- Infinity is Nissan's luxury division,
or tattoos given to basic (beep).
They started selling vehicles in 1989 which was the same
year Daniel Radcliffe was born.
That's magic.
Infinity is known for not that much,
but they have random letters paired with random numbers
that make me feel like I'm playing BINGO and not really
lookin' at cars.
Bringo!
However, they did manage to make a car that wasn't an SUV
and caught the attention of the car community.
The Infinity G35 is a confusion car--
(screeching)
between making trombone noises and being a skyline in Japan.
I'm not really sure what to make out of it.
The G35 came into the car scene in 2003
and left shortly after in 2008 to be replaced by the G37.
Bringo!
They have an original manufacture suggested retail price
of around 32 frickin thousand dollars.
You could get 32,000 nacho crunch double stack tacos
for that.
Known for oil consumption and marching band noises,
this car has high expectations.
Today we sit down with an owner and have a good ol' chat.
Driver to driver.
(jazz music)
So don't forget, wheels, tires, suspension at
www.fitmentindustries.com, you know the plug.
Today we're here with Jared.
- How's it goin'?
- You kind of look like a a hype boy Ron Weasley.
(laughs)
You know what I'm sayin'?
You know what I mean?
Kind of, a little bit, you got longer hair.
All right.
So let's not beat around the bush, how much did you pay
for that four-door trombone?
(screech, ding)
- Two-door.
- Well yeah, some of them are four-door.
- True, 10 k.
(zooming sound)
- Okay, so you go the coup, it was 10 k.
How many miles are on that bad boy?
- 70.
- Thousand.
- Miles.
- That's a pretty good price actually.
I feel like that's not that bad, those depreciated a lot.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause they're like $32,000 MSRP.
Why'd they lose their value so much?
- You read the brochure?
- I did read the brochure.
(laughs)
- I have a big brain, I do math.
I do math.
- I mean if you look at the cars that have come out
since then and everything, especially like, so
everyone always says the G35 was the GTR replacement
because they stopped making it
and this is the car to go with instead.
It's like okay sure, whatever.
But it's not.
But the R35 came out, right?
- Yep.
- They came out with the 370Zs--
- Yep.
- Just technology got newer and better and stuff like that
and it kind of just fell down as far as relevancy went,
but it made it more affordable for car enthusiasts
to take in and put a (beep) ton of money into it.
- I was gonna say, 10 k ain't that bad
to be honest with you.
- No, for what you get out of it, I mean I like it, yeah.
- Why'd you go with the G35 and not the 350Z or somethin'
turbo-charged or maybe a V8?
- Something fast?
- I feel like when you get a six cylinder it's like
when you get a happy meal but you don't get the toy.
Like you're still gonna eat and you get food,
but it's just not as fun.
- I like the way that they looked, I liked the 350Zs too,
but I liked having a back seat just because I have
camera equipment and (beep) like that,
I can put it somewhere.
- If you liked having a back seat
why didn't you get a sedan?
- I didn't want a sedan, it's too big.
- You're a picky dude.
- But I got exactly what I wanted, so I'm fine.
- Okay, I mean so you do like the 350Zs?
- Some parts of them.
- What do you dislike about 350Zs?
- The dash cluster.
- Oh?
- Yep, it's really specific!
- I mean I've heard the G35s have
a little bit nicer interior.
- They do have a nicer interior, I like the tail lights
on the G35 way better, but I feel like the front ends
on the 350Z's better.
- Oh.
- I've always considered putting a 350Z front end on a G35.
Boom.
- You're more of a butt guy.
- Yes.
(beep)
- So how is the B35 community?
- Is this an Audi now?
- The G35 community, I was just a little under.
- Community's a little out there I guess.
There's the stereotype that G35 owners are douche bags
because 350Z owners go to the track, they use their cars
and they got the Infinity just a douche bag poser guy.
(laughs)
- I mean we all have that sometimes.
Do you agree with it?
- I mean after some of the YouTube videos I watched
before I bought mine, yeah.
I mean some of them are kind of out there.
- Okay, do you use your car, do you drift it?
- No.
- Well, all right, I mean that's all right.
Enough out of me, let's hear from our extremely cool
and loyal YouTube community.
(jazz music)
- You ready for this?
- No.
- All right, Fengxii seems a little nervous
and wants to know, how reliable as daily?
- If you don't point three-piece wheels on it
and run air ride, they're super reliable actually.
- Yeah, okay. All right.
So you made yours unreliable, got it.
(beep)
- Jp ram asks, when you bought the car did you know
you should've bought a 350Z or did you find out later?
- I've never found out apparently.
- Oh, that's sad.
- I don't think I needed one.
- Are you sure?
- Pretty sure.
- Jp ram wants you to get a 350Z.
- Sorry jp.
- Oh okay.
(static)
(heavy beat music)
- Don't forget to check out www.fitmentindustries.com.
(beep)
- Kevin mani wants to know, when you see a G37
do you think... damn?
- No, I could've bought one for almost the same price
as what I bought mine for and I went with the G35.
- Why's that?
- Just like the looks better.
- Really? Wow.
What do you know?
You got weird taste. All right.
Spider puncher is in the same boat as you and he says,
I have an '05 coup, what fitment specs are you running?
- 19 by 11, zeros in the front,
19, 12 and a half, negative five in the rear.
- That's some big boys, holy!
- Yep.
(metal clang)
- Concept one.
- There we go.
