(1.0) J30 General Information
(2.0) J30 & Media
(3.0) J30 Modifications & Maintenance
(4.0) Is this normal?
(5.0) What should I look for in a used J30?
(6.0) J30 Wisdom (from owners who’ve learned the hard way)

(1.0) J30 General Information

(1.1) When did J30 production start and where was it built

Full production started on April 7, 1993. It was built in Tochigi Japan.

(1.2) What is the last year the J30 was sold in North America?

1997. Production ended on June 18, 1997

(1.3) Who designed the J30?

Chief designer Doug Wilson with guidance form Jerry Hirshberg Nissan NDI chief. Doug Wilson also designed the original Pathfinder, Pulsar NX. 90's to current generation Altima and 2000 Maxima.

There is a book available called "The Creative Priority"by Jerry Hirshberg that contains some early sketches of the J30.

The car was designed entirely at Nissan LaJolla California design studio.

(1.4) Where was the J30's place in Infiniti's product hierarchy?

Just below the flagship Q45 and above the G20 and later I30.

(1.5) What vehicles where the J30's main competitor when launched?

Original Lexus GS, Acura Vigor, Jaguar XJ, BMW 5 series, Saab 9000.

(1.6) Does the J30 share the engine with the 300ZX?
Yes and few other bits.

(1.7) What is the J30 known as in Japan?

Nissan Leopard J Ferie.

(1.8) What are the differences between the North American J30 and the Japanese Leopard J Ferie?

The Japanese version had an optional V8.
The Japanese version had a front-end spoiler.
The instrument gauge cluster on the US version is of a different design because speed is measured in miles and temperature in Fahrenheit scale. The Canadian version of the J has got the original JDM instrument cluster.

(1.9) Was the J30/Leopard J Ferie sold in western Europe?

No, in the UK it would have gone head-to-head with Jaguar XJ. Nissan product strategists did their research and found out that Jaguar buyers tend to be loyalists that are very difficult to convert. It would be hard to have them switch to a Nissan product which doesn't have the same brand cachet or heritage.

(1.10) What is HICAS?

Basically a rear wheel steering system which turns the back wheels in an opposite direction to the front wheels at high speeds. It makes the car handle like its on "rails". It eliminates body roll and gives better high speed handling. It allows you to scare the pants off Bimmer, Audi and Benz drivers. Only available in 1993 and 1994 J30 "t" (touring) models.

(1.11) What does the "t" in J30 stand for.

The "t" stands for touring. The Difference between a regular J30 and a J30t is that the "t" model came with HICAS (only available on 1993 and 1994 models), a rear spoiler, heated seats standard (US models only-heated seats where standard across the line in Canada) and a stiffer suspension.

(1.12) What is a "gold package" J30?

It's a J30. mostly "t" models sold in 1993 and 1994 which came with gold plated grille, door handles,badging, special floor mats, and special gold plated BBS rims that where administered through the dealer. Very few where sold. In Canada the "t' models came only in two exterior colours. Either a pearl metallic black or green pearl metallic. Both came with only a black interior colour configuration.

(1.13) Where there any J30 models or toys produced?

Aoshima produced a model kit in the 90’s of a J30. They will appear from time to time on Ebay, more frequently on Yahoo Japanese auctions. If you have live in a city with a large Asian population and a large Asian shopping area, it is possible to find the kit at an Asian hobby store.

There are a few custom diecast shops in the US who will produce a custom J30 for you just like yoursin 1/24 scale but its exepensive.

(2.0) J30 & Media

(2.1) Who's the guy with long white hair in all those J30 TV commercials?

Acclaimed English actor Jonathan Pryce

(2.2) Has the J30 won any awards or accolades?

It has won two accolades in the mid 90's, one for JD Powers highest initial quality in a luxury vehicle(1995) and another one for long term dependability based in the JD Power VDS survey.

The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada(AJAC) voted the J30 best new luxury car in 1993.

In 1996 IntelliChoice announces that J30 and I30 win “Lowest Maintenance Costs in Class.”

Forbes Magazine 04/21/2001-Listed the 1993-1997 J30 as one of the best vehicle to come out of Japan in an article entitled "Greatest Japanese Cars of All Time"

(2.3) Did any of the major auto magazines test the J30?

