Well, I know most of you guys are J30 owners and q45 owners and are well knit group. I actually joined Nico a while back when I got my 240 in 01. Didnt start going on here until i picked up an m30. Didnt know anything about the ride and only places that had some info was nicoclub and f31club.

my name is Roger. live in Seattle. I own a few cars, EK and EG civic hatch, fc3s rx7 with v8, 240sx fastback, m30, and in the Philippines I have a CRV. I like cars... so i kinda play around wid em.

anyways I picked up a 90 M30 with a starter/flexplate problem, banged up hood (hit a deer) and digital climate control not working. Since then, hood replaced, climate control works and soon to get the transmission dropped and then eventually do the 5spd conversion. I've also picked up a few things from Japan for my m30 leopard. Here's some pix.



and my jdm leopard headlights and some stuff

now its just wiring the US spec 9006/9005 to the h4 and h3c foglight.

Nice M30.

That license plate is super cool, can you get those for other cars?

Hashiriyas14,

I'm not sure. I got it through my friend in Yokohama. We have this thing set up that I tell him to bid on stuff in Yahoo auctions Japan and he orders it.. Then i of course pay him. So all those except the dvd and mag I got on an auction. since the only aftermarket for the M30 is in japan, i'm aiming at getting a few things from there.

here is the reverse side of the licence plate



I'm going to Japan next week for 6 days. Hopefully I can get some OEM side skirts and lip/bumper for my M30. I'm also gonna get some stuff for my fc rx7, probably just suspension and body parts and for my 240 as well. I'll snap a few pictures for everyone.

whats up everyone, chek the infiniti general for more pictures.

well, we used to do that and lets say some of my friends didnt pay him once they recieved the parts. and he's one of those guys that you break trust, there's no way to earn it. I ended up forking money over because my team member here was "short" on cash and couldnt pay my team member in japan for the part. Lets just say he'll get me stuff, but even thats something too. He's a worker like you and me and doesnt have much time to go around. He does things outta favor for me and also kuz we are good friends and i've actually took the time to go there (3 times) to hang out with him. maybe in the future, but not right now.

I bought this model off ebay for a good price. Kuz the leopard j ferie models are rare. Problem was that the tail light was broken off on the passenger side corner. sucks.

thats alot of damn scanning, its more for the m30 site (we got older people that want to maintain their m30s, new people buying m30s, and even some guys in the UK, Australia, NZ, and even Tasmania with imported leopards that dont have info on the cars.)

Installing a folding Licence Plate Holder.I bought this in 02 and its just been chilling. I was gonna put it on my EK hatch, but thats long and gone.. so I found it and installed it on the M30.. Here is the write up.

Parts needed:Folding Licence plate holder (came with hardware)

Tools needed:-10mm socket, short and deep.-hack saw (cutting bumper grill)-drill (making holes for licence plate)--------------------------------------------------------

Obviously have the Folding Licence plate and hardware.

Make sure it works.

Remove the licence plate and OEM plate holder

undo the skid plate

This will expose the Bumper grills nuts (sounds funny)Remove them.

the top of the grill has 4 bolts as well, remove those and the grill can be taken out.

This piece of metal holds the bumper to the bumper reinforcement (remove 4 bolts)

find a place and drill the holes, put the bolts thru the holes and pull down the bumper and put the nuts on the end to ensure the folding plate stays on.



I had to cut part of the grill so the plate can move back freely.

reverse steps and your done.
