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 Q30 prototype has entry-level luxury in the bag

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

The Infiniti Q30 Concept signaled the Japanese brand's clear intentions to join the growing global compact premium segment. Now, as evidenced by these images, we can see development of the brand's first compact hatchback is proceeding apace.
Our spies point to the similarity between this camouflaged tester and the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class as further evidence to the cars' shared platform, although we'll admit, we don't necessarily see the similarities. The Q30's overall look, to our eyes, is like a scaled-down, lower-riding QX50, the model previously known as EX. Infiniti design elements, like its squat greenhouse, long hood and double-arch grille are all visible.
The Mercedes-Benz connection should be clearer under the hood, though, as the Q30 is expected to be powered by the same 2.0-liter, turbocharged Mercedes four-pot that's been leading the charge throughout the brand's entry-level models, namely the CLA-, GLA- and C-Class.

Infiniti prices renamed 2014 QX50 and QX80 crossovers

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Earlier this week, Infiniti revealed the pricing for its two midsize crossovers, but now it has announced the pricing for its renamed bookend utility vehicles, the compact QX50 crossover and the fullsize QX80 SUV. Those looking for a smaller luxury crossover will be glad to learn that the 2014 QX50 now starts at $34,400* (a price drop of $2,500 compared to the 2013 EX), while pricing for the 2014 QX80 will remain the same as the 2013 QX56, starting at $61,350* (*prices do not include $995 for destination).
In terms of packaging, the QX50 will carry over unchanged, but the QX80 gets a new Backup Collision Intervention system as a part of its optional Technology Package. All of Infiniti's 2014 QX utility vehicles are on sale now, but for more details about the QX50 and QX80, scroll down for the official press release.

2014 Infiniti Q50 sees 3,650 pre-sales ahead of Aug. 5 debut

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

Infiniti's answer to the hot new sports sedans from BMW, Cadillac and Lexus is creeping closer and closer to its August 5 arrival in dealerships. And while we yet can't pass judgment on the Infiniti Q50 - formerly known as G37 - 3,650 Americans are apparently ready to, as they've already raised their hands for the 2014 model.
In a pre-sale program announced at the 2013 New York International Auto Show, Infiniti gave buyers until June 30 to raise their hand for the new model. "The Infiniti Q50 pre-sale exceeded all expectations, becoming the most successful such program in Infiniti history," according to Infiniti's American Vice President Ben Poore.
A lot is expected of the Q50, available in both rear- and all-wheel-drive and with an optional hybrid powertrain. With 328 horsepower from its 3.7-liter V6 engine, Infiniti is making sure the new car packs a big punch relative to the competition. Meanwhile, the Q50 Hybrid offers fuel-sippers 360 ponies and up to 36 miles per gallon.
