Aftermarket valve covers???
Hello I’ve just bought a set of aftermarket valve covers from amazon.I paid $70 for the set and I bought felpro gaskets to replace the shitty amazon ones.Would I have problems for not buying oem?? Nissan was charging $700 for the set and I don’t have the funds like that.Is anyone running aftermarket VC with no problems?

The only problems I've seen is people ordering ones that were for Altima/Maxima's accidentally instead of the correct ones for the G35. Never heard of fitment problems or anything. I do know of a lot of issues with people not installing them properly though which always leads to leaks.
Read the FSM, use the Permatex RTV where it says, unbolt the EVAP stuff on the passenger side to give more room. Give the proper cure time on the RTV, torque in the proper order to the proper torque.
Not doing those things will guarantee problems. Using cheap valve covers from Rockauto will not.
