Years

The Nissan G35, sold in North America as the Infiniti G35 and in Japan as the Nissan Skyline V35, was produced from 2002 to 2007 as a single generation (V35) with a mid-cycle facelift for the 2007 model year. It served as the entry-level sports sedan and coupe in Infiniti's lineup, positioned below the Q45 flagship. Built on Nissan's FM platform shared with the 350Z, it featured rear-wheel drive and the VQ35DE V6 engine, with output rising from 260 to 306 horsepower over its run. Typical strengths included balanced handling, an available six-speed manual transmission, and strong engine response.

  Coupe

  The Nissan G35 Coupe was produced from 2003 to 2007, receiving a revised front fascia and interior updates for 2005 before being discontinued and later replaced by the G37 Coupe. It was powered by the 3.5-liter VQ35DE V6 paired with either a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. Common service considerations include timing chain tensioner wear, oil consumption, catalytic converter failures, and automatic transmission issues at higher mileage. Suspension components, window regulators, and ignition coils are also frequent wear items on higher-mileage examples.

  Sedan

  The Nissan G35 sedan was sold from 2003 to 2006, with a 2005 update raising VQ35DE output from 260 to 280 horsepower and revising the exterior styling and interior trim. Common service items include oil consumption in the VQ35DE engine, timing chain tensioner rattle, ignition coil failures, and catalytic converter efficiency codes. The early five-speed automatic transmission has been known for failures, so fluid condition and shift behavior are worth checking. Routine maintenance also covers power steering leaks, suspension wear items, and brake components.
