How you like it? I wanted one for a long time, and found this one 2011 with
50K super clean. Now is time to let the Xterra go.

I like it more than I thought I would. Love the VK50, motor has plenty of low end grunt and pulls smoothly all the way up. The steering is quite heavy, heavier than my Z (275/35/19 front tires) and G sedan. The initial turn-in was the biggest surprise, as it's sharper than I imagined very little body roll. It shares 7AT and Akebonos with Z and G.

On the flip side, this car swallows gasoline. Car seems to be stiffly sprung, and the 21 inch wheels and low profile 265/45/21 tires don't help ride comfort at all. OEM tire size has an extremely limited selection, and many enthusiasts switch to 275/45/21. Trunk is quite small. The designer believed in form over function. It's not an SUV designed for hauling furniture. Think X6, not X5.

One known problem was one of the fuel sensors malfunctioning causing gas gauge to read empty. Mine failed @ around 65k miles. There's a TSB for it and cost few hundred bucks to fix at the infiniti dealership I went to.

changed the rear tires to new OEM Potenzas

CRiZO

Finally installed the intakes I've had sitting around for weeks because of the heat. The newer AEM ones. Unfortunately I didn't realize they sent me two of the same tops for the heat shields until halfway through installation, so it's unfinished for now :/ They sent one out to me without any hassle, good customer service.

Quick review, def power increase (not huge, but noticeable), even after hooning around town after install the intake tubes were warm but not hot like metal would be. Good response, but no different than stock from what I can tell. Uses the factory intake routing.

But the sound. Oh god yes. Under throttle at mid-rpms it's a nice growl, then at the upper rpm's it just howls. That's mainly why I bought it tbh, but it surprised me how much louder it is.

Hope you are OK and sorry to hear about the car.

mishuko

Yea. Shitty cause no matter how i look at it i will be out money with any replacement. Sucks when it was all paid off and had everything dialed in just right for me

Physically i am good, mentally pretty damn short fuse.

I am fortunate those rays are strong and took the brunt of the kinetic energy. Deep down i knew it was a writeoff. Had that slight hope but after that damage i dont know if i could be 100% confident.

God-Speed

Glad to hear that you are alright. Remember, "Cars will Come and Go", hope things work out with the insurance co. as well!

madwi

Sorry to hear, man. I am glad you werent hurt.
