Man, what a fun thread to look through. PFG has my favorite so far. The blade-spoke wheels give the Cima body an classic American look.

I think he meant PMF ... but not sure.

firepower and tt300z are my favs, but that could be because I like the FX 20's .

Spring 07 can't come soon enough.

2001 Q45T 70k miles, looks just like anniversary eds car. This is my first Infinity/Nissan product, so far (3 days) I have been very happy with it. I traded my 99 cobra convertible for it, which was difficult but worth it.

1999 Q45t Black/Tan 103,xxx and counting - owned for 3 years now - Love it but is having a few problems - will be looking for some assistance in getting it up to speed... Knock Sensor bad I think - I just replaced all of the plugs. O2 sensor bad too - all of the normal 100k things. The power tilt steering wheel just stopped moving up and down - it still goes in and out - any Ideas on how to tackel that?

Sorry, folks, but I have to 'check out' for a while of the FY33 club....

On 25 September 2006, at approx 1:30 AM, traveling down a desolate 4 lane divided highway, with fire and brimstone as my only guide, I struck down one of God's lovely creatures. Yes, folks, the wonderful FY33 I had come to know and love in a short 9 months and 22K miles is no longer with us, as the insurance company received an initial estimate from the body shop was more than the car was worth (they say it is worth around 10K plus, minus the high miles, deducting 2855 for the miles, currently at 164K, without a friggin oil leak, and 8 days after replacing the A/C compressor and tie rods), and it will be sadly missed.

Oh, yeah, and the bastard creature that caused all this? A 150# 6 pt buck - who appeared in front of my car from literally out of nowhere.

I'll have pics posted later in the week - I just switched from XP to Vista and haven't been able to get my Motorola Phone tools to work yet to download the pics from my phone.

The only modicum of satisfaction I got was that the responding officer had to put the beast down because he was still trying to get up and move - with probably several broken ribs, a fractured femur or 2, and numerous other injuries.

Sorry to hear about your Q John, that's a bummer man, but at least you are alright.

Dadee, that's a fine looking ride man! I personally don't get the air ride fascination, but that doesn't matter. Your Q is quite a head turner, regardless if it can bounce or not!

Sorry to hear about your buck encounter. One of my greatest fears as there is nothing that can be done. The other day I saw where two small ones did a kamikaze run into the side of a car which resulted in significant damage. A pretty urban area with major highway construction too!

@DADEE

Nice ride - I never got around to modifying mine before it died...

@Falk - I hated every minute of it.

I am in the process of settling, but I want to remove my Kumho's and my Python 881XP from it - and someone suggested that I can try to get it back at the auction - probably not to fix it, but to part it out - interior was damn near flawless, and other than the front end so was the exterior.

Any takers on parts?

@Maxnix - yeah, one second the road was clear and the next there was a flash of beige and my car was crumpling.

I *have* decided, however, to find a slightly newer one with a few more options and go with it again...

but my folks just bought an M35, and they are loving it, and I might start looking for an M45...I just really don't like the current Qs - the FY33 was (is) the style for me...