Here's magazine and issues information on tests:

Autoweek-October 28, 1991: J30 preview.
Autoweek-January 2, 1992: J30 preview
Autoweek-December 21, 1992: J30 preview and test drive.
Car and Driver-February 1992: '93 J30 only test drive and impressions.
Car and Driver-May 1992- '93 J30t only test drive and impressions .
MotorTrend-February 1992: '93 J30 only test drive and impressions.
MotorTrend-February 1993:'94 J30t only test drive and impressions.
Road and Track-May 1992-'93 J30t only test drive and impressions.
Road and Track-October 1993. Model overview and preview.
Road and Track-October 1994. Model overview.
Wards Auto World-February 1992: Overview and test drive.

(2.4) Has the J30 appeared in movies?

These are the ones I'm aware of:

Heat (1995) Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
O (2001) Mekhi Phifer, Julia Stiles, Josh Hartnett.

(3.0) J30 Modifications

(3.1) Where can I get a JDM spoiler, JDM grille or JDM badging for the J30?

Try Yahoo Japanese auctions. The spoliers are very pricey even used never mind factoring shipping and custom charges.

(3.2) What performance mods are available for the J30?

Not much. The car came modded from the factory.

Jim Wolf Technology does make a pop charger which will give you a bit more horses.

Level Ten can rebuild your transmission with quicker ratios and a 5th gear to give you better performance but it will cost you(at least they use to rebuild them).

Stillen produces an ECU for the J30.

(3.3) Do those performance chips I see advertised on Ebay work?

No. They are basically resistors found at any Radio Shack for $2. Its possible to get a gain, but it'll be at the expense of mileage and the on board pollution equipment. They are also known to damage both engine and powertrain components with long term use.

(3.4) Where can I get genuine Infiniti floor mats for my J30?

From time to time they will appear on Ebay.

(3.5) Can I install HID or Xenon looking bulbs for my headlight.

Yes as long as the wattage is equivalent to OEM and these lights are legal in your province/state. Anythingbulb that has a different wattage will screw up the headlight wiring and the headlight module. Sylvania makes Silverstars and Cool Blues that fit the J. I believe PIAA also makes one that gives an HID look.

(3.6) What type of gas should I put in the J30?
Octane 91 as it is recommended in the manual, no ifs and buts. The engine design is of a high compression nature with unique pistol fuel injectors. Yes the car does have a knock sensor to compensate for lower quality octane if encountered from time to time, However the engine has been designed only for higher octane gasoline. Using anything below octane 91 can damage the engine and fuel management system.

(3.7) What type of oil should I use in my J30?

Oil is a matter of personal taste on whether you like to use conventional or synthetic. I've only used synthetic in mine. Use the proper oil weight and change intervals dictated by the owners manual for your region. with a quality oil filter that isn't Fram.

(3.8) What type of transmission fluid should I use?

Again its a matter of personal taste. Some on this forum useSynthetic ATF while others use conventional ATF with more frequent changes. Don't switch to synthetic if your transmission is slipping or if your having other transmission related problems. It will only hasten its departure.

(3.9) Should I get a transmission cooler?

If you live someplace where it's hot/warm year around (i.e. southern US States). I would advise it. The cars weight and the ambient heat tend to shorten the life of the transmission.

(3.10) How do I lower my J30?

You need to have custom shocks made to do this. There is nothing available aftermarket for this application.

(4.0) Is this normal?

(4.1) A lot of white smoke comes out of the tail pipe? Is there something wrong?

As long as the smoke isn't tinged blue or smells like coolant its normal. Most of that white smoke is water vapor. The colder it gets the more it produces.

(4.2) My car roars to life like a 50's Buick the first time I start it in the morning, is this normal?

Yes as long as the rev settle down as the engine warms up.

(4.3) My transmission shifts abruptly or feels like its slipping while driving between first and second gear and then eventually settles down?

This is a common for most J's. For the transmission to shift smoothly the car needs be properly warmed up at first start. The transmission works effectively when its at proper operating temp.

(5.0) What should I look for in a used J30?

(5.1) What should I look for in a used J30?

-A complete service history is very important. Well maintained examples should be relatively trouble free.
-Ensure that the timing belt has been done and transmission fluid has been changed at proper intervals.
-Ensure that the sunroof works (expensive and time consuming fix).
-Bose (Clarion) head units are a common issue on the J. Ensure yours works properly.
-Ensure your headlights work, improper voltage bulbs cause the relay to go.
-The most common rust areas on the J30 are the weld at the bottom of the front door and the weld at the bottom of the rear doors.

(6.0) J30 Wisdom (from owners who’ve learned the hard way)

Here’s some advice:

-Use only OEM Nissan alternators in the J. Aftermarket alternators cause many problems as many long time owners will attest.

-Use only OEM Nissan spark plugs aftermarket plugs have caused many problems as many long time owners will attest.

-When using aftermarket or speciality headlight bulbs make sure, they are of the same wattage otherwise you’ll destroy your headlight relay.

