Even though the aluminum pedals weren't infini specific, they're still really rare. I've seen maybe 3 sets for sale in the past 5 years. I got my set on ebay for like $120ish. Got super lucky, dead pedal and all.

If anyone comes across a pair let me know. I have always wanted them. I would say 120 is a STEAL. last pair I saw on eBay I bid up to 150 and the final price was 275$ I was floored haha

Very nice car man ! I was just speaking with a Rivsu rep at the Pre-24 Classic Mazda meet last month about the 25 year rule. Should be interesting in the next 5 years to see how many S5 FC's,FD's, R33's, etc pop up on the streets here in Florida.

You got a really sweet deal on this Infini. Most cars I've seen coming to the states imported have needed some serious body work. You must have had one hell of a dealer!

The car came from Garage-R, a specialty shop. http://www.garage-r.co.jp/src/search...0638&shop=1688

It was still a good bit of money, but I just had to. The car was repainted once and there are still sanding marks visible in the paint from going too quick. It also has rust in an unusual spot. It's at the top of the quarter panels above both rear wheels, inside the lip for the hatch.

That's an odd spot but water and humidity can do crazy things. My Camry had a whole car paint job for 3 years and it looked fantastic. and I took it off the road in April when picked it back up from my parents house in October the paint had peeled on the trunk, hood, and roof due to the rain heat and humidity

I know of quite a few people who bought cars from them, and when I was initially looking for an fc I was talking to them. Ended up going through a guy at the auctions. Took 5 months to get the perfect one but it worked out.

Easy fix though on that rust. Good to see that you didn't get taken advantage of with your purchase. Those guys at GarageR seem to be pretty forthcoming with all their information.

Beautiful car! I tried to buy a 1989 Infini here in Japan, but the owner didn't wanna sell it (even though I haven't seen the car move…ever). I managed to buy the original BBS wheels off of it though

I believe those wheels were made by BBS but am unsure of the name, does anyone know where I might find a pair, or an equivalent set?

They are made by BBS and are the 16" version of the convertible wheels. A very popular upgrade.
