2008 G35X (VQ35HR) reliability?

[FelixArthur]

Hello, I am looking at possibly purchasing a G35X. The car has 142000KM or ~90K miles. Generally, I have read that the VQ35HR has been fairly reliable aside from the oil gallery gasket issue it shares with the VQ37. Is this a problem that is common, especially at a higher mileage sample like the one I would like to purchase?

Also, I am planning to view the car later, is there any advice or things I should look for?

Thank you in advance!

2010 G37x owner here. From all of the research I've done, it appears the gasket issue only affects a small percentage of the VQ37 engines (something like 10%-15% of cars built before 2012), and has been blown out of proportion by the internet. I bought my G37 with 70k on it, currently at 90k with no issues. I'm not sure if the same is true about the VQ35, but I'd assume it's not any more widespread.
