged trunks, and GTR body kitted monsters that flood your local Craigslist. The supply goes down every year as G35 coupes get wrapped around trees, modded into oblivion, and given as high school graduation gifts.
At the same time, car enthusiasts who lusted after G35 coupes in high school can finally afford to own one. This trend may start to raise the price of G35 coupes. The G35 transcends the Infiniti brand. Although this engine lacked the smooth refined power delivery of its German rivals, this strong engine could handle far more abuse and produced respectable levels of power. When it debuted in the VQ35DE produced horsepower and lb-ft of torque in G35 Coupes equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission.
Engines mated the manual transmission produced more power than their automatic cousins thanks to variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust. This chassis pushed the engine as far back as possible. Although the G35 was clearly a better cruiser, the rigid chassis and proper weight distribution gave it athletic handling characteristics.
The G35 was never built to be driven at the limit, with a curb weight of 3,lbs, it really shines when driven with a slight aggression. Since the engine is pushed so far back the G35 has the perfect coupe proportions. Much like the Nissan Z, the G35 has a reserved design that will surely age well. As we see the death of more and more new coupe models, luxury coupes like the G35 become harder to find. Unlike the exterior, the interior has not aged gracefully.
All of the displays that looked good in the early s are laughable. Also the leather used in the interiors is know to crack especially on the side bolsters. Thankfully the G35 is still a usable car and shouldn't be defined by its aging interior. Passive electronic safety features like blindspot are nonexistent, hydraulic power steering, traction control that actually turns off comes standard.
The Infiniti G35 Coupe is desirable on a number of levels. The longer wheelbase of the G35 is both a strength and weakness when it comes to drifting. It allows for an extremely stable drift and steady control, but it also slows down rotation and prevents snappy transitions which you often get from shorter-wheelbase cars. Invidia G35 Test Pipes Feature-wise they lack some of the cool additions of the competition, but they are clearly a solid product. Perhaps a little strong with the price point.
Unfortunately, the new generation Skyline V35 debuted in June is not a real Skyline. Infiniti G35 — its alternative name — is perhaps more appropriate to reflect its nature. Basically that is equivalent to the top-of-the-range Skyline sold in Japan. The advantage of a BMW-style Skyline is that it appeals to more customers and can be sold in overseas for the first time in its 45 years history. So obviously parts are going to be more expensive. There is no such thing as a luxery car that is cheap to maintain.
Well firstly, it's Infiniti not Infinity. Yes it is an expensive car to maintain and not something you should buy on a budget. It's also extremely rewarding to own and drive though.
I would think It's actually not that expensive to maintain. The G35 shares many parts with the Maxima and other Nissans, and a lot of the service can be done at a Nissan dealership. I don't own a G35, but I own an Acura TL same class of car as the G and the parts and labour costs have been no more expensive than when I had a Chrysler.
Also a is not that old, it's not like you're buying a 10 year old car and will need to replace a million different things. With these higher end cars the insurance is higher too.