-Nissan OEM brake rotors provide the best braking power for the J30. They also last the longest compared to aftermarket rotors.

-There are no aftermarket shocks or struts available for the J30 unless you go custom(which usually means more $$$). Your best bet is Nissan OEM.

PM me if I missed anything or if you want something added to this sticky.

-Use only OEM Nissan spark plugs aftermarket plugs have caused many problems as many long time owners will attest.

-When using aftermarket or speciality headlight bulbs make sure, they are of the same wattage otherwise you’ll destroy your headlight relay.

-Nissan OEM brake rotors provide the best braking power for the J30. They also last the longest compared to aftermarket rotors.

-There are no aftermarket shocks or struts available for the J30 unless you go custom(which usually means more $$$). Your best bet is Nissan OEM.

PM me if I missed anything or if you want something added to this sticky.

Thanks to Public Relations at Infiniti Canada for helping me with some of the content.

Tips on What Color is Right for Your vehicle and Storage Needs

Available Colors
Car covers are offered in an array of colors, but picking the right hue isn't solely a matter of personal taste. Here are a few tips and points of reference to help you with your choice.
	
  • If you live in a sunnier climate, you'll want a lighter colored fabric for outdoor storage. The QuickSilver car cover and Evolution car cover both come in softer colors, as well as other outdoor car covers.
    • 
	
  •  If you have a lighter colored vehicle, a lighter colored fabric is safer for your paint. Bright colors, although thoroughly tested, could bleed under certain conditions. Your best bet is to go with a light colored cover, such as the Block-It 380 car cover or the Noah car cover.
    • 
	
  •  If you're looking for style, a vibrant color can lend your vehicle character or compliment its finish. The WeatherShield car cover comes is a rainbow of colors, and the StormProof car cover has a number of hue choices as well.
    •

Outdoor Car Cover Fabrics
This area of our car cover resource guide reveals hints and tips on choosing the right outdoor car cover fabric for your vehicle.

WeatherShield

The light-weight WeatherShield car cover fabric employs a patented encapsulation process, originally developed for high-performance outdoor sportswear. The result is a car cover fabric that delivers maximum paint protection from the elements without the bulk, making it easier to handle and store.The special encapsulation process surrounds woven polyester fabric with an ultra-thin film and a durable, breathable barrier. Traditional coatings and laminations only protect one side of the car cover fabric. The WeatherShield car cover fabric uses up to 40 computerized steps to place protective polymers inside the fabric to shed water, dust, bird droppings, tree sap and industrial pollutants.WeatherShield fabricThe high-strength, polyester base fabric is naturally UV-resistant. To make the WeatherShield car cover more resistant to the rigors of sun exposure, UV inhibitors have been added to the polymers to help slow-down naturally-occurring degradation.
	
  • WeatherShield fabric sheds water as soon as it hits the car cover, leaving your vehicle dry.
    • 
	
  • Because WeatherShield car cover fabric sheds moisture, it has an absorption factor of only 2%, compared with up to 40% for standard woven and non-woven fabrics. That means, if the car cover has been sitting out in the rain, just shake it out and it's practically dry.
    • 
	
  • WeatherShield car cover fabric allows any heat or condensation that builds up under the cover to easily escape.
    • 
	
  • Special additives in the WeatherShield fabric prevent UV degradation while protecting your vehicle's paint and interior.
    • 
	
  • The WeatherShield car cover fabric's patented fiber encapsulation process prevents dust from filtering through the fabric.
    • 
	
  • Polymers provide a silky smooth finish to the fabric and provide superior paint protection. WeatherShield fabric has been tested at 1,000 cycles on abrasion wheels without scratching (surface must be clean and waxed).
    • 
	
  • The encapsulation process is not affected by heat or cold and the process won't degrade over the life of the WeatherShield car cover fabric.
    • 
	
  • Unlike non-woven fabrics, you can clean most car-size WeatherShield car covers in your home washer and dryer.
    • 
	
  • The WeatherShield car cover packs into 1/4 to 1/2 the volume of standard multi-layer, non-woven fabrics.
    • 
WeatherShield HD

