Well, after the spark plug service and tb cleaning, I noticed a slight "bump" when accelerating from a stop.... opened the hood and decided to see if it was the motor mount.....

what do you think?! $147 part from infiniti, maybe 1.5 hr labor....... got some work to do on Monday! Also, there is a weird tapping sound from the engine, I think its from the mixed oils I've been using over the years (different infiniti service depts, car wash oil changes(don't recommend much), home oil changes, valvoline, castrol, mobile1, and Penzoil!! ) Hopefully a BG Flush+MOA service will help clean some of it up. Will keep you updated!
