expensive aftermarket. dunno much about the G's but the 350's are very reliable. at least in my experience.

2006.

The G35 isnt very roomy, even the sedan kind of sucks. I was uncomfortable driving it and Im sort of a big dude... they do sound cool though. But, like Mook said, I dont like the sound of a rebuilt title.

I did some research on these recently and it looked like the 05+ RWD models had some notable changes like larger brakes that solve reoccurring brake problems with the 03-04. There are other changes and when I was looking at them, I decided to look at the 05 and newer ones.

G35Driver.com is a massive resource for these cars. I believe many of the 350Z suspension parts and wheels are interchangeable with these as well.

06 with 104K

The G35 books for higher then the honda but with the rebuilt title it will be worth a few thousand less. Id say probably 8-9K. Some rebuilt title cars are hacked up pieces of shit, some are nice and get a rebuilt title for small BS.

See if you can find out what it was rebuilt for. My buddy has a G35 with a rebuilt title. It has a rebuilt title because previous owner hit a guard rail and messed up the fender. Something had to be spot welded or something minor.

There are plenty of them out there, you can find a clean one without a rebuild title. If you want the 6MT stick to the 03-04 models. Alot of the 05-07 6MTs have severe oil consumption issues, which sucks because the 05+ had a model refresh that is better imo. Bigger brakes but no Brembo option, updated interior and 19" wheels.

I drive an 05 sedan and it has been very reliable since I've owned it at 19K, have 73K now. Wish I got alittle better gas mileage, but its ok. G35driver.com is a great resource like Bru said.

aftermarket is very good, but pricey as mentioned. Alot of suspension and engine mods, but dont expect to get a ton of additional power out of a N/A VQ35. We share platforms with the 350Z so suspension is interchangable and majority of mods for the 350Z will work on the G.

just a heads up that engine has some oil consumption issues

Was only TSB'd for the revup motors which would be 05-07 with the 6mt.

Its hit or miss on the "rev-up" engines. Some dont burn a drop and some burn through a QT every 1000 miles. IMO its not worth the trouble dealing with the dealer for a new engine, especially Infiniti that wants maintenance records for everything or you lose. And if you are lucky enough to get a new engine, some people are reporting oil consumption on the replacement engines too.

My buddy loves his x but hated is non x in the snow. As said before they aren't overly spacious.
