I have a 2002 I35 with sport/premium pkg. Has 56,000 miles on it. I baby the car and bought it certified in Oct 06 with 41,000 on it. Now that it is getting hot out, when I first turn the A/C on, it really smells moldy and gross for about a minute or two. I dont run the A/C much. Any ideas to what could be causing this?
Also, the front passenger window will not go up under "auto" mode. Anyone know the fix? If I lightly hold it, the window goes up fine.
Otherwise, I have been very happy with the car. Although I had wind noise from the back doors like many others when I got it - put some aftermarket stripping around the seals and seems to have done the trick.
Many cars suffer from this, some very expensive ones. But do the cleaning treatment and then remember to run some heat every couple days and I bet it'll improve.

I got these...Neo - Wedge LED Instrument Panel Bulbs Type B, for a 2001 I30. I had to remove the panel below the clock ( which includes two air ducts), with thin screw driver, then unscrew the 2 screws holding the clock to the dash, and pull the unit holding th clock, then turn over the clock, and unscrew the two bulbs. Replaced the bulbs one at a time, making sure they lit, and had correct polarity (if in backwords, they won't lite, so rotate them 180 degrees and they should lite), then put everything back in the order removed. The bulbs cost $2.99 ea, plus shiping, for total under $10. They work great. I got the superwhite.
Hope this helps.
I would have thought as long as I hold the open or close button, the sunroof would keep moving. Is this behaviour normal, or should I contact the dealer where I purchased it?
Thanks in advance!
1)Your Check Engine Light (CEL) will come on even if you don't completely close the gas cap. It is a closed pressurized system.
2)It is a Safety Hazard to pump gas while the car is running. You could blow up the place.
3)You are wasting gas.
The good news is the CEL should reset itself after awhile.
If the CEL starts flashing or just does not go out in a few days, take it to the dealer.

My old Mazda 626 came with Turanzas; they were noisy but had good stick and lasted 50,000 miles. The local Infiniti store recommends the Potenzas, but they're pricey.
I did replace the 215-55/17s with 225-55/17s (one size larger) to have a wider footprint. The Michelin 225's are closer in diameter to the Turanza's than the 215 Michelins.
I got them at Discount Tire Centers since Costco would not install them on my car.
I was quite surprised that the factory Turanza's lasted for 57,000 miles.
Happy Driving.
I have a 2002 I35 - I live in the Northeast and now that it is getting cold, if I try playing a CD while the vehicle is cold (like first thing in the morning) it skips like crazy. If you are patient (and I mean really patient) it gets better in a few minutes. However, I rarely do this because its too maddening. Once the car is warm, or after a cd runs for a bit, it doesnt seem to be an issue. Ejecting a CD and reloading does not help.
Anyone have any ideas or experience this same problem? It doesnt make any sense to me.
Thanks...
A dealership software update might also sound plausible. Ask the dealer if there is a service bulletin for this issue..
Occasionally, when I apply the brakes my foot hits the gas pedal at the same time. This causes acceleration/deceleration at the same time, a dangerous situation.
When I realize what's happening I don't know how to react. I want to slow down but am reluctant to take my foot off the brake. And I can't relocate my foot more squarely on the brake without releasing brake pressure.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem with the I35? I've driven many cars over 35 years and never experienced this befotre.

1) Get a good CD lens cleaner (the kind with brushes) and use it periodically.
2) When it's cold, I eject a CD and hold it in front of the heater vent above the CD player and blow hot air on it for ~15 seconds. I reinsert the CD and wait for a minute or two to warm up the internals of the CD player mechanism, and the CDs play fine after that. My guess is that the CD changer is intolerant to cold. If it's really cold, I sometimes have to do this operation twice.
I've noticed that some CDs are more susceptible to this problem (for example, home-burned CDs).
Good luck, Strat Dog
my car (24000 miles) has been recently making louder noise when idling, the sound is something like "duh-duh-duh.... " in faster frequency. In normal driving, it can be heard but not quite clear, it may because of road and wind noise overwriting the sound a little bit.
Another thing is when I park on driveway (not level) to start the engine, the ignition sounds louder. So I thought something may happen to engine mount and it's getting loose.
I have just visited the local infiniti dealer (only one here in Calagry AB) and they run some diagnostic and said two fuel adopters need to be replaced. It causes about Canadian $660 plus $130 diagnostic fee which I already paid this morning. So total is $790 to fix this problem (I am not sure it going to fix). I will have to go back to the dealer next Monday for replacing the adopters when order arrives.
So what's the fuel adaptor is? Could someone give me some lesson. Thanks lot!
There is a whining sound coming from the belt area. Happens at all RPM's and can be neard on the radio on off stations. To me it sounds like the alternator is on its last legs, or a bad ground, but I haven't taken it to the garage yet.
The brakes are nice, but the motor shakes a little when its at a near stop.. The idle smooths out once the car is fully stopped.. This happens at the same RPM/mileage rregardless of where I am.
The peddle has a little play in it that makes the throttle feel jerky like there is a 1/2 inch of float when I slowly step into it, to when the power is applied.. A slight jerk can be felt.
Other than that the car is immaculate and looks to be a nice cruise for a few years.
Thanks

I'm pretty clueless on all of that stuff, so I'd just find a competent Nissan mechanic who has worked on several Maximas. (the I35/I30 is just a carbon copy of the Maxima with higher levels of equipment)
On another note, I did find a good set of replacement tires for the OEM Turanzas- I ended up putting a set of Michelin Primacy MXV4s on it and the ride is a bit quieter now, plus the new tires are guaranteed to last 60K miles (Treadwear rating of 620) The ride is a bit smoother too- the OEM Turanzas were loud and noisy as well.
Just throwing out ideas here.. I'm not very experienced w/ diagnosing problems..
Have you gotten any result from your dealer?
I am going to bring my car IN MONDAY OR TUESDAY. FORTUNATELY THE CAR IS STILL IN WARRANTY AT 95000 MILES. bless EXTENDED WARRANTY.
My dealer is in no Miami warren Henry where are you?
My Infinity 2004 I35 dash SLIP, TCS OFF, ABS lights are ON after a left-front wreck. Car has less than 16000 miles on it. I replace the complete front left suspension system,arm and weel. How could I reset all or some of these lights or make the TCS system work again? Please help! Thank you!
My car now has 98K mile. It got changed spark plugs, front O2 sensor, belts, synthetic motor oil. I also installed an aftermaket chip at intake sensor to optimize engine mode. Now, its gas pedal is really responsive, feel like it stick to my foot at all time. Anytime I put a litle gas, the engine whines a little like an almost mute jet engine sound and the car thrust foward with so much confidence. I once drag raced with a bimmer from a stop light and cut him off before enter to highway. All I say is keep do an extra maintenance on this car and you will love to drive it.
Thanks,
Heads up with that chip mode you installed. Last I heard there wasn't one outside of the "Ebay" mod that does nothing but trick the computer to tuning the car for a colder mix. (Bad MPG's)
Installing the chip is just as simple as clipping onto two wires of an intake temperature sensor. However do not get the wrong wires since it may damage your car ECU. I35 has intake temperature sensor and mass air sensor in the same location so you have to find out which wires are the right ones. It's best to get a mechanic to do it.
