1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I looked at Infiniti's part site and they're welded on at the factory. It's all one piece.

 

If it was my own car, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But this is someone else's nice $50k luxury sedan.

 

If this is what i found when looking up the car

 

That's a 2006, this is a 2007 M45. I mistyped, my bad.

It's a 2006. I am dumb.

 

You wrote 06...

 

Actually I lied. It is 2006.

It's been a long day... I spent six hours in 101 degree heat inhaling diesel fumes and dust.

 

I get the same for a 07

 

That's bizarre. Infiniti shows it as one piece with the exhaust pipes.

 

I'll figure it out when I get back from my vacation. I'll go take a visit to my local college and mooch off their AllData in the parking lot.

 

Is it v6 or v8?

 

v8. M45 only came in v8 if I remember correctly

 

It aint worth shit if it can't pass smog.

 

Weird that site is saying v6. Let me look at some other places

 

It's a really damn nice car. The interior looked it came out of a modern Bentley. Wood grain, glossy trim finish, hand-stitched tan leather seats and accents, touchscreen infotainment center, ... And it's twelve years old.

You're right, it's not worth shit until it can pass Smog. Same case with my Civic - which is probably fine it's just none of the Emissions monitors are ready.

 

This is what i get on infinity site for the v8 @BartMaster1234

 

2006 Infiniti M45?

Huh.

 

Changing the cats is the easy part.

Finding out what caused the engine to run in open loop in the 1st place is going to be the bitch.

 

Who knows. I want to say it's just wear-n-tear, but I don't know anything about this kind of thing. It only has 160k on it.

As long as the check engine light goes away and it passes the tailpipe test, that's all it need to be on the road for two more years.

 

06 M45 with the vk45de

 

@BartMaster1234 it has 4 cats btw
