DIY infinity fx37 repair

It is assumed that the owner of Infiniti reading this article does not disdain, conditionally, to get his hands dirty in engine oil up to his elbows, otherwise, we recommend that you contact our specialized service Infiniti Parts for service and repair of Infiniti. Infiniti has proven itself to be a reliable vehicle. However, any mechanism requires careful attitude, care and simple control over critical components and fluids. Of course, serious care and full control of the condition is the concern of Infiniti repair and maintenance specialists, but if desired or necessary, any owner can independently assess the condition of his car.

It is important to take as an axiom that it is better to use original Nissan fluids and oils recommended by Infiniti dealers during maintenance. The Japanese thought about everything, creating an Infiniti car and a repair base for it. Any deviation in favor of another manufacturer should not be based on his successful advertising campaign. Only the deliberate use of alternative oils and fluids may not harm Infiniti and may not result in major repairs.

Start Infiniti service by checking the levels of technical fluids, such as: engine oil, antifreeze, power steering fluid, brake fluid, automatic transmission fluid (the dipstick, as a rule, is under the decorative engine cover, closer to the engine compartment, by the way, in some G35 models the dipstick is absent with the plant - it was conceived so as not to climb by anyone :-)).

Examine the air filter, it is visible on most models. On the Infiniti FX45, the two clips' cores must be sunk into the air filter housing and the inspection plug removed. On Infiniti QX56 - only with removing the air filter cover. The air filter can be blown out with compressed air, but it is better to replace if dirty. A clogged air filter will result in unnecessary gas mileage on your Infiniti.

It is probably foolish to describe such a simple procedure as changing the oil in an Infiniti engine - it is easier to use the services of any mechanic - the procedure is simple and inexpensive. In Infiniti Parts, changing the oil in Infiniti costs 400 rubles, plus consumables. But we recommend checking the engine oil level in an Infiniti engine yourself as often as possible, especially right after buying a used car. The Infiniti engine is capable of consuming oil noticeably, especially with an active driving style - up to a liter per 1000 km. Despite the fact that 4 to 5 liters of oil is poured into the VQ35 engine in its various modifications installed on Infiniti FX35, EX35, G35, M35, with such a consumption you may not get to the next MOT. In any case, at first, it is necessary either to make sure that the engine “does not eat” oil, or to determine the dynamics of consumption and add oil between maintenance on your own or at the Infiniti service.

By the way, a large amount of oil is needed for Infiniti engines not so much for lubrication as for additional cooling of engine parts in the immediate vicinity of rubbing surfaces. Therefore, a low oil level is contraindicated. In addition, we note that the oil dipstick in some models, for example the Infiniti FX35, is extremely poorly located. Do not pull out the dipstick in low light conditions, there is a risk of not getting into the narrow, inconveniently located neck of the oil dipstick. In this case, the oil will gradually "drive" outward, and the dipstick may be lost. There is no oil level sensor in Infiniti, not even an emergency level. There is an emergency pressure sensor, which starts blinking at sharp starts and in sharp turns, when the oil level is unacceptably low (the oil pump captures air).When the emergency pressure light comes on constantly, it may be too late. Expensive Infiniti repairs are possible.

In the Infiniti cooling system, pay attention to the coolant level in the expansion tank and its color. The fluid level should correspond to the "min" mark on a cold engine and "max" on a hot one. On some Infiniti models, these marks are almost at the very day of the tank. If there is no obvious leak, add distilled water as the liquid evaporates. Do not pour in concentrated antifreeze that is not diluted with water - it removes heat from the engine poorly and will freeze in winter. Genuine blue Nissan antifreeze, sold ready-to-use. If you notice that the level of antifreeze is too high in the expansion tank on a hot engine and has a dirty brown color, you must not drive. Tow truck service for repair. This phenomenon is caused by internal damage to the Infiniti cooling radiator, when automatic transmission fluid gets into the radiator and mixes with antifreeze. This malfunction can lead to failure of the automatic transmission.

