I have the old design of G35 coupe year 2007. The service last time, I got a loaner of new design G35/G37 sedan. I gave it a try, it seems like more power/torque to me. Or probably since it's not my car, I gave too much gas that I don't normally do that to my car. Or it seems like more responsive?
I checked the factory spec numbers, the new design of sedan should have around the same number of torque as the old design of coupe(newer years). Any one have same experience and know the reason?

Thanks.

 

it may have a different rear end with higher gear ratio, which would put the torque down faster.
IDK though b/c i havent done research on it

 

yes, the 2nd gen G's are more powerful and have better gearing.

 

They are quite a bit quicker, faster and more responsive than the first gen Coupes and Sedans.

 

G37 feels much quicker than the G35...

 

Are am I only the one who thought it hard to be reading OP post?

 

Its hard to read anyone's posts on here anymore.

 

It's more on paper, plus the new car is based off of the new ratings. I don't think Infiniti used the new system for rating power on the 1st gens, but i could be wrong.

 

For my understanding, once the VQ35HR motor came out Nissan used the new and more strict SAE guidelines to determine hp/tq. IIRC, it's estimated that if these standards were used on the DE engine the actual crank HP would be 15-20 less.

I wish the G35 coupe would have gotten the HR motor like the Z did.. That would have been KILLER!

 

Don't the 06+ Gs have HR motors?

 

Nope.

 

I always get a G37 sedan when I go in for service, and have always noticed the same thing. I just feels a lot faster than my G35.

 

It's tough to tell, but I think the OP is comparing his '07 G35 coupe to the new G37 motor...

 

Yeah maybe, same concept applies though. Old SAE vs New SAE guidelines.
