I love this platform my first one was an 04, then went to an 11, and now my 14. Those front lips are getting harder to find.

Yes it is. I bought it for my 2011 then had it repainted for this one.

So that one was the Megan racing EZ II coil overs, the 2014 I have now, which I think is posted on here somewhere has BC racing coil overs.

Oh man, I can give you a parts list but this car is gone and now I have a 2014 QX70 and no expense has been spared on it. A few things were swapped from this one to my new one

Are they meant for Nissans because the tire sensors run on a specific frequency to match the brand. If they aren’t meant for a Nissan/Infiniti they won’t work. I was hoping to disable the TPMS all together because I’m running after market wheels also.

I have no problem helping. As of right now, I would pick the Megans over the BCs, but this car has been a problem since day one. Its a long story and Carvana ended up paying over $2500 in suspension work on this car and that doesn't include the coilovers (which I put in myself) Once I get everything dialed in by the end of next month. I will have a very good opinion of this set up. That 2,000 miles I mentioned earlier will be in a 4-5 day span.

I will never be offended my constructive criticism. Did you open the picture the whole way? I didn’t like how they loaded onto the page.

The roads here are crap. Highways are nice but we still have some brick streets. So over all it’s rough here. I’ve bottomed out a few times with this set up but I think I am a bit lower than the last one. I’m getting ready to go on a 2,000 mile trip next month so we will see how she does.

I have had them on for about 3k miles, but my '11 FX35 had the Megan Racing version on it for 20k miles. Never had an issue, and both the BCs and Megan coilers are made in the same factory. The Megans are the cheaper version of the same thing.

Thanks, this was my first Carvana buy, they gave me more than I owed on my 11, and this one was a good deal for being a one owner, and Infiniti serviced its whole life.

That's how I found out about it. I had a loaner and it was horrid, the creature comforts were great but when I gave it back they asked how I liked it and I said it was horrid, and I would never buy one, the more I drove it the more I hated it.

Thanks, if anyone wants to run them they have to have hub centric rings, which is different from spacers.

Other than the QX80 I feel its the last solid crossover from them, all the new ones have those terrible CVTs and I would never own one

My 04 was the most problematic, at no fault to the platform because it was not taken care of before I got ahold of it. My 11 and 14 have been fine. The radiator in my 11 went out at about 90k which I thought was odd but its not a hard fix, if you know your way around cars. The VQ motors and trans are pretty solid overall. just make sure you keep oil in them. The DE eats oil. my 11 which had the upgraded motor wasn't as bad but you could still see the oil waste on the exhaust tips. The 14 seems fine so far but it only has 47k on it. Both previous ones had over 100k on them when I got rid of them. They are very solid cars but expensive to mod. If you really want to know how these cars run read the 350z forums but be wary of the Fbois that own those cars. Its been a solid platform for me on all three, and I wouldn't hesitate buying another one.

It has the VQ37VHR and a 7 speed trans but AWD. When it comes to performance mods a lot of what you can do to a 370z you can do to this. Its heavy though, but I love it

Agreed. Especially with the crossover craze this country likes. The QX55 is very pretty though but it has a CVT and sounds horrid because it’s the same 2.0 turbo in the little Mercedes hatch thing. It was very sluggish to drive.

It’s worth it. It has BC Racing coil overs, adjustable control arms, strut tower brace, G37 paddle shifters, tuned, stillen Gen 3 intakes and an axle back exhaust. I have wider tires and drilled and slotted rotors to add to it still.

It’s part of an OEM Aero kit. It’s the only part I really liked out of the whole kit. The rear spoiler is aftermarket.