Another common Infiniti "sore" is the destruction of the engine cooling radiator. Due to the clogging of its honeycomb with road dirt, the radiator ceases to cope with the cooling of the antifreeze. Antifreeze boils at some point, and excessive pressure tears off the upper radiator cap, after which the antifreeze is squeezed out through the gap. Any owner can diagnose this malfunction, and the earlier, the less chances are to make a major overhaul of the Infiniti engine and grind the block heads.

Damage to the radiator is manifested first by a slight increase in the temperature of the liquid "in traffic jams" and its decrease when driving at speed without active acceleration. This is the first call - you urgently need to go to clean the radiator, and to a specialized Infiniti service... At the car wash, they will not wash it through the grille (lining) of the radiator, but the honeycombs can jam, which will accelerate the rupture of the radiator. The characteristic period of radiators is spring, the first warming. After winter and last year's fluff, the radiator is covered with a layer of asphalt with felt, we already wrote about this in an article on the site

Infiniti attachment belts should be changed every 100,000 km or more often as needed. The wear of the belts depends on the operating conditions. Externally, the aging of the belts manifests itself as cracks in the inner tracks. Glossy abrasion of the belt outside, whistling when starting a cold one indicate wear on the rollers of the engine tension belts. It is desirable to change everything together - belts and rollers.

Summary: Check the oil level. Change the engine oil for Infiniti strictly according to the regulations of 8-10 thousand km. Monitor the condition of the cooling radiator. Inspect the belts of the ancillary units if abnormal noise appears. On every visit Infinity Parts all operations related to visual diagnostics of fluids and belts on Infiniti are performed by our mechanics free of charge.

Repairing an Infiniti suspension or chassis yourself is not easy without a lift and a good tool. Even with a tool, no experience, the process is difficult. For example, when replacing the front hub with an Infiniti FX (the bearing is not supplied separately), it is not uncommon for the ABS sensor to break down due to non-compliance with the technological process and lack of experience. Replacing Infiniti shock absorbers is often associated with the use of spring braces. In addition, in the process of repairing the chassis and suspension on Infiniti, as on other cars, there are often cases when, when replacing one part, it is necessary to replace the associated parts and fasteners.

It is advisable that these parts for Infiniti were in a car service warehouse. Therefore, it is more correct to contact a specialized Infiniti repair service. In this case, the owner will be required, if possible, to clearly describe the symptoms of the problems and the conditions for their occurrence.For example, the appearance of a knock when an Infiniti starts abruptly, a knock when hitting an obstacle with one wheel or two. Sometimes, when repairing a suspension, even the weather matters, say, a silent block or a ball joint can creak in dry weather and not show itself in damp weather.

All these nuances will tell an experienced mechanic a lot and help make the right conclusions when diagnosing Infiniti. It makes no sense to hide the results of diagnostics in another service, if they were - you should not waste the time of a diagnostic mechanic. If the car has already been diagnosed, share the results with the mechanics. These results will either be confirmed or reasonably disproved. Experienced Infiniti Parts mechanics diagnose Infiniti's suspension and chassis, starting with the vehicle's known weaknesses. For example, for Infiniti QX56, G35, M35, M45, FX35, FX45 these are wheel bearings. Each model has its own characteristics, for example, for the Infiniti QX56 and FX45, knocks and vibrations during movement can be caused by the universal joint shafts. Repairing Infiniti propeller shafts requires skill and special tools. Running gear and suspension diagnostics at Infinity Parts is free of charge. At the same time, repair and maintenance of the Infiniti suspension is carried out for a reasonable price.

It is better not to get into this system without special knowledge - Infiniti is not famous for good brakes anyway. Diagnostics of brakes boils down to determining the wear of brake pads, brake discs, checking the performance of the calipers, and inspecting for brake fluid leaks. The maintenance of the brake system includes: replacement of brake pads, replacement of brake discs, buildup and lubrication of calipers, replacement of brake fluid with pumping the brake system. To an experienced craftsman, the nature of the wear of the pads will tell you a lot. For example, excessively increased wear of the inner pad, relative to the outer one, indicates "sour" caliper guides - maintenance or repair of the caliper is necessary.

