I have a 2004 G35 sedan with 128000 miles on it, i recently bought the car and have been having problems with it. I changed the thermostat because the car kept overheating, got an oil change and flushed the coolant system, now the car is emitting white smoke from the exhaust while idling and overheats quickly. I had the radiator checked out and it seems there are no leaks there as it held all pressure. The oil on the dipstick isn't "chocolate milk " like but I'm still hoping its not a head gasket problem please help
Could be air bubbles in the cooling system ,defective or weak water pump, do a compression test
Do a search for the FSM and follow the troubleshooting steps for overheating
Did you ever have the vehicle checked out prior to purchase?
Good luck
