The VQ35 and VQ37 are amazing engines as long as you are religious with respect to oil changes. Don't change the oil enough in a 350 / 370Z or a G35, G37, or Q60 and it WILL bite you in the butt big time. I have seen them trashed in as little as 35K miles. In that case, the owner let the oil go over 10K between changes. The engine was so full of sludge that it ended up cheaper to replace the engine.

I had that in the ultra edition....wicked car....

Only issues I have had with my vq was the timing slap and ended up jumping timing (luckily at start up) and rear main seal leaking. Luckily the valves survived the timing jump. Other then those 2 issues it's been solid. That is on my stock motor. I'm at 10k with my built block and refreshed heads. No problems besides knock harness.

The VQ35DE engine started in the 2002 Max, the early Vq35 engines were notorious for oil burning due to the piston rings wearing prematurely ... 2001 was the last year for the VQ30DE , which was on the Wards 10 best engines since it's inception in 1995 which Nissan used as a platform for the VQ35. Strong engines nonetheless

I have 05 Altima with VQ35DE 5 speed I drive other cars for living I love this and Nissan's traction control is very good in our rainy weather

The VQ is in the Xterra as well. "Detuned" is a bit unfair. What they did for the Xterra is they stroked the VQ35 to displace 4L (hence VQ40), which lessens horsepower, but increases torque, and broadens the power band, which is what you want for a truck/off road rig. Not detuned, just differently tuned. 15 years old and still the torque leader in small truck gas engines. Cheers man!

What exhaust do you have on yours? My 04 G35 is pretty much stock, nothing done to it.

This video is very miss leading. Any NA engine isn't going to get much from air filters, exhausts and remaps. But this VQ35 block can run around 400-450bhp with a turbo kit without needing to build any of the engine...

I just bought a 2005 G35 Coupe with 75k miles. Its in amazing fucking condition and I love it!

I've straight pipe,cold air intake, head unit and brand new speakers. She's the greatest first I've ever owned. The VQ motor is a good V6 displacement out of most other v6s that I could think of in my opinion

Our 04 Pathfinder has the VQ35DE and it is very fast for something that's known to haul kids around, didn't know oil consumption was such a big thing on these cars

Check your oil every 500, also witched from full synth to a blend and maybe a bit less oil loss

I do take it out on the highway for 15-30min every couple of weeks just to try and avoid too much carbon buildup but the vast majority of the miles I put on it are stop and go, 45mph driving. I live in a suburban area and my commute to work is about 5-10 minutes. My mpg's aren't so great either because of that. Most of the time I average 14mpg just because I'm almost never on the highway.

VQ' s ROCK, just treat it like you want to keep it forever & don't let lots of small repairs pile up.

You don't adjust clearances (done with buckets, not lifters). It never needs to be done. Timing chain does not need to be touched unless a guide goes bad (not that common). Coolant mod DOES NOT need to be done unless going for boost. Tensioner is not a big deal. Dual mass is junk, but is used, b/c people are sissies and keeps noise down (like every car). You're gonna have to come up with better excuses. Use quality 40 weight oil and actually check it, it'll last forever. Idiots don't do this and blow em up or cry about severe oil consumption later.

Love my g, the 03 got motor trend car of the year.

You can split hairs & say ANY engine has problems with SOMETHING! The VQ35 (what I've got) is a STRONG engine. #1 priority; change oil regularly; DONT EVER LET IT RUN HOT! If your temp starts going up, STOP IMMEDIATELY! Better to tow it in & change water pump than to have to rebuild or replace the engine. Do those 2 things along with normal check-ups & your car will run, run, run, & FAST! Also, I know you young boys like your add-ons & expensive mods, but anytime you modify a VQ (or any other engine really, trust me I've done it too) you will likely have problems that may damage your car over time, especially anything to do with catalytic converters, exhaust, or trying to get more HP than the cars designed for. Remember these cars came from factory already tuned & matched to what the engineers knew would be best for long-term use. Change any of the settings by adding on hi-perf components & while it might add lots of extra power, it could also create problems.

But would you ever spend the time and $ to swap a VQ into lets say an S chassis that see's track time? I think a VQ35HR sounds like a cool NA swap for my S14 but feel like the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze and do a lighter weight Honda K24 or F22 swap for my track build.

BTW, I think the 2006 G35sc was the 1st year model that actually "stomped" on BMW's & Mercedes, (check out Road & Track magazines test from 2006). Until then BMW's dominated rallies, (I think, check it out as I said). Either way, the VQ's beat the living crap out of the straight 6 BMW engines, & cost WAAAY less to maintain (or modify). Trust me, I've had my fill of BMW's!

MHSMOKEEATER for reliability I'd say the qr is a great platform.

