VQ35DE Water pump replacement - Nissan Skyline CPV35 (350Z, G35, Z33 etc...)

Water pump replacement on VQ35DE engine Nissan Skyline 350GT CPV35 (same applies for Infiniti G35, 350z, Fairlady Z Z33 and other cars that share pre-2007 VQ35 block).

If you see coolant under your car, overheating or hear noise from water pump area- it might be time for water pump exchange.
Those pumps don't have any specific exchange interval, but rather when problem appears or if you're replacing timing chain (same thing applies for chain). Water pump is a bit tricky on those engines because it's chain driven. Repair can be expensive, and a lot of people who attempt to replace end up with chain jumping a tooth or more.

Exchange was done in pretty bad conditions ( 3AM on a parking lot in front of a building where I'm not supposed to wrench, and with minimum tools) so I haven't recorded much. Regardless I tried to include as much useful info as possible... No point in including every single detail because video would end up being 2 hours long.

-If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