Brake discs need to be replaced due to vibration during braking. You should not save and wait. The result of these vibrations will be the destruction of the wheel bearing, the appearance of play in the steering rods and tips. Brake disc groove is a temporary measure. The metal changes its structure at the chemical level. You can replace brake discs with original ones from Infiniti or with perforated brake discs from other manufacturers, for example Stillen, Rotora, StopTech (the main thing is not China). At the same time, one should not expect a miracle from the perforated brake discs, with a particularly active driving style, and they will begin to "beat".

Braking systems with an increased diameter of the brake disc, preferably with "floating" brake discs, the so-called sports braking systems (Big Brake Kits), can correct the situation and save from vibrations. Infiniti Parts supplies and installs sports brakes to Infiniti from such well-known manufacturers in the sports world as StopTech, AP-Racing, Brembo, Endless, K-Sport and others. On the part of the owner, it is desirable to monitor the condition of the brake pads (visual) and brake discs (runout appearance).

The Infiniti steering does not need regular maintenance. It is necessary to control the power steering fluid level (GUR). The Infiniti QX56, for example, has a known problem with the current power steering hoses. Other common faults include: backlash in the steering tips and tie rods, backlash directly in the steering rack, wear and "biting" of the steering shaft crosses. The rods and ends are not repaired - they need to be replaced. Steering rack repair, as a rule, does not bring long-term results, therefore Infinity Parts recommends changing the rake. Periodic alternating force that occurs when turning the steering wheel of Infiniti is usually associated with a malfunction of the steering shaft crosses. The repair is reduced to replacing the crosspieces.

Infiniti transmissions include: automatic transmission, transfer case, front and rear gearboxes, cardan shafts, CV joints.Self-repair or non-professional repairs, as a rule, lead to the replacement of units. Diagnostics boils down to detecting backlashes, fluid leaks, assessing the condition of CV joints anthers and oil seals of transmission units. The correct operation of the automatic transmission and transfer case is monitored using the Consult electronic diagnostics.

Repair of an Infiniti automatic transmission is possible only with the participation of high-class specialists, otherwise it is cheaper and faster to replace the automatic transmission with a new one. The transfer case also does not tolerate a non-professional approach. Infiniti Parts repairs Infiniti automatic transmissions and transfer cases, as well as replace these units with new ones. We will diagnose and replace, if necessary, cardan shaft crosses, CV joints anthers or CV joints themselves on Infiniti. When diagnosing and repairing an Infiniti automatic transmission, not only technical malfunctions, but also malfunctions of Infiniti electrical equipment and wiring often "pop up".

The most unpleasant thing is when an amateur “rummaged” in the faulty wiring. Nevertheless, newly minted electricians fearlessly insert "bugs" instead of fuses, insulate the wiring with tape instead of high-quality insulating tape, lay wires right under the feet of the driver and passenger, covering them with a rug on top, etc. At the same time, car owners do not suspect that "inexpensive" work performed can lead to serious problems, up to a fire in the car, and at the most inconvenient moment.

Recovery after the simplest ignition will cost tens of thousands of rubles. By the way, it is easy to explain the low price for electrical repairs from some would-be specialists. This is saving on insulating materials, installing low-grade blocks, laying cables over carpets - it saves time, although it is unreliable. It is clear that no one will save on themselves, therefore, the cheapness of repairing electrical equipment and wiring is determined by the quality of materials and laying methods. By the way, the standard Infiniti wiring is always hidden in a protective plastic case wrapped all over with electrical tape - inexpensive electricians avoid this painstaking and long occupation, laying wires without additional insulation and protection.

High-quality installation of additional equipment, such as DVD, Ipod, TV in Infiniti, repair of electrical wiring and standard devices is within the power of a high-class specialist with extensive experience, moreover, with experience in repairing Infiniti electrics. Such work can only be performed under the conditions of a specialized service for the repair and maintenance of Infiniti. Infiniti Parts employs competent electricians who are able to diagnose, using dealer equipment and their own knowledge, Infiniti electric faults and repair electrics of high quality.

