i would go with what your gut says... if you can afford it, and it wont hurt you at all financially, and its something you really like, than go for it.

Yeah, the M45 was sweet but the Volvo was just too good of a deal

Actually, I decided against the M even though it was everything I wanted...power, luxurious, sharp exterior. After the payments and insurance as well as me supporting Jenni, it comes too close for comfort...

On an off note, the M45 just bested the new i550, e550, and GS450h in a C&D Comparo. If the old model can do that, what will the new one do.

Cousin Ryan

dude, why are volvo parts so hard to find???

DasTeknoViking
10-01-2006, 01:03 AM
S60R is not exacly a popular car, and looking for one at a junk yard will not bring any results.

I like the way it looks, but I have ran one about 3 times now on the highway and we are even from 70MPH if I stay in 4th or even 5th gear.... but 70MPH from 3rd on, dude just doesnt wanna accept the fact my Maxima is a SE-R (special exotic racecar). I see him on my commute to work sometimes. Nice car, sounds nice when at WOT under boost thanks to that 5 cylinder motor.

walec05
10-01-2006, 07:20 AM
yeah, that sound is awsome. the 5 cyl really does wonders.

Motor Works Infiniti JUST opened for bussiness in Hoffman Estates, on the corner of Golf Rd and Remington (I think) Dr. I drove by there today (I drive out west on Golf very rarely) on my way to Home Depot and Menards and spotted a black on black 03 M45 with factory chrome 18" wheels. Looks killer, sitting right up front. I would love to own it... but unfortunatelly I want one of these for next winter !

I still dunno why you want that VK45 POS.... I said this before and I will say it again, NISSAN 2002+ engines are turds. Why I don't own a M45 is- engine related.

Get a older Q45.

walec05
10-02-2006, 06:59 PM
i think the m45 looks better than that Q45, but thats only my opinion.

DasTeknoViking
10-02-2006, 07:02 PM
I showed one to Ty, asking 13K for a 01 Q45 vs 27 for his 04 M45....... 14K dollars buys you a nice Kia for a winter beater !

THT
10-02-2006, 07:03 PM
i think the m45 looks better than that Q45, but thats only my opinion.

I like that Q that Mike posted more but I figure a set of coilovers, JDM wheels and maybe a grill is the way to go. I may not mod my 3.5 as much now...

There are others for sale if you look auto trader closer. I wouldn't mind one like I had.... I found almost identical car to mine for 3300 bux.

DasTeknoViking
10-02-2006, 07:29 PM
94 with 118K miles on it, sold it for 1800 bux with stock 5th gen 17" wheels on it. I shoot myself in the foot everytime I remember it. I just wanted the car gone, after all that hard work into the upper part of the engine, the untouched bottom end decided to go- spun a rod bearing. I put new bearings in it and sold it. I'm sorry I wouldn't sell it to anyone but a dealership, I didn't wanna fuck anyone over.

walec05
10-02-2006, 07:46 PM
AH, ok. i would have bought the car from you if i knew it was that cheap. shit, i probably would have let you build the engine for me too. oh well, thats the past and now im looking for a cheap project car...that one would have been nice.

DasTeknoViking
10-02-2006, 07:51 PM
Depends on what U want.... you could get a old J30 and stuff a VG30DETT into it. Fits right in, they came with VG30DE stock.... one helluva sleeper, and RWD :)

walec05
10-02-2006, 08:05 PM
thats kind of what i want....a nice sleeper, that i can hit the street and strip with. i got to look more into that, after all, i got the whole winter to mess with it.

There's a cream colored M30 convertible that still cruises around the western burbs (Downers, Lisle). I pass it a lot on the way home from work on the stretch of Butterfield Road from Rt 53 to I-355. I've seen a few M30's, but all topless.

DasTeknoViking
10-05-2006, 09:48 PM
Interior looks very old school.... they actually use these for drifting in Japan. They came with VGs and RBs there, and with 4 doors also. Cool car, but unless I got one for next to nothing I wouldn't be hunting one down so I could make it a sleeper.... like I said next to nothing, sure it would get a RB swap :)

oh and mike the tire marks are only about 10-15 feet long depending on how shitty the tires are.

One of the techs from Woodfield Nissan bought one like a month ago- from Woodfield Nissan, they had 2 M45s...... well those big rains we've had ? Yeah he hydrolocked the motor.

I have begun to like the TL alot more than I used to, we have yet to get a 6spd Type S in- the 07s just arrived this week.... but even then the 6spd 06 TL is pretty good car, I like beating on those things :) Interior finally has stopped rattleing- after all those bulletins and fixes they finally got the 06-07 interiors to be rattle free.

but the thing can still burn rubber. just not for 50ft and only with the right wheel in the rain.

No, it really does. This would be fun to do to it though...

I have a set of S-tech's for it but everyone who's installed them has said they'd never do it again if they had the chance. :(

first you have to drop it. tint out the headlights and those turnsignals in the mirror and open up that restrictive exhaust.

what the size of your current wheels....

yeah, you should have. the m gets a bit crappier gas mileage and cost a little more. but the damn car looks alot better than the G, hands down.

my thoughts going in was that it would more $$ to repair. just simple interior parts can get really pricey since the M is a rare car so no ebay auctions, junk yards, you know would have them. But after i agreed to buy my G i was offered extended warranty which is covers MORE then the factory for $2000 for the next 5 years/ 100k, no deduct at all.

but i've already maxed out my funds and made up my mind that the G was going to be a 3-5 year car and i didn't need the warranty. But hell... $2000 for 5 more years thru inifiniti is a GREAT deal. wish i did get it at time of purchase.

they had a black 03 M45 there as well, they wanted +2k more then my G, they didn't want to sell it for cheap tho. so i took the 4k off the asking price and was happy. my G feels like a turd. the m45 was a nice car to drive, extremely long but nice.

18x8 and 18x9...I can now use staggered wheels properly :woot:

I get 20mpg in mixed driving. At 65mph, I get 26mpg which isn't too bad for a V8.

Dude, my fuel economy is pretty decent but then again, I drive like a granny now.

Yeah, 18s. I couldn't find a decently priced set of 19s that I liked.

We all gave him crap, but it's expensive.

Body Kit is $2k with no paint.

The drops available S Techs or Eibachs. S Techs are crap for the car, and Eibachs are on back-order.

For wheels he didn't want to spend more than $2k.

On top of it the car has payments :noes:

All good reasons for not VIP-ing it yet

I just hope you don't join the BMW bandwagon.... last I heard they are changing Maxima.org to exMaximanowBMWbandwagoners.org

New and German..... it better be packing a large V8 under the hood. C63 would be quite alright in my books.

Mike means in general. He's right, the org rides BMW's balls like you wouldn't believe. You'd think they were Bimmer owners. They're nice cars and all, but it gets pretty bad.
