now im worried,
i just took my G out for a major ***-kickin, i was with my freind and was trying to show off, figured i had 1800 miles and it was nicely broken in. so i basically took it for a 2 hour drive in the mountains in Los Angeles, red lining it ONCE and just driving real hard pushing hard turns,, i couldnt stop smiling the way the car was performing ( except my alignment )
anyway then i took it too, 110MPH, and then for the last 20min of driving i was just driving normal staying under 3-3500 RPMS when i got home, the hood was really hot and various smells where coming out of everywhere with heat lifting out of everywhere along with loud ticking noises coming from under the hood, i popped the hood and a gush of heat poured on my face, with burning smells..... but there was no smoke coming for anywhere

i expected this some what, but is all this normal? i mean isnt the G35 meant for hard driving, i dont know just seemed like when i parked the car it was telling me " please dont ever do that again to me "

 

Normal

After 2 hrs of driving, car will be very very hot.
Ticking noise is car cooling down from crackling heat.
Smell is from new stuff in car breaking in, oils, greases, etc.

 

my car has 9000km on it sometimes when i shift at 4-5k rpm it smells really bad...

 

thanks for the reassurance thank god,, i hate dealing with the service people at infiniti

 

i did everything you mentioned plus did a couple donuts while i was up there. my only concern was my new wheels and tires hahaha and yea, its normal and it'll go away

 

I've seen a lof of folks in the first 5k mention this as well as white puffs of smoke out the exhaust during hard driving - both are normal, that explaination I saw said that Nissan/Infiniti puts some chemical in the exhaust for transit over the Pacific that slowly burns off in the first 5k miles.

 

i was smelling smoking gaskets after my car was broken in and took it
a little quick (a little? ) for a spirited drive.

(gaskets from the exhaust)

 

It's just the wuppin' she got....no worries.
C.

 

normal.......but thats what you get for beating it up

 

Don't even trip....the G35 is not a perfect car....but the engine on that car is a friggin TANK, I redline it all the time....it just begs for more.

 

does the smell kinda resemble tires burning almost? i had the same problem before, i thought my clutch was burning out. lol i was pretty scared.

 

She was just tired from that hard run. Give her a bath, get here cleaned up and she'll be ready to take out on the town again.

 

i get the same smell coming from under neath the car.. i always think its the clutch burning.. brought it in to the dealer and they said that the tranny and clutch are good.. i guess its a normal smell.. i only get this when i ride the clutch a little..( i ride jus sometimes to burn out or when some **** is up my *** and i dont wanna roll back on him)

 

infiniti is lying to you.. that is the clutch burning..

 

they are right.. i knew it .. *******s.. the car only has 13k miles on it.. i smellled it when i had it washed n it shut off on the guy 3xs.. idiot.. and wheni got it inspected it shut off on the guy 2xs..

i will have to take it to another dealership.....
