Ethanol (new to ATL) is killing the injectors on my '92 Q, and dealer happened to have a G sedan without a sunroof (I need the headroom).... so why not?

A few impressions after first day:

* Interior is very high quality compared to Nissans... except the carpet and the floormats. May have to get Nissan all weather mats or aftermarket rubber mats. Advice?

* Interior lighting is not very romantic -- the maps lights are like being in the dentist's chair.

* Base stereo has a lot of room for improvement, I wish they offered the premium audio without the sunroof. CDs sound noticeably better than XM radio -- but this is my first experience with sat radio, so having fun with that.

* Silver wasn't my first choice (was thinking black or red) but it's practical. It looks naked without a tint, will take care of that soon. Any suggestions for a quality flat black tint? (prefer no mirror/metallic effect)

* No sunroof adds a lot of headroom in the rear too (or so it seems). Rear seat doesn't feel clausterphobic at all, and I'm 6'2"/220 with short legs and long torso. Rear headroom is better than Altima, Maxima, and M35 -- all of which have a steeply sloped roof which cuts off rear headroom.

I was thinking of waiting to see how the '09 Maxima felt (saw it at auto show, but couldn't sit in it) but I decided it looks like a whale shark.

No regrets with the G! (other than car payments)

 

Yeah! No roof!!! Congrats!

 

Any others in our club?

 

Congrats!!! Great choice in color by the way!

 

Congrats man.

 

Congrats and i liked the older Q's great cars...

 

welcome to the club! i'm in atlanta too man and I just got my car tinted by Barry Woods, he uses quality tint and it only costs $140!!! you can check out my car to see the work if you want, i work in the dunwoody area and live in midtown.

The guy that did my tint lives in Lawrenceville, right off sugarloaf parkway. His number is 770-963-7924 and his name is Barry Woods. You can't beat the quality and definitely not the price. Oh yeah, I don't have a sunroof either!

 

^ Thanks..... will call Larry and see what he has. I called around to see what's out there.... may want to try a ceramic tint, Solarworks has a formula 1 version for $350. A little steep, but I got a cheapo tint job on the old Q and it hasn't aged well.

 

Agreed.

I'm tempted to fix it, keep it, and make it a weekends car. But I'm probably better off selling it to someone as is and let them fix it themselves. It would be a great project car -- or drift machine.
