I love you used the excuse of this being "educational". Just to get out and play in the snow and have a little fun. Good stuff
Lol. "Hey guys, just heading to the college parking lot. I've got a little research & documentation to do"
Gd Ole Faithful Infiniti Vehicles....I Love Them All
Oh man! Perfect opportunity to do some MAD drifts LOL
Those lamp poles man. Good lighting but they increase the chances of this becoming a Fail Army vid
I like that you did this, thank you. Just picked up a 2012 EX35 AWD. I live in Michigan so.... Did yours not come with a "snow" mode?
Thanks for your support, it's still one of my favorite videos to watch.
Speaking of sedans, back then they didn't offer a snow mode. Then when the snow mode came, it was initially only offered on AWD vehicles. Finally, the 2011 M models came with a mode selector that includes the snow mode, and eco as well as sport.
That's really very little snow lol. If you where in heavy snow, you'd probably need to turn the VDC off in order to move decently. In an AWD model, VDC is pretty much a must turn off feature in snow or dirt.
I'm literally debating right now whether or not to buy a Q45 today. I currently have a 2014 GS350 and a 2006 LS430,but the Q45 was just always a luxury car I drooled over when I saw one in traffic. Thanks for your videos!
I bought just a week ago 😄
I wouldn’t recommend it there’s no aftermarket for the suspension struts are almost 500 a piece go for a m45
Good vid I need some M action too
The weather hasn't cooperated. The cold has been bitter, but not,much snow. Well, we got some surprise snow this morning. I guarantee if you have decent tires on the M it's gonna do the same thing as the Q
@@EdBwoy Sweet do you still have the 56 (Hoping to see the Snow Mode in action)
@gsxellence I still have it, but it's gonna be a cold day in hell before it sees snow, hehe.
In a basic sense the snow mode acts like traction control shown here. Use it when snowy or wet, and it reduces the engine response. The main purpose is to avoid spinning the wheels.
@@EdBwoy Ummm hmmm. We need more 56S life... I'm waiting :)
Ed, my Q45 has nearly 200k and runs phenomenally. My only issue, which seems quite common is the VDC/Slip/ABS light combination. Still runs really well, good gas mileage, etc...
But, living in Indiana, I feel like its important that I resolve this prior to winter. From what I gather, many times it's caused by the camshaft sensor. Before exploring this as a fix, I wanted to ask you if the absence of TPMS sensors could cause these lights to come on?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, just as I appreciate your content. 🙏
Indiana? Nice, I moved here recently. The car is a beast in the snow, but of course requires a fully functional stability system.
That combination of lights is not typical of the TPMS sensors. That usually just pops the horseshoe after about 30 miles of continuous driving.
In these cars, it *usually* doesn't follow the cam sensor either, but again that sensor fails in like 77 different ways, so I encourage people to just replace it if the history is unclear...or carry a good spare.
The most likely scenario is a bad alignment. But again, make sure all 4 corners have at least the same tire, your brake fluid level is OK, and very rarely a damaged steering angle sensor/on the clockspring, ABS pump, ABS fuse. You get it, the possibilities are endless, lol. I like to start with the cheap/free diagnoses and fixes.
If time is of the essence, bite the bullet and pay for a proper diagnosis from a dealership that will tell you exactly which component has failed so you don't waste money on replacing the wrong part.
Got a 01 infiniti i30t i love to death great car have abs slip an tcs light pain in ass really !! But car runs an drives fine evem has good power but i try to take it easy on her 150k
@@snowfall1771 only in the snow though right ? Like on a dry street it shouldn’t come up
@@lilsticky-3972 hahaha nope on dry pavement must be senser ....
I once had a j30, driving on the hwy late at night and hit a puddle. The car did a 540 and stopped facing oncoming traffic. Everyone stopped 🤣 made a u turn a continued about my business.
Damn! At least we can laugh about it now. See, if you had had VDC... There wouldn't be a cool story to tell.
@@EdBwoy 🤣🤣 I'm just glad it wasnt in the middle of the day
@@andrek5533 nope! I wouldn't wanna see the wall coming at me either. Lol
Yo I just started driving 3 months ago not gonna lie😂😂 and I bought a 2003 Infiniti m45 and it snowed in Washington these past couple days and I turned vdc off and start drifting 😂😂 I realized when I was at stop lights I would get stuck hellllaaaa or trynna get out of a parking spot but when I turned off vdc it was much easier to get unstuck
There you go! I am glad the video was of some help.
And that's a really nice car to start with, so have fun and stay safe out there.
In My 06 M35S I Turned The VDC Off To Do A Burnout Someone Said Only One Wheel Was Spinning Is That Normal With Infiniti RWD Vehicles???
Lol, yup! They have open differentials. Some G35s, G37s came with limited slip differentials to allow you to burn both tires.
I touched on it in part 1
Is it me or the car I got a M35 it always sound like it want to race🤔🤦🏽♂️
Lol. Well, they do have nice exhausts. What year is your M?
07
You've got the VQ35HR engine, HR for high revving. It probably behaves way differently than an 06
@@EdBwoy I think the 08's came out with hr. I have an 07 and it has the vq35de.
Lol, the comment above mine has been edited. It probably said a different year when I gave my response back then.

😔🎥 camera personnel probably take a snow day. could have been a good video.
I have an 08 M45 S, worst car in the snow I've ever owned, second place isn't close. lol
What kind of tires do you have?
@@EdBwoy I'll have to check the brand, bought them on ebay, think they're a Firestone off-brand, great overall tires, but horrendous in snow. The issue I seem to have is the build up of ice and snow in the wheel wells.
