What to do with HIGH millage G35's
Hi, I am very close to buying a G35 with high millage but I wanted to ask if 129k is too much for a 03 G35, the price is right to me but is it even worth it? I was planning on building out the motor so I guess I was wondering if I could do enough building out to make it take some simple mods like chip, headers...

You didn't mention if it was a coupe or sedan, 5AT or 6MT, or options...
So just ballpark on www.kbb.com the retail of an '03 Coupe @ 129,000 miles, some options, in "GOOD" condition is 11-12k.

How high do you want to turn it?
If you do plan on putting turbos on this motor, I would rebuild the block at the same time. I wouldn't FI a block with 129,000 miles on it.

Granted, the engine will last, but what about the other components? 129k in five years is a lot of milage. There's a reason why manufacturers have a milage/date limit on warranty. If it's being driven well beyond the recommended miles per year, you have to assume there is more wear and tear on the vehicle than the manufacturer feels comfortable with.
It's not so much total milage, but the amount of miles in the given amount of time. Cop cars and taxi cabs don't last too long. Just my 2 cents.
