^ yeah, for some its marriage first, either or, those two very, but none the less, its a major step, hahaha

 

^lol!!! I'm sorry, just had to point that out.

I took the car to Nissan where they found out I have warranty until August 12th this year. I quickly showed them the gauge and they said there is nothing wrong with it, all Infinities have the gauge showing minimal temperatures. As much as hearing it from Nissan comforts me, its still very hard to believe....

I also showed them the AC, and they said I can book an appointment, and have it checked for 80USD, and they will quote me a price how much it costs for a fix. They said its most likely some Micro filter, or the lack of Freon, etc. However, they insist on having the car for 3 days, as they claim the list for AC repair is long as the Great Wall of China.... which makes sense as Summer just hit us hard with Temps now in the 50s C.

I am still looking for the best window tint out there. Any comments? I found so far V-Kool, 3M, LLumar and Solar Gard. I park the car outside in front of the office, and the sun is quite aggressive here and I am worried about interior fading, etc. Today I was driving for 2 hours in a row around Dubai, and just before getting out of the car, I touched the windshield from inside, and it nearly burned my fingers. And that is with AC blowing kind of cold all the time, as all passengers were comfortable.

I found a shop where they sell the KnN Air filters, but I am hesitant on getting it for the simple reason, that I live in the middle of the desert. And it is no Cali/Arizona desert, but a Sand Dune kind of desert like Sahara with lots of sand all over the air. Do you think a KnN kind of Open Air filter is a good idea in such conditions?

Thanks

Trust me, Phoenix gets huge rolling dust storms rolling in from the south prior to monsoons all the time, and always when I'm on my way to work lol. So far no issues, just have to keep on top of cleaning the filter (easy btw, just wash it, let it dry, and oil it up). However, paper filters always have the best filtration... but honestly you'd be fine with an intake.

As for tint, as long as it's UV blocking, the brand doesn't really matter. UV's the largest cause of dash fading, though the heat will cause the dash to warp and such. Best way to fight that is to keep it garaged of course. After the tint, a windshield blocker's a good way to fight it while at work. Before my last windshield busted, it was actually tinted and man did it make a HUGE difference. :cough not legal: It was only about 5% blocking if that, but it still helped.

 

Nice G...now take that f****r out and pick some chicks up at Cyclone. Been there done that got the doctor bill....

 

Thanks for the tips, I will get the tint this week if all goes well. I was driving outside today again, and the heat in unbearable.

Another thing came to my mind. The car has no floormats, and I am worried about getting the carpet dirty. Any place I can find the original Infiniti floor mats?

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks, I have seen that, but this is what worries me:

I would prefer to have the stock look, and it includes the Infiniti logo on it.

By the way, I just found out that my car was probably equipped with the Sport package, as I have the Drilled metal pedals, and the 7 spoke 18inch rims. This would immediately explain the road noise, the hard suspensions could cause that.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just wanted to post back with a few pictures. We drove to Abu Dhabi this past weekend, and took a few pictures on the way.

Anyways, I am still interested in the Stock floor mat and the best tint possibilities.

This tuesday I will take the car to Nissan for an AC checkup, and to have my temp gauge tested and fixed. I called them today (Sunday is a working day here) and they already booked me for two days later which is impressive. What is not so impressive is that I need to leave my car there for 2-4 days

Well, enough said, here are the promised pictures, cheers

!!! Why did you drive your car on the beach? haha.

 

The sand there isn't as deep as our beaches. Sorry for the crap link bence.

 

Yepp, sand wasnt deep at all, and for the picture, it was worth it for me.

Lots of people drive their cars to the beach and camp out next to it, which is what we did, but probably for the last time, as getting in from the beach to the car does mess it up a bit inside.

Capitol G35, you have your G down in Somalia, or you have it back home? This is assuming you aren't from Somalia.....

I am dying to find the floor mats, someone please help

Thanks,

Ben

 

congrats and g/l with all.

sky is the limit..

 

3M and Solar Gard tint are good...