Only a few owners will be able to independently qualitatively repair Infiniti, and even fewer will want it. Therefore, a good alternative to “do-it-yourself” repair and expensive Infiniti dealers is repair in small specialized Infiniti repair and maintenance services, such as Infiniti Parts. In this technical center you will be offered a full range of Infiniti services, an individual approach to each client, a human attitude, along with low prices for professional diagnostics, maintenance and repair of Infiniti. Call us +7 (495) 662 47 47, and we will answer all your questions.

Are you looking for experienced technicians with modern equipment and quality spare parts to entrust them with the repair of your Infiniti FX37? Our service center offers you honest and quality service at a reasonable price.

Stylish and powerful car Infinity FX37 is popular among compatriots. If you become the owner of such a vehicle (especially bought a used model), remember - it needs systematic and high-quality maintenance.The fact is that Americans practically do not pay attention to their vehicles, and most of the used cars come to us from the USA. Especially often it is required to repair the engine and automatic transmission.

• Professional diagnostics of systems of Infiniti machines of any year of manufacture using modern computer programs;
• High-class tuning, regardless of the level of complexity of the order;
• Any types of maintenance of cars produced by the Japanese concern Nissan & Infiniti;

Using computers in the diagnostic process allows you to identify serious problems at an early stage and thereby prevent the need for expensive service. In addition, we can prepare your car for sale - after the elimination of even minor defects, its cost will be an order of magnitude higher.

The specialists of the "Speed ​​Laboratory" company carry out chip tuning of the new generation Infiniti FX37 naturally aspirated gasoline engine in order to programmatically increase the power and turn off the catalysts (engine flashing for Euro 2).

The operation of the Infiniti FH 37 engine is controlled by the Hitachi MEC100xxx unit

Chipping of the Infiniti FX37 engine is performed with the removal and disassembly of the engine control unit. The ECU is located in the passenger compartment in front of the passenger behind the glove box.

When dismantling the ECU, for safety reasons, the power is turned off - the battery terminals are removed. The battery is located under the hood.

Before carrying out work, our company performs computer diagnostics of engine systems - it is impossible to take a “sick” car into work. Only if engine problems can be solved by software methods, for example, errors in the catalytic converter.

The OBDII diagnostic connector is located under the steering column.

Reading the factory firmware is done with soldering to the ECU board. For reading - from the front side of the board:

As a result of flashing the ECU of the Infiniti FH37 engine, throttle response is improved throughout the entire rpm range, mainly at low and medium speeds, the thoughtfulness of the gas pedal decreases - it becomes adequate with any presses, the maximum engine power and torque increases within 10%.

A software removal of the catalyst was also carried out - disconnecting the oxygen sensors after the catalyst (second / lower lambda probes). Thus, the engine is reflashed to work for Euro 2.

Chipping time of the Infiniti FX35 engine - about 3-4 hours

Physical removal of catalysts takes at least 4 hours

The cost of work can be found in the section "Prices"

Today's photo report will be about the repair of the VQ37VHR motor.
This engine was developed on the basis of the VQ35HR, the main differences were in the cylinder head: a system for changing the height of the intake valves (VVEL - Variable Valve Event and Lift System) appeared. The unit has been installed since 2007 on Infiniti QX70 / FX37, Q60 / G37, Q70 / M37, QX50 / EX37, as well as Nissan 370Z, Skyline V36.

Came to us for diagnostics after purchase and subsequent repair of Infiniti FX37. The owner complained of an extraneous knock in the engine compartment, which was more pronounced when the engine was cold started. Traces of non-factory sealant were visible on the front cover, respectively, the engine was already "climbed". The knock was most distinctly heard in the area of ​​the left cylinder head.

We remove the engine and look for the cause of the knock. To remove the motor, it is necessary to disassemble the front suspension, remove the front axle, then the motor is lowered together with the automatic transmission.

