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

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The window motors in the Maxima have been replaced by an auto elec, after Nissan charged me $200 just to look at the car.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?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
