So I Purchased a G35 on Thursday July 2nd 09 and the ticking noise that the dealer said was probably the timing chain tensioner was probably more like a bad rod bearing. Dealer said they would look in to the problem after the holiday weekend. I made it 232 miles b4 it came apart on the highway. Blew a piston rod through the engine block and my car bled out on the highway. Oil everywhere on the highway. Hopefully i get a new engine under warranty, but wont know till monday. glad I didnt trade my other car in so at least i got something to drive the rest of the weekend!

 

Was it an infiniti dealer?

 

Ouch!! Man sorry to see that happen to you. Very rare occurrence on these VQ's.

G/L

 

Really hope everything works out

 

wow....thats crazy man. I hope they do right by you.

 

sounds like when I got my engine replaced under warranty for burning oil, and the new engine had the 6th cylinder completely seize up within the first 10 miles. Good luck man, they should take care of it, hard to look at those pics. goodluck...

 

u see can in 1 of the pix the plates are from a small use car dealership. U might be able to get your money back due to the lemon law but it's hard to tell. GL

 

wow!

 

Wow, sorry to hear that.

What are those pieces of metal in the 3rd picture?

 

I dont know what i would do.

 

The rod and piston.

How many miles were on the car? Boosted? Stock?

 

stock car 03 absolutly flawless paint no dents noo dings super clean interior crap engine but im sure it will get fixed

 

Wow.

 

i'd be interested to know the history on that car...

also what year is it? how many miles? which tranny? etc..

 

I didnt know it was an 03. This may be a hard fight
