Hello guys I recently got a 07 g35 and I’ve noticed it seems to smoke from the middle of the exhaust and the back of the engine when I drive it aggressively I’ve also recently replaced the valve cover gaskets the bottom of the exhaust also had caked up oil that I cleaned up and stopped for a while and then it started smoking again. Any tips on what it could be
So, I've had a G37 for 5 years, I bought it from Carvana. It has been the most regretful choice in my life and it's at the shop for the last time if they can't find the issue. It was overpriced, and lied about its condition, I atleast know certain things what to look for, and how durable the vq engine is. WHEN MY 3.7 WORKED! It drives amazing, drive like new. No matter what, it keeps having this one issue..and when it does..it's just undrivable and unfixable. It is the exhaust and fuel related, even after the fuel pump was fixed, it's so hot it's breaking down again and at the shop prob because of the exhaust leak (I really hope that's the issue, it's making it undrivable and affects performance, we've been hunting it for YEARS) Is there anything specific I should know about the VQ35VHR (or hr, it does't say, but I'll know in person) I'm looking at I should know about? It's 12 grand for 68k miles. Similar to the milage my 3.7 was but it was like 20 grand when we bought it in 2020. Otherwise, I'm looking at the maxima variant or boring cars because I'm tired of dealing with this pit now that it's paid off. (No, I couldn't give it back to carvana because of thier scam policy, the whole thing was a huge mistake, and yes I will be replacing said exhaust (gaskets and hardware, exhaust itself is replaced, that's a whole nother story) as a last result, but I don't have much hope at this point and am very hesitant.)
