Warning Fake Infini, can you spot whats wrong?

If anyone is buying cars from Japanese Auction, I post this info so that you do NOT buy this car thinking it is a real Infini Ver 4.

Can you spot whats wrong with the car.

I checked the vin the auction company gave me with Mazda, and it is not an Infini ver 4 its a GT-X

The pictures are here in the thread. I didnt want to double post the pics around the net

like someone said on the other thread it doesn't have the 9k tach, i can't see much of anything else as the thing has been hacked to hell.

Door panels, weren't they just a solid color instead of that vertical line pattern? I'll look for some interior shots on the web.

have no fear, node are here!
i have never seen a real infini, so this is all from what ive learned on the forums

REAL
1) looks to have the tubular infini strut tower bar, not sure if theyre red like that one.
2) Infini spec factory CB radio!
3) looks to have the real Mazda pedals. Dunno if those were just a catalog item or stock on infini. I know they were avail. in japan though
4) front wheels look like the real 16" infini BBS

FAKE
1) looks to have ac? i guess it was an option, but ive never seen a real inf before
2) erm, door speakers? i know the GTUs has the super simple slim radio, id assume inf does too
3) POWER WINDOWS! that one im pretty positive about
4) i know the s4 sports didn't have bins and just had carpet. dunno about s5. im guessing that they did have bins though
5) looks to have power mirrors too, im sure inf wouldve been manual everything other than steering.

good your right about the strut tower bar. That one looks to be RE Amemiya bar ( or a greddy bar that RE Amemiya repainted and sold as their own,
but there is more in the engine bay too

Real Infini has
Power Windows but no Power Locks
Im told A/C was an option but I have yet to see one that didnt have it.
Radio was also an option most please added one.

yeah the CB cracks me up too

Even though it appears to have an aftermarket head unit, the antenna means that it had a radio before. That's a no no for infini's.

there is lots more clues

one is the windows are no brozen tint

and

the seat belt locks are to short.
in a infini the lock side is longer to reach around the better.
