Hi, I'm thinkimg of buying a FX35 around 2010. Any advice on what look out for, model specific things. Whats it like on a daily basis, what do you like and don't like about the car?

Hey yall I love the outside body of the 2023 infiniti qx55 but I don’t like the inside dash with the 2 screens what can I upgrade with?

I recently purchased a 2027 QX80. Despite extensive research I didn't see any watch outs on height clearance issues. I assumed it would be similar to other large SUVs like Tahoe and navigator. I've now been to 3 garages in which my car can't fit - and have anxiety about anywhere I need to park! Have other experienced this? Does the suspension help or just when parked? I haven't been able to figure this out. Curious that there's not much public about this!

I understand I can just replace the whole rear control arm and it would probably be easier and smarter but I don’t have $400+ rn to drop I already spent $40 on the new bushings so I’d rather go through with this I tried renting a tool at O’Reilly I then tried the method where you use a rod and 2 sockets nothing im not sure if I’m doing something wrong or there’s a more efficient method

Will it be noticeable if I don’t fix it and is it not as big of a deal as I’m making it?

2015 Q60S. What is the warning light just to the left of the 160 on the speedometer? It looks like a little red car and it's started a slow blink. I can't find the meaning of the light anywhere. Thanks for any help!

EX37 - not sure if this has started recently or I just noticed it, but many times, mostly on shifting to gears 2-4, there is a small hesitation once the next gear kicks in, with the rpm’s playing up/down, feeling literally like some clutch slipping. Anyone faced that before? Is it a warning sign of an upcoming failure or just normal?

Bough this car as a fun weekend/cruiser hot VUS. +-70k miles

Car is fantastic to drive No problem at all

Around 13mpg without highway

I have a rav4 2021 for the week .

Only complaints would be -no heated steering wheel (live in Canada) -heated seats are weak vs other vus

Have somebody tune this car , is it worth it ?

Thanks

I currently have a 2009 Fx35, with 209k miles (original engine and transmission). Its been my daily driver but we're looking for some more space for road trips, ect.

I see the QX60 has an upgraded version of the FX35 engine the DD, while the FX has the DE variant.

However, my main concern is the ZF transmission, are they reliable? Ive seen a few at 93k miles and they aren't priced bad, Id be willing to take one on at that mileage, if reliable.

I remember back in the day the service notifications were time / milage based. the "service due now" notification came up. I did the last service last december (about 10k miles), and now we're end of Oct and car is at 17k miles.

im sure its time based, but just wanted to confirm

Is this normal sounding qx50 3.7 with aftermarket dual air intakes. Drove it 25 miles and parked

Grok stated this, though looking for infinity owner/Mechanics thoughts :

What you’re hearing after the 25-mile drive and parking is almost certainly the electric radiator cooling fans continuing to run. On the QX50 3.7 (VQ37VHR), the fans are controlled independently of the engine and commonly stay on for a few minutes after shutdown to manage heat soak, especially if the engine is up to temperature, ambient temps are warm, or the A/C was used. This is standard behavior across the VQ-powered Infinitis/Nissans  

For those who are struggling with this issue of the P0720 speed sensor code, i got the code in the end of august just after i had some work done like drive shaft, control arm, brake pads replacement. Anyways i got the code and did my research and got a refurbished part from ebay, turns out most likely that part was not programmed properly since my gear shift locked up in park, i took out the part and refunded it since im not gonna fix that part, i got in touch with the dealership and they said they can try to source a refurbished part because for my car it is discontinued, anyways the estimated quote is attached but it probably will increase with shop supplies (trans fluid, etc).

Had to repost because i forgot to sensor my name and number

Just got a 2017 q50 3.0 and was wondering what I can do to keep the turbos and everything running good it has 32k miles

Anyone know where I can get a hardware kit for an Injen cold air intake for a G37? (Mounting brackets, etc)

Found a used system on FB. Can’t seem to get an answer from Injen.

Side question: Anyone know what’s included? (Besides the intake, filter, and rubber slip connections)

Thanks for any info.

Hi All,
Just bought this new to me 2014 qx80 that was priced accordingly, I suppose due to all around denting 😳😂
Can this be fixed without replacing the door? Any input greatly appreciated!

What are the most common issues with VQ engines/body/electrical that you've encountered and post your solution's!

I have a 2018 Infiniti Q50 AWD 2.0t. When I slow down at a stop sign or when I stop completely. When I try to give it gas the engine responds but the car doesn’t for a few moments then suddenly jerks forward strongly. I was just wondering if yall have any ideas for why that’s happening. (58k miles btw)

I posted about my passenger side yesterday and had the same issue on the driver side so here’s the rundown…

Saw a YouTube video of someone drilling a hole through the floor and thought they were crazy but it’s the same way the AC drain is done by the factory on the passenger side. The driver side has the exact same indentation as the passenger side where the AC drains, so maybe the frame is made to be symmetrical and maybe that’s where the AC drains in a right side driver car in Europe (just a guess). Anyhow, I drilled a 1/16” hole to feed a piece of wire and crawled under the car to make sure it was feeding into an open cavity and no lines or wires were running underneath the floor. After confirming it was clear I used a step drill bit to drill an 11/16” hole, which is the size the 1/2” inner diameter grommet required from the packaging. After drilling I used some black sand paper to smooth the edges of the hole so the grommet doesn’t get cut somehow. Since the hole exposed raw steel, I used 2 coats of a Rustoleum paint and primer on the hole to prevent future rusting. The grommet fit perfectly.

Then I disconnected the negative battery terminal to prevent airbag deployment when removing the A frame pillar. I fed a 14/2 wire through the A pillar down the dash and routed it to the firewall. Then put the 1/2” tubing around the wire and used electrical tape to bind them, then pulled the wire to feed the tube (much easier than trying to feed the tubing itself). I used a 90 degree 3/8” brass barb to feed through the new grommet hole in the floor, and put a 2-3” piece of tubing on the bottom side of the elbow through the grommet to ensure the water drained downward past the grommet. Also used some RTV silicone on the grommet after it was fully set in place (overkill maybe, but easy to ensure no water gets in through the floor).

I cut the factory sunroof drain about halfway down the A pillar and connected the new tube with a 3/8” straight brass barb fitting and used a clamp on the factory side of the tubing since the new tubing felt very snug. I left the old tubing intact and tucked next to the new tube since there’s room, figured there was no point to pull it out entirely.

Tested it by poring a water bottle down the sunroof drain and all of the water drained quickly out of the bottom of the car. Hopefully this is the end of having wet carpets and a mildewy smell in the car after a rainstorm 😅

I have too say Turtle wax black ceramic spray is the best. My paint on my car isnt the greatest but it definitely made a difference.
