Is that a stock gauge there in the vent? Also, is that a little leg cushion for cornering? That's really cool.

Beautiful FC, beautiful pics. Any plans for it?

no its not a stock gauge in the vent. its a HKS 80mm peak hold boost gauge the old owner installed. it has a HKS braket that is made to mount in the vent.

yes its a leg pad. there are two of them on the door and and one on the trans tunnel/audio console area.

every Infini I have seen the door pad is split open like mine is. I priced the pad from Madza a few days ago to get replacement they want almost $200 for the pad.

Its neat to have but it gets in the way when your trying to get of the car in a tight parking ( at least it does for me my foot hits it when getting out.)





Right now the plan is to
fix the body work
put a stock wing on it
take the RE Amemiya bumper caps off
get a front lip.
get some wheels.
Install a Power FC
fuel pump / filter
replace injectors
repaint it, most of the paint is good but some places the clear coat is pealing and there is some rust around where they mounted the rear wing.


I have not desided yet if Im going to mod out this car or not. with there only being 600 ver 4's. Im tossed up on if I should or not. I really want a 2nd one that I can build up. and keep this one like it is. But I dont have enough space to keep that many cars. I only have 1 parking spot at home right now and I have 3 cars. I have been looking for some shop space of my own to store / park cars.

If you're not gonna mod it up a lot, I think at least a mild boost up and a few bolt ons (so long as you keep the original parts, somewhere...) wouldn't hurt the value of the car by much...

Just mod what wasn't improved from the base FC...

Btw, if I was to go look for a kouki FC in Japan, what sort of price range would I be looking at? according to Yahoo Japan Autos, the average is about 3500, although a lot of the cars don't even have a Shaken, or they have a lot of aftermarket parts (Coilovers, wheels, aero parts, etc).

And is that the stock steering wheel? Pretty cool...

I love the scenery, very nice.



As fo the car, that is one of the nicest FC's I have ever seen. I pesonally would remove the rear spoiler altogether and also take the badging off the rear. I know some people will call that crazy, but man that would make for one sleek looking car.


I love the wheels on it too.
