poping sound could be the starter solenoid trying to spin the starter but since not enough power it cant, but then u started it so iono, if ur car is fairly older the enigne still makes noise from the belts and stuff, and if u rev it , should hear the exhuast. As far as adding battery fluid ha , iono if the battery u have maintence free or not but yea.. So let us know how the stealership diagnosis it, im curious to find out.

well went in today, and i guess me and my dad held our temper pretty well this time, i went in and they said didnt have my name on the list for appointment and im like WTF? but calmly and then they are like yeah we'll get your car in asap after the rest of the cars, so go into the little infiniti of scottsdale booth room thingy and talked with the guy and he was trying to be an ******* about "oh since you didn't make an appointment i dont have any loaner cars for you" my dad got pissed and told him to check again, few minutes later "oh they put your name backwards" and gave us a key for the newer g35 sedan and then started making it sound like i don't have anything covered when im pretty sure i got everything.

so later on and they said it,
its the battery i guess, getting new battery and car should be done tomorrow. and they are replacing my driver side bose speaker, but the factory warranty is already gone to replace my ripped drivers seat and the passenger side window moldings cant be fixed i guess..

like 160 bucks or something for new battery and bose speaker and car wash lol.

so i guess you guys should just disconnect your battery to make our car quiet LOL

i didn't get to drive it home, but from being in the passenger seat, it takes off like a diesel, but on the highway..oh man that baby pulls man, we were going like 55mph and i told my dad to step on it and i looked at the gauge and it hit 100mph in like 3-4 seconds and the ride was VERY smooth compared to the our coupes

im driving it to class tomorrow though

Oh so you would give a +1 to ez lube in Avondale for the oil change? Or do you think we should stay away? I am glad I didn't get my oil changed there and we could use your car as a test subject.....JK. Hey $20 bucks for an oil change is not bad I paid double at Peoria Infiniti, but free water, starbucks and fruit at the dealer.

Anyways I hate driving my coupe because the sedan is fun to drive. So far everyone has agreed that the sedan feels faster.

well, i don't really want to blame it on them, but if you're in a hurry and don't want to go too far, definitely hit them up you know? can't really blame them because they were just doing their thing and i should have replaced the battery a long time ago, i didn't realize that the battery been there since 2004 LOL

so you're the semi-buff guy i was talking to right? but i left to take the lady to go eat across the street?

but at ez-lube they also hooked up bbq which i didn't eat and water and soda and free carwash, so it's almost equivalent coming from a small shop like that, but i'm going to go synthetic next oil change

the sedan...i guess loses it's sporty-ness most noticably by the seats which are more like a "cup" that holds you like a bucket seat and taking off like a diesel lol but they both feel "solid"

Yeah. you going friday night? Ron said there is a meet friday. Yeah I talked to you for a second and you left to go eat. I will bring my coupe out friday so you can see it if you go. I am all stock on that one. Stillen intake only so far. My sedan had G37 wheels I took them off to put on my coupe, but I need to buy wheel spacers. Joker recommended 25mm all around so I think I will go that route. anyways see ya friday night if you go.

I live in Surprise AZ. Anyways my wife hates going to car stuff. Thinks its a guy bonding thing. Which I don't blame her, she would be bored just like if I was forced to go shopping at the mall with her.


Glad it was just the battery if you need to do any other things to your car you should hit up John(sirboostalot) he drove the Corvette zo6 to the ex lube last week. He can do mostly anything on our cars, from headers to lowering. see you friday I will introduce you guys.
