That's right I just purchased a one owner I30T with 50 K miles on it. It's in almost perfect condition and the best part is it's a 5 speed manual!
I will get some pics up soon while I figure out what to so first, Wheels, springs, cenfiros, Who knows but I like it.

 

Congrats, and I'm jealous of the 5-speed

 

congrats on the rare find... I couldn't find a manual I30, so I made my own!

Look forward to seeing the pics.

 

Sounds sweet.....what color?

Post pics!

 

Probably Beige/Beige.. I saw that car too..

 

How much?

Just so I can kick myself for missin out

 

It's a very dark green color with the tan interior. It looks great. Payed $6500.00
But it really is mint not even a door ding. Pics soon....

 

DAMN man that's a steal!!!

I paid 6200 for black/black with 102K!!!

Ah well.........I love mine and would have easily paid 7k for it!

Gluck with it and enjoy the 5speed!

 

Very nice! Where were was this when i was looking for a 5-speed?

 

Purchased in Naperville last week. Found it at autotrader, I was the first one to see it. I really didn't know what I was looking for I had just sold my Porsche 944S and wanted something fun to drive but more reliable than the Porsche so the 5 speed caught my attention. It's not as fun as the p car but it is a very nice ride.

 

congrats on the car

 

Put a strut tower bar, an intake, and y-pipe on it.

 

and illuminas, springs, rims, tires, cat back, mevi, sts, flywheel/clutch, and SC...

 

Let the mods begin.

 

nice buy dude good luck with it.

 

Same here.

 

Congrats on the insane deal, and welcome to the .org! I payed $5,400 for one with 150K, and it took two months to find!!

 

Must have been owned by that proverbial little old lady (who couldn't drive stick).

Congrats!

 

i am new here ... i think i surpassed all deals when i tell u i got a black on black 98 i30 with 42k miles mint condition automatic for 6,700$ needed a tune-up that's it.... ill put up pics soon... anyone know a cheap way to get the tail lights black out?

 

And the empty pockets...

 

And it is not really all that bad of a project either... I ran into more problems with my custom SC project than the tranny swap.

 

congrats...

 

nice find....

 

I still need to get some pics up. I am thinking about some wheels and tires. Which ones do you think look best on the I30?

 

Same here!!!!!!!! I looked for 4 months for a 5 Spd. Infiniti I30. Good job on the find....i'm jealous.

 

17" G35 Sport sedan wheels.

 

I thought hard about the G35 wheels but I didn't really like the way they look on the car.

 

The 5-spoke Sport package ones from the Sport Sedan are pretty rare. Have you checked those, or just the regular sedan/coupe rims?

 

These are the ones that I meant...

 

Nice snag! In for pics.

 

I don't think they're coming...

 

Why is that?

 

He has not been back in this thread for almost 2 months...

 

Oh .

 

Here is a link with the long awaited pictures of my car. Let me know what you think? I didn't know how to post the pics in the message. Maybe someone can clue me in?

Very nice! The car is in great shape... you really scored a good deal there...

Now you need a short throw shifter to get rid of that flag pole...

 

Who sells the short shifter?

 

B&M...

You should also hook it up with a new suspension set up.
