Replying to: walt18 (Sep 29, 2008 8:03 am) Performance is the same or better. Your engine was designed for gas...not gas and ethanol.

Replying to: ghstudio (Sep 28, 2008 4:44 pm) Ethenol has significantly less stored energy per volume verses gasoline. The same thing between gas and diesel, diesel has more energy per volume, so it should provide more miles per gallon.   I'll have to look, but with the EPA rules around here (NH), I don't think anyone sells gas without the alcohol in it.
#125 of 139 Infinity m35 Rear view camera by mako5 Feb 13, 2009 (1:32 pm)
With a 2008 m35 base car (no nav. or anything extra) , is there a way to hook up a rear view camera and get it work without allot of wiring or software up grades ? Replies to this message: barryend (Feb 13, 2009 1:48 pm)

Replying to: mako5 (Feb 13, 2009 1:32 pm) I saw a rear view camera kit in Walmart. I don't know anything about it.
#127 of 139 M35x Final Drive Ratio by tonycd Feb 19, 2009 (9:54 pm)
I know that on old RWD Detroit sedans, it was a rather simple matter to change out the rear axle for another one with a taller or shorter gear ratio, and thus modify the final drive ratio.   Obviously, this is more complicated with an AWD car like the M35x. Given the annoyingly tall final drive, even in top gear, that Nissan still insists on using for the AWD 5-speed, is it feasible? Replies to this message: james27 (Feb 20, 2009 3:57 pm)

Replying to: tonycd (Feb 19, 2009 9:54 pm) Feasible, no, possible - anything, if you've got enough money. The speedometer/odometer wouldn't be accurate, either...it's all controlled by the computer (well, maybe if you have the nav system - that can self-correct within limits). Not sure how the front power takeoff works, you might end up with a terrible, dangerous mismatch between front and rear. The transmission would shift at the wrong points, and the load would increase in first gear...not good for takeoff, the internal clutches, etc.

Has anyone replaced cabin or seat filters themselves. I was wondering how much trouble they are ?

Replying to: rogerthat_101 (Jul 06, 2009 1:50 pm) The only reason to get the x (4 wheel drive) is if you are in the snow belt...and then that's the only M you should get.   The sports model rides a bit stiffer than the regular M and has some "trammelling"/stability issues (jumping around when the car hits a tar strip on the road).   If you are going to consider the sport, find a road with a tar strip between the lanes and see what happens as you change lanes (crossing that strip slowly). Many find that the wheel catches and almost pulls the car away from you when it catches on that strip.

Replying to: ghstudio (Jul 06, 2009 2:23 pm) I upscaled and downsized from a 2006 M35X to a 2009 Audi A4 2.0 quattro, sports package. I recommend driving one before going for an Infiniti M or G. If you are a handling fan order one with sports package. 30 mpg highways vs 20, much better handling and ride. No trammeling and uncontrollable lurches. Not as much gizmology but fold down rear seats, huge trunk, finest build quality. Prepay service and sleep at night. 50%+ residuals. 2010 has new Nav. & hard drive a la Infiniti.
