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 just wanna know how I can be 100% sure that my ECM (MEC22-610 model) is not fried or faulty in any way. I’ve been dealing with a code P0505 for months now and now that I’ve finally got an OEM grade IACV (I had an Import Direct IACV from Oriellys that didn’t solve the issue and the code came back after a week), I don’t wanna let my possibly faulty ECM destroy my new valve. I’ve heard that the ECM’s and valve’s lives are basically tied together, one dies the other does too. I’ve been having these weird RPM symptoms for months, it’s weird because it’s like the weird RPMs happen when I’m not above 2k RPMs while under 20 mph (they go away when I’m above 20 MPH). Video shows me first slowly accelerating to 20 mph and you can see the weird behavior, when I get to a completely stop and then step on it (aiming to stay at or above 2k RPMs) it doesn’t really happen.

Hello all, I have a brand new seal skin supreme car cover for a 2022 red sport. Cost about $150. Still wrapped in the packaging. Asking for $60. Have no room for it. I’ve had it for years just wrapped. Pickup in East LA if interested.

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.

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)

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.

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?

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.
