Hey guys,

This is my 1st post. (Newbie) My name is Javier and I'm currently living in Houston Tx. To all of you Texans, and new forum friends, Hi!

I would like to introduce myself as new proud owner of a 2008 FX35 :smug:
Just got it yesterday with only 30K miles. It has all the packages I couldn't spell right... Technology, Sport, Hands Free, Touring Packages.
I believe that I got it in a good deal. It is a Infiniti Certified Per-Owned (CPO) with only 30K miles just for 28K. Yay or Nay? Carfax is clean clean clean. I added extended CPO warranty to 8yrs-120K. Everything is covered, from electronics to motor-transmission. Anyway the deal was done :tup:

The FX is for my wife.
We just bought it because the family is growing (one lovely daughter) and we have a '07 Nissan 350z, and I just dreamed of having an FX (that exact color and model, my wife wanted a white) because of the exhaust sound. Yes, that simple. Same as a G35c and/or350z.
*I tried to upload pictures but I have to wait until my 10th post.

So iS members, Hello! and Thanks for such a great place to read, learn and maintain up to date with everything for the Fx's and Infiniti Lot.

If you know anything that it is a Must Read right now, please let me know :iS:
-Javier

Welcome to the scene. There are a few tsb/recalls that you might want to review. Congrats on the fx.

Welcome to IS Javier. Since you already have a Z, maintenance work will pretty much be the same. go to Nissan stealership more often than Infiniti stealership. and since your wife loves the sound of it, install a nismo exhaust on your FX.
 
Welcome to the site Javier, nice pair of rides, a Z for he and an FX for she :tup:
 
Thanks!!

Yes! I read that you can use Nismo Exhaust in the FX but there's a type of extension for proper fitment. It is an aftermarket extension?

Welcome to the scene. There are a few tsb/recalls that you might want to review. Congress on the fx.

How bad are these recalls? Something to be worried?


Again, thanks! :tup:

haha! Yep. The Z finally is paid off and now modding. I just want to maintain a clean look so I will go with Nismo V2 Kits. Already bought Nismo V2 Bumper and Nismo Exhaust.
 
just to name a few, but feel free to search that section:

* odo adjustment, if your fx is qualify
* bubbled up dashboard / replacement
* bluetooth mic adjustment
 
the extension is at the exhaust tips.. just take it to a muffler/exhaust shop and they should be able to do it!

You'll also need the mid pipe extension (if it doesn't include one from a G coupe) or have a shop extend the arms on the Y pipe.

Thanks, I will take note of that and begin a research here. Again, Thanks.

+1

totally forgot about that... thanks bro!

Ok, then I believe that Nismo Exhaust will wait for couple of months. But yes, I'm in love with the Exhaust tone, it is kind of more deep than the Z and I am freaking able to hear it while driving! WIN.

Welcome, and enjoy the ride! Think the wife will let you drive it? :)

Ha!!! It is funny GroundFX, because I am literally arriving from Walmart and you know what, SHE DIDNT LET ME DRIVE THE FX to Walmart...


This afternoon I had to tell her that I was going to take the FX for my 1st Sunday drive and as soon I got home, she was kind of stressed asking why did it took me so long, with a tone of a joke but really wanting to hear an answer. I was like WTF? :eek.:
 
Finally! I can post pictures!!

This was when doing the process of selecting the ONE at the Infiniti Dealer.

This was when taking the FX out of the dealer. Yep, my wife, the Boss.

She looks HAPPY! Welcome! She should join too! What are you driving? You should get a 2nd FX for yourself! :)
 
Maybe you should trade in your 350Z and get a white FX like your wife wanted, and take this one for yourself.
 
Yeah, we are extremely happy. :) The definitely is the FX is the best.

Thanks for the welcoming

Well, the 350z is paid off, we don't want to get rid of the car. It is in great shape. It is a 2007 with only 18K miles and very very clean, -detailed.
