Just picked up a 1 owner 2004 6MT sedan. Only had 132,300 or so miles on it when I bought it which is pretty low for the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I've put more miles than that in 4 years on my '04 Accord...which is the reason I bought a second car!
In order to make unintresting story short... No I can't do it!
1. Tryed to open frozen passenger door window with no luck. (Why?!)
2. Next warmer day it was half open, but not working. (Naturally)
3. I had to go. Emergencia. So I opened the door and took out the motor. (Youtube is perfect)
4. Without motor at the door, glass simply drops down... (Stupid me.)
5. Had some IKEA furniture stickers... So I figured out that I can hold window up by sticking these stickers on the glass (not damaging the paint). (Worked.)
6. It worked for few days until have to replace stickers with new ones. IKEA's are not that far in Sweden. (Not too bad...)
7. Infiniti is not sold much in Europe, finding replacement motor from second hand car is almost impossible. I found one FX35 with same motor, but price for this 13 year old window motor was little more than new one is at US. Didn't buy it. (Yes. I am cheap.)
8. Figured out that two thickest wires must be motor wires, other 4 ones is just for CAN and pulse generator s**t. Gave this motor a good shot with DC power supply and motor was running just fine. (Why I did not do this at day one...)
9. Put the f***ing motor back to door, made calibration mambo-jambo as told in service manual. And it worked just fine. Better than new. (Sweet.)
Gotta love this car. It does not drink juice from dealers fancy tester at 100 USD per hour.
NO, these can simply fix themself.
120k miles on the clock.
Thanks so much for sharing...both of my windows are now stuck closed(up). Will try to do a motor reset first before I attempt what worked for you...
07 g35x, 210k original engine and trans, 2ed owner. The car is in brand new condition (mechanically). I'm a technician at Carmax and had it on the lift nothing leaks no strange noises, no perforated rust. Cars in crazy good condition. Raced my g37c with 45k and lost by half a car length by the time we let off at around 60mph from a dig.
Look how clean that cam is!
Has nothing to hide, so i cleaned it off but haven't gotten pics yet.
4 transmissions
1 motor due to my negligence (motor mounts, engine jumped in engine bay and loosened the crank)
Wheel bearings
Alternator for a gtr version
Starters 3
Lightbulbs
Thats about it.....
Transmission faults were due to my.version having inadequate transmission cooling. I added a transcooler and no more issues. Afterwards South motors infiniti used my system on other customers and no more issues with their setups either.
why you go through transmission so much?
I'm at 210k and everything is original including water pumps, alternators, starters, pulleys and things of that nature.
