1992 INFINITI M30 CONVERTIBLE 84K IMMACULATE CONDITION!!! RAREST INFINITI EVER!!

The M30 had no factory options, ut dealers offered the addition of a cell phoneand a CD player. The sole enginewas Nissan's VG30E, 3.0LSOHC V6that produced 162hp(121 kW) and 180 1b ft (244 N·m) of torque, lso used by many previous Nissan models such as the Maxima and 300ZX. Like the 300ZX, he M30 was a front engined rear wheel drive vehicle. The transmission was Nissan's RE4R01A four-speed automaticwith overdrive, s enabled or disabled by a button on the shifter. There was no option of a manual transmission. The differential was a Nissan R200-type open differential. It is generally regarded among M30 enthusiasts that the change of powertrain, eak suspension and the lack of options in these categories was a mistake on Infiniti's part, nd perhaps to blame for the lackluster sales. The M30 (coupe) weighed about 3300lbs (1498kg), nd produced 162hp (121kW). The M30 convertible weighed approximately 200lbs. more, ue to body and chassis reinforcements.

The M30 was equipped with the Nissan Sonar SuspensionIIsystem that was also installed on the Nissan Maximaat the time, hich featured a sonar module mounted under the front bumper that scanned the road surface and adjusted the suspension accordingly via actuators mounted on the strut towers. There was also a switch on the center console that allowed the driver to change between "Sport" and "Comfort" settings—essentially "firm" and "soft", espectively.

For 1991 and onwards, he M30 received only minor improvements. If the exterior driver's side door handle of the coupe was pulled while the doors were locked, he keyhole would illuminate and the interior dome light would come on. There was also an available central locking switch placed next to the Sonar Suspension II adjuster, lthough it is not known whether this was a standard feature or option for 1991-1992 models. Main gauge cluster text was changed to match the rest of the Infiniti lineup, nd engine oil temperature and fuel gauges were switched around. The speedometer was also changed to an electric-type, s opposed to the cable-type used on the 1990 model.

The M30 convertible was the sole convertible of the Infiniti line, ntil the G37 convertible's introduction in 2009. Infiniti selected about half of the models produced from 1990 to 1992 and converted them to soft-top convertibles through ASC American Sunroof Corporation. Convertible tops were fully automatic, equiring the driver only to push the up or down buttons to the left of the steering wheel (which replaced the rear defogger button found in the coupe) to raise or lower the top.

While the power tops on these did not necessarily need extensive maintenance, hey could be operated manually if necessary. All M30 coupes had power tilting/sliding sunroofs standard, ith "auto-cut" while sliding to the closed position to prevent anything from getting caught by the glass.

The M30's production run lasted for only 3 years, nding in 1992 due to lagging sales. It is not known exactly how many models were produced, ut it has been said that just over 12,000 were made, alf coupes, alf convertibles, aking the M30 the rarest Infiniti ever put into production. Previously rumored by M30 enthusiasts was that only 5,000 were made in total, alf being coupes and half convertibles. Speculation regarding the exact production numbers for the M30 are, owever, till uncertain. The M30 was replaced by the Infinit J30, mid-size4-door sedan. While the J30 is a completely different car and has a different chassis code (Y32), t was called the "Leopard J. Ferie" in Japan and was still referred to as the Nissan Leopard.

The M30 came with a driver's airbag and ABS (anti-lock brakes) as standard equipment, hough it lacked belt pretensioners, nd had no rollover protection on the convertible. All M30s came with 3-point self-locking seatbelts located at each outer seat, nd the rear-center seat had an adjustable lapbelt.

The M30 received 4 in both frontal- and side-impact crash test ratings according to the NHTSA, aking it one of the safest cars in its class. Nissanpaid special attention to the placement of the M30's side reinforcing, hich is located most notably in the doors and quarter-panels. The M30 is known to have a remarkably solid chassis in coupe form.

The M30 has a small cult following, imilar to that of the Nissan Leopard F31 built in Japan. The car shares many similarities with more successful and capable Nissan sports cars, uch as the 240SX, 00ZXand early-generation Skylines. As such, ore powerful engines, anual transmissions, uspensions and limited slip differentialsfrom these cars can be swapped into the M30 to create a much more capable car. In both the U.S. and Japan, he M30/Leopard has been used for drifting, s it can take parts from other Nissans and is rear wheel drive..
