My New Infiniti J30

[swimshark]

Here are a few pics and some info on my car.

I had a 1994 Infiniti J30 and after an incident in the mountains of north GA it ended up having some frame damage. It was the first car that I did a manual swap on so a lot of the work on it was not as good since I learned with it. All the J30s USDM and JDM did not have a manual option. All the USDM J30s have the VG30DE like the 300zx z32. JDM J30s had a VH41DE option available. February of last year my Auto trans died and I decided (with the push of a few friends) to do a manual swap into my car.

This second time around let me get a better chassis and a better color that I will admit looks a lot better than my gold one. Most of the mods done to my car are done with a lot of research to see what will fit onto the car. There is basically no after market parts available for this car at all in the USDM market.

Do you ever hit the pull-a-part or R&R (I think it's U-pull-it now) off Buford Highway? They always have a few J30s between them and they remain largely untouched because of how rare they are.

[boosted_nonv]

Always respected u doing something different man, same route I took building a volvo good stuff man good stuff

[ava_Z32]

[2turbo4u]

this car with those rims make the j30 look sexy now you need the touring spoiler?

[swimshark]

been doing werk. i got the wheels from a friend for putting his SC300 back together. since last post, my 94 motor spun a rod bearing so did a full motor swap and some in 2 days. newer motor feels better and is making a bit more power. been cleaning up those wheels but need money to get them welded up on 2 of them cause they have a crack. also still looking for tires for the rear. already got 2 for free for the front. 245/40r18 for the front and either 275/35-285/35-295/30r18 for the rear.

Always loved your j30 and give you props for the manual swap.

can't wait to see the new wheels on. One thing though, I wish you tinted the tail lights instead of blacking them out.
