Hello House,

I will appreciate if anybody can share the cons of Infiniti FX45 excluding fuel consumption.

Hello gud ppl.

Nissan Altima '06 auto. 2.5L

I noticed anytime my battery gets disconnected and reconnected, there's laboured gear shift;especiallywhen climbing hills.

issue usually sorts itself out after a few miles or driving cycles.

In addition, climbing hills isn't as smooth as it used to be. After gear 2, the engine would have to be revved to like 4000rpm before it shifts to gear 3 and above.

pls any idea on what's happening? spark plug related? gearbox related? pls I need help because I'll need to travel to lagos soon and I m scared of driving in such condition + I don't know much about cars' mechanical parts...


kindly note that I DONT have any other symptoms of failing gear box like: delay in gearshift from P to D or R; sudden change gearshift when maintaining same speed etc.

Hi, I don't know much about cars, but I need to resolve the following issues concerning my 2006 Nissan maxima S.E:

1. 4 tyres 245/45/18 for replacement of my worn out ones

2. AC pump hose is leaking, refilled gas twice & it all leaked out within a week.

3. My CD player suddenly stopped functioning well after the last time I travelled with the car (Lagos to Sokoto)

4. My right back tyre is touching the body & abnormally bent inwards. The car is low on this side. A mechanic once worked on it when I had a little accident & welded one broken iron rod like that, but it is now bent & the tyre has assumed an abnormal orientation

5. Car makes a lot of screeching noise when driving slowly which is usually worsened by applying brakes. I had the brake pads changed and it persisted. A mechanic told me my inner cross/crux is bad, he brought it out & it was actually bad but I couldn't get a replacement, so he repaired the bad one, I only noticed a slight improvement.

6. Routine servicing

7. After all these are fixed, I want to oven bake the car

I will very much appreciate if I can be put through how/where to get replacement parts & how to get all these problems fixed within the shortest possible time & with minimal stress.

Nissparts/costee & others, much help needed please.

Did you service engine or gearbox recently?
What oil do you use for engine and gearbox?
Have you scanned the car?

I changed all the brakes on my 2006 FX 35 recently but I still hear some scratching sound coming from the wheel during motion and when I accelerate just after applying the brakes. I have a feeling that something is touching the rim to cause the sound from the tyre during motion. Anybody with suggestion on how this can be fixed?

Which brand of "265/60R18 - All season tyre" for FX 35 is good for Nigerian roads and where can one get them. I need to change the back tyres of my car.

Finally, what maintenance/servicing should I do on the car. I did the last servicing in Jan. but I plan to travel to the east with the car next month. What should I look out for?

Check your shaft bearing,i guess the bearing is broken or the bearing rollers are scattered.

Hello House,

Please advice on the reliability of 2006 Infiniti FX45. Outside fuel consuption which am aware of is normal being a V8. Re there any other prone faults like transmission or electrical faults? Is it a durable ride? Re the parts readily available at considerable cost?

Thanks in advance

hello guys! i am about to get the nissan altima 2008 model for a 1st car and i dont know much about cars,how realiable can nissan products be generally especially the altima 08 compared to its toyota,honda,kia and hyundai compact cars 08 model

Good day all, can someone help me with this .

i've been driving my 2006 Infiniti fx 35 for the past 5years and suddenly after changing my gearbox oil with the original nissan J fuild, i observed the Drive sign "D" on the dashboard went blank, "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light came on and my throttling reduced but the engine keeps running. i parked and put the ignition OFF, it refuses to start when i wanted to put on the ignition, the drive D sign goes off, after like 10mins with many trys, it came ON and the engine starts and d car drives normal. this only happens when i'm on a high speed like 120/130km/h.
I scanned the car with my OBD2 device and i saw a U1000 error code.

anybody with a solution, cos i was told its not a gearbox problem.

Thanks in anticipation of a favorable response.

