Finally put her on Cardomain

[BlackBirdVQ]

So today I dedicated bout hour n half to put my Q45 up on Cardomain.com

Let me know what you guys think of it I havent put up many of the pics I took but this will do for now and clearly gets the point across. I will update the pictures hopefully by this weekend with Cal Customs and Tokicos installed. I just did a buncha bushings on it today, still need to swap out the power steering rack and then I can align it.

She's a thing of beauty man. That polished plenum and the valve cover will generate a lot of oohs and aahs when you open the hood. Great work!

Maybe send me a copy of all the pics and the writeup and ill put it on Q45.org

I didnt realize how immaculate the interior was

You're an artist, man. That's absolutely beautiful - one of the best I've ever seen. I love everything about it - the glossy red valve covers radiating from the engine compartment against the pearl white is really special, and those wheels are gonna look smashing when you drop it.

If you're going to work as hard as you did, it's nice to have it turn out so well.

Damned nice job.

Beautiful, with the drop, it will look amazing. Very nice ride, the engine is very eye catching.

Its comforting to know that all of you like my hard work that I put into this ride. I will put up pictures of it when its lowered- I am doing that tomorrow right after I get done working on customer cars. Hopefully within hour or so she will sit 2" lower giving it that hunkered down look

On a side note I had to show the car off on the Maxima.org and SR20forum.com just because I am a resident to both of those forums- I own those cars as well. It seems like everyone is loving the car, and alot of people who replied are now looking at buying a G50. Surely an overlooked vehicle as not many of them where made or still prowl the streets. My future father-in-law is now a G50 fanatic hehe, and hes not a car guy nor does he like any of the new cars. If we go out somewhere he wants to drive !

Wow gorgeous!!

The pic in the garage where the Honda is up on the lifter..... Are those rims on the Q the same as in the other pictures by the lake? They don't look the same.

I like the latter ones better. The engine bay is unbefuknlievable.

Can't wait to see it lowered.

[BlackBirdVQ]

No the wheels on the picture where its sitting in the shop are some cheezy American Racing chrome 16s that came with the car. They where in terrible shape anyways and all 4 tires where different brand, but same size. I gave those wheels away to a fellow cooworker who installed them on his 95 Maxima... it looks awfull.

I lowered the car yesterday- very eassy job, if not one of the eassiest cars I've lowered. She rides soooo much nicer, and corners like its on rails. My rear shocks had ZERO dampening left, and where COMPLETLY blown. If the weather permits tomorrow, I will take the car to the local park and shot some pics with my good SLR camera. Next mod will be a set of 245-40-18 ZR Avon Tech 500 Summer tires, they have a XL load rating of 97 and those cheezy Nankang tires are cupped and noisy- and not rated for the weight of the car. They are also too small for the rims- 225-40-18s on 8" wheels looks bad. I have vibrations from them on the highway and its annoying.

I MIGHT go to a exhaust shop tomorrow to get another estimate on a custom exhaust system.
