I bought the Sportster 4 and had the custom install work done at Ultimate Electronics here in Chandler. The guy did a fantastic job and was great to work with. Ended up costing me $400 for the install including the custom fiberglass piece and hard wiring the unit to the FM modulator.

I bought it on e-bay for $16,000. Closed in the middle of the night. Seller paid $28000 for it in December of 2005.2002 49k miles, books out at $31k. Has premium package. It replaces a Lexes SC300 in picture. Likes : Very smooth, very fast., great interior, so many bells and whistles. Nicest riding car that I have owned.Dislikes: Gas light comes on when it hits ¼ tank, and the car gets lost in the crowd, looks like an Altima, or Maxima.

Wow! What a deal! I feel sorry for the previous owner for taking such a large loss...

That is a A LOT of car for only $16K. I need to ask...Has there been any damage? I thought the depreciation on these cars would have leveled of a bit...

Nice color on the F50...I always love black cars, but you're brave for having that color in AZ!

The rear bumper has been resprayed, it was a NY car so the bumpers have been bumped. Car has some scratches, but has a clean title and no major work done.

This is my first post to the forum. I found the website yesterday. Great resource!

I bought my first Q45 in 1990. Back then, the dealerships were empty, the service bays were virginal, and the showrooms had a japanese zen garden design. To this day, I think that was the most beautiful, fun to drive car I have ever owned. Elegant, fast, and so much fun. I bought my second in 2002 (Premium, all bells and whistles) and I am driving it today. I know there are faster, better handling sedans on the market, but the only sedan that comes close (IMHO) to the Q45's overall appeal today is the Audi A8 (appeal -- without the reliability). I am told the next generation Q45 will be close to $80k. Has anyone else heard this?

Let the masses enjoy their BMLexus-Benz's. I have always enjoyed something a little different, a little less common.

THE SERVICE MANGER BLEW SMOKE UP MY *** SAYING HE DROVE IT AND I DIDN'T NEED IT. NIELLO RAN THE CONSULTII (AS PER THE BULLITEN) AND SAW i HAD THE WRONG SERIAL # ON THE TCM. i WAS DUE THE CORRECT ONE 4 YRS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE IN NOTHERN CALIFORNIA YOU HAVE TO USE NIELLO INFINITI OF CONCORD. THEY WERE GREAT. GAVE ME A LOANER G35 TO DRIVE AND I'M 1 HOUR AWAY!SEE LESLIE IN SERVICE. STEVE IS THE SERVICE MANAGER

A walk around video clip would be best. j/k

I just wanted to see the fx rims from a 3/4 angle. Few more side shots, angled a bit. Something that shows the offset of the rims.

Nice pics! I really like those 20's on the Q!

Im still rollin on the factory 18's. Broke now, cant afford rims or even the pedal/TCU update.

Really looking to integrate my ipod video into my Q at the moment. Need to research more I guess, I would like to view some of my videos on my ipod through the factory 7 inch LCD. Ofcourse listening to the music would be ideal also.....

Thanks!NickSonzofGod

hey guys..

I purchased a Nissan Cima (JDM Q45) last month from Japan and importing it to Australia. The car should be on the ship and due for delivery in 10 days.. counting the minutes

i have never seen a q45 in the flesh but going off reviews they must be pretty hot.

Anyhow I thought I'd say hi.. I'll keep u guys updated

Are there any other q45 forums on the net? This seems sort of dead
