Heres a couple of things you can check. Start your car and remove the radiator cap,(before it gets hot mind you) when it reaches norm operating temp, look inside radiator to see if water is circulating. If its not moving, its a bad water pump. Also, youre hoses should never collapse, if they collapse when they get hot maybe you need new hoses? Finally, if those dont work, flush out your radiator. Open the bottom cockpit and use a garden hose and let it flush out the system while the car is running, about 10 mins should do the trick. If the radiator looks clean inside then it doesnt need flushed.

2004 g35 over heating, just bought a new thremostat but still overheats only when i drive it

I think the OP was referring to an engine overheating issue only while driving. If you are certain there are no air pockets in the system and the thermostat has been bench tested to verify opening temperature then its possible This could be from a failed water pump. I believe those years had plastic impellers on the water pump. If that broke you are getting no coolant circulation even though the water pump appears to be turning via the accessory drive belt. Also verify there are no obstructions I.e. dirt, bugs etc clogging vital airflow over the radiator. Debris can also get stuck between the condenser and the radiator as well and hinder airflow. Also verify your fans are working even though you state its cool at idle. Good luck!

My window on 2005 infiniti g35 stop working recommendations?

I have a 2004 G35 Coupe that had the same probelm.

I checked some fuses -- all appeared to be OK. Then tried locking and unlocking the driver-side car door several time, using the key and the car fob.

Presto, the window stared working again.

Caution, I believe there is an issue (at least with the coupe) about raising windows while the door is open and then closing the door.

I have infiniti g35,2003 model but it have overheat problem what can i do?

-Make sure your thermostat is working properly, if not, replace it.
-Make sure your water pump is working properly, if not, replace it.
-Make sure you have enough coolant and that it is a good ratio of coolant to water mixture I use 50/50 mix of coolant and water.
-Check to see if your head is cracked or has a leak in the gaskets.
-Check your tail pipe to see if coolant is coming out of the back which will indicate a leak.
-Check the upper and lower radiator hoses for cracks and wear and tear and leaks.
-Replace your radiator cap

These are possibly problems and or solutions, but will better help you understand your overheating problem

Overheating

there is a coolant cap on the overflow bottle check it for seal
i'd just replace it
also if you put the new thermostat in backward the overheating would be significant

Overheating

My 04 G35 is overheating. I have read forums on the issue. Everything from a gasket on the rad cap, to bleeding the system, flushing the system, to a new thermostat.
I took it to the dealer and they said the cap is ok, but there is a very small drip that they can not find. They refilled it and there was no problem.
Today, a week later, the temp gauge went almost to H and when I got home I looked under the hood and the antifreeze resevoir was empty!! I had no heat either, but this makes sense if their was no anti freeze.
