2003 Infiniti I35 6 Speed Manual Transmission. Limited Slip on 2040-cars
Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States
|
Clean and clear Missouri title This was originally a standard 2003 i35 with a little over 200,000 well-maintained miles. Got it with a bad engine but since the body was good I decided to swap the engine and transmission while at it. The donor car was a 2003 Nissan Maxima (Titanium Edition, 6 speed manual with a Helical Limited Slip Differential). Everything was done meticulously without cutting corners. I have receipts for the parts I bought but I have no receipts for labor. I did all the work in my garage.Let's get straight to the point, listing the good and the bad. Forgive me as I go into a detailed description, but you can't find this thing on wikipedia. Good The car runs and drives properly. It pulls strong with no strange noises Electronics work: windows, locks, sunroof, seats Every light works like it should: headlights, foglights, turn signals. hazards. I even managed to connect the cornering lamps The interior is pretty good for a 200K mile car The exterior is also in good shape for the age. Most, if not all of the 100K mile maintenance was done to the engine as well as other "while the engine is out" stuff: - OEM Nissan Spark plugs - All ignition coils are good - Intake manifold gaskets - Exhaust gaskets - Valve cover gaskets - PCV valve - Some hoses - MAF, throttle body, intake cleaning - Oil pan half moon seals - Timing chain. Timing chain guides are in good condition and there is no rattling whatsoever - Axle seals - New KOYO radiator with lifetime warranty - Newer high pressure power steering hose - All fluids flushed: Clutch, brake, engine oil, transmission/gear oil, coolant & blinker fluid - Buffed out and paint treated the common trouble areas for this model year But it can't possibly be perfect, right? It drives, yes... but it could use an alignment/ wheel balancing The speedometer does not work. It worked on the donor car right before the project started. I have not had time to test it, but I suppose it is the speed sensor in the transmission The ABS light is on. You can hear the pump run when the car is turned on. The regular brakes work just fine though The SRS light started blinking about a week after startup. All the airbags are intact but it might have something to do with me removing the seats and turning the car on. I honestly haven't looked into this issue yet. The seatbelts work The check engine light is on and the only 2 codes point to the fuel sender unit. This should go away when the tank is filled, but I can include a spare used fuel pump unit with the sale Both bumper covers have paint imperfections There is minor surface rust on the driver side rear wheel well. I think it can be arrested and effectively stopped Miscalleneous details The interior is 2-tone tan and black. I still have the tan pieces if the buyer prefers to have a fully tan interior Has one key and one key fob I am not a salesman, just a guy who had some time on his hands. I am selling it now because I can't seem to find time for the car anymore. The car is nice, but I ride a bike in the summer and I see no point in paying insurance and registration for a car to sit in my driveway. I have other projects that I need to free up the space for. That being said, I am not trying to trick anyone. It is not licensed at the moment, so I've only made a few spirited runs around the block and let it idle extensively under load (No leaks, no overheating). I also know that I cannot make up all the money spent on parts or labor on it. I just want it gone. The car is located in zip code 52577. Buyer arranges for vehicle delivery after payment clears. If you make it here, I am open to test drives. Will add pictures, video links & more information as I remember it. |

Infiniti hires Sebastian Vettel as Director of Performance
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Remember when, during the Grand Prix of the Americas weekend last November, we told you that Sebastian Vettel had worked with Infiniti on the new G Coupe and that there'd be more of that kind of involvement on the way? It's been made official with the three-time Formula One World Champion being named Infiniti's Director of Performance.
Although the announcement is fresh, Vettel's time on the job isn't, Infiniti saying that Vettel went to Japan, the Nürburgring and the Circuit de Catalunya to assist in the development of the Q50 sedan.
When we spoke to Andreas Sigl, the man in charge of Infiniti's F1 collaboration with Red Bull, about the tie-up he had also said, "Like Mercedes has AMG and BMW has M - whether it's called IPL or not - we want to have something in that space." If the brand is still serious about that, Vettel's chops could help them deliver the kind of performance they'd need as upstarts to challenge the ringleaders of that particular hi-po circus.
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
Infiniti to get Leaf-based electric sedan after all
Thu, 31 Jul 2014Infiniti suffered a huge blow a few weeks ago when CEO Johan de Nysschen jumped ship after two years on the job to take the helm at Cadillac. As boss, he spearheaded change within the Japanese luxury brand and was among the biggest champions of the Q50 Eau Rouge. However, the company is far from sunk. Plans put in place prior to de Nysschen leaving are still on the table, according to Nissan product planner Andy Palmer to Automotive News, and that could mean a rosy future for the once AWOL LE sedan (pictured above) and other models.
Back in 2012, Infiniti promised that it would have the LE on the market as a premium electric sedan by 2014. It was supposed to share the battery pack with the Nissan Leaf but with a more powerful, 134-horsepower motor. But have you seen one on the road recently? The luxury EV was eventually shelved, but de Nysschen pledged the idea wasn't dead. Maybe now is a better time for it. According to Automotive News, the LE is rescheduled to launch in 2017 or 2018. The latest version would use the Leaf platform but with a more potent, next-gen battery to give it a range over 90 miles.
Of course, the LE isn't the only thing on the way from Infiniti; it also appears to be planning a two-pronged approach for small cars. Palmer recently tweeted that the company would build the forthcoming Q30 hatchback and QX30 crossover in the UK in 2015. Additionally, the automaker is firing up a new joint venture factory in Mexico with Mercedes-Benz; building compact models there starting in 2017. According Automotive News, the Mexican-built models will be more US-focused while the UK-built ones will appeal more to Europeans.
