Trim / Codes
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.

2005The 2005 G35 Coupe uses a 3.5L VQ35DE V6 with rear-wheel drive, offered with either a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. Typical maintenance focuses on the timing chain system, water pump, thermostat, ignition coils, and spark plugs, with the VQ35DE also known for oil consumption and oil gallery gasket wear. Manual examples require clutch and flywheel inspection, while all versions benefit from regular differential and transmission fluid changes, brake service, and suspension bushing checks.

2003The 2003 Nissan G35 Coupe is rear-wheel drive and powered by a 3.5-liter VQ35DE V6, paired with either a 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission depending on trim. Typical maintenance focuses on the timing chain system, ignition coil packs, and cam and crank position sensors, with some engines known for elevated oil consumption. Regular service also includes transmission and differential fluid changes, brake component wear, and suspension bushing inspection.

2004The 2004 G35 Coupe is powered by a 3.5-liter VQ35DE V6 rated at 260 horsepower, paired with rear-wheel drive and either a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission. Trim levels were base and Journey, with the Journey adding features such as leather seating and a Bose audio system. Typical maintenance focus includes the timing chain tensioners, valve cover gaskets, ignition coils, and oil consumption, which the VQ35DE is known for. Cooling system components like the radiator and thermostat housing, along with transmission and differential fluid services, are also common service items.
