@@yeb7997I’ve owned mine for 2 years. The only thing you really have to watch is the oil level. They’re older so they burn a bit more oil than the average v8 cars. Other than that just simple maintenance. Mine had 180k when I got it and now has 220k with no issues.
Ngl.. I always like the infiniti M.. I remember the m20,m30 in the 90s.. I loved how they were boxy back then.. Like my favorite maxima was the boxy one.. I think mid to late 80s
The torque on cold startup ALWAYS put a smile on my face. Definitely not a race car, but Infiniti marketing called it right when naming it their muscle car.
@@royfokerpoker1802i’ve sold mine since the comment but even up to when i sold it i had no major repairs. i would say that is definitely worth it man. especially if you like v8s
My FAVORITE feature of this car was the gear selection transmission. One could pre-select the max gear for the road. For instance, in residential areas I'd select 3. It wouldn't shift past 3rd gear and save me from getting a speeding ticket.
There not to fast I got one going to get it tuned soon u can beat all basic new cars like Honda Accord or a stock si civi any is 300 shit like that but and hr infinity will take u and anything about that I can also beat a stage one eco boost but any els with real power will take me
@@jonathengano2530 They were fast for their time but time moved on. I still like the styling though. It looks more 'gansta' than even the 300C. Too bad you can't retrofit the M56 engine into it.
I had this exact same car, so beautiful (to some), great power and sounds amazing. When I owned it I didn't appreciate it for what it was and I just compared it to the Next Generation M45 which had a lot more features. A few things though the transmission was slow to shift sometimes when you jump on it, of course no Bluetooth and backup camera, are you didn't have it active cruise control and 3D nav. The windows did rattle because of no door frame, and it was really reliable except one time I remember it needing oil. That being said I would get one again in a heartbeat oh and the rear seat was very small...
I want one of these. Hopefully I can get one towards the summer or end of the year in the fall, close to winter time. Though, I want one that doesn't come in boring colors like black, white, and grey. Too many cars nowadays on the road are in those dull colorways. 🥶
I loved the first Infiniti M sedan, made GSs of the time look out of date in comparison since playing street supremacy and TXR3 (as y34 Nissan Gloria/Cedric respectively)!! I wish they had the VQ30 turbo engine but VK45 isn't bad either.
Nissan on this model really made a good looking car. In Japan they called Nissan Gloria/Cedric (they have a better looking interior). Japan usedto have some good designs now they all goofy. 03 and before, check the Toyota Crown, etc
Bought a 2006 infiniti m45 from Charlie’s Pre Owned Auto Sales a few months ago & the car went out on me while on the highway. Worst car lot every wouldn’t recommend no one buy from his lot off Jeffco Blvd especially after he wouldn’t refund me my $3500 .
Marco Antonio I’m assuming it was on its way out and they reflashed it so it wouldn’t show any warning signs. But 3k is nothing for that car, so it was definitely fishy
Did anyone else's M45 lose engine oil? Mine would consume a quart at 1,000 miles after an oil change. Did this since new. I finally just kept a spare quart in the trunk for good measure.
Yes, these engines run at a high temp and burn some oil on startup...As long as you run fully Synthetic and Change oil when scheduled, you will have no issues. I had a 03 pearl white that drove like new with 270K. Totaled it 3 weeks after restore due to dry tires. I am currently about 2 weeks out from picking up my 2nd 03 I got from an Infiniti Dealership. Had it customized with paint/interior/performance parts. Mechanically set right from head to toe! It has 89k miles and mostly flawless body. From what I have seen so far..it looks Brand NEW! This time I made sure they put new tires on!

Hey max loved the video and the car, I just uploaded some videos of my truck today , be sure to check them considering you also own a ranger. Thanks can't wait to see more videos keep up the good work
I got 06 q45 sport I had no how rare mine was till I was talking a guy with one of those he was telling only 384 of mine were sold in U.S I like it but infotainment system is not best and I think nissan cheaped out on some of interior materials but they made up for in other areas but over all hard beat
I had one I also had a 06 q45 same engine interior very cheaply made im ashamed of nissan the m- series that came later is a much better build quality quieter ride far superior car .