The WeatherShield HD (Heavy-Duty) car cover fabric was developed primarily for intense sun environments and long-term storage. The WeatherShield HD car cover fabric delivers UV resistance, repels water, blocks dust, tree sap and bird droppings, and is still breathable to allow moisture and heat to escape from under the cover.Even the best covers will eventually absorb waterThe base material for WeatherShield HD car cover is woven by Glen Raven Mills for CoverCraft using solution-dyed UV-resistant polyester fibers. Not only is the fabric solution dyed, the 300 denier construction is 40% heavier than the regular WeatherShield car cover fabric, doubling the tear and tensile strength.This superior base fabric is then finished with the same patented encapsulation process used on the WeatherShield car cover fabric. Using up to 40 computer controlled proprietary processes, specially-formulated polymers are forced inside the car cover fabric to bond to each individual thread and fill the valleys between the woven fibers. These special polymers have amazing elasticity to block moisture and dirt, while still maintaining the breathability of the cover.Who needs a WeatherShield HD car cover? People who live in intense sun climates and along the coast will benefit most from this car cover fabric. Plus, owners looking for the best cover for long-term storage.

Noah

CoverCraft's Noah car cover fabric actually stops water, yet it "breathes" to allow any trapped moisture, seam seepage or condensation to easily evaporate. The unique construction process results in a car cover with maximum all-weather protection. Noah car cover fabric delivers exceptional water resistance, dust resistance, UV resistance and breathability to expel moisture and/or heat. The Noah car cover fabric weighs a mere 4.45 oz./sq. yd., so it's still very easy to handle and fold. Noah is made in the US by Kimberly-Clark.
	
  • The inner core of the Noah car cover fabric is polypropylene for strength, with a polyethylene wrap for softness. The silver-gray color was selected because of its heat-resistant properties. The fabric is also treated with UV inhibitors, making it safe for extended outdoor use.
    • 
	
  • The barrier layer is a proprietary breathable stretch-film developed exclusively for Kimberly-Clark. The film is stretched and subjected to a chemical process that creates microscopic holes smaller than droplets of water or dust, yet large enough to allow moisture vapor to escape from the Noah car cover.
    • 
	
  •  A fabric made with polyethylene and nylon. This combination results in an exceptionally high strength-to-weight ratio, with the "soft touch" necessary for a car cover to protect today's water-based paint finishes.
    • 
Sunbrella

Sunbrella fabricSunbrella car cover fabric delivers protection and years of service in intense sun areas, like the sun-belt, where UV rays will rapidly degrade the paint and interior. Because of the use of acrylic fibers, which are naturally UV-resistant, Sunbrella has long been the recognized leader in long-wearing marine fabrics for bimini tops, sail covers and deck enclosures, and car covers. Besides marine and automotive uses, Sunbrella fabric is used for commercial awnings due to its ability to providing UV blockage with a rich, woven finish. The acrylic fibers are solution dyed before the fabric is woven to assure the color goes all the way through the fabric. Using a special finish process, the material is then softened for use as a car cover fabric.
	
  • The Sunbrella car cover's acrylic fibers suffer minimal loss of strength from exposure to heat, moisture and UV.
    • 
	
  • Colors are a result of pigments which are actually built into the fibers (solution dyed), instead of just dying the finished fabric.
    • 
	
  • Treated for moisture resistance (but remember, this car cover material is primarily for UV protection).
    • 
	
  • Acrylic fibers resist growth that occurs in moist environments.
    • 
The Sunbrella car cover is available in Pacific Blue, Sky Blue, Cadet Gray, Jet Black, and Toast.

Indoor Car Cover Fabrics

This area of our car cover resource guide reveals hints, advice and helpful tips on selecting the best indoor car cover fabric for your vehicle.

Dustop

Made in the U.S., by Kimberly-Clark for CoverCraft, this flannel-like car cover fabric is a 4-layer non-woven composite. It is ultrasonically laminated to provide a high degree of dust protection during indoor car storage, while remaining breathable and soft against any fine paint finish. The Dustop car cover delivers maximum dust protection, yet it's lighter and easier to handle when compared to traditional woven fabrics.
	
  • The two top layers of the Dustop car cover are constructed from a polypropylene / polyethylene composite. These layers take advantage of the best features of both polymers: the superior softness of polyethylene, with the incredible strength and sure stability of polypropylene.
    • 
	
  • A melt-blown polypropylene layer serves as a barrier to most dust, dirt and pollution. Dustop's multi-layer construction provides substantially better dust protection when compared to traditional woven, single-layer fabric car covers.
    • 
	
  • The high-loft polypropylene / polyethylene inner layer pampers and protects the vehicle's paint finish. These are the same materials designed by Kimberly-Clark for some of their softest baby diapers. And if it's soft enough for a baby's skin, the Dustop car cover has to be soft against your vehicle's paint.The Dustop car cover is available in TaupeTan FlannelCrafted with traditional enthusiast in mind, the Tan Flannel car cover fabric caresses your paint finish with an ultra-soft touch. Designed primarily for indoor storage use, this woven cover is constructed from a durable poly-cotton blend.
    • 
	
  • Flannel UndersideSoft, napped finish.
    • 
	
  • Long Wearing Over 50% heavier than entry level car cover fabrics.
    • 
	
  • Breathable Allows moisture to evaporate and will not trap heat under cover.
    • 
	
  • Water-resistantTreated for moisture repellency.

