First gen Q45s were Infiniti Q45s everywhere, even Japan (though Japan also got the President on which the Q was based). Same badging and everything. They were sold at Nissan dealers as Nissan Infiniti Q45s.

if you ever admit to that in public, I hope you get slapped

I've too have an '85 Turbo.

mine doesn't run, it's currently sitting on 4 flat tires, but damnit, it only has one dent and like NO rust.

even the strip under the taillights is spotless.

lmao to your response to the quote and mines the same way no rust anywhere and no major dents but it runs what will it take to get yours on the road again and would you be willing to sell it?

I intend to keep mine.

S12's hold a special place in my heart....right beside big titties and puppy eyes.

I actually learned to drive a manual in a CA20 powered hatch.

mine was rebuilt before the turbo went out (it sat this way for a year or so before being given to me about 2 years ago..I just haven't gotten around to messing with it really so god knows what it needs now)

when I get a little time on a weekend shortly I'm gonna rebuild the stock T2 and get a battery and see if she'll crank. Once it's running I'm gonna start collecting parts for an IC and T25 swap.

My dad once had a 85' 200sx from Germany, whitehatch

no i don't remember what edition/engine it was, but I do know it either had the CA18ET or the FJ20ET, because he Factory Ordered the car, and he wanted the highest horsepower Nissan could Equip the car with at the time, oh that and to have the Left Hand drive so he could bring it over, I was 5 at the time he got rid of it for a truck for his work, and he's dead so...it's one of two.

If i could just find his old Registration papers...

one of the three no wait four Nissans on my list to get

S-13 240sx Hatch & CoupeS-12 87' V6Z31 300zxZ32 300zx

in actually I'm looking at Buying a 240sx soon, then looking at Selling my truck (or just keeping it so I can do a V6 conversion if I can't find a V6 200sx) and hoping to find a 87' V6 SE for a daily driver.

Too bad I didn't start to truely appreciate these cars till about 2 years ago.

I solely admit I am a Nis-dict how can anyone deny the awesomness that is Nissan?

tell me about it.

I'm gonna rebuild the stock t2 in a few weeks then send off an SR T25 and let it get rebuilt properly and start hoarding parts for the swap after I get the car running again.

I blame work now, before, I didn't have the money...now I work all the damn time....I need to get my friend who is sitting on a pair of 86 Corollas into a competition to see which one of us gets a track car ready first.

he already has one that runs...
