Infiniti Q45 Flagship Luxury Sedan, Track/Autox/Drift Build!

[subtledriver]

More pics for you people of the cosmis wheels test fitting.

I decided to delete and reroute some of the over complicated pipes, hoses and upgrade the fuel hoses and replace the coolant hoses while i was under the intake. my goal was to make it more simple, and easy to remove the plenum for track-side repairs.



first thing to go was this silly idle air control noise suppressor, then i routed a new idle air intake hose outside the plenum for easy removal next time.









my girlfriend is awesome! Got me pizza!





Pile of deleted parts...








All back together...

Loving the new wheels and the flairs. Hell, I just love full size sedans being thrown around on a track no matter what discipline it may be.

Thanks for the love guys! I dont have the new wheels yet, these are test wheels. I am working on getting a set of Cosmis wheels. They are really nice and look good on this car.

Okay SUB'D. Thing is on the verge of badassery.

I had a custom built, high capacity, aluminum baffled/trap door oil pan laser cut and built by https://www.facebook.com/glenn.wyatt.50, message him on fb for inquries, mention my build thread.

It should support an extra 2-3 quarts and has a temperature sender bung built in. This should ensure an extra layer of protection when taking high-G corners and drift transitions. Very Excited to install this along with the custom oil cooler-filter relocation system. I am guestimating the fill capacity will go from 7-7.5 quarts, to 11-12 quarts per oil change. Very convenient ;-p just pick up a case of oil when doing an oil change! hahaha!

Thanks man! Im glad you like!

I believe there is a kit somewhere for the z33 6-speed. Im using a z32 trans. has tall gears, good for a v8. Maxima? no, the later maxima is fwd, the early one has too small of a transmission... but im sure that was just a brain fart. Anyways thanks again.

[shippedout]

Yea that was a mistake on he Maxima lol

The work starts (hopefully) tomorrow for mounting the custom hand brake to the dash.





And I'm having trouble deciding on a wheel color! Cosmis Xy-206r. What do you think? Im leaning toward the black or bronze, they are more affordable too.

If the car is staying black I'd def say go with the bronze. So many reasons I miss living in SD, now this gets added to the list. Great build man
