You really don't know what you are talking about. why? 1) infini III's DO have rear hatch wipers. 2) people change seats. It's pretty easy to do. Left loosey, righty tighty.
There are soooo many internet experts on the infini series. They seem to have a lot of knowledge to disperse. Well, I have an infini III. An '89 and I've had it going on two years. It was basically stock when I got it. Same way my '89 Turbo II was when I bought it many years ago. I know about both versions on both sides of the pond. Their similarities and differences. Big and small alike. Please know about what you speak of before adding something to the discussion. Please don't spread misinformation.

Altogether, ship and extra parts, I have spent around $6500CND
I don't plan on doing much more engine mods. They are already done, I just hope its tuned properly. I am interest in learning to tune

well that's what 2010-11 that we can import the first 2nd gens? lol, that'll give you about 1-2 years to enjoy it before we die at the Mayan's appointed time.
