My 5 speed 98’ A32 Caught on Fire 😢🤧🤧. Man God is good all the time I prayed for 1 and eventually my prayers came true and man mine was Forest Green !! Injen CAI injectors bigger throttlebody. 😵💫 I get sick thinking about her but she was special.. replaced her with a 2001 Q45 T
Awesome find. I have found the same 1996 i30t with far more miles but it does have the 5spd that ill be checking out today. Ive owned several 4th gen maximas only manuals and its had to believe that it only makes 190hp. Feels like more, plus the reliability is just unmatched. Its unfortunate about the rust issues that you mentioned that are very true.
Great video! I just picked up a 1998 Infiniti i30t with a 5MT and 108k miles. It has been super nice for me. My shifter was pretty sloppy so I changed it out and I had to do a fuel pump to it. I am going to replace the plugs and coils since they’re original and I did a trans fluid change. I love the car! Its a pleasure to drive. Thanks for the great review!
Always a fan of the nissan VG and VQ engines, I had a love/hate relationship with my VQ35 engine . Loved the power, hated the oil consumption. I'm currently driving a 99 i30t 5 speed and man I miss driving a manual.
Thanks for watching! The VGs had a nice growl and the VQs were smooth and torquey. As far as the VQ35s, they all consumed oil. Some worse than others, but if you took care of them they could see 400k+ easy.
I've had the opportunity to own examples of both. One 850 which was a little rough and had some electrical issues, still absolutely loved it. Several SCs 300s and 400s. If given the choice I'd go for another SC.
Do you know for what the T stands for? We only have the Nissan Maxima QX trims here in Germany which are similar. They mostly shifted because germans like to shift and with the VQ 20 and VQ30
Ahhh thanks buddy now I know. I just workwd on the 24 years old of my father in law. He wanna sell it because he baught an Infintiy now. I lowered it him 21 years ago as I saw in the papers. They just wanna give him 800€ so I decided to keep it. Got only 175tkm which is around 108kmls. Rust is my biggest enemy, because of the winter and salt, but almost done, welded an new front into the frame luckily found a used one. Now our daughter can ride it and in 6 years we get the historical plates. But it's an Automatic, before the A32 he owned a J30 that was a shifter. Man burn out in 3'rd gear no problem. Once I'm finished I'll make a video too. Greetings from Germany
Internet search is your best friend. These share the same center cap with some BMWs and other BBS wheels. I believe the # is RG032. You may need to swap out the emblem. Hope that helps, thanks for watching 👍
That is one of the cleanest I30's I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing.

Hopefully you escaped unscathed. Thanks for watching 👍
That car is awesome and so rare. You found a great one.
Thanks brother 👍

Hopefully all goes well and it checks out. They are awesome cars from an era that is long gone. Thanks for watching 👍

Thank you for watching. It sounds like you found a nice one! Stay tuned, as soon as the weather clears here in MI I plan to do a part 2.
Getting a 96' with only 82k miles edit* got and put an intake on and I love it. No measurable rust.
Great video! I love the footage and the editing!
Thank you, stay tuned for more....
Moe next time record your trip to get it... awesome video
Will do, thank you. I'm going this weekend to pick up a ride for my pop's.

She's a beauty ☺️👌
Thank you!
I like the J30 way more
I've had a few of them and love them as well. Just wish the came in a manual.
@@autoavids that's cool man, you ever drive a Lexus SC400 and/or BMW 850i? those are two of my dream cars
I've had the opportunity to own examples of both. One 850 which was a little rough and had some electrical issues, still absolutely loved it. Several SCs 300s and 400s. If given the choice I'd go for another SC.
Yes manual is king.
Just got a 98’ i30 with 102k miles for my first car, had one owner and super clean, I’m jealous of this car though lol
They are sweet rides, especially in a manual. Thank you for watching and stay tuned for an update....
Yo same!!! Automatic, great car!! I had that car for 5 years. Great first car!!
Ah yes
You can shift them with ease from the first to third and from third to the fifth.
Plenty of torque from that VQ.
Do you know for what the T stands for? We only have the Nissan Maxima QX trims here in Germany which are similar. They mostly shifted because germans like to shift and with the VQ 20 and VQ30
Yes, the T is for Touring. It is the sport trim for the I30, similar to the Maxima SE.

I had a 1998 Infiniti i30. Had 163000 miles on it when I sold it.
Great cars, I've seen them with 300k+
I have a 2001 i30t thinking about putting some money into little rust repair an a oem paint job love the car
As long as the repair is done correctly go for it. Great cars they last a long time.
Nice vid 👍
Thank you
Where do you think I get a pair of rim caps for the exact rims
Internet search is your best friend. These share the same center cap with some BMWs and other BBS wheels. I believe the # is RG032. You may need to swap out the emblem. Hope that helps, thanks for watching 👍
I wanna get some bigger rims what size would u recommend
I wouldn't go bigger than 18's 19's at the most. Bigger than that will ride like crap and the suspension would have a hard time coping.
@@autoavids thx (:
