      ^^ I'm curious about the drive train issues you've seen, E36M#215.  We own 2 Nissans, a 2005 FX35 and a 2008 EX35.  The FX has 110k miles on it and we've owned it since it had 35k with zero issues.

        I've read the g35 has a very weak chassis.....whatever they changed between it and the 350z was bad.....however they have MUCH nicer door handles.

          Code P0011 is a common issue and is fixed temporarily with a vvt selonid or cam position sensor but always ends up coming back being the front timing cover gasket breaks apart over time and falls in to the oil pan, gasket material then gets sucked up to the heads blocking the passages to the vvt if you have owned the car since 35,000 it more than likely has already been fixed

          timing chains stretch

          Weak blocks if oil changes weren't done on time they will throw rods

          Head gaskets go

          Front diffs blow up on awd, almost always pinon bearings let loose

          Rear main seals leak like a GM truck

          Radiator leaks in to trans fluid ( automatic only) more radiator issue but does happen

          "Swirl screw" drops in to the combustion camber

          You have to remember the VQ35 is a motor used in tons of nissan cars so some of these issues are more prone to other models such as a maxima or 3.5 Altima or a murano or quest.

          Its still a VQ35 engine if its an issue it will happen unless addressed

              The GTO I drove was badass, and they aren't all that bad looking either.
