couple y33 questions, key, window visors, 240 springs?

[q45omg]

hi there, had a few questions, thought id just make 1 combo thread

1st one, does anyone know where i can get a replacement y33 key online? i know i can use generic blanks from wherever key cutting place but i was trying to get the nice oem one, with the metal infiniti emblem on it.

next, does anyone have a picture of a car with the weathertech visors actually installed? i can only find the generic pictures on the weathertech site.

lastly, does anyone have any info regarding the use of 240sx springs on a q45? ive seen one guy do it but he didnt have much info.

thanks to anybody who can help

You need special keys, you cannot just use a generic metal key. The little black stub has a chip in it, that chip needs to be setup to your car. You can make standard key, it will fit into the lock, but it will not turn on the car. You can get them from Scotsdale Infiniti (everythinginfiniti) or try eBay.

As for the springs, you do not want to put springs from a 3000 pound 4 cylinder car onto a 4000 pound 8. The only aftermarket upgrade are Tein's that come out of Japan, search for Kevin Falk, he's our local "importer"

depending on mileage you might try to get replacement shocks/struts. The KYb SR Specials also need special ordering.

If your not going to do this get the stock ones from Everything Infiniit, but the 240SX ones are just a bad idea.

Not true as Eibach did make some also, but now discontinued. Espilir(sp?) might make some also. Regardless, you will have to look to the JDM market for newor go custom.

Don't forget Trust Lowdown springs.

DONT BUY WEATHERTECH!

Japanese Cima Visors.... Perfect fitment just installed them last night.

The only thing ive heard about "240 springs" is weight q weighs much more then 240I would just get the tiens for the Q.

I can get Espelir springs for FGY33 Cima with VH41 engine. The funny thing, they have almost identical spring rates and drops to the Teins which aren't specifically for Cima, but Cedric / Gloria, so they should feel the same. Pricing is about the same as Tein as well. I've got nearly 3 years on my Teins and have never had one complaint, other than I wish they were a tad bit lower.

And who cares who used to make springs? The only thing that counts is what you can actually get currently.

[Qproject]

yeah the s14 springs will fit but the spring rates will be off.

it slams the y33 but I guarentee your oem struts or even aftermarket struts will not last too long.It drops it by about 3-4 inches leaving you with about 1-2 inches of strut rod travel.

lower spring rates + 2 inches of strut rod travel = crazy bottoming out, jacked up suspension parts and bent wheels.

hmm interesting. thanks for the info. i was wondering cause i have my old stock 240 springs lying around that i thought i would try out for fun. so if it sucks no harm no foul.

on the side visors, i have heard some people say they suck but i have never actually seen a picture? also does anyone have a good picture of the japanese ones?

lastly im probably just being retarded but i cant find the q45 key anywhere on http://www.everythinginfiniti.com, could someone point me to it?

But (based on Qprojects post) it could "harm" parts of your cars suspension that aren't easy/cheap to repalce, not to mention you wheels.

Call Joe at 1-888-216-5328, Tell him Wes sent you

I think you'd screw up more thand you'd help. I would do it all in one big thing, get the Tein and I'd go out of my way to get the KYB SR Specials or go completely stock with new parts from Joe. That is the cheaper way to go, but no way does it compare to the aftermarket goodies.

BTW, Kevin is alone in his desire to go lower, man mine is as low as I want to go
