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 readies Juke-based ESQ crossover specifically for China
Wed, 11 Jun 2014When most luxury automakers started getting into SUVs and crossovers, they started at with the largest models, but have gradually been getting smaller. Think Lexus and the LX, Audi and the Q7, or BMW and the X5, and you'll see what we mean, because each of them has been steadily downsizing its crossovers ever since. But Infiniti is going even smaller. At least, in China, anyway.
That's where the luxury marque from Nissan will soon be offering the new Infiniti ESQ. The smallest of Infiniti crossovers has been developed in China, exclusively for the Chinese market to meet Chinese tastes. It shares its underpinnings with the Nissan Juke, but instead of starting with the base model, Infiniti China has started with the more potent Juke Nismo - complete with 1.6-liter turbo four producing 197 horsepower - and added on premium accoutrements. The exterior that appears to be differentiated by a new grille and wheels, featuring the ESQ logo instead of Infiniti's, but the same quirky styling that sets the Juke apart. Though all we can of the interior is the steering wheel, you can bet that Infiniti gave the ESQ a more luxurious cabin space, too.
Infiniti's global communications manager Stefan Wienmann told Autoblog that the company is "expanding [its] portfolio not only globally but also specifically in China," adding the ESQ to a market-specific lineup that includes long-wheelbase versions of the Q50 sedan and QX50 crossover. "We see specific sales opportunities in this segment," explains Wienmann, adding that a targeted project like the ESQ "also enables us to gain experience in positioning a new premium model to the 'new millennials', a customer group that is very important to us."
Infiniti keeps us on our toes for Q50 Eau Rouge
Tue, 24 Dec 2013If you've been watching the evolving rapprochement between Infiniti and Red Bull Racing, and have wondered what the point was if the Japanese automaker didn't capitalize on its expensive collaboration with the world-champion Formula One team, then Infiniti may finally have the answer come the Detroit Auto Show next month.
That's where Nissan's premium division is set to unveil the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, a show car set to showcase its F1 involvement in the form of a jazzed-up sports sedan. We still don't have much to go on in terms of what the concept car will actually entail beyond a body kit, but Infiniti has launched a dedicated website for the reveal and with it, this teaser video. It still doesn't tell us much, but it's a cool animation just the same, so check it out below.
2017 Infiniti Q60 glitters in gold for the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog
Thu, Oct 20 2016It's that time of year again. The air is getting cooler, the leaves are changing colors, and Neiman Marcus has selected this year's car for its annual Christmas Book. The limited-edition ride is a 2017 Infiniti Q60 based on the 400-horsepower Red Sport 400 model. What really sets this Neiman Marcus version apart from the average Red Sport is the striking paint job. Called Solar Mica, the paint looks a bit like a glossy gold leaf. Combined with the Gallery White leather interior with Silver Optic Fiber trim, this is an Infiniti that would be perfect for Yukon Cornelius. In addition to the color scheme, the car comes with an ivory leather weekend bag, an indoor car cover with Neiman Marcus branding, a plaque with the VIN number, and a certificate of authenticity. Oh, it also comes with a $63,000-price tag, which is a about $10,000 more than an entry level Red Sport 400 with rear-wheel drive. Neiman Marcus will only offer 50 examples of this Infiniti, and it goes on sale at noon on November 2. Interested buyers can call to reserve one at (844) 367-6971. If you're serious about buying, you'll probably want that number on speed dial. The special edition Neiman Marcus cars tend to sell out fast. In 2009, 50 Jaguar XJLs sold out in just over four hours. In 2012, 12 McLaren MP4-12C Spiders flew out the door in two hours, and in 2006, 50 BMW M6 convertibles vanished in a stunning 92 seconds. Related Video:
