Hello all!
I'm undertaking a project with my "new" G35. I'm always curious to learn about automotive technology and devices and wanted to take a car apart to see how each and every bit works. It'll be a fun project that I intend to make some videos on to share with the community. I've done this back in 2017 to a Toyota Corolla and chose the G35 because it is mechanically different.

I picked up this 2004 G35 RWD for not much. Its in rough shape and needs full suspension, tires, brakes, exhaust and a front end to ever become drive-able again.



My plans are to slowly take things apart piece by piece and detail what's inside and how it works. I'd focus on the major subsystems such as the engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, steering, as well as smaller things like wipers, windows and electronics.

I made a short walk around video of the car here:

What do you guys think?

Haha good one, its not that ea$y.
The cars aren't that expensive to begin with...couple of hundred bucks can get you a well-featured car if you don't care too much about condition/mileage/reliability and you are scrapping it. Sometimes you can get back a hundred or two if you score one with a decent set of wheels/tires and intact body panels and lights.

Thanks! I look forward to it too!

Yes it is almost a job in itself, though I try not to make it be, since engineering is my full time day job. But I sure do enjoy it!
