Picked this beauty up off an infiniti tech for $650, it was maintained by two infiniti dealers it's entire life except for oil changed and tires. (I have a HUGE stack of service print outs from the dealer that go back to '97) Anyway, 229k kilo's on the clock, almost perfect interior and even with a misfire still accelerates pretty quick for a luxury four door with huge tires and a 3.54 rear gear! My friends dubbed it the q-tip for some reason and I am now ordering custom plates...

Good deal! Misfire may be a bad coil or an injector going. Chevron Techron concentrate can possibly unclog an injector and never hurts things. Just make sure to add to a nearly empty tank.

I have two new sets of new style injectors, rails, harness, lower runners and o-rings and gaskets ordered through the dealer if these injectors end up not ohming correctly, put in a gallon of lucas injector cleaner to 3/4 of a tank and it seems to be helping alot. Just can't drive it much right now due to it not having plates or a title.


Resized pictures didn't want to show up, so here they are again. (gotta love crappy cell phone pics)

the vvt sprockets where making noise in 2007 at 151k kilo's so they where replaced at the dealer along with the guides, cam seals, valve cover gaskets and VVT solenoids. :)

I literally have a hefty stack of service receipts from the dealer on this car.
