So for the last month i've looking into buying a 03-05 G35. I found a 05 6MT that has 100.200Miles on it. The cars exterior and interior looks in pretty good shape from the pics.. Today im going to check it out at the dealer.. I been researching on how to find out if it has a OC problem.. How can i tell if it has a OC other than oil leaking at the bottom.. And testing the car at a infiniti dealer? What other things should i look at? It just reach 100k miles so woukd there anything that needs to be change? Any any maintence. I just want to buy the car and pay for it the loan the fastest i can and then start modding it or doing the maintenances. =] thanks in advance !!

 

valve cover gasket leaking into cylinder #6 especially, cv boots cracked, thats the main 2. i have heard over 80% of the new owners have the problem

 

Ok thanks ill make sure to look under the valve cover. Definetely dont want to get a OC problems. The carfax is clean, only has one recall about a airbag sensor that was fixed..

 

There is no real way to tell if the '05 you're looking at has OC issues which is caused by poor quality piston rings. Sure there are other ways to lose oil like the valve covers but that won't require getting a new motor. Maybe looking at a coupe with far less miles would be a better idea than one with 100K miles on her clock. Often it's better to pay a little more now than a lot later....Gary

 

I have been searching for a while and there are not that many 6MT on sell around. I saw one with 95k miles but the engine was swap due OC so the engine only had 33K on it for $12.5k.. And the one im looking with 100k miles for $ 10k
