Considering an early G35 coupe 2003-2004

[rich2342]

Hey fellas,

Im looking into purchasing a 2003-2004 G35 coupe as a second car. I am avoiding the 05/06's due to the oil consumption issue. Are there any known issues with 03/04's or was it only the Revvup? Anything else i should consider before purchasing? Are g's with higher mileage still reliable?

[joe603]

I would avoid the 03-04's...the oil issue isn't as wide spread as you think. I have an 05 and it's the best car I've ever had on oil!

Buy the newest car you can afford.

The 03-04 have issues with the stereo, AC control board, brakes. The REVUP is on the 05+ 6MT.

Check out the G-series FAQ (link in my sig) for more info.

Perhaps you are one of the lucky ones. Its pretty widespread from my research. What are the 03 04 issues?

Im all set with either...

How common are the electirical issues? the consumption is quite common in many other vq models as well. I've fought w/nissan too many times over warranty items. Im looking for a low mileage second car without problems.

[johnparkyourcar]

Dang Joe you're starting to scare me cuz I own a 03 coupe... I haven't experienced any of those except for the fuel gauge not reading properly and not letting me fill up all the way, door lock, cd player jammed... The good thing about the 03-04 is that they're super cheap now. get one of those and use the money you saved for mods!

[rich2342]

Those are some scary notices alright w/fuel lines...

I've never heard of those issues

[SVTCOBRA]

Have an 04 Coupe and love it!!!Main reason I don't have an 05-07 is cause the seat in the 04 Coupe felt better to my hamstrings!!!

I thought the oil issue was with the 6MT's only....Are you getting an auto or manual??

[av8or]

Dang Joe you're starting to scare me cuz I own a 03 coupe... I haven't experienced any of those except for the fuel gauge not reading properly and not letting me fill up all the way, door lock, cd player jammed...

i fixed all of these issues myself.. well except for the radio which i had to buy from another g owner who upgraded to a double din but i installed the radio ( mind you, i have nav )... that and having my transmission replaced on warranty, anyway, it's been a year now and my g has not been a problem ( knock on wood )... wish i could help you guys in socal on working on fixing the gas gauge problem, window motor and the hid convertion on your fog lamps on your g's.. maybe if we have a socal meet i'll try to come and give advice... mind you, these repairs are very easy..

[av8or]

next time i'll be sure to take photos while working on the car... for the most part all the pics iv'e posted were "after" results... maybe if your'e ever near escondido, shoot me a pm and we'll see what we can do.. and to the "op" just get what you want... either way, you won't go wrong with owning a g

[awdjdmtalon]

I have an 04 6MT. I love it. The only issue i have had was the rearview mirror has a chirp sound in it every now and then. But I found that all I have to do is tighten the screw holding it to the windsheild. Oh and my clutch went out at 23000 miles. But I am hard on it.

Hey fellas,

I am avoiding the 05/06's due to the oil consumption issue.

Ok, 2 things, #1 about the "Hey fellas," there are girls on here

#2 i have an '07 6MT with 5K miles (bought brand new in '07)...and i'm gettin a brand new engine cuz my oil was a quart and a half low after 1,500 miles, what's so bad about gettin a new engine?!

I've an 03 since Jan 03 and it's true about the radio going bad, I replaced mine 2 times until I got a double din DVD w/ sat nav and all the frills. it has 59639 miles. It is a great car and FREE and CLEAR on this times is a big +.Get what you want, anyways every car you buy will have issues.I've owned this one for six and a half years and Have.t spend more than $500 on repairs (other than oil and filter changes, tires and brakes).Good luck!

I own my 04 for almost 6 years without any electrical/circuit board issues. Yes the brakes were wearing prematurely until I switched to ceramics and now they are quite, dustfree, and should last twice as long.

I just picked this car up a month ago and it basically has most of the regular symptoms.

1) Bose Headunit cutting out the left side speakers when I use the CD or Cassette Function

2) My oil gauge is inaccurate. I can't fully fill that tank up.

3) Right side door lock actuator failing....

Ive only put a few thousands miles on my car so I dont know about premature brake wear or uneven tire wear.

I have a third party warranty on my car.

You think the dealer will honor any recall and service bulletins since I have "warranty"?

Common problems. If you have a decent 3rd party warranty, I'd take advantage of that. The dealer should honor it.

I must have the best 03 G35 Coupe ever made, zip for issues, runs great, does what it should and I like the fact that in the near future the '03 Coupes will be sought as the originals. Nothing wrong with that idea at all. I say buy what you can afford and check it out real good but don't shy away because some have an issue or two.
