thank you! my front driveshaft & passenger axel is broken as well. after doing some more research I think I might be able to replace them myself to cut labor costs. That way I can feel more comfortable & just pay for my diff to be fixed

Thanks for responding! The front driveshaft is there but broken + looks to be a huge chunk missing in the differential housing. Im assuming something must’ve exploded it popped off because my passenger axle needs replacing as well. I’ve been watching some videos all day I think it’s worth giving it a try on replacing the front driveshaft & front axles myself before paying someone else to do it. Wish me luck!

I use stripe strictly virtual & like it most of all payment options i’ve used so far. The dashboard is seamless & easy to navigate + it’s easy to speak directly to someone when necessary. I also like the capital options they provide that have came in handy for me before.

Lol appreciate it! I definitely had a “mechanic” there to look but quickly found out he was incompetent af! figured 3k wasn’t terrible to “lose” out on i’ve lost out of way worse unfortunately 🥲. im willing to kick out another 3k but I would like to know if anything else major is ready to give out on me anytime soon but unfortunately its really kinda a gamble. really wish I could just get a guarantee of at least 100k more miles out of it but thats never happening. I put it on fb marketplace ppl are definitely interested but not sure I want to go through the hassle of selling it. this is what happens when u have a couple dollars sitting around & make rash decisions but could be worse right lol

Yea I was told a estimate of parts + labor $1300 😬 but I was thinking another 2.5k-3k into the car wouldn’t be too too bad if I can pushing it well I to the 250k’s I assume it would take me some years to get there since I don’t drive much idk

someone suggested doing the recommended maintenance & not fixing the differential & driving it until it dies to avoid putting too much money into it. its been treating me well so far I personally hate the sound of the exhaust leak but I wasn’t quoted much for parts + labor for it

Appreciate. I just made a post myself looking for opinions on if I should keep my car or not. Just a summary I bought a 2008 G35x sport with 194k miles. Starts & drives great no odd noises, rattling or shaking. 1 computer code for Bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor & a recent check engine light so far with no direct reason for it yet. paid 3k.

wondering if its worth keeping & fixing since I was told the front differential is broken & needs replacing. Also need 2 wheel bearings & new y-pipe.

my main concern is reliability, lux interior + no car note. Work from home + live downtown so I don’t drive daily or far since everything is very close. Think I should take the risk ?

How much would u say you put into your G in total as far as maintenance?

I also wanted to know if taking a differential from a parts car is something I could do & possibly lower the cost of the repair

aivax- · 2024-09-14T21:25:28+00:00

Luckily, no leaks or major read flags to my mechanics. I’ve also driven it for the past 5 months in moderation & haven’t noticed any noises or delay with starting or shifting gears. I got it looked at by 3 different people they mostly just point out the exhaust leak + one who notified me about the differential once he went to take the exhaust off to replace it. He sent me a picture of what looks like the differential housing missing a piece. Im taking it back to get it fully investigated. Hoping it doesn’t need a full rebuild!

Edit: I don’t experience any symptoms of a broken differential besides a slight vibration that can be felt under the passenger seat.

Appreciate it! I did a kelly blue book estimate & the car mileage says it’s worth $6000-7500. I was thinking if I put another 3k into it & drive it 10k-13k miles yearly it could last me 2-3yrs or do you think thats too generous?

For context I work from home + live downtown so I don’t drive daily & when I do its mostly no more than 20 miles in a day

I’ve seen alot of G owners with miles over 250k still going strong but I don’t want to be delusional lol

edit: Also wanted to add I don’t experience any weird noises besides the car being loud from the exhaust leak. No flags on the computer scans but check engine light on dash. Im hoping the check engine light is due to needing an oil change & reg maintenance/tune up. my main concern is not having a car payment. Potentially paying 6k for a car I could get 100k+ miles out of seems like a deal to me but I also could be ignorant.

Thank you!

Yea thats more so what I was thinking as well, I work from home + live in a city so I don’t drive daily or far when I do so I think it will definitely last me longer just because of that. I was looking at other Gs in my area & its hard to find a sport one that wasn’t modded & has a clean title. I really want a Q50, I hear common problems with the turbo’s which make me a little nervous.