We remove the front cover and see the new timing chains. For what reason they were changed is unknown.

We wash the parts and see the wear of the crankshaft journals, the development of the camshafts (especially on the left in the left head) and cylinder head beds.
We come to the conclusion that the knock was due to the beating of the camshafts.

Now you need to find the reason for these consequences.
There is no wear in the piston-cylinder group.

We open the oil pump - it is badly worn out.
Since the upper camshaft of the left cylinder head is the farthest accurate lubrication from the oil pump, accordingly, it was most susceptible to wear due to a lack of oil pressure.

Due to the presence of the VVEL system, the intake camshafts for this engine are not supplied separately from the cylinder head, there are three options left:
- purchase of new cylinder heads
- restoration of camshaft necks and cylinder head beds by spraying
- purchase of a used cylinder head

We chose the most optimal option from the above: we found a used cylinder head from a car with a mileage of 17,000 km at half the cost of new ones.

The crankshaft was polished to fit the repair size of the liners, the heads were disassembled, washed, the valves were adjusted - now they are like new.

We install a new oil pump and assemble the engine.

We hang the attachments, connect the motor to the automatic transmission and install it on the car.

Now a car with a revised engine will delight the owner for a long time!

The main version - the previous owner missed the oil level, there were chips in the system, which damaged the pump, and then everything led to such consequences, and replacing the chains, of course, did not solve the engine problem.

We recommend that you periodically check the engine oil level and, if necessary, top up on time - and you will avoid premature wear of engine parts!

The guarantee was given, of course.
The condition regarding the purchase of new spare parts is quite rightly noted.

5 thousand rubles The full cost can be said by the owner of the car, and I can say the cost of work, additional services and materials that were used, as well as a list of spare parts required for repair, which he mostly purchased and paid for himself. Adding the cost of labor and third-party services to the cost of the spare parts list will give you the answer. Moreover, the prices for spare parts are constantly changing, today one price list, tomorrow another.

Hello everyone and happy newcomer!)
I am the owner of a repaired car.
I confirm everything that Oleg wrote in the report.
It all started like this: https://my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/352/showthread.php?t=59258
(there is a link to recording the sound of a knocking motor)
How it happened that “it” was inside the motor - apparently we no longer know. I am the second owner. Well, okay, that's not the point.
The motor is currently running normally, running in.
Many thanks to Oleg and his guys!
I can recommend this service to all date growers. Thoughtful approach to the problems of the machine, the absence of "razvodilov", the desire to minimize the costs of the client, in general, everything is human. The only thing - it took two months to repair, well - here it also depended on the arrival of spare parts.
Oleg, thanks again, including for the report!

I bought a used rusty head for 20,000, Oleg wrote the cost of the work, the rest was spare parts. In total, 140 came out.

Next, the motor is disassembled.
I'm at home, a call from our minder:
- removed the cylinder head, the reason was found
- what's the matter, I ask?
- you will see at once you will understand everything! I didn't touch anything.

I call the owner of the car, we agree to meet at the service. It is necessary for the client to see everything personally, to be able to consider, to ask questions. Well, I decided what to do next, it is necessary to discuss further steps.

I'm coming.
We see the following picture

Some kind of epidemic is sticking out in the oil channel! Through this hole (there is still a restrictor inside it) oil is supplied to the cylinder head. This is the reason for the knock, the oil flow was practically blocked.
Here is the counterpart

The foreign object looked like some kind of rubber gasket. But how did she end up in the oil system? There are no gaskets in it. Moreover, this engine has a minimum of gaskets (only cylinder head gaskets, valve covers, all sorts of seals in the upper part, most of them on the sealant), but there are no such in principle.

This is not a gasket, this is a check valve of the original 15208-9F60A oil filter

There are more than a lot of such cars. I'm talking now about a situation when the owner drives into a normal, seemingly well-known studio.And at the exit he gets a kind of trash. Moreover, depending on the talent of the managers of this company, the owner can travel for a long time and think that everything is in perfect order. What is better than it was. But, nevertheless, something torments the soul. somehow everything is not playing well. And the quality of the installation is not up to par.

