Unfortunately the pics do not come out so can anyone tell me if they have been removed by the O.P. or is it my end.

its definatly the O.P. not yours.. pictures must have been removed from the site they had them uploaded on

Unfortunately, it's actually an issue from when we upgraded the forum to the new server. Is there anything specific that I can help you with? It is a relatively straight forward process, so just the written instructions should get you through it.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. After reading through the instructions I realised it did seem pretty straight forward so I thought I would just have a go. Just finished it and the car still runs! Bonus!!

Throttle body cleaning is good and I do it every 2 years in all the cars, except the M35 and 03Q45. Nissan/Infiniti does not recommend cleaning of "drive-by-wire throttle" as it can cause Idle Speed Control problems which may not be covered by warranty. The 2nd time I cleaned the TB of our 03Q, I had P0505 which I can't reset. The dealership spent several hours diagnosing it, doing leak checks and re-programming of the ECU to no avail. The TB was eventually replaced. Fortunately for me, the car was still under warranty and Beshoff Infiniti-San Jose did everything - parts and labor, free of charge.

For all electronic parts and the throttle body I am using a Radio Shack electronic cleaner
Dont use carb cleaner-too aggressive
I use rubbing alchohol too along with a toothbrush. I like to remove from the engine.
Be careful not to overtension springs etc-use good common sense and you will be ok
Dont lose the tb gasket its easy to
