Hello from Nor*Cal. I'm an old time Lexus owner and a first time Infiniti owner.

I'm John(noob) and here's a pic of my 02' q45. In the background is my LS400.

I plan to start modding my f50 soon. Looking forward to chatting and learning from you OGs...lol

2002 painted benz red, air ride, 19" work fabolous. Changing to some axis shines, gotta redo the air ride to bigger lines and add a second compressor, body kit, has extreme camber but gonna change it to flush and straight. But not a bad start...

Newbie here! I own a 2003 Infinity Q45 Premium, Desert Platinum in color. 20" Status rims/low profile tires. I have quite a few questions: Even without the key inserted, there's a very faint beep that seems to be coming from the front passenger side recurring every 10 seconds. Secondly, I have a vibration that only occurs between 45-55 mph and again over 70mph. And, lastly, my grille has faded. I can't powder coat plastic and can't seem to find a replacement. Any responses, suggestions, solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Welcome Infinitewisdom,

I'm no mechanic, however I would dare to say that the shaking you are experiencing is coming from the need of a front end alignment. I've experienced this in my cars before.

Hope this helps!

All the best,
~HollywoodJackson~

The vibration can be due to a multitude of things. For starters have your wheels balanced, and have your wheels checked to determine if any of your wheels are bent. Does the aftermarket wheels require hubcentric rings, and if so are the rings on? Alignments are typically not the cause for vibrations. Check the likes of ebay for a re-chromed grill. If you cannot located anything on ebay, have a bodyshop re-chrome your grill.

Need more clarification on the beeping noise you mentioned.

I am Glad to have found both the Infiniti Q45 and this owners club/forum.
Having been a '95 Jag XJ12 owner and enthusiast for many years,(due to '95 being the last year of 12 cyl up here in Canada),
I had thought I would not experience that level of detail and luxury in another car...and lets not mention the Jaguar mechanical nightmares here pls...lol
Well I can very happily say that this 2002 Q45 is certainly well beyond the XJ line in luxury appointments, build quality, engine power and handling.

I am completely new to the Japanese luxury car world.
This forum is a valuable resource tool for Q45 newbies like myself,

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experiments, trials, and successes.
I hope to also share with the group one day.

Recently purchased an 02 F50 for a grand, that is definitely in need of restoration. Think the previous owner tried using this car for drifting, there was a brochure for a local league in the glovebox and a Russian Drifting Series sticker in the window.

-130k mi
-slammed on genuine R32 Skyline Gtst rims (an upside

https://youtu.be/_a2ZTm9_MkA

The issues needing addressed are as follows.
-MAF code, steering fluid pressure code, and IMMU key code pulled
-needs bigger rims, looking to trade these skyline rims for 20s or bigger
-sounds like a knock in the engine
-rev limiter at 2.5k per the MAF code
-wiring issues with turn signals, and different repetition speeds
-keyless entry fob doesn't work with the car
-shifter base framing is loose, park sensor inaccuracy complicates ignition operation
-sunroof window jammed, opens no more than 3 inches
-back sun shade jammed, won't extend
-entire car is flat black, including chrome trim and insignia