And so he comes to us (or - to any other company that professionally deals with car sound, and does not glue vinyl, does tinting, and at the same time puts car sound). And we are dealing with the problem.

Usually, I do not publish the names of the companies from which the client came to us. But in this case, I deviate from these canons for two reasons: a) the guys proudly hung their license plates on the car, on which the name of the company can be seen; b) the system is so collectively set up that there is no strength to remain silent.

So this is the Infinity FX37. The client supplied the audio system to Pro-service.cc. I hope that those who installed this system have already been dismissed from this company.

• carry out a full diagnostics of the installed system and offer options for its improvement
• install a new 5-channel amplifier and implement a "channel" on the front speakers (Alpine PDR V75)
• add rear acoustics (from the standard amplifier)
• install the sound processor and correctly remove the signal from the machine (Audison Bit ten + DRC)
• modify the case of the stealth subwoofer
• make and install a new bezel covering the subwoofer
• repaint some interior details in black with piano lacquer
• install a stationary recorder with 2 cameras (Incar 982)
• vibration-proof 4 arches outside

and here is the frame. The most important thing in the work of a tuning studio is what? Hang up the frame

Infiniti has a good (from the point of view of 99% of owners) Bose audio system as standard

what is this. and this is a subwoofer, which is pasted over with a piece of bitoplast (noise insulation), and next to it is a false panel covering the 4-channel amplifier installed there. And also, pasted over with bitoplast

the plastic will not snap into place. We thought it was a jamb of the assembly, but it turned out to be worse - the subwoofer case interferes with snapping.

and these are the settings on the standard system. Pay attention to the RF level. They are removed to minus, and at the same time, there is still a LOT of high frequencies in the car. Cuts the ear. At the time of the initial inspection, it was not 100% clear what the problem was. Considering that the Hertz tweeters are in their regular places, under the glass, I made the assumption that the audio signal was incorrectly removed from the standard system and this leads to such results. It turned out to be right.

disassemble the trunk and find a 4-channel Hertz amplifier there. Not a bad amp, by the way.

the food is really not implemented quite correctly. And the minus is taken from the seat belt bolt. This is the level of a garage setup, not a professional studio. And the cables, frankly speaking, are not. Budgetary ArtSound

let's look at the positive cable. Wow. flask from Mystery. It says a lot ..

and this is how the signal is removed from the OUTPUT of the Bose amplifier.

and this is not all trash. The guys might not know that in Infiniti the amplifier gives out a cut signal and distributes its ranges to each speaker separately. But to find this information on the Internet (for example, our report on "dancing" with the same problem in the previous Infiniti FX37, which we did) is a matter of 5 minutes. Those. the result that we see is 100% unprofessionalism. Installed without turning on the brain.

but not only was the signal incorrectly removed from the standard system, the biggest surprise awaited us a little later. We saw HOW the signal goes from the new Hertz amplifier to the new Hertz acoustics. The guys took the signal from the output of the new amplifier, fed it to the crossovers of the front acoustics, which they placed next to them and sent a signal to the new speakers ON THE STANDARD WIRING.

Those. in the front doors and in the dashboard there is a new Hertz, which is connected via standard “noodles” to the crossovers in the trunk. It's something with something

the dummy panel that covered the amplifier is a regular sheathing, onto which a couple of layers of glass mat were put and then pasted over with bitoplast. I have not seen this even in horror films. Even in the "Wheelbarrow for pumping" and then they do it more seriously

the rear doors are equipped with standard acoustics, which we change to a new one as agreed with the client. At the same time, we leave it connected to the standard amplifier (according to the standard wiring). We are just doing a new "sound" on the high-sensitivity budget CDT Audio CL61CV acoustics

front acoustics (midbass) is on a normal podium. There are no questions to the podium

and this is how the signal is fed from the standard Bose amplifier to the Hertz. High level

the speaker wiring (non-standard blue wire) is soldered to the speaker terminals without any protection. but this is not the funniest thing.

