Has any one have any problems like this and what is the solution???.
If this isn't it, you need to look for some other battery drain such as a trunk light remaining on.
When you figure probably 6 or 7 each were sold in TX, FL and CA, no one else in the rest of the country even bought one. Yikes!
Do you think the M45 is siphoning buyers who might otherwise be interested in the Q45? Or is the biggest issue the advertising. I don't ever see Infiniti advertising anything these days, I don't think.
That is sad. The Q seems like a decent car -- roomy and full of techno gadgets available in all other cars in this class.
I see Infiniti M ads all over the place.
You have to wonder though, with Q sales that low why do they bother making them? Or at least, why not support their supposed "flagship".
I haven't seen any advertising for it either. Maybe its because they are planning a redesign for 2008.
Here is a link to the sales info if you're interested -

I'm afraid I can't answer your question about the lights, but was wondering if you could perhaps give me some advice on how to do the pads and rotors?
I have not done this before and was looking for some tips if you have them available.
Thanks for any help you might offer!
NOW: All new plugs, ($550 minor tuneup) and still have dead miss.
QUESTION: do these coil pack / rubber boot assemblies actually absorb oil, causing the plug to short? It seems to me they are designed to REPEL oil?
Prior to this, this car was always dealer serviced (in another state)...
Thanks
You can test the injectors for resistance and determine if theyre bad. Coil packs RARELY FAIL on the Q..

read that see what you can come up with. IF you like, print it out and give it to your "mechanic" and have them do that...
Unfortunate how people think the dealers always know everything about the car.
Thanks!
I managed to convince myself to embark in doing my chain guides myself. I've done the driver side guides but I'm having trouble with the passenger side. I removed the old tension guide but having serious difficulty installing the new one. I just can't get it in there. Is there any trick in getting it into place? Also, I have a hard time getting the driver side slack side guide in once I removed the tensioner...the chain was very tight. I eventually got it in by removing the water pump. My concern is not to repeat the same for the passenger side slack guide. What are the tricks in getting these guides in?
Please help!
I need to know how to get the passenger side guides in. How should I go about doing it?
Thanks everyone!
is it okay to use coil packs from a 1996 Q45t on a 1992 Q45? I noticed that the coil pack plugs won't fit exactly but with some trimming on the edges on the coil packs itself, it fit. Is there anything I should be concerned about? I haven't put them in, I just tried one. Please advise before I install them all.
Thanks!
For example, I was searching for shock absorbers for this model, and I didn't find anyone on the web who sold them. What would happen if I needed to change them? I was thinking that this could also apply to many other parts. And I live on a small island and I rarely see this model car, so if I can't find a part on the web, it'll be even more difficult finding it here.
My main concern is maintenance. WIll I be able to afford it? I'm comparing this to the cost of a '98 Lexus ES300 (my current car).
Thanks for any help.
So my guess is you won't get quite the reliability from the Q, but you get a lot more of a "driver's car". If the '02 is in good shape that's a fantastic price. (I thought my deal was good, but yours is outstanding.) Since Infiniti's have been doing well in recent years (esp. the G and now the M) I would imagine that parts will continue to be available without a problem
Where do you buy your parts for your Infiniti? I searched in google, yahoo, and even ebay and I didn't find anyone selling shocks for the 2002 q45. My main concern is that when/if something breaks, I won't find the part. Is there a Nissan equivalent for the q45 (ie. ES300 to Camry)?
Is this a high maintenance car? For example, if I were to find a BMW 7-series (or a high-end MB) for a great price I wouldn't buy it because I'll go bankrupt maintaining it. Is this the case with the Q45?
Thanks again.
I don't consider it a high maintainance car. If I did I wouldn't have bought a second one! I suspect it's in-between the Lexus and BMW in terms of reliabilility and cost of ownership.
I just want to buy them and take the car to an independent mechanic.
Thanks.
I never thought I would ever have a collision with my 97'Q45,but my wife did. She was hit dead center by a 03 Ford pickup truck. He smashed her grill,left side fender and hood ($4500 damage). The real message here is that there was no injury and how well the Q45 survived the crash!Just like a Tank. I hope they still build them like that.

Is this a normal? I only have 93,000 on it. I replaced the transmission at 80,000. My love is costing me dearly.
My sister bought the exact car but racked up the miles quickly. Same thing happened to hers, just earlier.
Does anyone know if there were any recalls?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The transmission will have no problem at 80,000 miles unless it was abused or not properly maintained.
No mechanical exchange of ATF along with filter replacement and no auxiliary ATF cooler would qualify as abuse.
thanks

This does not look promising. Any help would be appreciated.
Not easy at all, sorry. Need fenders, too, and then the side trim won't match.
92 Q45 Front Bumper and hood question
Ebay would probably be your best source for finding the CD cartridge. I bought a brand new Clarion 6 disc CD player for my car last year and in searching I saw plenty of Sony 10 disc players. They are usually used and I would buy a whole unit just to get the cartridge. They usually sell pretty cheap.
Good luck - hope we can help.
