FGY33 in japan = the Y33 in USA ?

[TransformCelsior]

hey guys, is the FGY33 the same equivalent to the 1997 - 2001 y33 q45 here in the states ?


can someone clarify ? they have the fgy33 and the fhy33, what are the differences? are the suspension parts inter-changable ?

thanks

I would imagine the difference would be in the engine. Some Y33s in Japan came with a turbocharged V6. But overall it's still the same car.

FHY33's are nissan cedric/glorias, while the FGY33 is the nissan cima

FGY33= Cima Engine= VH41DE also= US Q45
FHY33= Cima Turbo Engine= VQ30DET

And for reference:

Y33 UY33 Cedric/Gloria RD28

Y33 PY33 Cedric/Gloria VG30E
Y33 MY33 Cedric/Gloria VQ25DE
Y33 HY33 Cedric/Gloria VQ30DE, VQ30DET

thanks guys.

I have the Trust 55-60 mm low down springs and KYB SR struts on the way.

I was gonna go with JIC VIP coilovers but the spindle fiasco was a real turn off, saving a good thousand bucks also made my decision easier.

FGY 33 is CIMA line

FHY 33 is Cedri/Gloria line

They are actually different model car but it happen to shared the same chasie dur this model year and later the current gen CIMA went on to be F50 which is same as 2002-present Q45 in USA. The cedric/Gloria went on to be Y34 which is the first generation M45 sold in the US
