The 2006 Infiniti G35 is equipped with Nissan’s VQ35DE 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine, producing 280 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque in sedan form, or 298 horsepower in coupe configuration. This aluminum DOHC engine features variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts, electronic throttle control, and a drive-by-wire system. The VQ35DE is known for its smooth power delivery and distinctive exhaust note, making it popular among enthusiasts. It’s paired with either a 5-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission, depending on the trim level and body style selected.

The 2006 Infiniti G35 shares most parts with the 2003-2007 G35 generation, as this represents the first-generation model run. Engine components from the VQ35DE are largely interchangeable across all these years, though there were minor revisions in 2005 and 2006. Body panels and interior components are generally compatible within the sedan (2003-2006) and coupe (2003-2007) body styles respectively. Some electrical components and ECU modules may require programming when swapped between different model years. The 2007 G35 sedan was replaced by the G37, but the coupe continued, so coupe parts have broader compatibility. Always verify part numbers for critical components like airbags and engine management systems.

The VQ35DE 3.5L V6 in the 2006 G35 is generally considered a reliable and robust engine when properly maintained. With regular oil changes every 3,000-5,000 miles using quality synthetic oil, these engines commonly exceed 200,000 miles. The main weakness is the timing chain tensioner system, which should be inspected around 80,000 miles and replaced preventively if showing wear. The engine responds well to premium fuel as recommended by Infiniti, though regular unleaded won’t cause damage. Keep up with scheduled maintenance including spark plugs every 60,000 miles and air filter replacement. The VQ35DE has proven itself in various Nissan and Infiniti applications over many years.
