Default Farewell GS...

As some of you may know, I sold my GS4. Now it's time to move on. I picked up an '01 Q45t (Y33). I plan to go VIP on this unlike my old GS, which was more 'sport'.

So far I have a carputer, rims, insurance kit, nissan OEM parts and some other goodies. Airrunners came in yesterday (thanks TLW). Serial number on these bad boys are 0001. I've had this car for 1 month. It will be my most complete and fastest project yet.

I'll still be around, you guys are my internet family

Out with the old...


In with the new...

I like the old as well but the new has a lot of potential itself. Especially with the airrunners

As they say, newer is not always better. I like the "old" GS better than the Q45. But, if that's what makes you happy, then by all means

Good Luck with the new project.
