"Check Engine" light came on. Had it diagnosed at the dealer and it turned out to be a clogged EGR valve. I had a both throttle bodies cleaned along with the EGR valve and it is now fine.
Sunroof sticks sometimes when weather is hot or if the car (black on black) is parked in the direct sunlight. I just give it assistance and it's fine.
Driver side door panel wears through due to cheap vinyl. Should be a design flaw that dealer repairs but we are SOL. Planning on having it stitched out and replaced eventually.
Window regulators notoriously go bad. My driver side rear window sticks at a certain point (sounds like a drum roll!). Replacing myself this spring (2002).
Bose radio is notorious for problems. I have a speaker that pops sometimes (amp) and the CD player works only when it wants, usually displays "CD Err" and spits it out but works occasionally (it likes "The Cult" though, especially the albums "Electric" and "Love")
I had the transmission flushed (with a pan drop and filter change) and refilled with Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. It makes a huge difference, it makes the car shift SO much smoother. I'm also planning on adding a transmission cooler this spring. These should help prolong the life of my transmission (now have 140K miles on it).
Car handles pretty good but I plan on doing some things to make it better this year (adding bigger sway bars, 17" wheels and tires, new shocks & springs).
I don't want to make it all gangsta or ricey (not into that scene) but I love the timeless looks of this car and want to keep it around for along time. These cars are a great bargin for the money due to Infiniti's high depreciation. It's bad if you buy a new Infiniti, but its great for people like me who let the other suckers buy new!
Please post or email links on where you plan on getting the bigger sway bars or other performance mods. I'm having a hard time finding such.
Thanks.

www.quickor.com for custom sway bars..
www.coilsprings.com for custom springs.. I just lowered mine 2 inches with them, very nice ride. had the rate increased 20%
engine internals are the same as a 300zx engine code is VG30DE so parts are very interchangable as far as internals such as cam gears, cams, injectors, pulleys, etc...
Exactly what parts fit? headers, intake, exhaust???
My Infiniti J30 has done 105K Miles and running fine. Recently, I'm experiencing a problem. Some times (Generally after a run on highway, and you enter a stop signal and then start), I find the engine RPM going high, but the car never picks up. If you pedal (at 5000 PM), there is a move. When, I checked the transmission oil level (in cold Condition), it was high than the recommended level.
Hoping that, by reducing the oil level to normal would solve this problem.
Any other suggestions/observations you have.. Please share...
How much should it cost to replace the EGR Valve with a new one and clean the exhaust pipe? I need to do that in my J30.
