The TL is FWD. Above everything else I couldn't get past that with the TL.
FWIWs, I drove a BMW 328i, a Cadillac CTS, a Lexus IS350, the G35, an Audi A4, an Acura TL and a Saab 9-3 Aero in the same weekend.
It should be obvious by now that I chose the Infiniti.
I don't think I'll be replacing the tires before 35K miles, so I have a bit of time, just wondering what the pulse was out here regarding tires...
I live in Texas and I didnt like the handling of the stock Bridgestones in wet weather. I went with goodyear Eagle F1 high performance all-season and am pleased with their performance.
Thanks for the input guys.
Most importantly... my daughter and I were unharmed and the car is repairable.
While in for repairs, I have a rental... the only car Enterprise had at the time... a 2007 Dodge Charger.
What a POS!!!
Granted, it's a base model and I could buy two of them for the cost of my G35, but I hate it.
It's RWD with gawd awful Goodyear Integrity tires with 20,000 miles on them. This car gets stuck in the rain, the traction control is a blinking light letting you know the wheels are spinning, the blinker is in the wrong spot, the body roll is ridiculous and it has NO power at all.
I cannot WAIT to get my G back.
I appreciate it even more now that I've been in something different for a few days.
Battery? ALternator? Short?
If it is a short, it would be located at the radio side.
Other than that, I'd be guessing.
Good luck with the dealer, and let us know when you find the cause.
Now she's gonna want to drive it all the time. LOL
1gr8cpa, Was this problem ever resolved on your car?
In the stores, somehow the parts books all have the wrong size filter listed (11"x6.625"). The correct dimensions of the filter are actually 7.125 x 6.625. And there are two of them of course (dual intake).
I've been to and called a bunch of stores including AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Tires Plus and even looked online. Everyone who worked in these stores was stumped when I asked them for help. Many tried to cross reference the OEM part # but had little luck. The only filter they or I could come up with is a lifetime washable K&N High-Flow for around $50 each.
I called the parts department at the Infiniti dealership and they want $32 each. I just want to find a basic disposable Fram/Purelator/Some-other-brand air filer that costs the typical $8-$12 dollars.
Any help is appreciated.
They have little bumps on them. The buttons adjust the contract, and the various "views".
He takes very good care of the G35Driver members.
Using higher octane than your car needs is a waste of money. And yes, mixing 91 and 86 half and half will yield approximately 88.5. If your car requires regular, anything up to approximately 89 octane is good. Many service stations have only 2 tanks, but dispense 3 grades. They get mid-grade by mixing regular and super in the mid-grade pump, and there are no problems

It sounds as if you are thinking about math. You have to remember that this is chemistry, not match. Do a Google search. You will find that mixing different octane levels will produce some interesting results. But I will correct one point. Back in the day when there was LEADED fuel mixing two levels could produce higher octane levels but with UNLEADED it is closer to an average but still higher than what you would expect.
I'm a filter distributor and I'm trying to solve this issue.
Do you own a coupe or sedan?
Does you G35 has an eng designator VQ35DE (V35) or VQ35HR (V36)?
If I send you a free Air Filter could you take pictures of the installation process?
Thanks,
Jorge.
How are you doing? Will definitely help you with your Air Filter. I need to ask you few questions to be in the same page.
The air filter you are trying to get is square, right?
and the one the dealer wants to sell you is rectangular, right?
If you could send me a picture of it, right on the car will help me a lot. Will definitely help you with to get your filter as soon as i solve this issue.
you can email me at jfernandez@forecastparts.com
Thanks,
Jorge Fernandez
I would tell you to find an X because that car is like a road going snowmobile :} :shades:
Thanks for any help!
Thanks
Went from 90 to 140 pretty quickly.
Hope you didnt do your 140 on the pike!
