Here's one post showing how cheap some G owners are. This guy had one of this door actuator motor fail on him. (Quality of Infiniti). Instead of getting it fixed "right", the owner decided to go the "mickey mouse route".
---------------------------------------------------
Wha'sup peoples. So I, as many, have dead door lock motors on my 03 coupe which is out of warranty. I was pretty disgusted with the dealer cost of ~150 for a door lock motor especially since i know from installing alarms and power door locks (in college) that aftermarket door lock motors cost less than 10 bucks.
I bought this door lock motor:http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=330-010And installed it as shown in the pics below.
- I made the bracket holding the motor (.06" thick 5052 aluminum)- drilled a hole in the door handle housing for the rod to pass through - clipped off part of the plastic door lock lever
- trimmed some of the plastic ribs on the inside of the door panel to make clearance for the motor.
- Cut the wires going to the factory motor and hooked directly to the new motor. You can find the wires inside the door below the speaker (take out the speaker). I brought them out the rubber boot above the speaker.
This was the passenger door. I'm gonna try the drivers door tomorrow.
Again... cost was $5... Sweet.....

You have to give it up from some of these owners. They can't afford to get it done right, so they go the cheaper route. Again, proving my point that some G owners are cheap.
1) Mickey Mouse door actuator fix
2) Using regular fuel instead of Premium
3) Installing "fiberglass replicas" instead of paying for the real deal
4) Going to Nissan to get their oil change
5) Doing the 15k service themselves (haha)
6) Going to Nissan to see if they can get it done cheaper there
7) etc. etc.
When they purchased he Infiniti, they should have included the cost of future services into their budget and future costs of owning the G.
G35 Suck infinti suck
RICE FACTOR
G35 window motor and door actuator failing in less then 3 year? That's correct. A simple search on Google, you will see hundreds of people complaining about their window failing to work and door mechanism failing to operate. This again, is quality from Infiniti.
