I'm new at this group.
I have a question. I am planning to buy the above car for my 18 yr old daughter. This car is supposed to be well maintained by the owner, asking $2800. Checked carfax no problems stated. The question is---is this too many miles?
Need a response right away please--- will look at this car tonight.
thanks
Did you purchase the J-30? If so you may not welcome my opinion, but here you go.
Similar to used Mercedes, BMWs, and Audis I have owned, my high mileage J-30 gives superb performance, but does require that I keep up with its service needs. You can read the common service issues in posts above.
The dealer service is excellent but you pay commensurately for it. I keep mine up with what I can and am willing to do myself, what an excellent local repair shop can do, and for anything we can't solve, take it to the dealer. Good luck!
Well, it's time. I gotta sell my 1997 J30. (The third child demands that I get a minivan.) The J30 is in great condition and looks very nice. It has the light green, or pewter, exterior. Not a weird green....a little beige. (The back end is beginning to sway a bit. I hope the struts aren't going out.)
Anyway, it has 63.5k miles on it. What should be my asking price to individuals (not to trade in)? Edmunds, Kbb, etc. are saying around $5K. But, that seems very low.
If anyone knows someone who loves the J30 as much as I do, let me know. I live in Kansas City.
Two problems I have is that even though the AC works - it's not really cold & has a humid feel when on. I took it to the dealer & the 134a was only down one pound, so they topped it up , but it did not make any difference. Anyone have any ideas...
The second problem is that between 50 & 80 Km's it has a vibration rumble. It seems to go away as you go faster.
I've had it in two different shops & they seemed to be stumped. Anyone heard of this. Any info will be a help.
Other than this, the car runs great ....

They have step-by step illustrated instructions on how to get the unit out, they will fix it for a decent price, and get it back to you quick. I had them fix mine and two years later it's working fine.

Notes that were different for me: I did not find it necessary to unplug the cruise control switch. Nor did I need to clean or disassemble the dimmer switch - in my case, it turned out the white plug that goes into the switch assembly was the culprit.
I took out the plug, and found that when fully inserted, the interior lights stayed on full regardless of the dimmer, while when the plug was pulled slightly out, the dimmer functioned correctly - good enough for me - we'll see how it holds up...
I have 1995 Infiniti J30 and the headlights on the passenger side will not work on high or low beam . I have check the fuses and bulbs all is good . So any ideals on what it wrong with the car . Thanks
Regards,
Rick
Thank you!

Good luck - Rick
Thanks Rick!
I have the same experience, and have gotten in the habit of removing my keys each time i get out.
Although I'm prepared to live with this, does anyone know why this happens or what the cure is?
Thanks Rick
My J30 is doing the same thing, once it warms up some electrical issues start happening. Its related to my breaks I think, when I tap them my lights dim on the inside and out. It eventually dies on me and I see a check engine sensor (which has been on for the last 15,000 miles probably although its been running EXCELLENT...) I also see my airbag light, seatbelt light, and ABS light. This has happened about 6 times in the last week. Sometimes it will stutter and the gas pedal is very non-responsive (which makes me think it could be a fuel filter possibly). After it dies on me, it is VERY VERY hard to start.
Does anyone have any useful knowledge???
I've got a 94 J30, under 100K miles. I ran some errands yesterday, and the car ran great. Parked it in the garage, now it won't start.
My neighbor came over and diagnosed the problem as some kind of fuel pickup issue. He tested all the fuses, and everything tested at 12V. Then, everything started getting complicated. After ripping all the panels out of the trunk, he uncovered the tank. Evidently, the fuel pump relay is working fine, because turning on the ignition causes gas to move. So cool.
He wants to start testing sensors, but we're not sure where to find them. The one he's specifically asking about is the camshaft sensor (I think), and then I'm sure he'll be asking about the locations of other ones. You guys have a better idea of what to look at, I think.
Anyway, where is the camshaft/crankshaft sensor located?
Oh, and Happy New Year!
First, Congrats! I own a pearl white 97 j30t and yes the windshield defroster vent is popping up and because of the location (windshield vs dash) you can't get over it to apply pressure and have yet to pop them back in. I feel your pain. I'm at 112K miles and have not changed the timing belt and that worries me alot. I have had only to problems with mine (other than the dash vents) and fixed one today. It was the rattle of the right rear 6x9 speaker. I removed it (by the way, the rear speakers have their own on-board amps) and glued the center cone dust cover back to the main cone with thick cyanoacrylate (super glue). And the Bose system is now back and sounds clean. The other is the remote and door switch trunk lock. It moves but doesn't travel far enough to unlatch any more. Still investigating this one. Well you may have these problems to so be surprised :surprise: . Just enjoy driving again like I do but only when I drive my J :shades: . Oh yeah, I'm putting on the 2007 G35 OEM 17" five spokes alloys with GY eagle RSAs as soon as UPS shows up. Found them on eBay. So I'll also be screaming soon.
Thanks you
I have a 1994 Infiniti J30. Its been a great car for the 5 years that i have had it. i bought it with 160K miles on it and now am at 220K. These one of the most maintenance friendly car you can find. I did get the radiator and water pump changed at 200K.
Since Dec 07 its being used less and less....i had a son....and bought a new FX35.
I am now looking to sell it out. Its been a great car and someone looking to use it to drive around or ever for parts will appreciate the "No Dings" nature of my Infi.
