Just wondering about going with a VIP build on this car. I did ALOT of research already and it seems like they are very popular in Japan. I'm pretty set on two aero kits and a couple of wheel choices already =)

Any guys own and modded one here with pics?

TIA

 

anyone out there?

 

Not too many here. One year only. They are really popular in Japan as it was the Cima and Infiniti basicly just rebadged it and sent over here.

I'd love to see a modded 03 M45 though. I've posted pics of some seriously nice body kits for them

thanks man... i actually have seen those threads as well.

doing a lot of researching cause I'm seriously thinking about selling my TN ST 350z and go for a milder lifestyle, where I can't modify the engine much or atleast plan on modifying it much. though i'm sure the VK45DE has very serious potential.

just a kit, wheels and suspension work, while I try to get out of college and be stable. hopefully =)

 

2 model years actually, not one. '03 and '04. The Y50 was introduced in late '05 as an '06.

And the Y34/35 was NOT a Cima. The Cima was sold here as the F50 Q45. The Y34/35s JDM counterpart was the Gloria whose sister car was the Cedric. The Cedric/Gloria were mechanically similar but featured slightly different styling. The Ms styling mirrored that of the Gloria more than the Cedric. You can tell from the pictures below that the M was most certainly NOT a Cima.

F50 Cima (notice how the Cima clearly resembles the Q)





Y34 Gloria (the car which the '03-'04 M was based on)





Y34 Cedric (sister car to the Gloria)





Y34/35 M

 

IMO, Nico has more Y34 M's than these forums
