Well I was saying for a while I was getting bored of the car and wanted something better. Well Ifinally pulled the trigger on one of these babies. I've been looking at 03 M45's for a while. Here's my before and after

Right now I'm going to enjoy it stock and do a full LED conversion inside and outside like the max. 6k headlight and 3k fogs and try to find some Y34 clear tails from japan. Around spring I'll start giving it some VIP platform treatment

thats wassup. i was thinking about getting a GS3 or a TL as a replacement and try to keep it stock..but i'm leaning more towards a truck. hoping to leave whatever i get next stock and just mod the beater/honda i have

I didnt realize they looked like that in those years. I've seen one outside of my work but it must be of the newest gen cause the body style is COMPLETELY different.

VERY vip on the interior. I drool over it every day. Enjoy it man

Actually, doing some more recent reading. You want the FX45 IM with the front inlet from what I just read.
Something else you could consider

I approve of this changeover. I was going to get one.. until I found my AWD, twin turbo, German over-engineered tank. Ahaha. Hope to see some updates soon.
I say you throw Skyline GTR 20's on it and call it a day.

Very nice, like that year and model too. As with what others have said, it's a great platform for the VIP look.

Do you know how much gas that would use up?....Like half a tank.Originally Posted by 7speed
Looking good. Glad u finally got switched up. You need to bring it to the track this weekend. See what you can run stock.

Wow, these are rare. Nice pick up! I'm sure it's fun to drive considering the power and the RWD. Haha I say you take out the resonators and the muffler like what this guy did - skip to :46
Sounds SOOO good

IF you do decide to do what the above suggests...
start out with muffler delete and see how that sounds. I did it on my y33 and it sounds wonderful. not too loud. not too quiet.
either way, very nice pickup, beautiful car. I have an obsession with y34's and am torn between next car either ls430 or y34...such a rare and beautiful car.
thumbs UPPPP
Damn that sounds goood! I might just do that and keep my muffler. I want it to sound good but not too loud to wake up the dead like that lol. Sounded good though.
