2006-2010 INFINITI M45 Review | Things to know

[@304Hibachi]

The RWD M35s last longer and ride smoother than the Xs. I own a 2006 and a 2008 M35 that both are RWD. My wife and I love both of them and have 0 problems out of either, only did oil changes, full tune ups, belts, batteries, brakes and tires on both. Never even had to replace a starter or alternator or anything else on either one. The 2006 we bought with 81k miles and its currently at 243k running perfectly. I do drop pan and loosening around filter trans fluid exchanges which drain 8 to 9qts of fluid every 30k to 40k, I also do Antifreeze fluid flushes at same interval when I change spark plugs during tune ups. I only use OEM fluids and plugs as well. The 2008 M35 we bought with only 43k miles from 1 owner that garaged it throughout retirement only putting 7k miles a year on it. It is currently at 92k and im doing my first full fluid exchange and spark plug change tune up along with replacing both belts for 1st time. I see no reason why its wont go strong to 300k as well. These are special cars that will go strong to 300k or more if you do OEM maintenance every 30k to 40k and change oil every 3k. I do not recommend changing oil every 5k or more because it will cause Q engine too start burning oil if you d I that. I only use royal purple oil and filter too. Long live the M35 M37 and M45!!! A legend in the car game 🗿 Infiniti Gang Gang

Does the 08 45 have snow mode or it’s only awd

[@milesbachelor6872]

Noticed on the startup. Sounds great, but cranks with a lag. I have an ‘08 M45, changed to an X2 AGM battery in last winter. Consistent EXPLOSIVE start, then purs. Can’t even tell it’s running. Love mine too. Thanks for the video.

[@Blackice850]

Another neat feature to mention is holding down your unlock button on the factory fob rolls all the windows down, including the sunroof

[@motown1970]

Check your fans. My 2006 M45 kept overheating with the AC on. It took it happening for several months before I figured out it was one of the fans. When your AC is running, both fans have to be on. When your AC is off, one fan is all that’s needed to keep the engine cool. I changed the fan relay, a fan control module and a engine temperature sensor for nothing. So, just turn the AC on, if only one fan is working, you will need a new fan assembly.

[@shawnc757]

Mines had the same issue. Ended up being a faulty ecu

[@Vq_trap]

@@shawnc757the ecu to what?

[@anthonym5646]

I purchased my 06 M45 about two yrs ago with 150k Miles’s I now have about 190k. It’s been a solid car. I changed the valve cover gaskets, plugs coils, cam shaft sensor, radiator, and fluids. Oil consumption is about. 1 quart between 5k changes.

[@2greedy307]

How is the gas? It’s $84 for 20 gallons😭

[@anthonym5646]

@@2greedy307 lol honestly the gas mileage sucks, and that sounds about right. I average 15-17mpg. If you keep your foot out of it, it’s a little better

[@wowthatsinteresting8951]

I need a video on modifying/upgrading the stereo

[@jeflores1000]

Any input on the M56? Great video by the way,always wanted a 03 m45 or 08 m45

[@Chrizleyva]

Dope cars for sure never had one but can't go wrong with a 5.6

[@bleulewchi7491]

I've only seen a couple M35's..No other M45's are in my area and I like it like that 💪🏿..They're really rare as you said.

[@Chrizleyva]

Yes I have still only seen 1 in my area

[@bleulewchi7491]

@@Chrizleyva They're kinda rare and I didn't know that when I first got it...Long story short: and this has happened to me a few times,,When I'm riding around in it,,guys that's in the Infiniti market will pull up next to me at a light and give me a thumbs up to tell me "that's a nice @$$ finni"..I still get alotta looks and stares.. They call them sleeper V8's and they're absolutely right.

[@PepperStayOnGrind]

There’s so much m45s/m35s in my area that I ended up selling my m45…

[@bleulewchi7491]

@@PepperStayOnGrind where I live they are rare..I haven't seen another yet,,I've seen a couple of M35's and that's it..I guess different regions they were popular.

