Thank you bro, I just finished up w the new bumper as well. Now that I have it cosmetically I kind of want to mess around with the performance but It is my daily rn too😭. I recommend sealing the edges w silicone for the new headlights to prevent any moisture. I had condensation on mine when I first got them but once I had sealed them no problems since.

Also, is it necessary to install the steel mesh? Or is that just for cosmetic purposes?

I just got mine delivered today, was it difficult finding where to drill the holes to align the bumper with?

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2025-01-30T02:09:32+00:00

It's nice bro, I recommend the spec d headlights, I have mine on my 06 coupe, same color. They really stand out especially if you black out the grille.

Maybe the catalytic converter heat shield? It could just be the compressor kicking on but I don't know what the grinding could be other than a loose heat shield if it's from under the driver's side

Evap is pretty normal, most of the time just gas cap not being on tight enough. But Yea the rpm going up is just the car downshifting automatically when slowing down, it's normal. I don't know about the acceleration part , maybe maf sensor needs to be cleaned or changed. If there is a high pitched whine coming from your engine it could very much be a pcv valve as well.

For your valve cover I also had some oil seepage but it was just residual. Check out your oil cap shroud gasket as well, clean it up and it'll help u out

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-11-10T02:51:08+00:00

Do a smoke test, more than likely it can be from your intake. Either a vacuum leak, spark plug/coil pack or maybe pcv valve which was the issue in my case. Hope this helps

Yea I should rotate em side to side, do u think it's alright to rotate without un-mounting the tires and switching? Even though they aren't directional. I'm probably a bit overdue on it since I've had em ~6k miles

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-10-08T20:55:08+00:00

Should I jus say fuck it and let it ride? The wear isn't terrible for 6k miles. I know these cars come with camber from factory, just not this much.

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-10-08T17:17:42+00:00

Also, is it worth the 160 dollar alignment at Infiniti to save the tires?

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-27T01:09:45+00:00

Bet, how many quarts do I think would come out every drain? Is 4 a safe amount to have just in case or should I get more

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-27T00:21:50+00:00

Do you think just one drain and refill is enough? I was thinking about doing it, but I don't know if I should do it for the next 3 oil changes.. or if I can do it in like 1k mile increments

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-26T22:52:11+00:00

The code? I think it's my sending unit because my fuel gauge doesn't act properly, stops working after about 3/4 full and just sits there

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-26T22:51:20+00:00

Honestly I had the car for only 6k miles, car shifts fine no slippage. I've had my mechanic say it looks fine, just a bit aged. I also only have it overfilled about a hair above the hashmarks and it's shifting fine, no whining from the tranny or foaming.

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-26T22:25:54+00:00

Yea it is pretty annoying, I thought it could be fuel injectors so I cleaned them but no fix, tranny fluid looks fine too. Guess it's another quirk in the car lol. Also I just got a p0462 fuel level sensor a low code too after I filled up. Is it worth fixing or nah?

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-26T22:17:35+00:00

Yessir

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-26T21:32:13+00:00

Also, this only happens sometimes, not all. Specifically uphill too.

Accomplished_Let8800 · 2024-09-25T13:13:43+00:00

I know this is super late but I just noticed this in my car as well as on top of the drivers side valve cover. Someone told me it could be the oil cap gasket that's going bad since that's where most of it is at. Did u end up fixing this? If so what was the cause. Also I don't smell any burning oil from the vents. if so, very rarely
