#439 of 1827 Motor Mounts by mhammy84 Jan 04, 2001 (7:25 pm)
Anybody know for sure whether the 1997 Infiniti I30's have ELECTRONIC motor mounts or just silicon filled ones? I understand that the current 2000/2001 I30s have electronic motor mounts. Do the 1997s have them or no?   Thanks...
#440 of 1827 '01 I30L Price by vtgt Jan 16, 2001 (1:59 pm)
I bought an I30 2001 Luxury model with Heated seat, Traction Control, Splash Guard, and CD changer at 28K (including Destination Charge). Is it a good price or I pay too much?
#441 of 1827 Premium or regular gas? by rkehong Jan 05, 2001 (1:40 pm)
vtgt, that sound like a decent price. Pretty much invoice price, so it's good.   Should I fill up with premium or regular gas in the I30? If my car gets used to premium gas, pinging will occur whenever I downgrade, but if I never use premium, are there long term effects?   If I use premium every once in a while (every 4 fill-ups), will that keep it clean?   What are some things I should keep in mind to break in a new vehicle?   I haven't read the archived posts, so I don't know if this subject has come up before.   Oh yeah, the new dual floor mats to replace the old rear floor mats stink. I like the single floor mat style much more. It must be a way to cut costs for Infiniti.
#442 of 1827 new tranny by maneesh1 Jan 06, 2001 (12:21 pm)
Hello fellow posters,   I took my 2001 I30T to the dealer for it's first oil change (2.5k miles - switching over to Mobil 1 Syntec) and have him look at the delay in shifting from 1st gear to 2nd. I was under the impression that all he has to do was change the TCM, as I read in other posts. Well, I was wrong. He told me that I need a whole new transmission.   He stated that the solenoid (?) is gone and so is the transmission. He told me that I will be getting a new (not rebuilt) tranny with updates, that is better than the previous one. He said that he worked on a car a few days ago where he just replaced the solenoid. But in mine, he as to replace the whole trans. He also stated that I won't get the car back till mid next week.   Well, I told him that I was unhappy with the G20 loaner and wanted something else (a Q45 actually). He said he can swap the G20 loaner for an I30 loaner.   So I went back to the dealer and got a 2K I30L for the G20.   For those of you who feel that your trans is not shifting smoothly, take it back to the dealer ASAP. I believe there is a service bulletin for this.   Regards, Maneesh
#443 of 1827 Is it my Darn luck? by rawpower101 Jan 06, 2001 (7:34 pm)
I bought a I30T in febuary of 2000. I ended up getting the car with heated seats, cd-changer, and that was pretty much it on the options list. I walked out of the dealership thinking I had gotten a good deal. I got the car for 30,773.48 before tax and stuff. With tax license and an extended warranty ($1400), I ended up at 35,157. Did they make a fool of me ?  OK now here's the sad part. The car hasn't lived up to its price. I've had it in the dealership habitually. everything from sticky and non-operational drivers side window, to an annoying humming at high speeds. ... To having the engine mounts need replacement TWICE!!! The damn transmission has a mind of its own.... it throws (very unpleasant shifting), doesn't downshift correctly etc.  Quite frankly I've had it with Infiniti's service guy's BS. they've supposidly fixed my tranny, and its only getting worse. My milage has gotten horrible....and I think that's compliments of a poor tranny. I'm very frustrated and desperate for advice or help. I just hit the 10K mark.        ~Please advise, or comment if you have shared my same problems. Thank You

Sorry to hear about your unlucky purchase...but if you're looking to be satisfied, you will have to keep bringing your car back to your dealer to have things looked at. At least your dealer is trying to help you with your problems by replacing parts. My dealer refuses to even order one small valve for my car, and thats not even the bulk of the problems i am experiencing. You're right, they do spit out a lot of BS, but then again, almost every auto company's tech people do that (they think they know too much sometimes). If your dealer has gotten to the point where they dont feel they can satisfy you anymore, you will probably have to take it to another dealer and hope to be lucky. Otherwise, try to take it to a good, knowledgeable third-party mechanic. Finally, if it seems like everything is failing, the vehicle may be a lemon, and well, you know where to go from there. Good luck with everything...
#445 of 1827 Wind Noise by redbaretta Jan 07, 2001 (9:37 am)
Djrunner and all ... I am experiencing the wind noise from the rear window(s) in my 2001 I30t as well. It seems to happen at speeds over 50mph. Are a lot of other people experiencing this? Has anyone gotten a fix from an Infiniti dealer yet? I haven't seem many posts on this board about this problem and I'm wondering whether I'm going crazy worrying about this noise or not.
#446 of 1827 I30 EPA fuel estimates by cainep Jan 07, 2001 (6:31 pm)
At the L.A. auto show this weekend, I noticed that the EPA fuel estimates have dropped from 20/28 to 19/26 mpg (same for the Maxima). Did something happen to the gearbox ratios, or are these figures more 'realistic'. When I took my 2000 I30L in for its 15K service, I was given a 2001 I30L as a loaner. The new model is nicely improved with the steering wheel controls, but I also noticed a distinct improvement in throttle response.
#447 of 1827 TCM by scuderi Jan 08, 2001 (11:02 am)
I realize this topic has been discussed before, but I thought I would call my local Infiniti dealer regarding the shifting problem from 1st to 2nd gear. My car experiences the delay in shifting from 1st to 2nd when I punch the gas. Overall I think the transmission is poor on this car. At times the transmission can be "jerky" when it shifts.   So I called the dealer, and his attitude was that this was "normal". I brought up the TCM and he said that he has not heard of one problem related to the transmission of the I30. It was obvious from the start of our conversion that I was wrong and he was right, which pissed me off.   The dealership was Leith Infiniti in Releigh. Has anyone had experiences with them?
#448 of 1827 by djrunner Jan 08, 2001 (11:16 am)
To redbaretta: I spoke with the service manager at a local Nissan dealership (different dealership than the one I am having trouble with) and he said the wind noise explanation sounded ligitamate. He told me that Nissan's policy was to log reported problems. After the same problem has been logged three times, it becomes an issue. At this point a group of service tech research the problem and try to come up with a solution. I asked him if it was possible for the wind noise problem to last for a year without being fixed and he said no. According to him, Nissan should have the issue resolved in a couple of months. If you are like me, you have to drive with the radio on all the time to keep from going nuts!!! On the last set of paper work I received for the wind noise check, I was given reference# 442433 pending. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing reference# or not, but you can check with your dealership. My dealership did acknowledge that the 2001 I30 courtesy cars that they loan out had the wind noise problem as well. It sure is funny though that on the first time I reported the problem, the service tech couldn't hear anything!!   To ALL: Everyone should probably check their security system. It seems that if you have all four doors unlocked and you get out of the car without locking it, the security system will kick on and lock the driver's door only. This has occurred on my car as well as on one other that I personally know of. This could be a common problem. Most people always lock their doors when they get out of the car, thus the problem is not noticed, but I live in an area and work in an area that I don't have to lock the doors all the time. After speaking with the Service Manager about the recent discovery, he informed me that the security system should not be kicking on. When I stop the car and get out and shut the door, I can clearly hear a buzzing sound under the hood and then I see the security light blinking. All this occurs with the doors unlocked and he said that it was not supposed to. It might be worth checking out, because if the security has a door locking glitch there is no telling what else is wrong. The security system could fail altogether!!
