Thank you.
I am about to drop @ 2k into this car on July 1 to do timing chain guides, hopefully located 94-96 wood grain door and ashtray trim, new tires 245/40/18, illusion lighting upgrade once we can configure a solution, and anything else y'all might be able to propose.
Is it wrong to value this car over my own life? HEHE...

ESQJME, very nice Q, one question, illusion lighting--what is it????!!!LOL i'm trying to focus most of my time and money on the performance/maintenence of my Q. as much as i wanted to put in a slammin' system, and "pimped out" rims, i did the chain guides, oil pump, water pump, thermostat, transmission flush and screen change, and all fluids switched to synthetic. in the process of doing an engine flush, a la fred!!! i had my guides done by keith vanmeter of vanmeter motors in mantua nj, he's excellent. ex-infiniti tech, has done hundreds. highly recommended. let him know you're from NICO and mention my name, sure you'll get a great deal! good luck, and contact me if you have more questions, i'd be glad to help! jeff

All caps are his
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SERVICE IN THE AREA OF NEW JERSEY I CAN HELP;I CURRRENTLY OWN VAN METER AUTO REPAIR IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. BEFORE THAT I WAS A LINE TECH AT NISSAN AND INFINITI DEALERS FOR THE PREVIOUS 14 YEARS THE LAST TWO AS SHOP FOREMAN OF AN INFINITI DEALER. I GUESS TO SAY I HAVE DONE AS MANY TIMING CHAIN GUIDES AS ANYBODY IN THE NORTHEAST BAR NONE. MY LABOR RATE IS $65.00/FLAT RATE HOUR AND WE USE SNAP ON SHOP KEY ESTIMATING I STILL HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEALER AND PARTS ARE AVAIL WITHIN USUALLY 1 DAY.THE NUMBERS I CAN BE REACHED AT ARE (856)415-2022 OR FAX AT (856)415-1766
illusion lighting is working with me via internet once I submit headlamp housing pics with measurments to see if we can maybe do a J30 lamp conversion or the like in a 1st generation Q. Contrary to what the board faithful here think, I just have a feeling that a newer look in the headlamps (even with lights off) will make the 1st gen Q look like a 2000ish vehicle as its body styling suggests, but its headlamps give away as older.
Will update when I know more.
Are the slotted and drilled rotors on ebay worth the 250 they cost?
What 245/40/18 tires do you all recommend for the Q's weight problem? The jap tires are cheaper, but will never last past 25k.

FYI---keith does have a pretty good connection with the parts guy at a local infiniti dealership. can't argue that joe's prices are better(let him know by phone that you are a NICO member), but if time becomes an issue, keith's are definitly in the ballpark. DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE STILL THE MAN JOE!!!! jeff