the fact is that a piece of a new blue speaker wire is a fake. It goes inside the door to the connector and there it ADAPTED to the standard wiring. And then - as I wrote above - the standard wiring goes to the crossovers in the trunk. It's just beyond my comprehension

the door trims were finished like this. Only vibration

we put another layer of noise insulation and glued the perimeter with Antiskrip

The client was also sold a service called “Vibration Isolation of Arches”. He asked to check. Checking. Remove the liner. empty

only on the fender liner itself - a piece of vibration isolation

We make our own version of vibration isolation of arches from the outside. find 10 differences

reinstall the adapter rings of the front acoustics on the glass sealant. Is free. It's just that if we improve, then everything is everywhere.

the rear acoustics are installed according to all the canons. Glass sealant, bolts

new power supply of the new amplifier. This is now the flagship 4Ga Stinger. And plus and minus - from the battery to the amplifier

the amplifier and processor fit into the right side of the boot floor. on a two-story podium

processor control panel - in the glove compartment

new wiring - speaker cable from Stinger

direct passage through the standard connector

we solder the cable to the speaker using silver-containing solder and close the contact group with heat shrinkage

and here is the reason why the plastic sheathing did not snap into place. I had to cut off about 4 cm from the body

behind the body, the sidewall looked like this. Nothing

put a layer of vibration and noise insulation

inside - a special material that kills standing waves

in its place. plastic snaps. all ok

but the problem is that the standard casing is shamelessly damaged by previous installers. Deciding to make a new one

the new false cover not only covers the subwoofer, but also the arch

covered with beige eco-leather

The client asked to repaint the standard plastic, finished “under a tree” using the Aquaprint technology, in black

no problem. We have a paint brushes next door. Paint it black and cover it with piano lacquer

we collect plastic and get a stricter interior

We also install a stationary 2-camera video recorder that writes a picture in FullHD /

Here he is - the registrar himself. Modern China is striking, of course.

Infiniti, Nissan's luxury brand, is relatively new. A highlight of the brand is the stylish sports crossovers of the FX series. Today the Infiniti crossover line is represented by the FX35, FX37 and FX50 models.

The content of the article:

The first Infiniti FX series SUVs appeared in car dealerships just ten years ago, during which time two generations have changed, and the latter have already undergone easy modernization. The younger model, the Infiniti FX35, did not undergo major changes, the FX45 was upgraded to the FX50, and the FX37 model was created especially for European buyers, the second generation of which was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2008. Infiniti FX37 has been sold in Russia since 2009.

An interesting fact, the entire FX line is made in Japan, but not sold in the country.

Exterior and interior

Since its inception, the Infiniti FX37, however, like all models of this series, has been distinguished by its unusual appearance and stands out in the traffic flow thanks to its original exterior.

Japanese designers have created a truly revolutionary body design for the car. The "station wagon" body, habitual for crossovers, was presented by the designers of Nissan in the form of a fastback, which is characterized by a long hood and a "cap" of the cab, shifted back. An integral feature of the fastback is also a sloping roof, visually reinforced by a steep arc of the upper line of the side glazing and round, powerful wheel arches for wheels with a diameter of 20-21 inches, depending on the configuration. The sloping roof gives the vehicle a stylish and dynamic look. And even though the exterior of the FX37 cannot be called beautiful, the car turned out to be very unusual, harmonious and attractive.

Front of the car with narrow slits of headlights and a wavy radiator grille for the sake of improving aerodynamics evokes controversial feelings. The chrome-plated side deflectors installed behind the front arches, in addition to an aesthetic effect, also have practical benefits, they divert air flows and reduce the vehicle's drag coefficient by 5%.

Car dealerships offer Russians a premium sports crossover Infiniti FX37 in six trim levels. The most popular in terms of the number of sales is the sports modification of the crossover - the FX37 S, on the description of which it is worth dwelling in more detail.
The car interior cannot boast of special spaciousness, this is especially noticeable to passengers sitting in the rear seats. There is practically no free space above your head.

