Hi Guys,

Just thought i would warn you in regards to purchasing parts from nissan.

If you ever need parts contact Riverside Infiniti in california.

The guy to deal with is Tony Nazzal, email: [email protected]

The reason why i posted this is because i had something wrong with my starter motor. It was making a noise when cranking the car in the morning like a crunching sound.

Anyway i got a quote for a new one from nissan, $1490.00, stuff that. Contacted infiniti and ended up buying one for $385 delivered, brand new and genuine. Bluddy rip off's

he is probably australian considering he drives a V35 skyline and not an infinity :)

and it wouldnt surprise me that US parts are so much cheaper anyway. getting anything out of japan isnt cheap!

really???

90% of the business I do with japan is not that bad. its who you know.

I agree with you Chris, however i dont know anyone in the industry but you get my gist yea. I mean come on we are talking about a difference of $1015, thats alot of dough.

Hey Chris just a quick question i had a dead battery a couple of weeks ago which you might be aware of as i created a thread about the stalling thing. I asked my auto electrician whether something was draining my battery. He detected that a component on the car was draining 0.02 either volts or amps not to sure how you measure it. He said not to worry about it as it is not ebough to drain the battery. Would that be right? How long would it take to make the battery go dead.

cheers mate

I am pretty sure that the ECU has a constant power source and I am pretty sure there would be a few things being powered from there.

Hey Andy thanks. Im just concerned because i have seen a few threads on american forums about a faulty bose radio draining energy even when the car is turned off. It drains enough energy to make the battery go dead within 4 days. Apparently there is a fault in the head unit that causes this.

Mate all you have to do is email him, tell him what car you have (Remember you must refer to your car as an infiniti G35 coupe or sedan depending on what you have including the year model) and also the part that you need.

You don't really need the part number.

part numbers help. when I'm buying buttons the call to him is easily 30 minutes. with the part numbers ita a 10 minute call. I don't bother with email. takes 2-3 days to get a reply. prefer to deal with nissan japan. 2hr turn around on email and I can usually get straight onto who I need.

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
