hey I'm not knockin it. from the angle looking down on the boat and the rocks on the bank the boat APPEARS to be very small. If it is a real boat it is one bad a$$ boat. One I could only dream of owning/driving..... um following behind in my inflatable canoe with a missing oar and a slow leak....

Well I'd like to think I have the nicest Q around.

Every component on my Q is brand-new OEM and installed according to factory specs.

Check my sig. :D

-New japanese take-out engine-factory-reman. transmission-Z32 rear diff

In short, my Q is mechanically-sound, cosmetically-unblemished, aurally-superior and physics-defyingly fast.

That photo was taken at Lake Powell, and the larger-than-life rock formations at Powell will indeed make any vessel look like an RC toy. Rest assured, at over 14,000 pounds on the trailer, she's full size.

For perspective, here's a shot of the boat in the exact same location, taken from a different angle and shot farther away. Sorry for the crappy resolution of the tiny attachment size, hope you can make out the boat from the canyon walls.

How did you manage to post a pic of that size? Whenever I add an attachment, I'm always told by the board that it has to be limited to 300 X 300 pixels. Is it a case of different sized attachments allowed for posters of different tenure?

The boat came equipped with 400 wheel chocks. Pretty crappy job of loading it on the trailer, I have to admit. Lots of stares at the launch ramp. Shortly after this picture was shot, I downsized to the current boat for reasons of practicality.

No love for my baby?

I can guarantee mine probably one of the most pristine examples on the boards, if not in the nation (with the exception of Brian's ultra-low mileage 95). Can't think of a component that hasn't either been replaced with new or has been deemed fully-functional by the numerous Master Techs who spend an awful lot of time with her...

BTW, I'd most like to drive Aries' 240. :D


Id have to say that AZ Hitmans Q was very nice! Super clean and one of the nicest Qs ive had the chance to see.

You have to have it hosted on the web, then you put tags around its url.

use http://www.eniety.com/pichost or http://www.nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost to host

Thanks Alty! That's kind of you to say....:)

I have a couple banners left, I was shipping them for $16 (what I paid plus postage).

I'll drop you one in the mail ASAP if you'd like.

aren't they a little too big for my back windsheild in my 240. I know a Q's back window is bigger. I'll let you know when I get my car back. It went back to the shop today. I might go to the local sticker making palce and have them do something custom for me in color. I'm trying to get some local nissan people to get on our site.

Lake Powell is one of my favorite places in the world, just a two hour drive from my house with a boat or an hour and a half in the Q. Drive the Q when I go just to play the Lake Powell National Golf Course.

Since we're talking American Muscle Cars and Boats and Q's - thought I might drop a bomb about one of my project cars getting featured on a pretty cool web site.

We're almost done putting a 96-98 Ford Cobra Mustang motor into what was a 87 LX Coupe 4 cyl body. New suspension, motor, and interior is next. You can peep it here.

and here

Nowhere near as complex and involved as the Q45a, but still a cool project [imo]

Are those plug wires running all over? Still back in the sixties for the ignition system, I see.

Probably the best ford engine one will see until the Ford GT is produced.
