INFINITI十幾年來的變化很大

That's my playground... (actually it's my garage) It's small but functional. I always do simple DIYs (only routine maintenance) here such as oil change, etc. I don't need to go to any dealer or repairing shops for M and G except tires and brakes for the last 8 years (including warranty period)...

This my another playground (a swimming pool). It's old but still functional...

In the past I always bought used Nissan and Honda cars to save money. So I used those saved money to buy this house in 2011. Now this house market price is already two times original buying price...

Conclusion : maybe Nissan is not perfect but it definitely saves you a lot of money, time and effort...


I check oil change DIY for my GSF. The oil change job in GSF is easier than my G and M.

I think the problem is that I have to remove whole engine cover in the bottom for my G and M but for GSF I don't have to.

I believe it's already much easier to work on Nissan when comparing with some other brands but comparing with Toyota, it would still need a little bit more effort...
I also check oil change DIY for GT-R.

Yes. my GSF is still easier...
Today I drove my old G35S to work. I'm still not sure why my old G feel so much smaller when driving it.

I keep checking the sizes for both G(sedan) and GSF many times. GSF is about 14cm longer and 4.5cm wider(coincidently both wheelbases are the same)? Will those differences really change driving dynamics so much. I really don't understand...

To be fair of course my GSF is also so much faster when I really push it...
I have ridden in my boss's brand new E400 AWD two times now. I really believe my GSF's ride is so much better which is stable and comfortable. I talked to my wife and she also agreed to it (comparing with her colleague's E300).

The only thing in E400 which I really impressed was its big wide panel screen. In addition fully loaded E400's price is about the same as my GSF.

I think recent Japanese cars are improved a lot (especially suspension) than those built in 10 or 20 years ago... (maybe because Germany car makers cut down their costs a lot)

Of course if you also consider the reliability, Germany cars are totally overprice...
One more experience I would like to share here...

I had driven latest generation BWM 320i M Sport for one week in Taiwan. I borrowed from my relative 3 years ago and the car was less than 10K km. I really didn't feel any better than my old G35S and M35X. The BMW was a little bit more stable than my stock M but my G(with Koni Yellow Sport + OEM sport springs + stiffer swaybars + summer tires) had much more fun than that stock BMW. In my taste that BMW with M Sport suspension was a little bit soft. (I also did many short tests on C350, 335, A4, 535, etc in USA before. The experiences were all similar but I did feel BMWs were a little bit more stable on the highway...)

Nevertheless I was impressed about the low end torque in that BMW turbo engine. But when I tried to do full throttle on the highway, it became out of steam quickly in higher rpm. So all in all that BMW turbo engine had no magic. Maybe better than 10 or 20 years ago but not much... (Because combustion engine industry is old and stable now. That's why Japanese cars are so good now...)

By the way I met my relative again last winter. She kept complaining her BMW. She said her BMW was so much slower now. I asked her that "Comparing with her previous 10 year old Lexus IS250, Which one is faster now?" Guess what? She said "The Lexus..." This is really funny?!?! Three years ago my relative said her new BWM was so much faster than her previous 10 year old IS250 when I borrowed it...
Today I checked how dirty muffler on my G, M and GSF was. Guess what? G and M is about the same(very light carbon build up). Surprisingly my new GSF is most dirty (about twice dirty). I really think Nissan engines drink more gas because they tuned more in sport mode. I also think I may need to drive my new GSF faster or hotter to reduce carbon build up...
Don't get me wrong...

In fact my GSF exhaust tips are quite clean. Just my old G/Ms' are even more clean.

The below is from my GSF...

I think the thing I don't like most in my new GSF is its brake dust. My GSF's wheels become very dirty after only one week drive. It's even more dirty than my G/M's one year use (Hawk HPS brake pads)...

In addition since my GSF's OEM wheels are big and very beautiful(with very complicated pattern), believe it or not I have to spend one hour to clean them!! But I think it's only cosmetic. So I only clean them every two-three months... (I also plan to use aftermarket brake pads in the future to reduce its brake dust)
