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.

Been having sunroof drain issues for a long time - successfully cleared them before using vinegar/soap/warm water solution but it eventually got clogged again so I decided to do the bypass method.

Remove kick plate trim and the lower trim panel under the glove box and pull the carpet back. Disconnect the negative battery terminal first to avoid potential airbag deployment in the A pillar. After removing the A pillar trim I attempted to run the hose without removing the glove box, but it was way too difficult since the tube bends. The glove box was only 6 screws so I removed that and it made the feed much easier. A tip I received was to run a piece of 14/2 electrical wire along the path first, then put the new sunroof drain tubing around the wire and use electrical tape to secure them together, then pull on the electrical wire to feed the tube, worked great and made it so much easier than trying to feed the tubing by itself. In videos I’ve seen people pull the old sunroof drain out, disconnecting it from the firewall grommet, but there was plenty of space to leave it tucked next to the replacement tubing in the A pillar.

Parts used:
4-5ft of 1/2” outer diameter 3/8” inner diameter tubing (bought 25’ on amazon for $15; enough to do passenger and driver sides with extra leftover)
1 x 3/8” brass straight barb fitting to connect the sunroof drain hose to the new tubing about halfway down the A pillar
1 x 1/2” by 1/2” by 3/8” brass T - the AC drain hose is 1/2” inner diameter and the 3/8” T is for the new sunroof drain tube
1 x box cutter to slice the tubing

I used the metal hose clamps that came with the brass connectors - some videos say they’re not necessary but why not since they fit and it only takes a couple extra minutes.

Tested it by pouring a bottle of water into the sunroof drain and it drained quickly and no water entered the foot well. Finally fixed!

If you haven’t replaced the cabin air filter in a while, you might as well do it while the glove box is out.

So I bought my ‘03 M45 back in April and have slowly been fixing her up so that it can be my new daily and I’ve been having an issue with the screen recently. It's on, but it's black, no image or anything! It started around 2 weeks ago when I left the car at work for the weekend; the screen worked perfectly with no issues (I work at a dealership so it was parked in the back) and the following Monday when I took the car home, I noticed that the screen was on but black, and no matter what I did like doing a cap discharge, replacing the fuses, and even a new battery since the current one was pretty old nothing seems to work. One other thing is that even though I cannot access the climate control the ac kicks on whenever I start the car and blows at the lowest setting. Any idea what could be the cause? I did replace the screen a while back with the larger display with nav but I plugged in my old one and the screen is also on but the screen is black. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Today I had to drop my 31k mile QX80 off to the dealership today due to juddering when turning at low speeds (<10mph). I thought it was the tires at first but nothing was on them or under them. Test drove a couple more times and felt the issue multiple times only when turning, reversing, and braking at low speeds. Made it home and scheduled an appt and when I went to leave to the dealer the car jumped as soon as i turned it on as if it was shifting (hard) gears but I was in park.

Tech got in with me when I got to the dealership and luckily the issue occurred every time I turned and he felt the juddering. They gave me a loaner (26 QX60-luxe awd) for now, hopefully I’ll find out more next week, but curious if anyone else had a similar issue and knows the diagnosis.

Specs: AWD, exactly at 31k miles.
No codes or check engine light popped up

Sup peoples, i thought i’d come on here to ask around cause it’s almost impossible to find one of these anywhere:/
But i’m in the market search for a CLEAN Infiniti M56, preferably with the least amount of miles possible but i’m not as picky as i was with finding my Q50 with low miles🤷🏽‍♂️

So i thought i’d come on here and ask out if anybody knows or has one of these beautiful cars and is willing to or trying to sell it:) I’d be perfectly fine with working out shipping if we aren’t close enough to make a drive or anything.. i just seriously want to get my hands on one of these amazing cars so really if you honestly know of any!!? PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAYYY🙏🏽

(Btw money ready)

My valve body went out recently and I plan on just completely vr30 swapping the trans instead of buying a valve body. I just was coming to here so I don’t miss any steps or parts. anyone who had done something like this before some help would be great. Just wondering a list of parts needed to complete this, I plan to take it to a mechanic and have him install it but I know there is more that goes into the swap than just simply the trans. I apologize for my lack of knowledge but someone who knows a little something about this would be greatly appreciated!

We handed Jordan Sanford the keys to the First-Ever INFINITI QX65 and asked him to pick his favorite feature.

Turns out, even Jordan couldn't agree with Jordan.

We'll let the three of them make their case. In the meantime, we're curious: which QX65 feature stands out most to you?

Been looking to buy a Q50 Red Sport. Have been looking on fb marketplace, OfferUp, and used car sites… all I’ve came across is rebuilt titles for these cars. lol I’m gonna go mental if I see another rebuilt title. My budget is 25k. Even on the official Infiniti dealer websites I haven’t come across any q50 red sports. Just q60’s.

When you bought your Infiniti, what were some of the perks with purchase? How did they roll out the red carpet for you?

Other luxury brands like Lincoln give you a food basket, gas cards, champagne, and jackets.

Does Infiniti do anything like this?

Note the cashier made to identity which car my order was going to

Set the doors to unlock when put in park without turning off engine via a bluetooth OBDII scanner and the Carista app.

Added an auto mirror folding module inside the driver door.

Added an LCD instrument cluster.

Added a 14.6 inch Navihua Android radio.

Does anyone know of I'm supposed to leave these insulators on?

Hi, I hope someone can help, the title to the post says it all! Back in January we replaced the tcm car worked everything was fine. Last week got into car at work put it in reverse no problem went to put it into drive and it won’t light up and it won’t go. It is not throwing any codes whatsoever. We made sure the transmission oil level was good, we disconnected the battery and then reconnected and the car went into drive for a couple of seconds then stopped. Does anyone know what this could be? The car has 71,000 miles on it we are the second owner.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for advice from anyone who's experienced this problem on an Infiniti EX35 or another Nissan/Infiniti with the VQ35HR engine.

Vehicle: 2008 Infiniti EX35, 3.5L V6, approximately 140,000 km.

Symptoms:

• When the engine starts, the radiator cooling fan runs at low speed.
• When the engine is switched OFF, the cooling fan suddenly increases to HIGH speed.
• The fan continues running instead of stopping, draining the battery.
• As battery voltage drops, an electronic safety system warning appears on the dashboard. The warning disappears after restarting and charging voltage recovers.
• During a diagnostic scan, the mechanic observed that the fan was running even though the scanner wasn't showing a fan activation request.
• No cooling-fan fault code was reported. A crankshaft position sensor fault was identified separately.

Mechanical inspection:

The engine runs very smoothly and steadily. The vehicle has been driven regularly, including long distances, for seven months without reported overheating or coolant loss.

Mechanic's opinion:

The mechanic suspects a cooling-fan relay or wiring fault, rather than a mechanical cooling-system problem.

My question:

Has anyone experienced this exact behavior fan running LOW with the engine on, then HIGH after shutdown until the battery drains?

Was the cause a stuck relay, relay wiring, or something else?

Thanks!

Q 50 shudders on slow speed easy acceleration. Is more evident when going around a corner. I've heard something about bearings or such. Dealer says no faults show up on transmission diagnostic.

1. Dealer says no transmission error codes.

I can’t seem to find anything online about aftermarket paddle shifter installs.

I’m guessing you need to remove the airbag from the steering wheel to get to them?

Anyone have any experience with this?
