You know its funny the last HG50 presidents with the new LCD screens, look so modern..

If you took a 1990 and put the new style president interior (lcd dash wood etc) they would look like a new car..

Amazing a 15 year old car can look just as modern as new cars, with a simple change of dash components. Really says alot about the G50s sexy curvy dash layout

That first one makes the HITMAN wanna cry, but the second one is SOOO damn sexy!

I gotta get me some JDM window trim, dammit!

BTW, my "source" for the chromed pillar trim is a NO GO. Chump. :(

The trims would look oh so pimp on your Q... The 94+ is all about luxury.. The chrome pillar trims would really bring out the luxury even more... very jaguar, YEA BABY

I love the president trunk.. the chrome trim, looks very 7 series.. You could replace the president lettering with infiniti or something, it would look even more bling..

I have just ordered some JDM parts from my good friend Azuma at mailorderjapan.com

I HIGHLY recommend this service if you are looking for JDM parts from yahoo jp auctions. His prices and service are simply unbeatable.

This is my ABSOLUTE DREAM Q45 Interior

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co...57598

I love the red/black two tone seats and door panels... I would love to perform this swap on my soon to come black interior.. However it would be nearly impossible to have the seats and panels shipped to the United States.. having someone here redoing the seats in two tone and the panels, would be outrageously expensive, and probably wouldn't end up as good as those look.

the interior is sweet...but I want those wheels. The look like OZ Opera II's but they are not. Must be a knock off.

AZ, was it you that said the (outer) door skins are different on the President?

Man, I don't know, it sure looks like a Pres front clip would bolt right on.

Has someone tried it before?

I think I remember posting that question in an earlier thread & not getting a response.

What I like about those Presidents are the longer wheelbase. Man, for our Qs, as big as they are, the back seat leg room sucks. Wouldn't it be cool if it was possible to install on of those OEM President GPS into our Q. The one thing I wish I had in my car is a GPS.

Wait a minute, that's a left hand drive President! Where were they sold? Doesn't have the wood trim on the lower fascia, so it must be an earlier or lower line one.

None of those links I showed you had the updated interior. All these are custom

The updated President interior is awesome

It has a real nice screen that takes up the entire area of the old bose unit. It also has tvs that pop out of the headliner. The passanger seat folds down so the rear seat occupant can use the front passanger seat as a footrest.

Also the middle console is massive, and has a screen in it as well.

Alsoc heck out out the rear door panels. They are different. They have speakers and ashtrays.

Whoa, I didn't notice that...

I've seen the late models one with all the options (tvs/etc) for like 10-15k

What a deal.

I would love to be transported around in one of these.

Yep, looks like the President dash I reversed (notice the needle position in the guages).

I hove to admit, those rear AC vent towers at the end of the console don't do anything for me. Reminds me of Godzilla (or is it Mothra?).__________________Brian1995 Q45 & Q45t & 2000 Q45

DAMN that looks good. I bet that isn't fake wood either.

It's too bad that lcd screen probably wouldn't be functional in our cars. I'd love to perform the swap.

The one with the "marble" dash trim is uuuuug-ly!

I kinda like the high center pod with the elevated a/c outlets - kind of seperates the front / rear compartments visually...

Gotta find a way to bring one of these to the States, if only to stel the goodies off of it.

I wonder if Joe can get access to JDM parts information? I'm sure everything comes back to a common point somewhere, but it's probably the main ECU wiring harness.

I think I remember someone saying they had to ship the JDM Q45s to the US, then ship them back to Japan, before they could sell them. Some whacky import regulation, dunno if its true..

The president has always been the mega ballin limo transport.. Of course because JDM cars are 100% superior to American cars, their "limo" is a high performance RWD sedan with a great V8..

Have you seen the NEW president.. the F50 chasis one?

It's something to behold, indeed.

Well, basically.. they just like taking our money..

The Japanese are very cented upon themselves.. They have survived throughout history, by relying basically upon themselves..

Here is a good example.

They are facing a decline in their population. Their "baby boomers" are ageing, and they simply don't have enough nurses to handle all the incoming ageing people. The Phillipines as well as some other countries, have plenty of qualified nurses, and have offered to send them to assist in this matter. Japan simply doesn't like foreigners, they have only issued something like 50,000 foreign visas in 20 years. On top of of that if you're a Korean, born in Japan, you arn't even granted citizenship. They really don't like Koreans, or any foreigners.. Luckily we have hollywood, so they don't mind American Gaijins too much :)

Anyway, back to the nursing story.. They flat out rejected the offers from the other countries.. One of their "solutions" was to invent a human washing machine, I kid you not.. I don't have the link anymore, but basically its a car wash for humans.

You get inside this thing, and it has port holes on both sides, where the nurses can put their hands in to wash you.

This should give you some idea of the mentality of the Japanese..

I love Japan, and I will infilitrate the country one day :)

Here is the ideal president

http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co...79256

Look at that updated interior.. Looks just as good as anything coming out now..

Damnit, if only we could import these... It may not be that difficult. Since they are basically the same as the G50, I wonder what the crash testing requirements from the DOT would be... With skylines they had to modify them to pass safety, but since the G50 was sold here, and the president isn't that different, I wonder how difficult it would be..

I told Cameron to see how much a President front clip would be (he's going to Japan in a few weeks).

Don't hold your breath, we'll see if he comes through.
