I've been a member for close to 2 years now and have only posted one pic at a time in my signature. It's time to introduce the rest of my Q to NICO.
Purchased in May 05, this Q needed someone with a bank account to bring it back to life. Lucky me. Seats were torn, AC didn't work, CEL came on every drive after 15 minutes, ran rough, lots of missing trim pieces, etc., etc., etc.. New struts, 4 injectors, and fixing a bypassed EGR system were the first repairs. I had a set of rims given to me by a member in Stockton, CA and have traded up to the point where I now have 2 sets of tires and rims- Michelin Pilots on the "Lexus" rims (winter) and Yokohama AVS db's on the 300zxTT rims (summer, great tires).
Along the way I've bought and parted/sold 3 other Q's (90,91, 94t) and been able to provide good parts to many members across the country. The most recent was the 94t which was banged up on the outside (been in a spin on a bridge) but the interior was a perfect gray color (Infiniti only made gray in 1994), garaged in cool SF since birth. For $500 It was a very lucky find. I swapped the front and rear seats, door panels, steering wheel (covered since new) and black floor mats into my Q. Looks great.
My Q runs as good as it looks- Like a new car. I found an Active rear sway bar on an abandoned Q, installed a rear spoiler, and installed a Jeff Williams FSTB. These are about the only mods other than those mentioned above. I've been fortunate (?) to have had a couple of minor fender benders (the second one was my fault) and as a result have gotten almost the entire exterior repainted for only $150 (the deductable). My Q is fast as h*ll and a pleasure to drive. Enjoy the pics.