All right.
(beep)
Logan Rogers is gettin' a little bit personal,
he says, on a scale of one to 10, how cute are you?
- 12.
(ding)
- You think you're cute?
(laughs)
You think Ronald Weasley's cute?
(ding)
- No, this got weird.
- 'Cause you kinda look like Ron Weasley,
but if you don't think he's cute, then I don't see how
you can rate yourself a 12, that's (beep) bold move.
That's a little bit cocky.
(static)
Owen no is pissed and he wants to know, why is there so much
hate in the G35?
Goddamn.
(beep)
Why do they hate so much?
- They hate us 'cause they ain't us.
(laughs)
- They hate us 'cause they anus?
- Butt guy.
- Gotcha.
(static)
- What issues have you had with your P35?
- I've debeaded multiple times, that's probably
the biggest issue I've had with it.
One of 'em was actually in the parking lot in registration
for tuner eval.
- What were you doin', were you driftin'?
- No.
- What were you doin'?
- Nothing, driving.
- And it just debeaded?
- Yep.
- Sounds like you need some bigger tires.
- Yep.
- But you can't fit 'em?
- Right, 'cause I'm too wide with my wheels.
- You should use the gallery over at
www.fitmentindustries.com.
- A little birdie told me your car dies a lot
because of the bad wiring.
- Oh.
(chiming sound)
Yep, it does that occasionally.
- So you want to expand on that a little bit?
- Air ride may or may not be wired always on,
and not on an ignition fuse,
so sometimes it will just turn on once in a while.
- Your air ride will just turn on?
- Air ride will just turn on, yeah.
- And then it kills the car?
- Well yeah because it will just sit and run
because it wants to and then I go to start it and--
- Why don't you rewire it, brother, what are you doin'?
- I'll get there eventually.
- Okay, all right, you're workin' on it.
I also heard that somethin's up with your temperature.
- Wow, you're good.
Yeah, I also put a Double Din touch screen radio in, and--
- Oh nice.
- Yeah, and it's nice but the AC dual climate control
that the nicer luxury interiors that
the Infinity has don't work.
- Why don't they work?
- Beats me.
- So it's just like--
- So it's replacement buttons for the AC unit,
and it's all plugged in, but you can't actually adjust
anything so it's at 74 degrees always.
- At least that's a decent temperature,
at least it's not stuck at 90, that really (beep) sucks.
- Yeah so probably buy a new one this year.
- Oh, okay, all right.
What mods do you have done to it?
- Oh boy, aftermarket hood and trunk, both carbon fiber,
aftermarket front bumper,
air ride obviously through piece wheels,
tires that aren't big enough.
Full interior swap, I wanted all blank interiors.
I bought a second G35, took that whole interior out
'cause I had a tan and gray interior,
and swapped 'em so now it's got an all black interior.
- Hold on, didn't you drive pretty far to get this car?
- Tennessee.
- If you drove all that far why didn't you just get
one that you liked?
- Well, I did, but black on black was extremely rare--
- How rare are these cars you gotta go
all the way to Tennessee to get one you don't like?
- Well I just wanted one that was clean and low miles
and Tennessee had it.
- You had to buy a whole nother, how much was that car?
Was it a shell?
- No, it was a running car.
I traded a set of AG wheels for it.
(laughs)
- You traded wheels--
- AG monoblocks.
- They really depreciated (beep).
You can trade wheels for these cars?
Oh my, so you traded just for the interior?
- I traded for the whole car, got the interior,
then sold the car for 800 bucks.
- 800 bucks? What was wrong with it?
It just depreciated that much?
- No, the kid before me drifted it and it went off,
and it was either some rim was bent or tire rod,
or something was bent in the whole rear driver's side,
it was like this when it should have been like this.
- Oh but the interior was.
- Interior, yep.
- How much money do you have in this thing?
- So in parts probably close to 20.
- 20 what, 20 bucks?
- Thousand dollars.
(saxophone playing)
- Probably 18, yeah.
- 18 to 20, how much power are you makin'?
- Motor stock.
(laughs)
- You spent 20 grand and you got debeaded tires
to show for it and the AC unit doesn't work.
- Yeah but it looks cool on the 'gram.
- Does it burn oil?
- Not really, I mean a little.
- Does it leak a little, because I mean I've seen
it leak a little.
- It might leak a little.
- It leaks a little, all right, so you spent 20 grand
you got clap car, no oil, no AC, no heat.
- It looks good on the 'gram though.
- Looks good, well when the tires are on it I suppose.
Do you drive it?
I'd be scared to drive it anywhere.
- I try to drive it--
- You ruined this car!
What'd you do that for?
It seemed like it was a good deal.
- Damn.
- You spent 20 grand to destroy it.
- You got me rethink' my whole life.
- I know, all right, I guess, do you have any advice
for someone looking for one of these T35s, G35s, yep.
That's what I said.
- Buy one, do it.
They're awesome, I don't know.
They're not that unreliable if you look up online
and everyone's like, go with an uprev, go with an hr,
go with a reliable motor, but I haven't really had
any motor issues with mine.
- How many miles are on it now?
- 94,000.
- Okay so a little bit.
You haven't put too many on it though.
- No, I've had it, it will be three years
in about a month so.
- So you put like 20,000 miles on it?
- Yep.
- And spent $20,000.
- See, it's just math.
- That's a lot of math.
- Dollar a mile.
- Are you a wizard?
