Hi, it's been a while without posting here. Recently it rains 2 weeks here and I got a problem. When trying to start, the engine goes to about 1100RPM, then smoothly down to 0. Is it the idle air control valve problem?

wow...that's cool

central diff locked, front axle locked, rear axle locked, if 3 wheels are freely spinning, the last wheel would take 100% of engine torque Is it true? I thought it is 25% only

that looks awesome, put this in my to-do list..

Update after 4 hours...(no edit function here?) after a bunch of google and phone contact, i got 2 part# GMB 220-0046 which is directly interchangable to NEAPCO 10029 GMB GUN46 which is NOT directly interchangable to NEAPCO 10029 Diameter 27mm Total length 72mm I have no idea what the difference is.

Dear fleurys, I try to contact GMB taiwan for the u-joint but seems not available here. http://www.carid.com/2003-infiniti-qx4-driveline-axles/item-7897565.html Now I'm going to find cross reference. Do you have diemnsions and diameters of this u-joint?

Hi, I remove the shaft 1 hour ago and the ticking noise never happens again. So what should I replace exactly? The bearings only?

Thanks to all of you. Is any risk to drive without front propeller shaft? I'm going to do as fluery said. Bruce sent from taiwan

Yes! You are exactly right. However, from page 4 of the PDF, which is the u_joint? Also, I don't think mine is adjustable. What is the purpose to have adjustment? In fact I never see Infiniti Taiwan give grease into front propeller shaft. Bruce sent from taiwan

The noise is like clock ticking. Bruce sent from taiwan

sorry, wrong section this should be in R50 Does anyone know how to delete or move this topic to the right section?

Dear all, i'm facing a weired problem now, it's noise from car bottom, louder with car speed. I went back to Infiniti Taiwan, the mechanician told might be front propeller shaft issue. There is unusual tolerance. So far I have 3 ways to do 1. close window while driving pretend nothing woring 2. warn manual hub 3. replace whole shaft, infiniti quotes about US$800. Mine is 2001 QX4. http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/QX4/2001%20QX4/Propeller%20Shaft%20&%20Differential%20Carrier.pdf Need your opinions on it, thanks.

good. i'm thinking about doign the same.

My QX4 has rear LSD and everytime if I U-turn too fast, same feeling as you happened.

My first time to see a light in that position, cool...

Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt these discussions. What is the ratio to convert MPG & KM/L? There are 2 results from Google, some say 3.x liters per gallon but others say 4.x liters. Here in Taiwan we don't use gallon or miles. My 01 QX4 runs about 8KM/L highway and 5KM/L city. What might be the number of MPG? Thank you very much.

I have a 2001 QX4 with 2 inch lift on 265/75/16. When I go offroad, okay not really how tough offroad, the front bumper hits almost every rock on the way. It is good looking in city but not good in wild.

I lose some mpg when my roof is on, -3 maybe. It doesn't affect too much when the spare on or not. High speed noise is even worse from my point of view.

which one in the pic do you use as your steering link?

great deal..... I made a similar here for more than $300....3 years ago now you need lights on that rack I have 4 in front and 2 in rear

Thanks Nunya. I never saw that kind of rack. can't help....

Hi, I have roof rack installed but I am not sure what you are looking for, probably it's because my poor English. Would you mind explaining in detail?

Good work!! I like the spare tire mount.

Dear Andy, I'm thinking about 255/85/16 and currently running 265/75/16 with 2 inch lift Do you have any pic of your set? Thank you very much.
