That's an issue on the 1st gen G35 as well. But it is the connectors under the seats that you have to pull apart and clean before putting back together. As our cars continue to get older, I bet...

Saw that on the local Nissan/Infiniti Facebook page. Pretty cool car. He says it has 300 hp at the wheels. I know someone here was making 286 at the wheels and running high 12s so this should be a...

You can use O2 sims or an O2 extender (if there is room) to eliminate a check engine light. If all your state checks is for codes, you should be okay.

Definitely go with OEM sensors. But as pointed out, you can definitely find them for less than your dealer. Hell, for my G35, the Infiniti dealer only wanted $120 each for mine.

Try manually shifting at full throttle, that increases line pressure and may buy you some time before the transmission fully gives out.

Hard part would be the transmission since the 8th gen uses that crappy CVT. Would a 5.5 gen 4AT or 6MT even bolt up to it?

If your SES light is blinking you better check the code because if it is a misfire code you'll definitely ruin the precats if you've kept driving the car.

Make sure you use a new nut when you install the bearings. Once those nuts are torqued down once, you can't reuse them, they will back off and loosen.
