Detuned the M45 engine? by knowspinzone

I just recently discovered this site and find it a very interesting read. I currently own a '95 Q45a. I love it so its hard for me to justify buying a new car, but I am considering getting an M45 next year.
 
One disappointing thing I saw on the Infiniti web site is the engine now has 325 hp versus 335 in the 2006 model. I would have expected a slight hp boost. I would also have liked to see an M45x model (since I live in a snowy climate).

The 2007 is the exact same engine as the 2006. They changed the way that all cars measure horsepower which is why 335 went to 325....no change to the engine.
 
for 2008,we are expecting the 3.7 engine or the enhanced 3.5 coming in the 2007 G. Probably we'll also get a CVT transmission which will raise the MPG.
 
There may well be a 4.7 to replace the 4.5. Not much talk about that. Also no talk about an M45x.

Not my experience at all. Trunk closes as easily as any car I've ever had ... easier than most. Must be a glitch somewhere in your M. Should readily be fixable.

The trunk problem is easily recreatable. If I open it with the button on the trunk or with the button in the car, then I am unable to close the trunk and have it latch...it just won't latch.
 
If I then press the remote trunk open button with the trunk lid open, I hear a click and then I can just close the trunk easily. This does not happen if I try to push the button on the trunk though...only the button on the remote makes a difference.
 
My dealer will get the problem the next time I go in.....

I have never had the slightest problem closing my trunk, and I typically open it with the button on the trunk rather than the fob. I'm certain that there's a problem with your trunk and that the dealer should fix it. The good news is that it's now easily reproducible. (So much easier to deal with than an intermittent problem.)
 
As for the cheap sound people hear when closing the trunk: I have totally handled this by using a chrome plate frame by Jewelry for cars, and by adding weather stripping between the plate and the frame and between the plate and the car. It now has an absolutely solid and high quality sound that anyone would enjoy. Believe me, the aluminum trunk has nothing to do with the the problem. That chrome frame looks just great btw, and I think the M deserves it. The noise that people hear (and which I've eliminated) comes from vibration of the plate against the frame and the car, and probably occurs because they use only 2 screws rather than 4.
 
BTW my Mercedes CLK has only two screws as well and has the identical vibration and noise when I close the trunk. It's my wife's car and she hasn't complained, so I haven't fixed it.

You realize I HAVE fixed my M45, but NOT her CLK, right?
 
But I guess you understand all too well.

I was told that this was simply a matter of a processor controlling the injection and that the HP on the 2006 M35x could be raised by swapping out a controller chip. Anybody know anything about that? Sounds too good to be true.

It is definitely NOT true! Infiniti advertised the new VQ engine in the G as "80% new parts". It has variable valve timing on both intake AND exhaust cams (VQ in the M only has it on the intake side), some changes to the air intake system and some other stuff - so it is not just a change in the chip. The fuel mileage improved slightly (one mgp I believe) for both ciy and highway ratings on the new engine. Not sure why they did not make this engine available in the M - maybe not enough production capacity, OR, maybe the M will get a new 3.7L engine for 08 - supposedly, Infiniti has trademarked the name.

Radio Display by rlejr66

Anyone with the newer models of the M, please chime in. Has Nissan/Infiniti fixed the problem with the radio display for the RDS/Satellite feature? Many of you know what I am talking about. The fact that the entire artist name and/or song title doesn't display if too long. Hard to believe that even US brands have radios that are able to scroll to show the entire artist name or song title and Infiniti doesn't. So much high tech gadgetry on a car and something so simple not addressed.