I had a 3.5 vq in my nissan pathfinder (2001) and it drank oil and I eventually blew the head gasket on it while towing. It seemed like an ok motor overall but Terrible motor for an SUV. I bought a g37 after that and its a fun car but it lags at lower RPM's especially when you put the throttle down from coasting at moderate speeds but if you are in the powerband and put your foot down the thing can be scary fast.

The thing is they were updated. The thing is it was in japan.the 03 and 05 g's were 01 and 02 in japan.

VQ's are awesome. I'm having some issues with my VQ35HR rn but doesn't mean I dont still love it!!!!

Hey bro you not lieing about the VQ35DE im still dustin doors off of bmw's and older Mustangs and 350/370z's in 2004 Nissan Pathfinder LE Platinum ed.R50.

My first VQ car was an Altima and still is over 7 years later. There is some "mods" to the engine but mostly intake and exhaust with tune. Makes decent power yea but the surprise factor is the handling. Not a lot of money spent made this car into a corner killer.

It's a perfect engine had one for 8 yrs. Now to the new but what I dislike were the fuckn bushings and mass air flow sensors those I changed often, but the motor was perfect with great maintenance.

with right mods it's not hard to get 300+hp out of a VQ35DE in a Maxima with right mods. I've seen Dyno videos around KZread of 5.5 gen maximas putting down 290+hp at the wheels. headers, 3"exhaust system, larger throttle body, open filter , 4" intake and tune.

what did you use to paint your engine bay cover?

I love my VQ35De; 2006 Nissan Altima SE R . :D

Catching this in the fall of 2019 looking for supercharger kit for my 07. It seems like they all stop at 06 even vortech it's the vq35 de automatic

I change my mind i might keep mine put a twin turbo on it and stainless exuast + aluminium pulleyies proberly replace the headlights with more fancy ones and maybe some of the things you done my one is 2005 350gt sedan also might purchase a BMW aswell

I hate my 2003 g35 , burns oil, leaks oil overheats on summer if the a.c. is on at stop lights, i have replaced everything in cooling system, from water pump to radiator. And every 2 years i have to replace o² sensors. I miss my older 528i , got it to 300 k miles no issues .:(

vq has serious faults especially oil leak issue. that is disastorous. how can this engine be top 10 engine

Anything you could link me to supporting this statement? I've done a lot of looking around to learn as much as I can about this engine for maintenance purposes and the most commonly reported oil leak seems to be one that springs up just below the axle. Apparently it's almost always just a worn cooler seal which is not only a cheap part in itself, but due to its position it also shouldn't cost much in labour if you took it to a mechanic.

@@GrimTransmission that is possible.

Mine isn't tuned to operate at peak, lol. 2004 Pathfinder 240hp, I know it can get more.

Vq35 de is 280hp/270ftlbs Vq35De Revup is 300hp/287ftlbs Vq35hr is 307hp/290ftlbs Vq37 315hp/295ftlbs

which exhaust do you have installed?

What is your exhaust setup?

vq is still amazing engine. 335 had to use turbo just to beat g35hr and 37, but not by much (stock) they were similar.

they r not at there maximum hp potential look at my altima im 100% sure with a tune i will be putting down more then 300 and thats whp when they rate the power your car has its at the crank big diff i belive the altima stock has like 210-220 the the tires so i made atleast 80 hp on it na

I have an 03 coupe. Deleted cats and a cat back stainless Z1 exhaust. Im gonna put some aftermarket nrg seats in it soon, get rid of the 200 pounds worth of front seats. Lol then im looking at a set of 370z wheels and some coilovers.

VQ35DE or VQ35HR? I wasn't sure specifically what the discussion was.

The Gs of this gen only got the DE variant, only the 350z got the HR as an option during this time

The biggest downfall is that it's not an HR...

I just bought s 2008 g35 sedan with 32k miles. I heard the 2008 is the better version of all 3. The high rev has the most problems with oil consumption and the engine before.

I swap my engine oil every month no lie I'm so sacred of the oil burning. but I took the precaution of checking my oil gaskets and pvc valve. as long as those gaskets are intact u can actually slow the process down thru my experiences. oh btw I only spent like 500 on my ride for headers and installation. I also made an intake that was less than 100 dollars so maybe like 400 has been dumped in my ride no exhaust yet but coming soon..so I haven't spent much on mods and car is reliable as shit.

Wonder why 02 altima. vq35de no one offers ability to tune it. 1990 Taurus SHO made 250hp

The VQ Engines take very well to modifications and you can make a frist gen 350Z extremely fast like I have seen 350z like 800 plus horsepower and all the way to 950 one pump gas just check out Roads Untravled just for that 950 pump gas 350z so this engine us a work if art and if you got cash you can make that engine destroy a lot of things on the road today
