How to Put Coolant in?

You should put 50% demineralized water and 50% coolant. That will cover a wider range of ambient temperatures, which is important if you're in a more northern location. I would only put water in summer (and in an emergency) - if you're in New York and you only put water, this winter you're going to be in serious trouble with no coolant at all, since it'll freeze in the rad and engine block. (I'm answering this for all G owners and not just to the OP).

now you might have air in your lines so you might have to bleed the cooling system there is a screw in the passanger side of the engine bay you pour coolant in and then run the car w/ the ac on high and then unscrew that bleeder screw until coolant pours out w/o any bubbles, otherwise you'll keep overheating

If you aren't mechanically inclined enough to put coolant in your car, it just might be best to take it to a trusted mechanic. You don't want to do something like put washer fluid in your overflow tank. Nothing wrong with it, that's why mechanics have a job, even though on a forum we tend to DIY a lot.
Also, the radiator fans have an extended warranty from Infiniti, so they might have gone bad causing coolant to boil over and why you're low now. Coolant doesn't just disappear, have your mechanic take a look at it.
In an emergency, yes you can just add water to the overflow tank and/or radiator cap (if it's COOL!!!), but follow up to have a 50/50 coolant mix filled.
