I just bought a Q45, I am looking for parts and etc. Can someone lead me in a direction via website or something, ive been looking on ebay but no luck there. PLease someone help me lol!

[q45touring]

Generally, parts are difficult to find for these vehicles. I went into mine knowing this. When it comes to suspension, good luck..... Hopefully someone will be able to post some of there sites, because I've been dealing locally and have had luck.

OEM ? or Aftermarket ?

I know for OEM there are a couple like http://orderinfinitiparts.com/ and http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/

Aftermarket is def harder... google will help find most things... what parts are you looking for?

[bvcxtds]

It seems like OEM will be the solution, but I am really looking for a back & front bumper, preferable green. I am new to this whole thing, my first car and im in love, lol. Just wanted to put that out there, thanks everyone!

Those are harder to find except for OEM. You should check all the local pick a parts and junk yards first, but unfortunately Infiniti didn't sell many so the aftermarket support is not good.

if you're looking for parts from junkies for any vehicle, I'd recommend www.car-part.com

It searches junkyard all over the US. Only place I use for used parts.

Well... as PJ can attest since I''m in the middle of replacing my knock sensors...

here's a couple of parts gone bye-bye right now...
that thin gasket on the upper plenum... is now OFFICIALLY discontinued... save the bare metal and you gonna have to use RTV sealant.



The lower alternator mounting nut is currently on backorder from Japan...



Update: Hey PJ!!! Tim Duncan of the Spurs opened up a Tuning shop not far from where I live, those guys re-tapped that nut and I'm back in business!!!
So find a machine shop to re-tap the nut if you warped it like I did...



Good luck with any engine work.... if you're a noob like me... make sure you got a second car to tool around town in...

So I used that RTV sealant after I scraped off the old residue from the bare metal... seems to be evenly applied, judging by the excess bulge all the way around the perimeter of the joint surface... what do you guys think??? I suppose I'll let it dry overnight...
