New user to this site, long story short My mom has given me the guys to her 2003 g35 sedan 4 cylinder, she as about 220k miles on her. She still runs fine and as far as my mom knew she had a majority of her parts replaced already by the dealership she was bought used at around 150k back when i was in high school and the only things i've had to mess with are the tires, break pads, and radiator hose . I just wanna know if it would would be worth it to put money into her cause i already have a few ideas but i'm incredibly afraid of something un repairable happening at this point

 

Given you the guys to the car?

Am I in the right bathroom?

 

No such thing as a 4 cyl. G35. The 35 refers to the 3.5 liter 6 cylinder VQDE motor. With 220K miles any extra money thrown into performance/appearance mods is risky as you don't know how much life she has left in her.

 

Look at the dealership inspection sheet so you can understand what are worn parts that needed replacing. At 220k, I would be thinking twice about doing mods especially if it is automatic why bother?

If you really have the itch to mod, do an engine compression test on those 6 cylinders. You want to know if the engine is healthy and that should give you an idea how long will it last you. GL

 

Did you break the brake pads?

Did you graduate?
Did you ever pass English?

So good to hear from a real car guy that knows all about what he drives! With that kind of mileage trade it in, it might cover the taxes on your next purchase.

There is a 4 cylinder G/V35 but it's no longer called G35 but 250GT. It's a 2.5L. So in North America it would be called G25. Basically your car is a Skyline 250GTm with an Infiniti badge.

 

You're correct that a Nissan 250GT is 2.5 liters, but it's still a V6

 

lol^

 

Yeah, Just checked it's a VQ25 lol

 

Who TF (and why) makes a 2.5L v6?

 

IIRC Mazda made a 2L or so V6 a decade or two ago, it's apparently a good engine (I've done very little research).

A 2.5 V6 sounds interesting; with that little reciprocating mass compared to a 3.5, you could probably get that sucker to rev pretty high, assuming the internals are up to par.They probably aren't, but one can dream.

 

You guys are harsh lol!

F1 used a 2.4L V8 between 06-13. Currently on a 1.6L V6

 

After publishing my comment I looked up the vq25 and found that there is also a vq20. A 2.0 litre v6. It's only available in Japan (in one car I think), which is fine, but it just makes me wonder if there is an advantage somehow (maybe a little more natural torque...?), or if it's just a way to save money by using the same part designs for many engines.

 

I'm more partial to the 1L 3 cylinder... now there was a heck of a motor lol.
