We have most of his history and did all the 7500k,15000k,30000k,60000k,105,000k services at Inskip. He did not get his oil regurlary changed here though. I saw the guy, he's an older lookin fellow and seems to love his car cause the salesman asked him if he was ready to trade it in and he said no not yet.

Oh, I did have to change the distributor ignition module and oil seal last year. Nothing but Mobil 1 and Amsoil universal ATF fluid since 2000 miles.
Actually, I am surprised that G needed a radiator in only 3 years. Must not have been flushing/maintaining the coolant properly.

Dont compare Infiniti with a Honda , i think Honda's are much more reliable than Nissan products

I had a '97 QX4 with 141K (bought it brand new), and that car had been through everyting! it got rear-ended, drove into a snowbank up in the mountains, it rear-ended someone else, it was stolen at the Infiniti dealer when it was in for a 90K service (and recovered a month later), it's seen -30 degrees up to 115 degrees, ran into a guard rail, and not to mention that it had two 16 year old drivers behind the wheel of it (which most of the accidents were because of the young drivers). It was a great SUV. It started to have a few problems, but nothing major. I Just traded it in for my '06 G35X and this car is MY car...no one else is driving it. 
Lovin' it!

So we have living proof that the G's can live over a 100,000. Just thought some of you would fined this interesting!!
