This was just posted on Driver. Since I’ve had it up for a while (thanks to Kenny, nicknamed da mayor), I figured it should be posted for reference.
It is a G35x modification. just drives the rear wheels and turns off the AWD. Either installing a switch or simply pulling the AWD fuse will accomplish this.
I have one! This is the video. You must fast-forward till approximately halfway through because I did not edit it.

You cannot reset them, so be careful to check the tire pressures. Anytime any tire pressure dips below 29 psi, the Infiniti Tire Pressure Monitoring System is programmed to trip the warning light. It won’t appear that the tires are low at 29 psi. One tire at 29 or 28 could be the reason the light is constantly on. Check your pressures and leave them at 34 or 35 psi for safety or whatever the tire manufacturer recommends. The display that indicates the tire pressure in each tire is not available in all Infiniti vehicles with TPMS. If the pressures are higher than 29 psi, one or more of the sensors may not be working properly. The sensors will need to be relearned at the dealer if the tires are changed. The same is not necessary for tire rotations.
Setup for Suspension
Make the suspension faster than the engine at all times. Being able to turn and halt will always be more crucial than being able to travel quickly. A properly tuned Infiniti G35X suspension can help you out-handle your rivals and, depending on the type of racing you do, even improve your times. Until the suspension is changed with a performance setup, such as coilovers, a car with softer suspension from the factory will nearly always handle poorly. Old, worn-out suspension should be replaced since it greatly impairs handling, especially in spirited driving where handling is crucial.
Infiniti, do you have AWD?
All-wheel drive is a feature that is offered on every new INFINITI vehicle currently for sale. Infiniti vehicles that have been correctly fitted will provide you peace of mind with improved traction and control thanks to the INFINITI Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system.
What drives Infiniti AWD?
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive may direct up to 50% of the available power to your front wheels by monitoring wheel spin, throttle position, and vehicle speed. improving their grasp so you can arrive without compromising, even in less-than-ideal circumstances
What does the Infiniti G35x’s snow mode do?
The drive mode personalization features on a number of our INFINITI models, including the 2021 INFINITI Q50 and the 2020 INFINITI QX60, let you tailor your drive to the road and your particular tastes. With modifications to engine and gearbox outputs, efficiency ratios, steering ratios, and force settings, the adjustable options improve vehicle performance.
The unrivaled Snow Mode from INFINITI is one of these options. By adjusting the throttle to account for the wintery circumstances for smoother performance and more safety, the assistive technology alters your engine output when you choose this option in snowy conditions. This reduces tire spin on slick roads. Your INFINITI will be more responsive in the snow and have a softer throttle profile in this setting.
The AWD on your car also benefits from INFINITI’s Snow Mode, which closely monitors wheel spin sensors and modifies power delivery to enhance handling.
The G35 from Infiniti has rear-wheel drive.
With its ubiquitous VQ35DE engine, the Infiniti G35 achieves a 52% front/48% rear weight distribution with a front-midship engine and rear-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is an option for the G35x sedan).
The 2007 G35 Coupe is AWD, right?
Review of the 2007 INFINITI G35 With the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive, the G35 is available as a sedan or coupe (AWD only for sedan). The sedan is available in four different variants, each with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 306 horsepower. All models come standard with a five-speed automatic transmission with manual mode.
The G35x Infiniti has all-wheel drive, right?
MPG and performance The 3.5-liter V6 in the G35 produces 268 pound-feet of torque and 306 horsepower. All other vehicles save the G35x have rear-wheel drive. A five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control and downshift rev-matching will be standard on most versions.
How fast does AWD operate?
Torque vectoring is a feature of some systems that can further divide the power between the left and right wheels. Greater often than not, this is the case with performance cars, where adding more torque to an outside rear wheel can help the front end turn into curves with more control.
Some AWD versions have a “lock” button that will distribute power evenly 50/50. Most only function at modest speeds and are designed for tasks like removing oneself from a snowy driveway. The lock automatically disengages after you go beyond the system’s speed limit, which is often between 30 and 40 km/h, and the system resumes normal AWD operation.
How can you tell what kind of system your AWD car has then? Since manufacturers may just claim all-wheel drive without describing its specific operation or the ratio of torque distribution, it isn’t always simple to determine. If you have a “lock” button, your owner’s manual might explain how to use it, but to be sure, you should probably give the automaker’s customer service line a call.
Is AWD always engaged?
The majority of all-wheel-drive automobiles and sport utility vehicles have a variable system of some kind, able to distribute power as necessary for improved traction, notably on slick terrain, during curves and acceleration.
It’s not the same as four-wheel drive (4WD). The majority of 4WD pickup trucks and SUVs have a “part-time” technology, which necessitates activating four-wheel only when necessary. In an AWD vehicle, such as a sport utility, the system is always in use.
