Pics are not that great it was really cold out (12 degrees) and some wind to boot. My boy took the pics. The camera did not like the cold and neither did I.

Beautiful! Nice wheels! Love the deep dish look.

Thanks for sharing.

Do you and your boy ever swap cars from time to time?

thanks guys. the Lexus is a 03' ulra luxury edition. I'm usually not a Lexus guy but the ultra lux package makes me want to go out and find one. Still like the feel of my Q better though. Nope we don't swap cars any, although my buick roadmaster has become the default rental car when either of our cars are down for repairs or modifications.

Thanks Lasoyafan. It would be cool to meet up. No one in Knox is rolling big body Japanese cars huh? It is starting to catch on down here in Nashville. You need to pop down one weekend. I can take you to all of the Nashville import haunts and we can roll low and slow. LOL..

let me know.

cant we all just get along. LOL Enough with all this my q is faster than yours. I'll be the first to admit that the G50 has a performance edge on the Y33. I've owned a bunch of Nissan/Infiniti vehicles. Somewhere along the way, when i wanted to go fast I swapped my ka for an sr in my s14. Now I ride with my two little boys in the back of my y33. I have different interests now. Low and slow is how I ride. When I want to go fast, I'll build something else or drive my Buick Roadmaster.... LOL

My point is I didn't buy either of my Y33s (this is my second one) for the go fast feature even though they will both hold their own with regard to performance and handling. I bought them because I like the luxury level associated with the vehicle, which incidently is probably a little higher than the G50.....

in my opinion g50 guys who dis y33s are really jealous.if they had one and experienced first hand the reaction from others who see them in one they would probably sell their g50.

Aww shucks. I'm not jealous. It's just that a 97-01 bone stock just isn't as appealing to me than a bone stock G50.

That being said, I love this Y33 and some other ones that I've seen modded. When they're lowered, it make s a world of difference to me. I'm beginning to let go of my prejudices, but it'll take time. Maybe I need to see more FY33's.

Who are you..... murfreesboro is right down the street. You probably know people I know. Right now they are meeting up at the bridge downtown nashville on most weekends when its not raining? Don't strip your wheels I've got some 19s you maybe interested in. Good price for them too. By the time you spend the money to strip and polish, you could be rolling some 19s with decent fitment. Do you have any more shots of your car?

They are wheels produced for my company. I can get you a set if you would like. I currently have 19x9.5 +15 available and ready to ship. email me at [email protected] if you want some more details.

The wheels are 1 piece aluminum with a chromed stainless steel lip. If you want different sizes we have a pretty decent range of 19s and 20s available. Sorry nothing smaller than a 19. These are intended for larger import sedans. Let me know if you are interested.

Puddle lights are not a bad idea if they turn on only when you open the doors. Otherwise, they remind me of the cheezy neon lights that people put on their Civics and such.

The Y33 has a certain style to it that I definitely appreciate but I don't like the way that Nissan replaced the G50 with a slower and cheaper car. That doesn't take away from the Y33 but if you like the G50 Q, then it is hard to replace it with the Y33 Q.

Q already has puddle lights from the factory, one in each door panel.....leave the tokyo by night show for the ricers in their 4 cylinder put puts with fartcan mufflers and cartoon wheels.

Just drove my wife's FGY33 to fill it up. It is no G50, but it is a nice damn car and probably a better everyday driver than a G50. Of course, the suspension is not quite stock, but now the KYB SR special have broken in, they are a very good match to the Eibachs, along with the OZ and larger section tires.
