#2652 of 2835 In search of 2007 G35 Air Filters...... by imkramer Aug 14, 2008 (9:26 am)
Does anyone know where I can purchase basic replacement engine Air Filters for a 2007 G35 Sedan?   In the stores, somehow the parts books all have the wrong size filter listed (11"x6.625"). The correct dimensions of the filter are actually 7.125 x 6.625. And there are two of them of course (dual intake).   I've been to and called a bunch of stores including AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Tires Plus and even looked online. Everyone who worked in these stores was stumped when I asked them for help. Many tried to cross reference the OEM part # but had little luck. The only filter they or I could come up with is a lifetime washable K&N High-Flow for around $50 each.   I called the parts department at the Infiniti dealership and they want $32 each. I just want to find a basic disposable Fram/Purelator/Some-other-brand air filer that costs the typical $8-$12 dollars.   Any help is appreciated.
#2653 of 2835 Re: Dreaded Rust has appeared on my G35 [oneillg] by athens Aug 22, 2008 (11:45 am)
Replying to: oneillg (Jul 14, 2008 3:56 pm) I discovered rust spots coming from the inside of the metal out -i.e. below the pain surface- (no paint damage) in the exact same spot on BOTH the left and right the real wheel arches of my 2003 G35 coupe. I believe I saw orange discoloring this past fall but I could not in my wildest dreams imagine corrosion on a 5 year old car which I bought new.   A body restoration shop has pinpointed the issue to spot welds on either side of the car where rear quarter panels meet side panel of body. They found a bulge in the body panel where one piece of steel is sandwiched (by spot welds and caulk) onto the other. The bulge has cracked the caulk on the inside of the seam. They state that until they get in there with a sand blaster they cannot be certain of the condition. Yet they would bet there already are small holes caused by corrosion in the area of the suspect spot welds.   Now waiting to hear back from District Warranty Rep.
#2654 of 2835 Schedule 1 Maintenance - is it worth it and how much? by luckylocky Sep 01, 2008 (10:34 am)
Has anybody bought the Schedule 1 maintenance for how much? Is it worth it to pay up front and save any money versus just paying for the maintenance as you go. Isn't it cheaper to get your own oil change and tire rotation? Then bring it to dealer for the major service interval like 15k, 30k, and 60k.

Replying to: luckylocky (Sep 01, 2008 10:34 am) I think this depends on how you are. I personally purchased the Elite 2, (every 7500 miles), because I will be driving my car a lot for work and won't have time to be doing the maintenance myself. I want the piece of mind of having an Infiniti mechanic working on my car and just in case I have warranty claims in the future. But remember that these prepaid maintenance prices are ALL negotiable. I got mines for $1400 and that includes the tire and wheel protection, which I read somewhere would cost ~$500 by itself, and it covers the major, and pricey, 30k and 60k maintenance. Now that I think about I probably could have gotten it another hundred or two hundred bucks lower so learn from my mistake and try to get it for as cheap as you can.   Nick
#2656 of 2835 battery G35 by camfam4 Sep 04, 2008 (5:45 am)
I have a 2004 G35 sedan, just started slow cranking and decided to change the battery.   Which battery should I buy and what tool do I use to get the cover off the top of the battery?   Mike
#2657 of 2835 Front End growl at speeds of 40mph and less by guitarman6 Sep 22, 2008 (6:49 am)
I just purchased a G35 coupe, and I love the car. It has a front end noise, at speeds of 40mph and less. Hwy driving is perfect. Its not brakes. The dealer said the front tires have a little cupping, and they should be replaced, at 235.00 a peice. I feel it could be a front wheel bearing. They say no. Who do I believe. I have 38,000 miles on car.

Replying to: guitarman6 (Sep 22, 2008 6:49 am) Wheel bearing would prob get worse as speed increased...although the frequency would increase...so it might be less noticeable. Know anyone else with a 5 bolt nissan? Bolt two donuts (theirs and yours) on the front end and take it for a spin.
