Heartbroken the once love of my life Q is ready to go to scrapyard, because I can't sell it.

Anyone on NICO for a while knows me, this beauty white '00AE has been around here since I got her in '05. I have written numerous walkthroughs to help people, the most well received was the knock sensor guide for the FGY33 Q45. Here you are if you are in for this job: fgy33-plenum-removal-56k-beware-adding- ... 20801.html

Now, I have my '03 M45 and just bought a '98 Pathfinder for the beach. The old girl needs to go. She has been sitting for a year in my driveway undriven. She has no battery and needs only the following to live a happy life:

1) Right front fender, rotted out.
2) Battery (none)
3) Heater core (maybe), moist in the car after sitting and small leak on pass floor.
4) Ticking in motor resolved sounds like lifter ticking.

She has the racoon lights, but one was replaced with a brand new OEM one 6 years ago and is MUCH nicer. The interior is in very good shape considering her age, I babied this car like I can't explain the first 3 years I had it. Then I blew the motor and our bond was broken once she came back together.

I am only posting this here because I know the Y33 guys are few and far between, and don't read the classifieds. I'm sure a mod will find it and move it, and perhaps even scold me (hehe). But here's the deal - this was my baby. I want her to go to another person and not the scrapyard. Search my profile to see many pics and many posts of all the work we've been through in our 276ish K together.

Scrap is going to give me $750. I also have a brand new set of Deutschewerks injectors on the shelf downstairs that can go with it. newly manufactured and were only on my first motor for about 5k until she blew. I saved them and they are pristine.

Someone, somewhere, please take this car from me for the same money. It's worth more in parts and nice specimens are hard to find. It's not gorgeous but it's waaaaaaay better than other cars at that mileage.

If the mods see this, please do a good NICO member a favor that has helped a ton and leave this here for a few days. This isn't about the money I just want the car to go to someone that loves the dying 2nd gen Q45. In it's entirety, I really don't have to time to deal with parting it out.Someone out there get at me before this thread gets moved or I scrap the car. OH and she has 3 BRAND NEW OEM rims on it...they were replaced by Infiniti for recall (LOLOL) at 230k miles...all 4 were replaced but a leaky caliper in only 3 days ruined the finish on one of the rims.

Anyway, someone come get her. Thanks, over and out from the Q forum...next one will be an M56...
