Owned my 2009 Infiniti FX50 for 18 month so far. Here is what I have spent on the vehicle.

[@MSMgamer190]

The Fx's are timeless. I have a 2009 FX35, and I still smile everytime I drive it. Recently had to replace torn factory Rear differential bushing, dealer wanted 6K, I DIY'd it with the kit from Z1 for $100, plus toolkit. There are times when I wish the ride was smooth like before, but on acceration I love it even more!

[@Darkskindiplo]

Could not agree more. I have a 2010 FX35 and it’s incredible. This is my 4th Infiniti❤

[@hestillsaves]

I have a 2009 with 41,000 miles on it. I bought it with 14,000 on it, drove it to work for a couple years and then retired. I have owned several of the predecessor cars, the 240z, 260z, 280z, 280zx, 300zx, fx45 and the the king of them all, the Fx50S. I love my car but sadly have to sell it to to disability. Thanks for your video.

[@HardParking]

I am sorry to hear about your disability. And wow, talk about low mileage!! Although mine has 150,000 miles on it, I barely drive it because I work from home. I have put maybe 25,000 on it in the 3 years I have owned it.

[@bigjoewebb]

Im enjoying my 09 fx50S, i watched your video prior to purchasing mines, (thanks for the help) 267k miles and so far brakes, tint, 26 inch wheels, and a radiator is all I've done...🙏🏿

[@HardParking]

Those wheels sound legit.

[@bigjoewebb]

@@HardParking I was DEFINITELY skeptical about them, but they fit perfectly!!! 💯

[@fatsmile77]

The Fx50 is timeless ….This was the peak of Infinity. Owner of a 2k10🎉 for 7 years and it makes me smile. I have 1 inch spacers on all corners. It made the stance kick more ass!! Give it a shot …it’ll put a smile on you face. I love them headlights, them are fire💯✌🏼.

[@HardParking]

I do have 25mm all around. Seems flush in the back, a little poke in the front. They say 25 rear and 15 front is the way to go. But I also bough the arch extenders (haven’t installed) so it will look pretty good whenever I do it.

[@Andygriffenjr]

Bought my 2009 fx50 s at 29k miles 3 years ago. Have 81k on it now. Had it tuned at Z1 motorsports. Power steering hose had to be replaced. Replaced the radiator. Suv has been wonderful and fun.

[@HardParking]

Curious about how that tune went. Did you do anything else before the tune?

[@kevinknotts6337]

That Infiniti OEM Aero (aerodynamic) kit gives the car a whole new look. It costed me quite a bit and it took a while to find all the OEM pieces and had to have some painted to match. Almost impossible to find the OEM pieces though. The aftermarket kits just came up short to me.

[@HardParking]

I still haven’t put on my front bumper or front aero. It’s been too hot but it’s finally cooling down so I’ll be able to complete this overhaul and update this page.

[@lucasvinicius-go9nl]

Your videos explain everything in detail!

[@scotttan6377]

2009 fx35 owner w/209K ; 5th owner . car was well taken care of . major repairs since 1 yr of ownership - passenger front wheel bearing , radiator , and a getting a second key fob . future repair - front passenger window regulator possibly going out , driver heating/cooling seat doesn't work (turns on for 4 min then shuts off ) , no longer has the TPMS stems. Back arm rest strap missing , but able to bring it down with a wire hanger. Hoping to figure out a workaround. Overall , still happy with the purchase.

[@HardParking]

Mine only came with one key fob as well but so far I haven’t bought a second one. I know one day my laziness is going to catch up to me.

The real victory here is that you're in the greatest state in the country.

[@ahmadmelhem1499]

This car design still look modern and amazing, I am searching for fx50s and unable to find clean one, most of them had accident

[@HardParking]

Yeah the older they get the harder it is to find a clean one.

[@ericboateng1832]

I have 2005(2nd generation)infiniti fx35. Still running without issues. Such a built by infiniti. I feel sad they have discontinue production of this amazing models. Most car makers have tried to copy but none compares. Amazing.

[@HardParking]

I had a 2007 before I bought this 2009 a couple years ago. Loved my 2007 as well.

[@zachf6256]

Thanks for the info on the rear differential and power steering related issues. Currently in the market for a 2nd gen. 35/37/50 With regards to the power steering…hoses/pump and rack…I am currently in the midst of researching any type of upgrade to ensure a resolution to their issues. It appears the G35/37 have upgrade kits…curious to know if there is any continuity with the application.

[@HardParking]

You’ll find a lot more on aftermarket support and parts for the 35/37 than a 50 or 70.

[@zachf6256]

@@HardParking Excellent info! Really appreciate the reply.

