This is my 1999 Infiniti Q45T also known as the Cima Y33.

 

Nice! Nax was tellin me you were lookin at one of these. Good find man. This is my favorite VIP platform. What you gonna do about suspension?

 

This is gonna be crazy when done. VIP FTMFW.

 

oooo babies... VIPIzzzlee

 

Definitely gonna follow this project. Good luck with it man.

 

i like your previous taste, anxious to see what you have up your sleeve on this one

 

I have a feeling that this is going to be awesome. Definitely in for pics and progress.

 

Love these cars. Can't wait to see what you do to it

 

Thanx bro! I'm not too sure but I think I'm going with the JP Lowdown coilovers I wanna bag it but this car is a daily driver

 

I'm think about do the same thing. You can get a Y33 with ~80kmi around here for $6K.

 

Very nice car.
Don't bag it, coils ftw.
Looking forward to progress.

 

SoFlo... doing big things

 

Looks good Bro.. What did you do with your rims?

 

Love those cars can't wait to see it turn VIP

 

I still have them. Nax wants to put them on this weekend to see how they look

 

Bro u have noo idea. i have ALOT of homework to do

 

you should pick up my wheels for them ill cut you a good deal

/shameless plug lol

you keeping this as the build thread?

 

welcome to the club, and it is an FGY33 to be exact which is slightly different then the Y33 Cedric/Gloria. I may be selling my modded Y32 coils on mine as I will be doing a combo Schassis and air swap hopefully soon. What color wood trim do you have?


I have all four motors for the active stock suspension you still have.
I also have a spare headliner if you are interested in doing some custom interior work.

 

 

I hope you are going to lower that. Poke on stock height is really not acceptable. You are gonna want to cut off that big huge truck muffler in the rear as well and just weld on straight pipes to tips. Of course you could do a full exhasut but that will be enough short term

 

lol what kind of question is that! are u kidding me? Am i going to lower it? smh.. truck exhaust. wtf are u talking about? And FYI i bought the car about 2 and a half weeks ago! Im not made of money foo

 

Um, not sure if you are joking or you are mad??? look under the car and you will notice that there are 2 mufflers up front after the second set of cats and then the huge 2 1/2 to 3 foot muffler in the rear. You can cut that last one off and just weld some pipes to tips. I did it on mine for about $30 bucks and it sounds so much better.

Mine

you can see just the tips in this old pic

and before I had the hood resprayed and the USDM grill painted black.



I may be picking up a Parts car soon if you need something. LMK

 

Oh just messing around. But I didn't know that. Your car looks very good. I was wondering how the tails looked tinted. Not bad. How does your car perform after removing the muffler?

 

The throttle is slightly better, but it sounds so much better. Thanks

 

Lovely just lovely. I'm subscribed to this thread

 

bag it!

 

Very nice. Can't wait to see the VIP setup.

 

welcome to the darkside. s14 suspension conversion is the way to go on these. nice grab on the color combo/milage.

 

S14??

 

I WANT to but this is a daily driver...

 

So many rim choices! ugg...

 

^ First set FTW.

 

Nice purchase. Go with the first set of wheels IMO.

 

the y33 can be converted to 240sx coilovers. check out vipstylecars.com for more info. suspension section tutorial.

nice job on listing the most typical "vip wheels" ever. try harder.

 

You dont know the first thing about VIP!

LOL. I'm guilty of having had the second set listed.

When are we going to see more pics of your project?

 

HAHA u guys are funny. way to Bash! doesnt matter because ill be the first to admit this is a new project for me. Pay Attention

 

Try harder? for what? Thats my taste. Go get yah own Q.

 

mrr hr3's would be my choice

 

when there are pics to be shared.

 

been had a q bro... a real q45, not a q41.

take your time to pick out wheels. theres a lot more out there than the (mostly) typical choices you posted. a lot of people go with them anyway, but just as many end up selling very quick because they get deeper into the style. suspension should be first on your list anyway, so you can pick the proper fitment at whatever ride height you chose.
