hello all

i also just bought a 05 g35 v6 manual with 54 miles on it, i had it for a week and yesterday out of nowhere the car tempurature went sky high and it got really hot, the radiator on the car is brand new and so is the coolent flushed, but i did realize one of the fans is not working, the one in the driver side, could that be the problem or am looking at something more serious?

i do have full exust installed,

thanks for the help

Welcome to NICO

How is it a 05 G35 only has 54 miles on it?

Where did the radiator come from and who did the work?

There are a few things that are easy to do on a G but after you read the FSM on the cooling system you may decide to let the dealer check it out.
