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:

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 :)

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)

Hehe ya actually Jun and I were talking for a while...I test drove the white one and was going to buy it; but I decided against the white, and I love my black cars...plus mine has over fenders :D Jun's is in great shape though! Ours are the same model, same length...it is HUGE!!!

Ya I've seen Calasecond's car! That thing is awesome...some different options though it looks like: sunroof, mirrors with lights...OH MAN I can't wait to get my proper headlights!!!

Yay, 3rd one in Vancouver! Someone needs to buy Jun's so we can roll as a fleet...

I'll definitely be at DTP this year :D

Ya, plenty of q45 front end swaps out there, but you need a hood, fenders, bumper, lights and grille...

Definitely thought Yakuza when I bought it hehehe...too bad I'm as white as they come :(

Hehe ya, it's for the foglights :) It's not hooked up right now, I ripped it off because it was digging into my knee! I'm gonna replace it with a nicer looking switch and relocate it to the dash, there's a blank near the ignition.

I have 87,000 km :) Reliability of the VH is good, given it's regularly maintained. The timing chain in early models (mine) is known to fall off due to plastic chain guides, at certain mileage. Something I will change in a few months. Other than that the VH is a very solid Japanese V8 :)

Look up Q45's on NICOclub, there's plenty of info, the Q45 shares most parts.

Nice buy. That one has been for sale for a while now. I have considered the white President as well. Love the kit and wheel fitment. I decided I wanted to stick with newer cars though. I bought a white 02 Q45 (F50) in California last summer. Only a few things done so far like Cima grill and Garson glitter shifter.

I am not sure why you want a Momo wheel and GTR suspension. Personally I think you should read up on VSC. Keep it VIP style!

Too slow: Yes those are 20" FX wheels on "Marksports" Q45

Finally got my JDM headlights delivered, from a company called Panda Garage in El Cajon, California. Probably the only set on this side of the water! Night and day difference in appearance, it finally looks how it should. However, not exactly what I wanted, I want the kouki headlights from the later models. They kept this body style from 1990-2002, and there were minor cosmetic changes. I have the Kouki grille, which is larger and more modern looking, but the kouki headlights were HID stock and just look newer and brighter. Cheapest set I've seen on Yahoo Japan were about 90,000 yen!

And here are some interior shots, very roomy back there :D Keep in mind, both front seats are all the way back! I'll be chopping out that old CRT TV and putting in a new LCD monitor and run it off the double DIN deck I'll be getting soon. Still sorting out suspension issues and waiting on parts...

You'll notice some interior bits are a bit roughed up...I'll be replacing those or cleaning them up in time...

So I work in film and on set this week was a black Rolls Royce Phantom...my god what a beautiful car. I got to look inside up close; the detail and options are insane...

My favourite feature has to be the hideaway hood ornament; when you lock the car it swivels around and hides away...awesome.

Anyways, my President has Rolls Royce inspirations, so I snuck a few pics; too bad the car was tucked in the corner, I could have got some better pics.

Here they are:

Also, I mounted my 18x10 Work XD9's from my GTR :D

Many will not agree with the direction I've taken the car, but to them I say, suck it. I'll say it one more time, I'm not trying to go full VIP, I'm just doing my own thing. I think it looks aggressive and unique, and slightly Batmobile-ish. Thanks to Braden @ JNS for the Project Kics Spacers!

Anyways, enjoy.

Nice car, I like! The Canadian flags were a nice touch.

How's the turning radius, though...?

SpartanAir

Haha thanks guys :) Shoulda seen their faces...

Turning radius is ok, Skyline was a bit better obviously...better than other V8 boats though. I once owned an 81 Olds Delta 88 Royale, thing was a piece...couldn't turn worth a shitty damn.

Nice dish but.... well I'm not hating at all but IMO those rims don't really suite the car. Need to be BIGGER or.... better color match perhaps Gloss black instead of the matte color? That car screams for Chrome though....

Berz out.

Still a sexy ass car nonetheless.

dude, i like your ride.

those last pics made me think the wheels suit the car, where the 1st set of pics didnt.

Ya, I really needed some beauty shots to sell them I think. The pic dripping with soap and the driving shot I like best.

i bet it was an ex-yakuza car. no doubt about it.

I agree with stockcivic :D He really knows what he's talking about.

shenme, come to think of it, judging on the amount of wear in the interior, especially the back seats, this car was truly used to chauffeur someone around at some point quite alot. Other Q owners have never seen worn out back seats, probably because Q45's aren't private limos over here :)

Latest pics of my ride. Sitting on Tokico Blues and California Customs lowering springs, with Z32 adjustable FUCAs. Front is about 3 inches off the ground. Eventually I'll look at an airbag setup, but I've had to spend money on other things this year so my project is going slower than anticipated. I'm still really enjoying the car, I'll store it over the winter and buy a beater, and install my stereo setup over the winter.
I can't drive anywhere without people stopping me and asking about the car; it's quite the attention getter, more than I anticipated.
Enjoy the pics :)

Damn that exhaust loud? that seems counter productive for a VIP car
Although i guess with those wheels, steering wheel and suspension, you didn't want to do the cliche VIP car

SpartanAir
08-21-2009, 02:52 AM
Exhaust is throaty, not loud. Still has stock resonators. You're correct, loud exhaust is counter-vip, that exhaust came with the car from japan. You are also correct though, I'm not doing a true vip car, it's my own version.

nice ride man, is it pretty hard trying to parallel park that thing or even find parking on side streets?

Parallel parking a RHD car is actually much easier than a LHD car...it is of course longer than a normal car so I need a bigger space, but I've got the hang of it by now.

It doesn't like alleys and speed bumps though, and more recently, construction zones WITH RAISED MANHOLES....argh...
