What’s up everybody!
I just bought this 2011 M56x with 143k. This is my first car ever with over 400hp….

I love it.


Thinking about putting some aftermarket rims on her. I’ll search for a thread about it.

Hi,

I'm Lauri from Finland and I've just registered here. I've been lurking here for a while now 'cause this is probably the best place to find any information about my car.
There are some very good tutorials and DIY guides here too!

I have a 2009 Nissan Fuga 370GT Type S. It's basicly just my summer car so right now it's sitting in my garage.

Those 20" Trafficstar wheels came with the car from Japan but I have another set (20" Kranze LXZ) waiting to be installed. I know those current wheels divide people quite a bit but I kinda like them.
I'm also planning on updating the audio system to Audison SR series amps and Audison Voce series speakers and sub. I have everything I need but just lack the motivation right now..

A few months ago I installed a Speed Culture Studios' cat back exhaust. Bought the necessary components and some airplane welder fella welded them together. Sounds great.

Hello from Iowa.

Picked up a 2015 Q70 w/84k on 4/1. Pretty stock build as I believe the Premium option was included at no charge in 2015? I've previously owned a 2011 G37x and loved the drive and performance, and was looking to get out of my Accord Coupe. Searching the Q50, what I found is that the 3.0T has significant turbo failures, and Infiniti opted to remove the memory option with power steering column from most vehicles. Loving the 3.7 and the AWD, I found a deal on a Q70 that was at a small town Ford dealership (was their insurance reps car) so they weren't asking a premium for the vehicle.

So far loving it! Certainly different driving dynamics than the G37x, and has the room I needed moving from a Coupe (and not wanting a SUV).

I have two questions for the forum -

1. Why can't I open the doors from the inside when the doors are locked? I don't remember this on my G - feels like a safety concern? Am I missing something? In order for a passenger to open the door, the vehicle needs to be unlocked.

2. Where can I find a replacement map light bulb? Seems like it should be easy, but every listing calls for a push in type and not the bayonet - and I assume there's a less expensive option than getting one from Infinity? BTW - Infiniti doesn't list the bulb as applicable for the Q70 either - I need a 12v 8w Toshiba replacement.

Thanks!
Eric

Hi everyone, I just bought my first Infiniti a week ago today. As my username says, it's an M56x. 2012 model, and I live in Alaska. I logged in here on the suggestion of a fellow Facebook Infiniti group member.

I took a few pics yesterday after I cleaned off the considerable amount of road grime. I saw a thread about how to post pics, so I'll read through that and see if I can get some here. My actual name is Matt, by the way.

How to upload pictures on NICOclub: Using IMGUR Pictures can also be added as an attachment.
If you need help adding pics, just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to help.

Greetings from Colorado,

First off thanks to everyone that has contributed to this forum. It's a wealth of knowledge and I couldn't be more grateful.

I just bought this 2013 M56xS and couldn't be happier! I'm really looking forward to learning more about the Y51 platform.

I'll take some better pics soon, but here's a couple for now.

I purchased a 2017 Q70L 5.6L AWD a few weeks ago with only 33k miles.

It's an awesome car, and I'm loving it!

Hey everyone from the Triad of NC! I purchased a 2012 Infiniti M37x in Storm Front Grey with the Premium package, Deluxe Touring package, & Java leather in late October 2024 with around 173k miles. The car spent its first 40k miles or so up north before being bought in VA and then sold again in NC. Found it on FB marketplace after looking for a decent car to drive for a daily. It was a unique situation as far as how the purchase went but once everything was settled with the lender it went well. I initially had my local Nissan dealer do a pre-purchase inspection on it. I knew it needed valve cover gaskets but it turns out it also needed a rack and pinion..... I still made the decision to buy the car even though I knew it needed some other things addressed. I ended up replacing the valve covers and gaskets myself and had Nissan do the rack and pinion. Going to the Infiniti dealer was out of the question considering it would have cost $6k there versus $3k at the Nissan dealer. Paid around $1500 for the rack and pinion job at Nissan. I learned a lot from YouTube university about this car lol. Or at least the VQ37VHR it has. I will put a list of things I did to the car below but overall I'd say the car is a blast to drive. I did most of everything on the list. I do have my concerns with the coolant issues and transmission issues I'd like to address too. But I am actively working on it. Either way I'm satisfied and will be posting updates periodically and will reaching out to the community for advice. One day I will upgrade to a newer Q70 model

-Replaced rotors & brake pads (PowerStop)

-Valve Covers and Gaskets(OEM)
-Rack and Pinion(Remanufactured/Rebuilt)
-Rear/Front Differential, & T-case fluids changed with Amsoil fluids

-Coolant, and a couple of coolant hoses that were leaking (OEM)
-A couple of engine flushes and oil changes as of 12/01/24(Pennzoil Platinum HM & Amsoil)
-2 Engine air filters and 1 cabin air filter. All were filthy.
