i dont know whats going on, when i start the car the front suspension raises like it should but a couple of seconds later the right front side drops down and the left stays raised, and if i turned it off the right raises again.

The first thing you're going to want to do is check the system's self-diagnostics. If you don't have a FSM, you can look at and download the pertinent sections here: Look in section FA under "Full Active Suspension" and "Trouble Diagnosis for Full-Active Suspension System". Then run the diags.

For some background, read through these threads:

If you have some time, you can learn a lot about the Q45a and its high-tech suspension from Searching NICO. Start by reading all the threads with posts from "texasoil". Be sure to click on "post bodies" and search both "archived" and "recent" threads. That's 2 separate searches.

whats an FSM? I tried that self diagnostics and the ACTSUS light would flash repeatedly in sets of 4, what does it mean? and instead of the right side raising back up the left went down and now the whole front is dropped. PLEASE HELP!

FSM is Factory Service Manual. The place I pointed you to has the manual online. Click on the file named "fa.pdf" and read the sections I cited. The diags section willl tell you what the flashes mean.

whats consult?

Please start by reading the Owner's Manual and the FSM. Then try a few searches before asking questions.

The good news is that TexasOil is in houston.

Consult is Nissan's proprietary diagnostics system. Any Nissan or Infiniti dealer has it and can use it to check any of the electronic systems.

Similar to an OBD reader.

It looks like he's letting that URL go, Brian - it hasn't been renewed. This is the more comprehensive site:
