Also ask PO what flywheel is in the car, if he reused the 142k OEM dual mass flywheel that's a bad idea even if it "looked good". I chanced it when buying my 100k car with a new clutch and a year later my flywheel is making noise after months of intermittent vibrations and replacing parts trying to find it.
They don't hold up to hard driving very well especially at this age, when they go out the car will vibrate like crazy at best and explode at worst, in either case taking the clutch with it.

Bought the car 🙌 got the car inspected at Nissan and they told me it everything is good they told me it was clean for being a Midwest car no rust or anything and the oil consumption wasn’t bad at all.They even let me go in and look and inspect the car myself.The Nissan mechanics told me to go ahead with the deal and I did.

I was going to say that it sounds like the guy is being honest. He could have said nothing at all about the oil consumption. It shows that he is aware and probably keeps a good eye on the oil level. Nothing shady about the deal imo

Both of my G35's (04' and 05') lost quite a bit of oil when I bought them. I changed the valve cover gaskets on both and it halved my oil loss between changes. The gaskets were rock hard and weren't sealing very good after many years of heat cycling. Every once in awhile I would get a faint smell of oil burning and that went away with the gasket change.
Edit: Congrats on the new G35 (to you) !! It's always exciting to pick up a nice used car for $3,000 that was originally $32,000

NEED HELP! Is it normal for the car to make a hissing noise when starting up in a severe cold temp.Its currently below 0 where I’m at and I got worried when my new car started up like this this morning.

Pop the hood and find where the sound is coming from. Could be a vacuum leak. Could just be the intake sucking in air. It's hard to say with that video. I hear a hissing noise but I hear the engine more. Any warning lights on the dash lit up?

Pop the hood and start looking around with a light.

Yeah it's impossible to tell what the sound even was with the hood closed. Take another video with it outside the garage with the hood open. Really good chance it's just a minor vacuum leak, there's one hose from the passenger valve cover up to the intake manifold, one from the air duct down to the driver valve cover and a bypass hose at the front of the motor between the two valve covers. Personally I wouldn't even bother removing them if they look like OEM rubber, just order a silicone PCV hose kit and replace all 3.

Maybe an idler or tensioner pulley bearing took a crap. Did you inspect the hoses and make sure there are no leaks?