I have a 2003 M45 in pearl white that I use as my daily driver. They are very nice cars with a lot of tech not found for years afterwards. The 340hp 4.5L V8 is decently quick, but the 5AT is really holding this vehicle back from keeping up with modern cars.
The transmission doesn't hardly hold these cars back. The ABS and VDC hold them back without a doubt. Disable these two systems and you have a true sleeper. Set it up with a VLSD from a 350Z and hold on.
The auto trans held this car back when NEW. It had terrible downshift lag when driving on the interstate. I had one brand new back in 2003. When you stepped on the gas, it took a full second to downshift.
IloveBaklava Lexus would most likely be more reliable but none at the time really match the performance you get out of this car for the money. A GS would cost way more. But from what I’ve seen on the forums this car is pretty reliable and solid. Just built a lil weird so most people complain about stuff inside falling apart but nothing mechanical
EElectric_M motor wise that 4.5 is a great, strong engine with plenty of power. pretty reliable from what I hear. other than minor things going wrong (heard of interior falling apart/gauges/stuff like that). owning plenty of nissan and infiniti, the one thing to worry about is oil consumption in the vq. drive a m35x now and love it. bought it with high miles but in also have a complete overhauled vq in my garage waiting to be finished to put in(heads/cams/internals/bolt ons and tune). always wanted one of these m45s, or even the last couple years of the q45.
maximus1318able That’s not entirely true. The oil consumption issue went away with the HR motor and now VHR motor. We have a ‘08 G35 sedan with 203k miles. We’ve put 75k miles on it and NEVER had to add oil! Our ‘02 QX4 on the other hand, has 202k miles, has a first gen DE motor. We’ve put 56k on that one. I have to add 1 qt every 850-1000 miles. LOL
I'm at 182500 no engine issues..just fuel gauge reads incorrect right now and turn radius is crazy making u turns but it's a reliable car if you treat it right..No way you should be fixing it all the time unless u mistreat it or bought one that was mistreated and not maintained..
The two annoying features I hate on this car are the overly yellow plastic headlights lenses that give away the car’s age, and it missing Bluetooth capabilities. If you are going to buy one, take good care of it. Otherwise, you will be spending a lot of money to fix it thanks to the expensive parts.
no, have you ever owned one? The parts are dirt cheap and any mechanic can work on it...the headlights are easy to reglaze and the performance and ride are 2nd to none
@@kizito8888 mine aren't cracked, you can easily clean them and reseal with Meguires headlight cleaner/restorer, or if you can find a place that does "clear bra", they can be permanently put clear, I have that on my Cobra, but cost $100

What idi**. Bluetooth? That is a Visteon voice control system for audio, nav, and climate. Part of the Bose Pilot system. Why speak so fast that is sounds like one word? Garage link? I've got to stop watching.. hang.it.up.
It is at first, but it grows. I owned one and was appalled with looking at it for the first few weeks, but after a while I'd catch it in a window and just look at it. It's interesting how it becomes handsome over time. But I think that's mostly from the joy of driving it. It's surprisingly nimble and quick. Porsche contributed to the design. Can't say the same for the Pilot, though hahaha
illitero god the pilot is like a ford tempo suv. I hear you on the driving dynamics. Years ago i had an onfiniti j30. Absolutely loved driving it. It was awful in snow however. Even with snow tires
I remember the first time I saw the redesign and I actually did a double take; I couldn't believe it. It was a relatively good looking vehicle; strong in design. Then BOOM. Big, gaudy headlights and an awkward looking grille. If it's any consolation on the m45, the headlights do an exceptional job of illumination. The HID cast a solid, disciplined beam, and the brights are BRIGHT and run with the low beams. I do a lot of night driving, and nothing irks me more than combo hi/lo beam halogens or combo housings that turn off the low beams when the hi beams are engaged. The US DOT ruins headlight effectiveness versus the rest of the world, and it's dangerous.
OMG. I love the J30. I almost bought one in 2004 but then didn't lol. I now have a late 90's Lexus LS400. Something about those 90's Japanese luxury cars that were very distinct. By the way the J30, and any other PROPER luxury/sport sedan are rear-wheel drive which explains poor performance in the snow but superior ride qualities on dry pavement.
Saw one driving down the highway today and had to look it up. I want one now lol
Love the way these look
same thing happened to me, except i saw it on Facebook marketplace, i'm in love now.
