Yeah who knew?  Mot me. But the mechanic at Tokyo Prestige was straight onto it. Whipped the wheel off, smeared a small amount of grease on the mounting surface, reassembled with wheel nuts done nice

INFINITI'S ARE ASSEMBLED IN THE USA, BUT THE PARTS ARE MADE IN JAPAN. YANKS DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD CARS FOR SHIT, THE JAPANESE ARE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

We need to start a thread about common problems so we are aware of them when they arise.

Does any one know of any common problems with these vehicles?? E.G. TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, A/C, ELECTRONICS ......

I Don't know if you guys have had the problem, but i have read forums in the U.S. where oil consumption with some g35 and mostly 6mt, seems to be a real issue. Infinity if pushed, has replaced engines.

Does anyone know for sure if the g35 is made in Japan or the U.S. because i was told this was a U.S. problem?

You will need to replace your window electric motor available from Nissan @ approx $350

I've had to replace both now

They also seem to have issues with clicking rear wheels

Welcome.

lol, nah, I didn't have anything like that. But hey, as long as it works, and it seems it works even better now, haha. My range isn't very long, so wouldn't mind the double...

What you mean clicking rear wheels? What is the actual problem?

I am having problems again with my central locking and power window both on the driver's side. The auto electrician who knows the V35 repacked the power window motor and aligned the gears and it worked for a while but has now shit itself again.

Any clues why both have gone - do they use the same controller? Are the motors for both the same as the 350Z?

The window is locked in the up position and it interfers with the top moulding when closed because the release memory for the window to open and close the door is also not operating. Any clues as to what's happening??

Unfortunately seems to be quite a common problem. A few of the 350z guys have reconditioned the power window motor but also didn't last long so they just go out and buy new motors. Best price I've seen is $500 for both passanger and drivers side. Not sure why it would interfere with the central locking though.

I've been searching for info on V35's to replace my ageing POS 1994 Maxima.

Window failure in a Nissan again! I thought they fixed this problem, how the hell do they manage to replicate it again? :P

The window motors in the Maxima have been replaced by an auto elec, after Nissan charged me $200 just to look at the car. All up has cost me $500+ and they still don't work!

The back rear window is chocked up with wood, which is very stylish.

The front windows would not come back up so I reversed the polarity and used the door entry keypad to wind them back up then disconnect the power all together.

Basically I don't need to deal with this f**king bullshit again in another Nissan.

Anyone actually had someone fix the windows in the V35 and have them stay fixed before I even think about buying a V35?

Is the same problem in R33/34s or just the V35?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
