xerotop: am seriously considering PORTING from my childhood fantasies(BMW) to an infinity FX45.
probably a 2006 model. am being frustrated by my mechanic.
av been carrying out so much research abt the FX. av discovered so much abt them.
and i think am going to PORT very soon.
you hardly find the FX in garages lying fallow.
for the fuel aspect of the FX, i think God will take care of dat

infinity gurus in the house, kindly shed more light on the FX especially the 45 as am so interested in that beast of a crossover

BMWs are great cars, i do not think i'm ready to "port"...i haven't driven the M3s, the 335i, the e39 540i and the 2001 740il (the list goes on...)
i test drove the infiniti G35 and it was cool, kind of liked it. I'm replacing the engine of my e46 323ci with a 330i...just wondering how the 330's 3.0l I6 215hp will match up with the G35's 3.5l V6 270hp...
What i know about the fx 45 is that it is very fast. 4.5s from 0-60mph, faster than the 4.4 v8 BMW X5.

Costee:
Not so fast. The Infiniti FX45 is 0-60 mph 6.2; while the Infiniti M45 Sport is 0-60 mph 5.8

yungboss:
thanks for the correction Costee, i think i adore the fx45 too...its V8 320bhp is awesome. I think the X5 is faster with a 4.8is 350 V8...though weightier...hopefully its a G35 for me...but how does that fair against the Camry V6 or the Honda V6?

Costee:
Infiniti G35 Sedan is 0-60 mph 6.1; BMW X5 4.8i is 0-60 mph 6.0. Personally I don't reckon with Toyota and Honda as fast cars when the chips are down.

icemann:

You both might be right if you specified the years. What year are there cars?

yungboss: How is the 2006 infiniti G35, is it an expensive car to own? Saw one and i liked it. Thinking of adding one to my family...

Ikenna351: Please, we are beginning to derail and mess this thread up. Its a Nissan and Infinity thread,not a thread to compare cars or compare Nissan with other brands.

Ikenna.

yungboss:
i think the discussion is still on track. It's all for the good of the thread, we can still compare infiniti with other cars as part of the topic...for those who seek to know the difference between infiniti and the other cars...just saying

Ikenna351: @ Youngboss & Costee,

You dont discuss Toyota in BMW thread, likewise discuss Honda in Benz or Peugeot thread. Those threads were created to specifically discuss those brands. Bringing in another brand into those thread will defeat the purpose of creating those threads with the distractions and confusion it will cause, which will eventually kill such threads.

French cars have different technology, so is Benz and Toyota. If you want to understand Toyota technology better, its peculiar issues, how best to trouble better and fix them, you visit Toyota thread.

We can always start a new thread to compare cars, as title will indicate.

Lets allow Infinity and Nissan users, admirers and experts to discuss issues, post queries and offer solutions on how best to keep their cars on the road. This thread is not different from Peugeot, Benz, Honda and Audi threads. Lets allow them please.

Costee:
I'm afraid you're the one now giving undue importance to these other brands here. All we had done was to make passing references to these other models in order to appreciate better our Nissans. A thread will die a natural death once it ceases to be important, no need pleading for it.

Costee: Timing belt? The G35 has a VQ engine. I want to believe it's timing chain. Hope to find out soon. My 6th Gen Max with the same VQ engine certainly has a timing chain, and so does my M45 with a VK engine.

yungboss:
Okpara Ugo stated it has timing belt, since i do not know about these cars...if the cars you stated above have the chain, then the G wont be any different.

For your mind, Honda Ivtec 2008 isnt a fast car. The fastest cars on Nigerian roads are Merscedes, BMW and Honda(Ivtec), the last being the commonest. If you are rich, try Hyundai (Genesis). Am a road user(long haul).
