      @@abdullahbouhamdan9666 well my first was a BMW at 95k miles going to a 350z was a huge step in reliability. Personally I think the 350z is very reliable car. The transmission is smooth and from what I’ve read stays good until 250k miles maybe even more if you don’t do stupid things all the time. The engine is the bullet proof VQDE engine. The models after 2006 uses the VQHE engine which put out a tad more power but both are still great. And they sound great too. The 350z is also super cheap to fix and I got my car at 89k miles and the only things I’ve done was change the oil filter and the oil as well as the air filter. Nothing major at all. Overall the car is quick, reliable and probably in my opinion one of the best affordable/reliable sports cars you can get. The oil and engine temperature stays consistent all the time, your never gonna find yourself getting lights or getting in limp mode unless you or the person before really have hammered the car with high mileage. Overall it’s reliable, fast, fun, good looking and affordable. I totally recommend getting one. Preferably 2006 and above.

    Bought a 2003 Fx45 last fall with 196,000 miles and it is rock solid. Absolutely love it. I live in southern Utah and it makes for an amazing canyon cutter and handles mountain passes just as well. Amazing in the snow. I love being able to afford a sport luxury suv (even if it’s 18 yrs old) after owning way too many ‘starter cars’. All of the basic maintenance and even the replacement of struts, etc. is super easy and relatively affordable for parts. The main issues with these is dash bubbling and door actuators.

    That big Nissan lump was also used in the Renault Espace people carrier in Europe. Great engine, the only problem was that a couple of the spark plugs were really difficult to get at. No problem sir! they are long life plugs. But many people who thought they had picked up a second hand bargain soon found that they needed them doing (at vast expense). Presumably they are easier to get at in a large SUV engine bay.

    Hey Scotty! Thanks for the review. I sold Infiniti’s back in 2003-2004 when these models came out and the FM (Front Midship) RWD based platform with the 3.5 liter VQ engine was one of the most reliable and best handling value luxury cars in the market. I now own the latest and last Evolution of the FX35 on this platform (2017 QX70 Limited). It’s still on the FM (RWD) platform with a normal 7-Speed transmission and I see no Renault influence. There is no reason why this latest model is any less reliable. In fact, the 3.7 Liter V6 is much improved from the 3.5 liter in many ways. Do you have any experience with the newer model and can you tell us if you have seen any common issues on the QX70?

    • @elitespeeds6278
      @elitespeeds6278 3 года назад +3

      There’s been a lot of complaints with the clunkiness of the 7 speed at low speeds and hunts for gears too much, more so than the 5 speed in the 1st gen. Also, that 7speed that is also found the in g37 and the 370z are known to give out when the car is modified to produce more power. When looking at the q50 RS everyone points to the transmission as the biggest fault.

    Hey Scotty, why did my lower ball joints wear out so fast? I have a 2007 Pontiac G6. I replaced both lower control arms and ball joints 2 years ago and they are already worn out. Did I install them wrong? Did my worn out struts over-stress the ball joints? Is it because I put on wide tires? The car came with 235/50-R17 and I replaced them with 245/45-R17 at the same time as the ball joints.

  • @donmathias1705

    The thing lots of people do not understand is that tight packaging in engine bays make heat dissipation difficult and over time compact units degrade components simply because they are dealing with elevated tempartures. heat soaks down wiring and affects electronics, insulation breaks down and carbon can choke up internals much easier. Rear wheel drive have another huge benefit, the load on the tires is shared out much better. front turn and brake and the rear do the driving. One spirited session on a front wheel drive car can overheat your front tires and ruin their life.
