Ouch... touche'.


Actually, wheels are coming, as soon as I find a set that I like, and I have the money

I guess money is the key thing.. damn college and lack of a better paying job!

I'm of the opinion that it's more fun and more unique to make your own Infini IV. For the TII you'll need the following parts to upgrade/change and Icemark can correct me if I'm wrong I'll make some recommendations based on parts quality/budget:

Infini IV
-Spring/shock upgrade (KYB AGX/Ground control)
-Attractive/light 16X7 or 16X8 (hey, wider looks better) wheels and nice tires (205/55/16 front, 225/50/16 rear).
-Front strut brace (Cusco, can't beat the price/quality)
-Upgraded Exhaust (RB = quiet, powerful)
-S5 nose/tail lights/wing if needed
-Removed sound deadening
-Upgraded seats (Corbeau is a nice low cost option)
-Momo Corse steering wheel (same as Infini IV, very cheap).
-New paint if needed

Thats a pretty simple recipe for a car that performs as well or better as an Infini IV (if the motor is healthy and maintained), looks good (if it's clean) and doesn't stand out too much (hence RB exhaust, or old school HKS for stock looking piece). You have the same basic upgrades as well as the same basic look (the S5 rear bumper is hard to find IMHO) plus it's your OWN creation. I love the Infini IV, but unless it's RHD it's not real also, didn't they make other Infini models other than the IV? I believe there was an S4 Infini model as well. Icemark?

i prefer spending money/time on mods that actually look different or have a functional use. not spending lots of money to ship something from japan just so i can say its jdm while usdm is almost identical. Ive seen ppl spend so much money on jdm parts (mostly civic owners) that honestly unless you were 2 feet away from it you wouldnt even notice the difference. like headlights my friend bought from japan that are jdm, they are like a inch longer and dont even really improve ligting, but he paid around 500 for them ... thats useless

Mr. Gadget

NZ, you said a few months back that the american version of the wheels are better, why? I would think the 16's look better and perform a bit better...

Also, anyone have the paint code for the black/green hue from this car? I am not into the conversion, however, i do like the color I have seen in pics.

What I meant was that some of the lower-spec JDM FC's came with some pretty hideous wheels stock. They made even the phone-dials look good...

IIRC the same 16" wheels are used in Japan and the US. Personally I hate the S4 TII 16" rims, but the S5's are great (I want some).

I believe some of the base models in Japan came with hub caps...or at least they looked like hub caps.

blueskaterboy
