1993 Infiniti J30 Touring review from North America
"I will always have an Infiniti parked in my garage!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dash lights went and after a little research found to be the Dimmer switch. I picked up a second hand one and it works great!
The headlights started acting up and I had the Relays replaced with second hand ones and they work great.
Lately however I have had problems with the Engine!! It was acting up and making some serious noises at 195000km I took it to the dealer and it blew up in their shop!! I decided that it was cheaper to re-engine it then it is to buy a new car considering I only put 8000km on it a year as a second car. Anyway I have managed to buy a second hand engine 3 years younger with 80000 less km and get it installed all for $2000 CDN. It seems to be working great and plan on driving it to it's death.
Everything else still works like new and I have never been happier.
General comments?
I love this Car!! I use it as a second car, my wife won't step foot in it for some reason so she drives her New Altima and I get my baby.
I put second hand parts in it because I am trying to keep the operating cost down to $1000 a year which I have done for the past 5 years!!
