Did anyone ever made a replacement insert for the 05-06 lower vents/ducts (non Nismo)?

Quote: Thank you. I will get the NGK Iridium IX LFR5AIX-11.

I saw a video on how to change it and it was quite over whelming for me since i am not a DIY guy and won't like to play with engine. So i may have to pay and get it outside.
OEMs are Platinum btw NGK (6240) PLFR5A-11 which will last longer then Iridiums, both will work.

Hey guys i need help, ive been trying to get rid of the clunking comin fr the passenger side i ended up swapping, sway bar links, lower ball joints, upper a arms, compression rod bushings and the passenger side upper strut mount and struts and the noise has been reduced a lot but i still got clunking on the passenger side i dont mind changing parts cause ive gotten every thing pretty cheap from the classifieds and im getting my suspension ready before i drop it, so what else could it be is only on small cracks, may tie tods, rack and pinion bushing, heeeeelp

^ going over bumps?

Check out this thread https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...rut-noise.html

I have a clunk (there is a video on the last page) I have replaced the endlinks, I have to change the strut mount, which should be it.

maybe motor or tranny mount. Sounds like you've replaced just about everything else

not cracks probably but any slightly bigger bump it would. I'm not too familiar with them on these cars, just an idea

I have an 04 X and am shopping wheels. I have to get the exact same size wheels for front and back since it is AWD right?

No you don't, you can get a staggered setup. You just need to be sure that the tire diameter is very close (ie: 225/40/19 and 255/35/19)

but answering it this way opens up 15 more follow-up questions...

telling him to get a square setup is just an easier answer, had he attempted to find info, he would of found the group of postings on wheels and tires for the X.

I'm on squared wheels and stagged tires. Was on stagged wheels and tires. Will eventually go square tires and wheels.

Quote: a very popular mechanic here told me g35 spark plugs are good till 120k miles and no need to change them. i am approaching 100k miles so i was wondering if i should get it changed or should stay put till 120k? please advice.

thank you
Um technically you could go that long, but you might as well just do them at 100k

This is what mine looked like at 125k





Quote: Just make sure when you do them not to mix up the 4 and 6 coil pack connections
^Don't worry, that kinda crap only happens when Janik helps out


Quote: Thank you. Guess i will get it changed.

@Songle - I won't be doing it myself, hope the shop doesn't screw it.

which spark plugs do you recommend? Stock ones or something better?

Thank you
Stock Platinum NGKs
