Maybe a VQ30 owner can answer your question. Big difference btw the 3 and 3.5.

The sound is like a light rattle, or best described as a "ping". Is it more likely to happen when it is warm outside? Does it happen btw 1800-2500 rpm? Welcome to the world of VQ35 pinging. It is...

I agree. It's not worth having the engine pulled apart to fix something that won't hurt the engine. The cure may lead to more issues than the original problem. Interestingly, the rattle on my car...

Yes, it is covered under the 60k mi or 5 YEAR (whichever comes first) warranty. The dealer will reference the "in service" date of your car and if it is greater than 5 years, you are SOL. Sorry to to...

That was a helpful response. The towing capacity is 1000 lbs with a tongue weight of 110. Basically this is Nissan's way of covering their a$$es. For example, I used to have a Volvo 850 that had a...

He probably doesn't have any idea. He's ignorant but not necessarily an idiot. The idiots are the ones at the shop who mounted the tires.

TDot, please get those tires replaced ASAP.

And then he will be replacing the lens again. The glass lenses are very fragile and any road debris will break them. I covered mine with the 3M film and they've held out for 2+ years.
