I see q45's all the time, but they aren't on the sevs register as far as i can see.

Is there any way i can bring one in or did this die when they introduced sevs?

Sold as F50 Cima's in Japan which is the model we import here, I have one and a mate does over here in Perth.

SEVS Approval

I think he may be referring to the G50 which was sold in Japan as a Q45 as well as in North America... they ran from 1989 or so up until about 2003 (as the President), I believe they are the longest running car Nissan ever made, fact fans!

A couple of G50 Q45's came in under the 15 year old rule (I used to own one) but that has now ended, although they are probably eligible under SEVS I can't see any compliance workshop ever getting the evidence for them, so you're going to have to find one that's here already if you want one. Nissan Australia actually sold them here in 1993 or 1994 and brought 100 over, they cost well into the six figure price mark and were an abysmal failure, most of them were given to Nissan execs as company cars as Nissan just couldn't sell the damn things. If you're ok with the styling I think they are very nice cars, the VH45 V8 is a SWEET engine, even hauling nearly 2 tons of metal at 100kph mine pulled REALLY hard.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
