Infiniti G35 Coupe Resources

It has been two weeks since I have had the G35 Coupe but I have not even begun fixing its issues and performing basic maintenance. However, I have driven it about a 100 miles locally and it is a blast to drive. Last weekend, I went to a local autocross with my Miata, so could not spend time on the G35. However, I have taken Friday off this week to try fixing some issues.

But first, I needed to do research on the maintenance needed and am documenting it for myself here.

2005 COUPE SPECIFICATIONS

I found a very detailed online document for the 2005 G35 Coupe specifications which contains every detail you may need to know about the car. I have mirrored it here.. You can get information on gear ratios, axles, differentials etc. from this document.

FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL

The first thing I needed was a factory service manual so I could understand the car. The car did not come with an owner’s manual, which I purchased used for $22 on eBay. I considered the Haynes book for the G35 Coupe as I had purchased one for the Miata, but the reviews on Amazon for the version of the book for the G35 were not good. So I decided to not buy it, and instead looked online. Fortunately Nicoclub.com provides all the service manuals for several Nissan and Infiniti models for free.

I downloaded all the ones specific to my 2005 G35 Coupe and am hosting it on this site for reference. Below are the links to each section:

ACTIVE FORUMS

There are some forums that I am actively researching on:

• Nicoclub.com’s G35 section
• g35driver.com
• my350z.com for 350Z specific info which may come in handy for the G35 coupe, specifically for the engine.
• Reddit’s G35 subreddit
• 6mt.net

Some of these forums have many build threads for making your car ready for the track or drifting.

BLOGS & OTHER SITES

The G35 and 350Z are mechanically similar, and physically close to each other. So a lot of 350Z tips work for the G35 too.
