Urmyhero4now(Ron)'s G50 Q45 last photoshoot
So its come to that time guys. I just finished my q45 about two weeks ago and took it out for a spin yesterday for a photoshoot with my buddy John Mai( www.lafontaineinc.com ). During the transportation of the vehicle from my house to the two spots. My transmission went out. There is plenty of things wrong with the motor and tranny with this car. And it sucks but im just glad to have finally finished it and got a photo with one of my cars before i have to part with it.
It hurt me yesterday. You can see in the photo of me standing in front of my car. At that point i already knew my car was shot.
It was a good run. So on February 22nd, 2009 this car has been retired and will never be seen again past these photos that i hope help the car last over the net. Hopefully people can get inspiration from the car. I built this thing from the ground up. Im sure some of the OG's on the forum would be able to tell you how far this car has came.
The only time this car ever hit the shop was to get the paint sprayed.
First and foremost i want to thank my lady Suzie(Labeaumonde). If it was not for this girl installing my front upper control arms and wheels while i was gone running around, this car would have never got done.
It should be super easy for guys to setup q's now with what ive done i hope.
So here it is guys. mod list is below.
Oh and the car will be getting parted out as soon as i can come to my senses to part with it.

thanks everyone. Yea im done with the car. I have to start building up my house right now so i dont even have time to tear it down at the moment. But as soon as i can i will let people know if they want to pick some stuff up.
I doubt i would have placed anything. Not alot of people appreciate a simple setup at any shows now a days. my car was nothing special. just some wheels and suspension.
Only people who are true enthusiasts would understand a clean setup(and 99% of the time they are not judges.

Are your 240sx RUCAs a half moon shape or a circle around the strut? I have aftermarket 240sx RUCAs and mine are half moon, but after about 6 months the weight of the car bent them so much they created about -9* camber and were rubbing on my coilovers. Just keep an eye on them, I think 300zx ones that are a circular shape are the safest.
But anyway that looks awesome man, you're really kicking my ass that I didn't get a President rear end when I had the chance.

Too bad your tranny took a dump on you. Consider just putting another one in, for real!
If you really don't want to do it though, your president trunk/lights will find a good home on another DJ2 G50! Mine. Seriously if you decide to part it out, I'll buy those parts.

There's a Nissan/Infiniti specific junkyard in Sacramento I've heard of. You may wanna try there first. They may offer a better warranty than your local pick-n-pull.
