thats a really nice S5 you got there!!! it interests me that in japan... the older the car and more mileage it has... the more expensive the taxes are on it, etc. results in older cars with ridiculously low mileage and in very nice conditions as well. thats a badass car man. you live in canada i noticed... is it just a straight shot to import cars there?

haha i love generalizations. im Alaskan and everyone thinks its igloos and eskimos fishing on ponds. WRONG!!! there are big *** cities and warm weather although there is the remote parts of it as well. its like any other upmost northern state just with about 20 hours of daylight. haha.

it wasn't difficult to import cars here the only headache you have is the cars from japan only have 10 digit vins and they cant tell anything about the car specs. if anybody is in the toronto area let me know i'll give you all the info you need

Looks like an Infini, not sure if it is a III or IV though.

thankx for all the feed back guys and yes it is a aftermarket intercooler, it's taller and a little longer and no those aren't modena rims those are hashizaki 505 racing rims there center hub cap is missing because they are 22 karat gold caps.

It sure does appear to be an Infini. Are the seats slightly reclineable? If they are it's a IV if not it's a III.

the line that splits the rad hose is the aftermarket colant temp.
and yes the seats are slighty reclined.

Not really the best place for the sending unit...if the thermostat sticks close you really don't have anyway of knowing until it was to late.

Really clean car ... nice find!