[@Blackice850]

I've had my 06 M45 since 08..Bought it with less than 30k on it, and now has over 225, original engine amd trams, amd still has pretty of snatch.......Regarding the 4.5, it really shines whej you're driving at highway speeds, then step on it...That MF moves to 'only' have 335hp......Still plenty quick.....Enjoy yours and never let it go.....It'll be a classic

[@Chrizleyva]

Yeah man I love the car it's really an eye catch and nice machine

[@The_Reaper187]

Did you hsve to rip dash out to change to the blue hud?

[@Chrizleyva]

No just move the steering wheel down to get clearance

[@Vk45-CMC]

Keep up the vids got the same exact car as you🔥🔥🔥

[@matthewb266]

Love my 07 M45 super fun 4dr

[@Chrizleyva]

🙌🙌🙌

[@Ohhpoee]

Where did you buy the oil pan from ? And does it have to be that exact one ?

[@edgarmendez3690]

When it gets hot it is because it has air in the radiator and engine system. You have to vacuum it with a cone that Auto Zone sells.

[@Chrizleyva]

Trust me fam I did it multipe times and it only gets hot when it's over 115 degrees outside I think its just to hot in arizona lol right now since it's winter no issues at all

[@JuanRamirez-ew1yz]

Hi there maybe is not the case, but I put an engine on a 2011 Toyota Rav4 the rav had 260k miles and I put 100k miles engine, so after that the car start running very well but like u said after a high temperature outside my car goes on high temperature lavel too., so I tried to find stuff on KZbin I did what they said but not fix the problem., last thing I did I change cathartic from front and back, and problem resolved, that was it

[@liblib89]

My main complaint about the powertrain is the same as yours, these cars would be rockets with 7-speed auto! You get much more aggressive gearing

[@Chrizleyva]

Yeah I agree 👍

[@tarriouscarr2503]

How much was the new engine you purchased for it?

[@Vern559]

Thanks for all the info in the first few mins

[@v8ncenzosaviano813]

I'm going to get a fuga 450gt type s next week is basically the same car unfortunately here in Japan is impossible to find new parts

[@nawmean]

There's a 2003 with 60k for sale near me

[@y50raymond16]

I've had a 2006 m45s since 2016 drove it for mules and miles and never had any oil consumption issues..done burnouts..rolls..pulls ect and never had that issue so idk bro maybe it's most of them but not all?

[@clippa10]

Tune it upriver If you need more speed and power pops and burble and flames

[@Chrizleyva]

I may do it in the future not sure yet tho

[@jaeeaton]

It’s clean bro frfr 💯

[@paladain55]

i'm surprised you have so many issues. the Nissan Titan/Toyota Sequoia/Lexus LS/SC/etc... are all bulletproof and burn no oil and will do 300k+ easy

[@Chrizleyva]

I think it has alot to do with how this car was taken before I got it

[@Blackice850]

These M45 are notorious for oil burn and Infiniti even had an engine replacement program where if you consumed a certain amount of oil within a given timeframe, they understand replace the engine, no charge......Google it😊

[@nighthawk0077]

If you're in the market for something like this you may as well grab a G35 Sedan with HR or G37 VHR. Lighter, faster, revs higher and more fuel efficient. Maybe this has more luxury or better ride, not sure.

[@Nerey1997]

Aint nothing like a v8. Nothing can replicate the sound

[@yomarshell153]

@@Nerey1997my shit sounds like a Japanese rocket. And the m45 refs up to 7k rpm’s

[@Blackice850]

Its all about that V8, plus G35s and 37s can be had as rental cars.....It appealed tonthe masses, no thanks.......M45 holds a special place

[@nighthawk0077]

@@Blackice850 Infiniti makes a better V6 than V8 IMO, but to each their own

[@Blackice850]

@nighthawk0077 , I actually agree with that, but again and I'm speaking fir me, I personally can't get excited about a rental.....It's like once cars become a commercial fleet, it loses some of its luster.....Over saturation of G's

[@elfino23ify]

Get hi flow cats

[@Chrizleyva]

For the m they don't have much options as the headers have a cat already connected I would only be able to change the y pipe foward unlike the other infiniti and nissan platforms they are seprate

[@ganglandlandlord9870]

Remove cats it hogs a lot of power

[@Chrizleyva]

Ima sure it does but don't want the car really loud lol

[@Blackice850]

Plus here in Ga, I still have to get emissions yearly
