Common Problems With The Coupe

[T88turbo]

We need to start a thread about common problems so we are aware of them when they arise.

Does any one know of any common problems with these vehicles?? E.G. TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, A/C, ELECTRONICS ......

My drivers side power window switch is starting to work only when it wants...

My key pretty much stopped working. I've replaced the batteries, and it still doesnt work...

Automatic gearbox can be a tempremental sometimes, a friends V 300GT has gearbox dramas, Best bet is too fit an aftermrket Gearbox oil cooler. Solves the problem.

Yeah my key is a bit temperamental, kinda scared of it failing cause i have no keyhole in the door.

I Don't know if you guys have had the problem, but i have read forums in the U.S. where oil consumption with some g35 and mostly 6mt, seems to be a real issue. Infinity if pushed, has replaced engines.

Does anyone know for sure if the g35 is made in Japan or the U.S. because i was told this was a U.S. problem?

this seems to be only an issue with manual "rev up" engines in the US..

INFINITI'S ARE ASSEMBLED IN THE USA, BUT THE PARTS ARE MADE IN JAPAN.

YANKS DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD CARS FOR SHIT, THE JAPANESE ARE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

I fixed my key problem. Had to bend the contacts so they better touch the battery. Scrubbed gently with the screwdriver also. Works fine now

If I am correctly thinking of the manual you are talking about, there is one on www.g35drive.com. http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107032.

You will need to replace your window electric motor available from Nissan @ approx $350

I've had to replace both now

They also seem to have issues with clicking rear wheels

Welcome.

lol, nah, I didn't have anything like that. But hey, as long as it works, and it seems it works even better now, haha. My range isn't very long, so wouldn't mind the double...

What you mean clicking rear wheels? What is the actual problem?

I am having problems again with my central locking and power window both on the driver's side. The auto electrician who knows the V35 repacked the power window motor and aligned the gears and it worked for a while but has now shit itself again.

Any clues why both have gone - do they use the same controller? Are the motors for both the same as the 350Z?

The window is locked in the up position and it interfers with the top moulding when closed because the release memory for the window to open and close the door is also not operating. Any clues as to what's happening??

Unfortunately seems to be quite a common problem. A few of the 350z guys have reconditioned the power window motor but also didn't last long so they just go out and buy new motors. Best price I've seen is $500 for both passanger and drivers side. Not sure why it would interfere with the central locking though.

I've been searching for info on V35's to replace my ageing POS 1994 Maxima.

Window failure in a Nissan again! I thought they fixed this problem, how the hell do they manage to replicate it again?

The window motors in the Maxima have been replaced by an auto elec, after Nissan charged me $200 just to look at the car. All up has cost me $500+ and they still don't work!

The back rear window is chocked up with wood, which is very stylish.

The front windows would not come back up so I reversed the polarity and used the door entry keypad to wind them back up then disconnect the power all together.

Basically I don't need to deal with this f**king bullshit again in another Nissan.

Anyone actually had someone fix the windows in the V35 and have them stay fixed before I even think about buying a V35?

Is the same problem in R33/34s or just the V35?
