Recently got a QX70 under the hood is really dirty and I would really like to brighten it up, is there any master hose sets like these that fit the QX70? Do some fit since they’re the same engine, or not since their body is different? Thanks for the help

I’m sitting at around 4900-5000 miles on mine and the lowest I’ve seen besides mine is 11k miles 🤷🏻‍♂️🤫

I have a 2014 Infiniti Q50 and I’ve had it for about 10 years. I recently had to replace a screen because it went out. I decided to upgrade the tech to CarPlay through a company that is known for replacing outdated tech in older cars. The new systems worked well for a little over a month and the top screen started to flicker. The next thing I know, both screens went black. I took the car back to the shop I had the tech put in and they took the DCU, both screens, and the radio (the entire middle section). They sent it to their factory and everything was said to be working fine. They are sending the parts back to install them again, suspecting something is wrong with the car. I had a test done and my electrical is fine. I also noticed a slight rattling sound and when I touched two of the chords in the screen section, that sound stopped. I’ve heard it before and I just assumed I dropped something on the floor that was rolling around or my phone holder was loose. What else could be causing this issue the screen issue? I suspect it has something to do with how it was installed. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

What are your thoughts on the quote my boss received for repairing the VVEL system on his 2020 Infiniti QX80?

This is a repair shop in Austin, TX

We feel this an intentional high quote for a job they don’t want to do. Anyone else had these repairs?

If anyone can help me with my Q50 not starting I would be very appreciative.

My 2012 FX50S has 137k miles and I just dropped $11.7k on repairs and maintenance.

It was running fine but had a long list of things to check or resolve. The most costly was replacing one of the cats, over $5k alone.

I wrestled with what do to. I had a 2026 QX60 loaner and it had all the new tech. The turbo 4, however… compared to the 5.0… I mean there is no comparison.

So I accepted that the FX is still my favorite car, and paid the stealership. It’s now mechanically dialed (again) and everything works. It’s fast AF and still so fun to drive.

What would you have done?

Anyone else keeping a V8 FX alive at any cost just because nothing like it still exists?

—-

Last time I posted about my FX, I was surprised at how little was known about these. A fact sheet for the curious.

- Based on the Nissan FM (front midship) rear wheel drive platform shared with the GT-R, Skyline, Z, G models (not a Murano)
- 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 w/390 hp (VK50VE - other than the FX50 / QX70 5.0, was only ever used in actual Nissan race cars)
- Variable valve timing
- 7-speed auto
- Magnesium paddle shifters
- Rev matching
- Big brake kit (BBK)
- Rear active steering
- Sport seats with adjustable bolstering
- Forward collision warning
- Intelligent brake assist
- Lane departure warning and prevention
- Adaptive headlights (turn with steering wheel)
- Bose 11-speaker system with 2 subs in spare wheel

ETA: lots of questions and comments about the $11k total, so adding some details. I live in an extremely HCOL area, where a teriyaki bowl is $25 and gas is often $6/gal for premium. I use the dealer because they offer a premium overall experience and it’s worth it to me. The independent guys are a little cheaper, but not much, not around here.

New starter and various gaskets - $1900 installed
New washer fluid reservoir - $900 installed
New cat - $5600 installed
Front brake job - $900
Brake fluid flush - $500
In-cabin filter - $200
New lower radiator hose and cap - $600

Currently driving a Q70 diesel but need something with a bit more space for a double buggy and baby stuff. Does anyone drive a QX70 and is the change worth it?

2012 infiniti ex35 154k miles original codes were p0024 p0014 changed camshaft sensors and vvt solenoids always change oil at 3k-3500 never had any drivability issues or anything always been normal. i changed bank 1 and 2 vtc covers took the p0024 code away and p0014 code had the coolant hose and bank 1 airbox off and battery for 2 days put everything back together started up then took for 10 minute drive came back ran codes and got these codes never had before. dont have any weird noises or anything drives perfect. what could it be for these codes?

I bought a lifetime oil change package at the Seehy Chantilly dealership for my Infiniti and now with the dealership closed I was told by a different dealership that I’m SOL.

Has anyone has any luck getting this package transferred to a different dealership in the NOVA area?

Quick back story: my 08 G35 was broken into a couple of months ago through moonroof, replaced that, but resulting broken glass remnants remained around track of moonroof (tried to clear it all) and yesterday, a piece got wedged into it and it will not close (attempts to, engages pinch protection, then retracts open). Have tried more compressed air, fishing out with long, thin pokey things, to no avail. If I can’t get it unstuck, can I access by removing the headliner or other method? Weird scenario but hoping someone else has experience.

I can’t find anything cheap and easy but ik a muffler delete will sound good and that’s the sound I want, I’ve seen some videos online. Any help will be great, thanks guys!
