Budget? I'm also in the same boat as you user. Check out dem Lexus gs300

They are very good. No complaints really.

Always wanted want of these. Watching this thread.

Willing to spend 5000 max.

Can do my own basic maintenance.

Only thing i'm concerned about with the m45 is how hard it's going to be to put a head unit with bluetooth into one of these cars.

...Not hard at all.. Like an hour tops.

Any common problems on these things to look for?

Really? You're going to ruin your dash so you can add fucking Bluetooth?

Just bushings and shit. General maintenance stuff. Nothing too crazy.

Oil consumption, gas gauge goes bad so the whole cluster needs to be replaced.

You have a better option? What, am i going to pretend it's 1998 again and make mix cds?

Or should i slum it out with one of those tapedeck/aux cord things.

You goddamn right i want bluetooth, and an EQ and maybe i'll even put better speakers in it if i fucking well feel like it.

Just make sure your pcv is clean/new on occasion. And if you have oil blow by, that's just bad rings so prepare for engine replacement. The m45 naturally burns some oil, owners just need to keep an eye on it.

Yes. Tape aux adapter is better. Keep it simple stupid

Fair enough.

Wouldn't wiring in an aux jack be a better idea?

How is parts availability on these things?

If there's a connector on the back of the radio.

Infiniti M45 is the best car i've ever fucking owned. i shit you not, it has more features than any other luxury car. it's got voice control, nav, adaptive cruise control, COOLED SEATS! (and heated), dual zone climate control, 340hp 333lb feet of torque, automatic head lights...there's no reason to buy one...they are reliable as fuck. I fuckin love my car.

Transmission is pretty shit.
Motor burns slight oil.
Try not to do breakstands or donuts.

Otherwise, comfy barge with power and glorious Nipponese V8.

How does it compare to a lexus l400?

I like my Y34, is camfy and rolls out alright

Also
>VK45 sounds good without resonator or muffler

>dipped wheels
trash.

A buddy of mine bought one of these new in '03 and it drank oil consistently the whole time he had it.

Smaller than the lexus
Much smaller back seat. (Cedric is for miniature japanese people)
Faster than the lexus in a straight line.
Interior isn't as nice as Lexus
Harder to find car or parts than the Lexus

Get a gs430 or ls430. Forget this Nissan bullshit. The ghetto assholes got ahold of these cars back around 09 and ruined them. Get a Lexus.


Don't forget the larger Q45

Ignore him, a few hours of work is well worth the convenience of bluetooth.

desu this gen m45 (2003-2004) i always see in nigger tier condition outside of apartment complexes

Dirty white paint
Those long gouge like scratches on the bumper corners
plastic guards underneath hanging down
but muh infiniti

objectively trash with a bunch of gadgets that originally distinguished it from its competition, now defunct/irrelevant/ common feature in a modern day shitbox besides the (innovative) cruise.

After doing a bit of research the M45 seems to pull oil through the pcv system into the intake.

Looks like to mitigate that it needs a catch can installed inline with the pcv.
