My new whip, yo...
 
Well, I bought my new car, and what I bought my surprise some...

A 1992 Nissan President Sovereign...black of course!

That's right folks, my new car even has a name already; totally by coincidence, in the same week, the USA get a new President, who's black...hence my car, "The Barack", if you follow me...

I'm REALLY happy with it...I've been into VIP cars for a while now, actually since I saw my first Skyline. I think the super-VIP'ed out cars are kinda cool, but the super-negative cambered wheels, and clearing the ground by less than an inch, is obviously not practical...

What I'm going for is more like an M5...but not an M5. A Japanese M5. My plans for this car will keep it pretty stock, just because the engine can't be modded too much, save for an air intake and a slightly tweaked ECU. But I am adding GTR suspension, and my detachable Momo wheel...

And of course, my 18x10 Works...The wheels on it now are actually pretty nice, I would keep them, but I'd rather sell them and get other goodies. My Works are more to my style. That's basically what I'm doing; making the car totally unique and my own...even more than the GTR.

Oh, and of course the fugly DOT headlights are going pronto!!!

Possible long term plans, to complete my "Japanese M5", is adding a 300ZXTT manual tranny...

But right now, I'll be replacing the OEM TV in the back with a new one, a touchscreen double-din stereo (none right now!), alarm of course...and some cosmetic interior bits.

Specs on the President:

4.5L V8 VH45DE 280hp engine, shared with the North American Infiniti Q45
Sovereign model 22" longer than the normal version!
FULL Junction Produce body kit, with rare over-fenders
Rear TV, reclinable heated rear seats, climate control etc.
Power EVERYTHING

I'm really falling in love with this thing! The wheels are FS by the way, ad soon to come :)

Here are some pics I stole from NK's website, and my own, next to my buddy's Civic, which some may recognize from my photoshoot a few months back:

Here it is next to the Civic...to gauge the size of my car, both rear bumpers are in line!!!

InvisibleSoul 01-25-2009 11:20 PM

That thing's a boat... how does the length compare to... say a 7 series?

alex.w *// 01-25-2009 11:29 PM

hire a chauffeur and enjoy the ride from the back seat

asian_XL 01-26-2009 12:11 AM

vision87 01-26-2009 12:17 AM

- kT 01-26-2009 12:44 AM

Very VIP if you're into this sorta thing.

Roll up to a local club in this. Win!

Harvey Specter 01-26-2009 12:55 AM

That's right, it's RWD :P

Rims are a JDM brand called Kreutzer...they are pretty nice, but I'd like to change em.

Haven't posted on VIPstylecars yet, but I will :)

Probably about the same length as a new 750iL, not the normal version though...longer than a Merc E55, my boss has one and I'm pretty sure it's longer...my rims ripped off the AMG design of course :)

!SG 01-26-2009 06:15 AM

im pretty sure the wheel base is longer than a 7 series. you should see Jun's president. its freakin massive!

Don't mind me if I'm wrong but that shop opening partially covered by the dumpster.....does that shop specialize in selling those VIP/DUB wheels?

I bought a set of 18s off CL and I seems to have gone to exactly this place to get them....is this on Langley Bypass?

and ooh the 4.5 version with extended wheelbase. I just noticed that. Good job. Sticking a manual in it is so out of character tho... maybe buy the manual bits and keep it aside and install when the auto does fail (probably won't haha)

kumbo1 01-26-2009 07:40 AM

I wonder if you could do a direct front end swap to the Q45??

keifun 01-26-2009 10:55 AM

this ride screams out "Yakuza"..hahaha

luvin' the JDM VIP baller ride.
