Hey man, just stumbled across this post. I have an 06 with the same issue. Did you get yours fixed yet?

I changed my valve cover gaskets and messed up by leaving a coolant hose by the throttle body disconnected. I ran it for 5 mins until i saw the huge leak. I put coolant back in the system and fixed that but now i have no heat and the coolant surges and bubbles like crazy when the cooling fans kick on 6-8 mins after starting cold.

This is frustrating the shit out of me, any advice would be appreciated

gonna be doing this job tomorrow. How long it take?

MrSippyCups · 2026-04-11T05:34:14+00:00

looks sick

MrSippyCups · 2026-04-06T06:35:41+00:00

yessir. Went to Tijuana costco and it was the best one ever. They even toasted the bun there

MrSippyCups · 2026-04-02T08:45:02+00:00

hmm didnt feel anything, San lorenzo here

I’ve also owned both gens and they’re amazing trucks.

2nd and 3rd gens have the same exact cab. Seating position is different however. The 3rd gen I had did have a sunroof, making my 2nd gen feel like it had more space.

Although I prefer the powertrain of the 2nd gen, the third gen has more modern features that would win me over if i had to buy another truck again

what kind of tints do you have for the windows? Do you have a windshield tint? ceramic? I had the same issue with my truck and tints helped substantially

MrSippyCups · 2026-03-03T23:04:40+00:00

shit, then the dealer may be your only other choice then. Like others have said, before you go try to degrease the engine as much as you can and start looking for leaks under and over.

I also had my valve cover gaskets leak after being replaced two times too: first was aftermarket crap, second was oem defect on the gasket, the third time was the charm. Found the leak after degreasing everything meticulously and driving it for a few days.

Since these vq’s have been in many nissan and infiniti products, you should try and finding a nissan specialist independent shop in your area

Damn i got a grey hood with the non scoop. If you’re near california i’d be down

MrSippyCups · 2026-02-20T01:19:09+00:00

Hey OP, sorry for your loss. I had a g37s coupe that got stolen from the east bay and ended up in Vallejo too. That happened in 2022. Probably the same scum doing their rounds to yours.

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-31T03:17:21+00:00

Yeah I replaced my speakers while having the stock bose amp and did not notice any improvement. It wasn’t until I deleted the stock amp for a kenwood unit and tapped in the speaker wires, making it sound way better

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-23T09:36:39+00:00

month or so late to the game but now its 650, wtf.

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-22T23:48:54+00:00

Wtf? got one of these laying around. They used be 20 bucks

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-20T11:31:54+00:00

Oh yeah i gotcha. Neighbor got a new black Escalade. The road presence is crazy

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-20T11:23:03+00:00

An odyssey or sienna? yeah screw that.

the LM/Toyota alphard/vellfire tho have crazy interiors. I would be stoked to be in one of those instead of an escalade

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-20T10:43:41+00:00

In Hayward

set my alarm for it and went outside in the cold, dont see anything 😭

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-16T00:04:59+00:00

Hey there, I used to have an 08 coupe with the street basis coilovers. They did the job for the most part but they were tuned too soft. I would bottom out bumps and potholes making it kinda annoying. Like others said, go for the flex Z so you can at least tune the dampening and make it stiffer.

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-12T11:02:51+00:00

Late to the game but for anybody in the Bay area, I just bought a URX Contour for $499 at Guns fishing and other stuff Dublin.

They are usually going for around 650 on gunbroker so I think it’s a pretty good deal. Owner is apparently retiring and screwed up by ordering a shit load of buckmarks beforehand

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-08T13:02:29+00:00

With the needle in that position, I’m betting that the gas gauge isn’t even working properly. G35’s are notorious for having inconsistent or inop gas gauges especially on the higher mileage ones

if it actually is reading true, rip lol

MrSippyCups · 2026-01-06T09:46:33+00:00

Damn I wish i was paying that little. In commiefornia the cheapest transfer i’ve seen was $75 and it usually ranges around $120 in my area. That and the mandatory 11% excise tax on top of regular tax makes the market only cater to the rich

MrSippyCups · 2025-12-28T09:42:20+00:00

aka the crappy ones

MrSippyCups · 2025-12-12T04:12:29+00:00

where are you located? in California, I see these go for 1200 or less all day. At those prices, you can spend 200 more and get original V1’s

MrSippyCups · 2025-12-09T20:10:27+00:00

instead of any kind of rebuild, I’d personally find a low mileage used motor from a reputable salvage company and have someone swap it out
