I have an infinity g35 2003. The car wouldn't start anymore because of a drained battery. I changed the battery and alternator twice! And after 6 hours of use, alternator blew up. Would it be a short somewhere causing that? Please help!

Yes most likely, unless it was an old battery and was sulfated. The alternator should be protected by a fusible link.
