Ah...no that is not right. If it was the same engine it would put out the exact same hp/tq. Doesn't matter to me...I own a 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe purchased in the USA. Sorry but a Lexus is to a Toyota as an Infiniti is to a Nissan. I know these concepts can be hard for some to understand with all the different names, eh Jibbers. Unfortunately, looks like you won't be owning a Toyota..er Lexus IS 350 for a long time since your not selling your G. Sorry Kindaofast08 didn't mean to hijack your thread! Enjoy your car I enjoy mine!

Well in that case I suggest you tell all the Lexus drivers that their driving Toyotas and while your at it tell all the Acura owners that their driving Honda's. Also, the cheapest Porsche would be a Boxter and nicely equiped that would cost you $67,000. There is a market for entry level luxury/sport coupes/sedans between Nissans and Porsches. As Kindaofast08 said it's top end to him and lots of others. Since your such a conniosseur of fine cars why are you driving a 2003 Nissan. Jibbers looks like you found a homie and by the way the engine in the 2011 Altima 3.5 SR is a VQ35DE but it puts out 270 hp while the first 2003 auto G35 put out 280. Not the same engine. The base price of the 2011 Altima 3.5 SR is $24,740. That's less than you think you can sell your soon to be 5 yr old Nissan.
No as stated before the Altima Coupe is FF and the G is FR platform and as of right now you can't buy the Nissan Altima Coupe in Japan, they don't offer it, it was made to fill the low end coupe segment to compete against cars like the accord coupe since the g37 has become a more refined car.

And the G coupe and G sedan makes DIFFERENT HP yet is has the same motor. Not sure what you are talking about or trying to say.
The VQ35DE is used on several cars.
1) Nissan Altima
2) Nissan Quest
3) G35
4) 350z
5) Altima, etc etc.
Same motor.. Same bore and stroke.

I would like to apologize to the forum for wasting the forums time with the meaningless posts above. Except my last one which I consider priceless it's right off the Lexus Club forum. I keep telling myself that I won't respond to such ridiculous, constant critical posts. But, there are times I just can't resist. As an original 2002 purchased G35 coupe owner I feel I have a pretty good understanding of the G's strong and weak points. I believe the G is a great car to drive and for their current selling prices available to alot of people who can now own one and appreciate them and from the number of people on this forum who have put thousand of $$$ in modding their G's to make them unique I'm not alone.
WTH does a Lexus owner putting on G wheels have to do with the G and the Altima, and Maxima sharing the same motor. LOL Dude is all over the place. What's next? You're going to talk about how the BMW is Made in Germany and that where Hitler is from?
KindofFast, what's your deal? I gave you a good reply in the very first page. Check your heatshield bolts. They maybe loose.
I too have acceleration rattles. But the sound is coming from the dash area.
And I am not talking "bad" about the G. It does have a Maxima motor. LOL

I have the acceleration rattles too. It happens every time I accelerate. Sounds like it's coming from the dash area. I'll have it looked at, at my next oil change. Oh yeah, the other response I get is, "turn the music up". LOL Yeah, that solves it...
Here is another helpful comment.
Car is burning oil. Forget replacing the motor, just add oil.
Car has abnormal tire wear, forget getting an alignment or replacing the worn parts, just get new tires.
Car gets horrible gas mileage. Who cares, we drive a very fast sports car. It has 1000hp and goes 0-60 in 3 seconds.
Window motor don't work. Who cares, open the sunroof.
Sunroof glass flew out. Who cares, replace it with saran wrap.
Seat rail cracked and seat is now rocking. Who cares. Apply JB weld and call it a day.
Just got a G35, what should I do? Get clear corners and drop it!