  • Rot, Mildew Resistant Treated to resist rot and mildew.As its name implies, the Tan Flannel car cover is available in TanForm-FitDesigned for cars that are not daily drivers, CoverCraft's Form Fit car cover fabric offers a body-hugging fit and a super-soft inside to pamper your vehicle's fine paint finish.CoverCraft starts with an outer shell of woven polyester that has Lycra / Spandex® added to the yarns to create stretch and memory - the stretch provides the body-hugging fit and the memory assures the car cover will retain its shape over an extended period of time (CoverCraft's Form Fit car cover has a 4-year warranty).The Form Fit car cover fabric features inside fibers that are 100% cotton terry loop, sheared to a fleece-like finish. The end result is a 7.4 oz per/sq. yd. material that has a great "hand," or feel.This car cover will provide some ding, dent and scratch protection for your garage-kept vehicle. In addition, the fabric is highly breathable to prevent vapor and heat from becoming trapped under the car cover. Form Fit car covers are available Red, Black, Silver Gray, Charcoal Gray, Blue or Green.

Indoor Car Cover Fabrics

This area of our car cover resource guide reveals hints, advice and helpful tips on selecting the best indoor car cover fabric for your vehicle.

Dustop

Made in the U.S., by Kimberly-Clark for CoverCraft, this flannel-like car cover fabric is a 4-layer non-woven composite. It is ultrasonically laminated to provide a high degree of dust protection during indoor car storage, while remaining breathable and soft against any fine paint finish. The Dustop car cover delivers maximum dust protection, yet it's lighter and easier to handle when compared to traditional woven fabrics.
	
  • The two top layers of the Dustop car cover are constructed from a polypropylene / polyethylene composite. These layers take advantage of the best features of both polymers: the superior softness of polyethylene, with the incredible strength and sure stability of polypropylene.
    • 
	
  • A melt-blown polypropylene layer serves as a barrier to most dust, dirt and pollution. Dustop's multi-layer construction provides substantially better dust protection when compared to traditional woven, single-layer fabric car covers.
    • 
	
  • The high-loft polypropylene / polyethylene inner layer pampers and protects the vehicle's paint finish. These are the same materials designed by Kimberly-Clark for some of their softest baby diapers. And if it's soft enough for a baby's skin, the Dustop car cover has to be soft against your vehicle's paint.The Dustop car cover is available in TaupeTan FlannelCrafted with traditional enthusiast in mind, the Tan Flannel car cover fabric caresses your paint finish with an ultra-soft touch. Designed primarily for indoor storage use, this woven cover is constructed from a durable poly-cotton blend.
    • 
	
  • Flannel UndersideSoft, napped finish.
    • 
	
  • Long Wearing Over 50% heavier than entry level car cover fabrics.
    • 
	
  • Breathable Allows moisture to evaporate and will not trap heat under cover.
    • 
	
  • Water-resistantTreated for moisture repellency.
    • 
	
  • Rot, Mildew Resistant Treated to resist rot and mildew.As its name implies, the Tan Flannel car cover is available in TanForm-FitDesigned for cars that are not daily drivers, CoverCraft's Form Fit car cover fabric offers a body-hugging fit and a super-soft inside to pamper your vehicle's fine paint finish.CoverCraft starts with an outer shell of woven polyester that has Lycra / Spandex® added to the yarns to create stretch and memory - the stretch provides the body-hugging fit and the memory assures the car cover will retain its shape over an extended period of time (CoverCraft's Form Fit car cover has a 4-year warranty).The Form Fit car cover fabric features inside fibers that are 100% cotton terry loop, sheared to a fleece-like finish. The end result is a 7.4 oz per/sq. yd. material that has a great "hand," or feel.This car cover will provide some ding, dent and scratch protection for your garage-kept vehicle. In addition, the fabric is highly breathable to prevent vapor and heat from becoming trapped under the car cover. Form Fit car covers are available Red, Black, Silver Gray, Charcoal Gray, Blue or Green.

AutoAnything is a top online seller of car cover products and we personally recommend shopping for custom car covers at AutoAnything.com. They are a supporting vendor of the NicoClub and we have personally purchased car covers from them and recommend them as a site to purchase covers from.
