New I30T Guy : Intro and Pics

[Rosati]

Hey guys, Im Rob from north jersey , Just got myself a beautiful I30T and added a Nice Alpine Dvd player to compliment the Rear shade and a nice tint

Absolutely love this car, my first Infiniti and love the handling and acceleration (coming from an E39 Bmw 530i)

I work in the city so if your around lmk!

Just added a nice little Infiniti plate in the front for now ..... Any suggestions???

Comments? All are welcome!

Stock..... for now









U guys like my soft side?

[DevonD]

Welcome to Nico! Great choice with the I30 its a beautiful car!Are you looking to modify it at all or try and squeeze some more power out of it?

[PBfrEAk]

Welcome!!

I love the I30's!!! Enjoi your stay!!

If you want some constructive critisism...here ya go:

Your headlamps look a bit hazy, I'd try to clean them up, or get some new ones.

Then IMHO I don't like front plates, they break up the natural lines...so I'd lose that next...but thats just me.

Other than that the car looks fantastic. Work on some nice suspension, then make her breath better!!!



Edit: OOO post 1500

That would look good with some nice wheels and slammed! I wish I can afford Infiniti's these days.

Welcome to NICO!

Looks good. DVD player is a sweet add.

Maybe let us know your goals and we can help out with what you will need, how to do it and where to get the stuff from!

[jltibbs]

Looks clean. Not really sure what your idea of styling is, but here are a couple of I's that I like personally:

[MattB]

Very nice, looks good with the I35 grille.

[trent.davis23]

You lucked out. It already has side skirts, spoiler, and the i35 grille. All you need to do now is throw some wheels on it and clear the corners. Clear side markers will help too.

[Rosati]

Thanks guys , I appreciate it

Yeah i thought the Grille was maybe diff than the 00's and they upgraded it in 01 but I was wrong, huh

You guys have some nice rides too, damn!

Well since winter is here i suppose i can hold off on the rims, and i love these but yeah , def wanna slam it!

I suppose you guys are gonna tell me to get a $$$$$$$ stillen intake right? lol

[Rosati]

well in jersey, we have to keep the front plate either way

edit:

LOVING That white I by the ferris wheel!

What lowering kit should I look into?

will springs suffice? do you think?

For the headlamps, whats that stuff they have @ autozone that clears them up? TIA

[Barada]

Welcome man!

Yeah? im in new york:P

We should make a meet with the other I's

[jltibbs]

will springs suffice? do you think?

No. If you have stock struts, springs alone will destroy them in a short matter of time. The reason behind this is that the stock struts have a certain distance they are supposed to travel with stock springs; at a certain spring rate, and so on. If you put lowering springs on the stock strut, you are changing the length of travel AND spring rate which will shorten the existing life of the stock struts, and give you a horrible ride. I recommend saving your money till spring. During this time, do your research on the different products and lines that are available for your car. Also look into what wheels you want (the key to finding your wheels is to wait until next years line-up comes out and choose something new). Once you decide on suspension and wheels, buy them all at once, then have them installed at the same time. I am throwing some pics in at the bottom of the post so you can see that I did the same with my Maxima. I went from stock to Tokico Illumina kit, front strut bar, rear anti-sway bar, and 18" MSR wheels (the design at the time was fresh and no one around me had the polished lip look, now you can't turn your head without seeing that).

For the headlamps, whats that stuff they have @ auto zone that clears them up? TIA

Nohing. Get THIS polish and THIS polishing ball. Night and day difference, especially the more coats you hit it with. Works on wheels, lights, whatever. Screw that $20 kit from parts stores. I work for Advance Auto Parts and still refer customers to Flitz over the headlight restoration kit. They are garbage.

Welcome! Beautiful I.

Absolutely love this car, my first Infiniti and love the handling and acceleration (coming from an E39 Bmw 530i)

I LOVE the E39 5 series. Great cars. I'd rather have a 540i but the 530 is nothing to scoff at.

[Rosati]

Great post and great info Thanks JLT , ill def go w/ that!

Nice max man

Thx minister yeah i miss it, It was beautiful, but time for something new , this is so much more sporty

[Rosati]

Hey guys, I just had an absolute **** run of luck and have to sell

it pisses me off because it has SO much potential for modding and is beautiful stock....

So i suppose keep a heads up in the classifieds?

or ill post a link here later? Thanks everyone for the insight

[Rosati]

zerothread?id=393293

In the classys....... Thanks guys

[Rosati]

ahh, no one seemed interested in the classys...

Shes on ebay guys and out of respect, I wont post the link

Honestly im really surprised the enthusiasts here werent interested

[MinisterofDOOM]

It is certainly a nice car, too bad you have to get rid of it.

One of the quirks of trying to sell to the enthusiast community is that enthusiasts are already owners.

[Rosati]

yeah man def., thanks

Well, when I had my audi , the guys w/ the older audis were always looking to upgrade, guess the nissans here are pretty solid ; )
