So I bought my 05 g35 coupe off a member here expecting it to have the oil consumption problem -- no big deal. Took my car into local Infiniti Dealership today to check for oil...after 1k miles and they came back 30 minutes later and said I need a new motor -- That easy??

So far, i am so impressed with Inifiniti! It's unbelievable how professional and helpful they've been to me up to this point. He said new motor would most likely be here MOnday (coming from sac town) and they'll toss me an FX45 or G35 Sedan to drive around....I'm going for the FX45

STOKEd! New motor...car has 28k miles....yahoooo

 

make sure and check when they install the new motor that they dont scratch and dent your engine bay, they did it too mine and its an eye sore! its nice knowing your G has a new heart and is broken in properly by only you!

 

My car is being under the test at the moment. It should complete 1K miles by this weekend and let's see how it turns out.

Hey congrads man....googleeee

JJ

 

yep ... good luck hope everything works out for ya

 

Yes, congrats on a painless experience. Mine was a 2.5yr battle, but finally got one. Had OC two years prior to TSB then took ~6mo after to finally get mine. Got played by two dealers during testing, but I finally won and finally approved.

Many OC threads here on the good/bad/do's/don'ts with these. Might want to check them out. my350Z has one as well (it's the same VQ as ours)

 

Interesting....ya it was 100% painless. I was absolutely 100% impressed with the service at the dealer here...

Anyone know Approx what the price of new factory clutch is?

 

you have the manual transmission right or automatic

 

Manual

 

I personally will not replace my clutch with factory, it chatters, not as much as aftermarket, but it does. And for the performance, not worth it.

 

So Two days later and they replaced my motor...so far so good...didn't end up replacing clutch (although I think they adjusted something or just put it back together differently because it's SOOOO much easier to drive now and it chatters about half as much - I love it!)

TWO THUMBS UP TO BEAVERTON INFINITI here in OREGON.....Matt the service writer took super care of me and no problems with the car so far! Simple and easy...never been to a dealer that was so easy to work with. Now if I could just get past this break-in period so I can get back on the rev limiter?? That's how I drive my cars!

 

Sweet yeah the service at towbin out here surprised me too! big thumbs up theyve taken care of everything... even when they replace the window moter they scratched my tint pretty bad and let me take it to my ting guy to fixed and they cut me a check for it ..... I changed my oil and noticed I was missing a quart or so .. so ill be having them do the test too

 

what do u mean they just replaced a new motor, what is everyone talking about with 1k miles? how do they test for it?

 

The rev-up motor oil consumption issue. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...ption-tsb.html

 

they replaced my motor about 4 months ago with 50k on it. I had to get my oil change there and go up there every 1k miles and after three visits they got me a new motor.1st visit 1 qt low 2nd visit 1.5 qt low 3rd visit 2.5qt low.

 

Good time to go boost- I boosted my car when they gave me a new tranny..

They did that with full bolt-on's and engine management- I couldn't believe it.

Ask them how much a new tranny is-- it should be around 5,500$
