Is It True? G35x
Hello guys and girls, when I was washing my car today someone came up to me and asked if my G was an X. I said yes and then he proceeded to tell me that he was gonna buy one but then said he didn't because the AWD was not full time AWD and that it only is AWD when it starts to slip. My question is... Is this true? Does it only come on when the car starts to slip? Is it not FULL time AWD?
Yes it is rear wheel drive unless you loose rear wheel traction. If you press the snow button, then it's a 50/50 split.

Go about 2/3rds of the way down and you can read all about it.

Man I was hoping it wasn't but I guess I'm wrong. Well say I drove around with the snow button on. Would it hurt the car and how fast can I drive with the snow button on. You know how some trucks when you turn the 4WD on you have to stay under a certain speed limit. Is the G35x that way when the snow mode is turned on?

I really don't think that's to much to ask and I thought this fourm was to teach those newbs like me some knowlegde about these cars. Thank you.

Not 100% sure but I believe from 0-15 or 0-30 the traction is split like 30% front or 70% rear and then once you get above that its 100% RWD until it feels a tire slipping. Its something along those lines!!

It means Read The factory Manual. The best contributors to this forum are people who have a real interst in this car, and cars in general. A basic understanding of the car is requisate for good, constructive discussion.
Take a good look at your woners manual, and check out http://www.infinitinews.com/infiniti/index.shtml for basic information on you (and all Infinitis).

My thoughts exactly. I think it's better that way.
The AWD in your system is way more "intelligent" than an all time All-wheel drive; you get the safety and advantage of a 4WD car:
- 50:50 during launch and or drive off
- the ability to lock the car at 50:50 when you press the snow button
Moreover, what you get more than a 4WD car is:
- the fun of a true sports car (RWD) since you are basically at 0:100 unless if you are launching or loose traction
- Traction, traction and a lot of traction since the system can send ALL THE TORQUE to the wheel or drive shaft that need it to keep your car in control.
So why would you want to have a full time AWD car when you have a more intelligent version of it that can give you alot more (alot more than best of both worlds).
