purchased a 4th gen 97 gle black on tan 6 months back. carfax certified 82k miles 1 accident no major" girl said parking lot fender bender." for my fiance. i have done all the proper maintence on it and i am really impressed with the maxima.
im gonna start driving it and buy a bit newer nissan maxima or infiniti i30/i35 for her.

i have been researching VQ30DE-K and VQ35DE

i could imagine the VQ30DE-K being great as its a tad beefed up version of what i have ,and im pleased with. but, the bigger VQ35DE is tempting aswell, but the oil burning and other issues ive read about on here make me a little hesitant.

now i have learned that the i35 received changes in 04 to compensate for the oil burning issues from the 02-03 models

i actually have found an 04 i35 locally.

i was wondering if you infiniti guys think i will face the oil burning/precat problems if i go with the 04 i35?
are these problems common in the 02 03 models and not the 04?
i bought a lemon once not going that route again.
