The owner of this G35 was complaining about his G35 making "clanking" noises upon cold starts. Several members insisted that this was "normal" operating noise and that we should expect a powerful and super duper fast sports car to make some type of noise. The louder the noise, the faster the car is right?
After insisting that the spark plug gasket be replaced, Infinti Techs accidentally discovered that the motor was SHIT. When they removed the valve cover to replace the bad gaskets (will cost you about $700+ if you're out of warranty), the tech noticed that traces of metal shavings were found all over the motor.
So what many described as "normal operating noise", was actually a main bearing failure and the long block had to be replaced.
Nice quality from Infinti. So far, we know that a lot of the rev-up burns oil, most of the G's have window motor going bad, and now these Automatic Coupe also had to get his long block replaced due to an engine bearing failure.
So if your car is making some weird noise. Get it checked before your warranty is up. Don't listen to those idiots trying to play it off as "normal" start-up noise". "You drive a G35 son, it's not suppose to be quiet, so what if it's engine is clanking and your window motor don't work". It's normal.
