HISTORY:
I got the car in March ’04 from South Bay Infiniti, the original dealer that sold the car in 1998. At first I thought I wanted to do a Japanese sedan with BMW M5 influence. I had only ever seen 1 Y33 Q45 with any modifications and loved it; it was a Japanese Cima GT with BBS LM’s. Soon after I got it, I discovered VIP and EXE styles and my plans changed. I still believe that modifications should not only make the car look better, but they should enhance its performance ability as well. Just because I’m driving a big luxury sedan doesn’t mean I can’t still have fun with it, so yes, I push the big beast quite hard.
I can honestly say I had one of the very first modded Y33 Q’s in the USA of any style, period. I’ve sold about 30 sets of TEIN S-Techs’ to other Y33 Q owners in the US and Canada, so chances are if you’ve seen a Q with TEIN’s, they came from me. I’m contacted almost daily by other Y33 owners looking for parts, or just general questions about them and I’m happy and honored to help my Y33 brothers and sisters out however I can, which of course will always include a link to NICO’s brilliant Q45 forum.