A G35 is it a skyline?
A BMW-style Skyline has the advantage of being more appealing to customers and being able to be sold worldwide for the first time in its 45-year history. Infiniti G35 is the moniker Nissan gave it for the North American market. In essence, that is comparable to the most expensive Skyline offered for sale in Japan.
How does the snow mode on an INFINITI work?
Utilizing assistive technology, INFINITI Snow Mode modifies your engine power to lessen wheel spin on slick roads. In order to improve performance and boost safety, it also changes the throttle to account for winter conditions.
The G35x is quick.
The 3.5-liter V6 engine gives the G35 its reputation as a fiercely sporty breed. It has both an automatic and a manual transmission, and it has a 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. Except for the G35x, which offers an all-wheel powertrain as an option, every trim model has rear-wheel drive.
Depending on the situation, the G35x’s optional all-wheel-drive system lets the driver distribute power equally between the front and rear axles or engage all of it to the rear wheels. The G35x has a snow drive option that locks the power drive into snow mode until the speed of the vehicle surpasses 20 km/h. The car’s exceptional handling and torque levels are maintained via a quick and skillfully constructed wheel drive shifting system.
The G35’s manual and automatic transmission systems properly manage the engine output and are quick and smooth. The other trim levels feature 5-speed automatic gearboxes with manual shift controls and downshift rev-matching, but the G35 Sport 6MT has a 6-speed manual transmission.
All G35 versions, regardless of transmission type, are absurdly quick. In various testing, a G35 with a 5-speed automatic transmission reaches 60 mph in an impressive 5.6 seconds, 100 mph in 6.2 seconds, and can sprint a quarter-mile in 13.9 seconds.
The G35’s incredible performance is offset by an almost astonishing level of fuel efficiency. According to EPA estimates, the G35 automatic gets 17 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the interstate. The G35 manual has fuel economy ratings of 17/25 mpg in city driving and 17/23 mpg on the interstate, respectively. These figures make the fight for G35 fierce.
What Infiniti vehicle is the fastest?
The fastest INFINITI vehicle is the Q50 Red Sport 400, which has a 3.0-liter V-6 twin-turbocharged engine that accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
How far can the G35 travel?
The Infiniti G35 often has no significant problems after more than 200,000 km. Age and current mileage must be taken into account when discussing the G35’s longevity, too, and the best way to extend its lifespan is to keep up with maintenance like routine oil changes and tire rotations.
What causes all-wheel drive to stop?
The driver information center may display the All-Wheel Drive Off message (DIC). The all-wheel drive (AWD) system has been turned off and the rear drive system is overheating when the DIC displays this alarm.

Does snow mode use all four wheels?
According to Edmunds, cold weather causes the surface of the roads to change quickly. Roads can become covered with ice and snow throughout the winter, which makes them very slick. Driving on these slick conditions requires traction, which is essential. When necessary, all-wheel-drive systems automatically apply torque to all four wheels or deliver power to all four wheels simultaneously. All-wheel drive is therefore recommended for navigating icy and snowy routes. A vehicle with all-wheel drive eliminates the need for driver intuition.
According to The Globe and Mail, four-wheel drive is a good choice for traveling in thicker snow or in more severe winter weather. For instance, four-wheel drive may perform better in certain situations if you come across a snowdrift or an ice hill.
Consider which is better for your needs rather than seeing four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive as competitors. Where does your tire contact the snow when you’re driving, says Auto Sock? Four-wheel drive can be more practical for your requirements if you reside on a back road that isn’t routinely plowed. All-wheel drive can be a better option for you if you reside in a city where the roads are often plowed but the weather is still treacherous.
How quickly can a car go in snow mode?
I just wanted to ask a quick question about driving in Snow Mode with AD1 and speed. I’m traveling down Interstate 80 in Northern California toward the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where snowy conditions are predicted. Is there a speed limit when using AD1’s Snow Mode? Now that I am aware of the fact that my speed will probably depend on the road’s conditions, I only wanted to know if the AD1 system had a set maximum speed. I once owned a Ford Bronco (yup, going old school with a car that had a “true” 4×4 system), and I recall that it was advised under 4-Wheel Drive High to keep the speed down to 45 mph to prevent tire damage.
No, the Snow mode has no speed limit. You can travel at any speed. In order to reduce tire sliding and better balance the power output across the 4 wheels, snow mode will put you in second gear as soon as you leave a stop.
I’ve tried driving in snow mode on the interstate, but I couldn’t tell the difference between it and auto. Only when the roads are covered with a new coating of snow do I find myself employing Snow mode in the city. Otherwise, I Auto performs admirably.