Does appear the vehicle goes into limp mode. Erase the code and see if it comes up again. The usual culprits for things like this are the cam and crank sensors, the former especially. The accelerator pedal sensor is also a possibility. What's on your odometer? Hope you had enough tranny fluid replaced? How did you replace the fluid? Straight drain and refill? If not hope some connections have not been tampered with?
I should add that there was a recall for the accelerator pedal of 2006 M45 Infiniti. The statement ran:"Over time, the accelerator pedal sensor signal may deteriorate resulting in the output of an incorrect signal causing the engine to go into fail-safe (limp home) mode. In this fail-safe mode, throttle valve deposits may cause the engine to stall when the vehicle is coming to a stop or at idle, increasing the risk of a crash."

It's an electrical problem.
Start by checking the fuse box for water signs

There's a loss of power going to the transmission ECU or transmission ECU is faulty, it can be fixed. Contact me via my signature.

Osama10:

That means I should replace the oxygen sensors too?

Just to update how far I went with the repairs.

1.All 8 plugs & 8 coils were replaced.
2.Engine filter & Cabin filter replaced.

Tried starting the car but refused to start.

2 of the 4 cats close to the exhaust were removed, car still refused to start and in the process 1coil went out fortunately I had 3 spares.

One good auto electrician was called in and he said its an electrical problem that he can fix it but his charge was only 30k.


Payment would only be made after he has done the job.

Someone said its a brain box issue.

The problem now is no error code is coming out again.

Not a very smart way to go about fixing a car.

Like a human check for vitals

1. Engine compression
2.A spark at the plugs (continuous while cranking)
3.Fuel supply (pressure must be minimum 3bar for ur engine)
4. Timing marks must be set right.



The fuel supply must pulse according to combustion sequence in the right order.

If all these are ok car will start 101per.

The auto electrician cleaned all the earth wires which was full of rusts (thanks to my brother that sold a car with so much rusts) car still refused to start.

He checked all the fuse and none was blown.So even with the exorbitant price he asked for he could not deliver.

He brought his own diagnistic tool but could not detect anything.After some further test they found out that the fuel was not entering into the engine.

They called another guy who said it was the brain box

Am a little bit surprised, can you be in motion and your brain box goes bad just like that?

So they would be getting a brain box today to see if it works.

I would be updating the house for all to see & learn from my experience also to those planning on the FX,that car na big man big wahala.

Number 2 & 3 was done in my presence.

You are in lagos I guess.

I agree with the brain box diagnosis

Ok waiting for the brain box to be delivered this morning.

Although mine is an 04 I can drop a few lines from experience.

Apart from the catalytic getting blocked & currently the brain box, its been very reliable for the last 1year.

As for fuel consumption its a V8 & the consumption its ok.

No transmission & electrical problems except the rusted transmission line from the radiator/power steering hose.If I had bought the car in Nigeria I would have thoroughly checked under the car for rusts which I could have avoided.

The parts are expensive & you can always order from abroad if the part you need is not readly available.

In port harcourt, I am still looking for a specialist for this FX.

In the nearest future I would be sticking to the common brands like the Lexus, Highlander, Camry.

The car just started after the second brain box was programmed, just one kick.

Sweet bitter experience, the remaining stuff is to trace the bad cat.

please I need to get a new Maxima 04 engine V6 3.5l urgently.

Can anyone here give me idea of the price ( full and skeleton) and if anyone has one he can guarantee pls let me no.

As for the cats now the auto medics can't figure out the exact cat that is blocked or whether the o2 sensor is bad.

I just took my car home for now,I really wish I was in lagos.

Scan was done this morning with the following codes; P1148,P1276,P0138 & P0158.

Or should I just change the whole exhaust system with a new one?

Am I missing something here? How do bad cats come into this saga? Your codes do not show bad cats. They are all related to your oxygen sensors: they're either bad or the connections are shorted. Only one sensor appears to be free, B2S1. You have two cats, might as well gut them for now.
The only thing I find puzzling though is that the code P1276 is not applicable to the VK45 engine that yours is since you have an FX45. Maybe it's of little consequence. Dunno. Or maybe the new ECM...
Out of curiosity, what's your VIN?
