The block I got was a Oil consumotion replacement at a Infiniti Dealership in New Jersey. The guy came back a month later and said it was smoking. The Tech said we cannot find evidence of that. The customer argued until he was given another motor. This is the one they took out.

It cost $230 to ship it from residence to residence with a lift gate. www.engineshippers.com

 

My girlfriend's 95 Honda del Sol has 218, 000 miles on it and still going strong!

 

I am almost at 74,000 miles right now and my check engine soon light just came on. I tired to search but did not find anything either.

Does this light come on at any set amount of miles to try and get you to go service it? My dad said his car used to do that but I can not find anything about that in a G35.

Thanks!

PS: I checked the gas cap and it was closed.

 

78k miles. lot's more squeaks, crackle, pops throughout the vehicle.

 

At 75K ...I just had to change the usual, which was the battery & clutch...

 

I've got an 03 coupe w/ 98.5k mi and I've had a ton of problems...

-CD changer died/jammed. This was after it was already replaced once under warranty. So I just ditched it and got an aftermarket system, DD dash, headunit, sub, amp, speakers. $700 + labor
-Both lock actuators failed. $300 in parts + labor
-Both window motors failed: $360 in parts + labor

And then the usual of course, new battery, tires, brakes. I just hope the next 100k mi will be smooth than the previous! The problems I had were strictly electrical though. Mechanically the car is excellent

 

Ok, after taring my motor out and swapping it out with a new one, I found that the timing chain DID NOT break. What did happen was the key in the crank mounted timing gear sheered and the timing chain and the crank turned seperately. Or should I say the Crank turned and the timing chain didn't. Same result, different breakage.

 

Its a metal chain, they hardly ever break

and they dont need to be serviced under normal driving

A timing BELT you do change every 70k-100k

 

Well mines at 86K and runs very strong so far.

Door locks already acted up but are being fixed by the dealer.

nothing else to report yet.

 

Trade in

 

take it to your local Autozone and have them run a check on it and tell you the code.

Then look that up and see what the problem is.


As I have probably mentioned before my car is on a verge of 100k so I'm doing all kinds of 100k maintenance here and there.
Few weekends ago I changed the spark plugs, cleaned TB and Mass airflow censor. Weekend after that I replaced my shocks and struts and inspected my bushings and stuff (not a single worn out bushing btw). Tested the battery (OEM nissan battery still delivers top notch voltage). Did a fuel system cleaning with seafoam and next weekend going to do crank case and vac line cleaning, also changing dif fluid and transmission fluid.
And I still have OEM original drive belts, they are still in OK condition.

Went out last week to test the car after I did the cleaning. Was trying to see ho much it will spin if I pre load it. Usually I get a few spins and then it takes off. Last week I was able to spin through out the 1 st gear and into 2 nd (it's AT)

I'm even tempted to go dyno it again to compare the numbers to when the car was almost new.

So everything really comes down to the owner of the car. With proper maintenance it will last as long as you need it to.