[@goattbe111]

Man i love this car dawg!!!!

[@HardParking]

I’ve had some annoying issues but it’s less about the car and more about prior owners unfortunately.

[@user-bl5mw4yk9x]

How you doing my guy. Just purchase a 2009 fx50 s with 92584 miles. Thanks for your review great help. I was wondering where did you get your headlights? And does yours have Bluetooth. If yes Where did you get them?

[@NOFAPC]

I had one enjoyable never wanted to get rid of it had major plans for mine …. Parts for that v8 was rare

[@HardParking]

Yeah it’s a bigger issue than I ever imagined. There’s zero aftermarket

[@sudorelabs4901]

Great Video! Could u go into depth on the Nismo kits?

[@HardParking]

They aren’t really Nismo. They are OE offered for one or two of the later years I think. They seem to be called Nismo on like eBay and stuff but they are factory.

[@ChristopherMcSween]

I own a 2012 FX35. Love the vehicle. Looking for those headlamps. Please share. Great video!

[@czabatrans4420]

Great video, where can I get these headlights please? Thanks

[@HardParking]

There is a link to the lights in the prior video "DRL Full install video"

[@DigitalSubset]

Where did you go to get the power steering hose rebuilt? A local mechanic or Infiniti dealer?

[@HardParking]

Dealer. But since then they started making the hose again

[@E510-m9r]

Where did u get your head lights they look really good 💯👌 I have 2012 that would like to make that purchase

[@HardParking]

I did another video installing the headlights, the contact information is in that video description. You will need to open up the lights and do the install. If you are not comfortable doing that, there is usually someone in town that provides those services and in some cases, probably online as well. It’s a cool unique and refreshing but not TOO MUCH look.

[@stasisthruchaos]

Love your videos. Please, where did you find the black grill??

[@HardParking]

Believe it or not. on eBay. Finally a great OEM looking grill is available.

[@stasisthruchaos]

I have searched Ebay but did not find one. Do you have a link?

[@HardParking]

@@stasisthruchaos hi Brad. I searched as well and right now I’m only pulling up the black ones with red border. It’s that same brand. I would set a saved search for notification.

[@demri123]

If u can find one, the 2017 QX50 is similar to this, but with vq37 v6. Still 330hp ...

[@HardParking]

QX70 you mean?

[@mackfar27]

I really didn't see anything wrong with your vents. I say, save your money.

[@kennyjevonbryant]

You need some mechanic friends that’s alooooot of money gone. Rear diff can be done and purchase from whiteline for $70. Solid mounts and have them pressed in. Everything else is waaay too much but great you got one

[@HardParking]

For the most part yes. But the 50 rear is different. If it were a 35, you can get away but buying 350/370z parts. It’s the pro and con of owning a 50.

[@chillintm]

I’ve got the FX35 and have same dilemma with replacing it- what else would check all the boxes for the price?

[@HardParking]

Exactly. I just took it in to get that rear fixed too. Not sure I can feel a difference, I probably need near bushings all around and it’s not like these cars ride like clouds anyway.

[@Dellon-y6u]

where did you get the headlight from

[@HardParking]

The link should be in the description, if not, I have another video of the install, it has the link

[@allminegod]

what camera are you using 3:33 ?

[@HardParking]

This short video was all shot with my iPhone 14pro max but in cinema mode. It gives that f-stop depth look.

[@stsgal]

2009 FX35 with V6 or 2013 FX50 V8 with +- same mileage, what would you choose? Heard that V6 is more dependable and cheaper to fix.

[@petartrifonov8823]

Stay away from the 35, better 37.

[@HardParking]

Definitely cheaper to fix and modify. I don’t know about dependability.

[@stsgal]

What if it is 2015 Infinity QX70S, but has a 220000km, is it worth considering?

[@HardParking]

Sorry for the delay. A lot of people say these cars last a long time. But it all depends on how well it was taken care of before you get it.

[@bryandejesus1154]

What head lights are does called?

[@whumph]

How many miles are on this fx50?

[@HardParking]

I bought it at 126K, I'm up to about 142K

[@whumph]

@@HardParking nice. Sweet ride!

[@yehudagi5701]

Anyone knows if there's a difference on engine parts between 2009 and 2010 models for fx50, particularly on valve cover?

[@HardParking]

I am sorry I do not know for sure. In theory, there should be no difference.

[@skid126]

Why’d you pick this over a m56?

[@syedhussain3810]

cause its so unique if you see anything like this on the road thats a copy of it, because this one is one of its own kind. I m going to buy one soon.

[@lucasvinicius-go9nl]

what value of fx50 2011?

[@skid126]

Depends how many miles obviously 😂