Salon interior leaves a pleasant impression, the trim details are made of soft panels and high-quality leather, a lot of aluminum inserts, stylized as wood. However, this trim is typical for all Infiniti models.

Comfortable front seats have a sporty profile and a sufficient number of adjustments, including the degree of lateral support can be changed. The seats are heated and have three-stage ventilation.

Front Panelmade of resilient plastic has a typical Infiniti look. The steering wheel and gear lever are covered in leather. The small three-spoke steering wheel is comfortable and multifunctional. Under the steering wheel are magnesium switch paddles covered in thin leather, which are accessible to the driver from any position of the hands on the steering wheel.

Salon it is visually divided into two parts, presenting ample space for the driver and passengers. The rear seat provides passengers with maximum space in all directions, but only on the condition that there are two of them.

Trunk for FX37 relatively small, its useful volume is only 376 liters, but if the rear seat is folded down, then the maximum volume reaches 1305 liters. The fifth door is equipped with an electric drive, which is a nice little thing that was not on the previous models.

For the safety of the crew in the Infiniti FX37 S Airbags and curtain airbags and a whole range of systems are responsible, including anti-lock braking system, systems for even distribution of braking forces, dynamic stabilization, emergency braking assistance and traction control.

Infiniti FX37 has surround view system AVM, not at all superfluous for a crossover. It allows not only to make safe maneuvers in limited conditions, but also makes it possible to look under the nose of the car while overcoming a steep hill and even see the car from above.

In addition, the Infiniti FX37 S car is equipped with a rear-view camera, electric drive and heated mirrors, light and rain sensors, parking sensors, cruise control, an on-board computer and a two-channel audio system.

In 2012, a small facelift of the Infiniti FX37 crossovers was carried out and in the middle of the year the updated car went on sale at dealers.

All Infiniti FX37 S cars delivered to Russia have one power unit under the hood - a V-shaped six, developing 333 hp, aggregated with a seven-speed "automatic". Engine allows you to accelerate a crossover weighing more than two tons from standstill to 100 km / h in less than seven seconds. The intelligent ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system allows the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system, which transfers part of the power from the rear axle to the front axle, to fit into corners and safely get out of skids. In this case, the system itself decides at what moment and how much to redistribute the torque between the axles and, if necessary, can independently brake the wheels.

7-speed automatic transmission Shifts gears quickly and almost imperceptibly. The automatic machine works very quickly, if necessary, forces the engine to re-gas and drops two gears down, giving the car powerful acceleration.

But the main highlight of the FX37 S is the CDC suspension system, which significantly improves handling, vehicle stability and braking performance. The system has two working options - sports and automatic. When operating in Sport mode, the system firmly grips the suspension, thereby sharpening its response to sudden accelerator pedal pressures.

In Auto mode, the car moves smoothly, even somewhat relaxed - heels, crouches, nods. But as soon as the driver presses the gas pedal, the automatic mode imperceptibly turns into a sports one.

Most owners of Infiniti FX37 are almost unanimous among positive qualities of the car remarkable acceleration dynamics, perfected handling and precise steering responses on a good road, an audacious and fantastic exterior and, of course, a large number of options that make the trip pleasant and comfortable for the crew.

Among the disadvantages Car owners of Infiniti FX37 note low ground clearance, poor off-road ability, poor handling in rut conditions on asphalt surfaces, stiff suspension and high fuel consumption.

On the body and interior, the disadvantages include the lack of space above the head of the second-row passengers, the lack of heated rear seats, a small trunk and poor sound insulation.

Among other disadvantages, many note an unimportant rear view, beating and incomprehensible sounds from the brake pads during heavy braking at high speeds, as well as a high transport tax and expensive insurance.

Despite the noted disadvantages, it must be said that the Infiniti FX37 is a luxury vehicle for people who want to stand out from the crowd. And for those of them who can afford to buy Infiniti FX37 for use, the cost of CASCO or the amount of tax is not at all important.
