I live in San Francisco and weather has been great the past few weeks. So I doubt it was a puddle. Secondly, when i was drilling i encountered a force but thought nothing of it since all the holes were rather hard to drill. After drilling the far right side, some type of liquid was coming out for a good 10minutes. After that it just stopped. Drove the car and no liquid continued to leak. I just hope its not AC. Thanks for your help wanted.


Windshield wiper fluid works. Did not try AC. Will do that tomorrow.

 

well see if your washer fluid still works and if your ac works?

 

If it is like the sport, the windshield washer fluid reservoir is on the passenger side behind the fake grill. If you hit a metal A/C line, you would know it because they are under pressure.

If it is leaking from the passenger side, I would guess you drilled into your windshield washer fluid reservoir.

 

Agree. Though I have a non-sport model G35.

 

I honestly don't think that will make any difference on the car. If it did, the factory would have had the open plastic mesh in the vents the same as they did in my last 05G35X.
If they made a big difference they would have left them like the last gen. G35

Here is a pic of my 05 G35X, you can see the open mesh design in it. With the second gen they closed it up.

 

I have a non-sport as well.
The tank is in the same place for all 07+ models

Have you filled it up to the top to check for leaks yet?

 

@ GEE35X: I decided to do this not only for better cooling purpose but for more realistic looking. I am tired of the fake looking grill vents. I hate them every time I look at them. If they are not functional why don't Infiniti just delete them and make a smoother bumper for better air flow and sharper looking? Now I love the looking of my car with a REAL grill vents.

 

I hear you on that, and I do agree, why put fake grills in there. If they are going to put them there then put real ones.

 

I would bet money they kept them closed for aerodynamics, which is why they advertise this on their site:

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that same cd they advertised for the 05/06 sedans with the grill cutouts.

 

Could be, but that was a different body style.

 

Wow , never realized that, thanks Mike

 

if you did drill holes in your washer fluid reservoir, let me know phalanx...i'm putting my injen CAI in and will have the stock washer reservoir for sale...as i do not plan on putting everything back to stock before selling it years and years and years down the road

 

I was very careful while drilling those holes. I don't want to damage anything behind the grills and I didn't. If you want to sell the reservoir, I think Tekieru will take it.
BTW, are you gonna run without washer fluid?

 

The Injen comes with a smaller resevoir to clear the intake.
