Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the information you requested. Once you remove the starter motor from your car you can take it to any local auto parts store and they will test it for free. Here is a tutorial showing how to remove and replace a starter motor:

I've attached picture steps below on starter motor replacement for your Infiniti. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

Sorry, I couldn't tell what those numbers were either. The correct torque specification for you starter motor bolts are 35 Ft. Lbs. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

Not sure about that. You would have to search the internet about that. You can get a rebuilt starter for $100.00 and a new starter for $150.00 at auto parts stores. I've only rebuilt alternators. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

If you want to save a little more than a parts store you might want to try Ebay or Amazon if you have an account. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.

Hello again.

The companies Haynes and Chilton make repair manuals for your car. I've attached a picture below of a Haynes manual from the AutoZone auto parts site. Hope this helps and thanks again for using 2CarPros.
