Looks good. I like that color combo.

Post by **Q451990** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Very nice! I didn't think I'd like the 02+ rims on the older Q, but those look really good!

WOW! She's purdy!

We have the same interior...I agree with Heath - Those rims DO look good. Are they 17's or 18's?

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Wow, thanks for the compliments guys. Those are the '02 Q45 18" (Premium package) rims. They have 245/45/18 Michelin rubber on em.

Post by **Q45Viper** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

That is sooo nice! I have the same colors in a 92 with all the gray trim painted to match the car. I just passed on a set of those wheels because I did not think they would look good. Boy, am I sick now! They look incredible! I just looked around at the usual suspects..ebay etc. None available, anybody know a good source for these takeoffs, I will of course ask my local dealers.

SWEEEEET RIDE!!!!!

Yes, I love the 18" wheels. I tried for weeks to get some, and settled on som aftermarket 17" wheels. I have my eyes pealed for some 18" chrome Q45 or M45 wheels for my ride. I have the 17" chrome versions on my I30, and they look great.

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

awww bummer you passed on those Q45Viper! Supposedly the guy I bought the car from got these rims/tires for $1000 almost brand new, but then again he does work at Infiniti! hehehehe Honestly though, I wouldn't know where to get them besides the dealer.

Post by **GEOFF** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

NOTICED SUSPENSION SWITCH ON CENTER CONSOLE BGILLY! IS THAT A Q45A W/OUT THE "A" ON BACK OF CAR...LIKE STEALTH MODE!? I THOUGHT MY Q LQQKED GOOD....BUT DAMN THAT IS NICE!

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

YOU DONT HAVE TO YELL SO MUCH!!!

Just thought I'd give ya a hard time...

Yes, it does have active suspension (although the ride height switch doesn't do anything as far as I can tell), but it doesn't indicate so on the rear badging. I am honestly confused on that part, I don't know if its supposed to say Q45"a" or not.Thanks for the compliment!

Post by **Q45Viper** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Bgilly, I passed at $450 for wheels only! I just could not visualize it. Good news is that thanks to your pictures I now know EXACTLY what I want. Imatation is the sincerest form of flattery you know! And the fun is in the hunt.

Post by **DAEDALUS** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Bgilly's got a stinkin' nice ride guys! He was nice enough to let me check it out a couple weeks back. Infiniti tech-owned and cared for, and the actsus is Texasoil's proving ground! Also has the TCS. I flipped out when I saw it, especially when I found out how much he paid for it!

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Glad to be of service Q45Viper! hahaha I know exactly what you mean though, I used to do the same thing with my cars in the past. Kinda 'steal' my modification ideas based on others' trials and tribulations.And yep, this car was the prototype car (according to the guy I bought it from) for Texasoil's active suspension "refill" kit. Lucky for me it was all done and refilled at 70,000, and now its only got 79,000, so I've got lots of time left before I'll have to do it again.

That is the whole purpose behind the Forum, if I might be so bold....

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

I believe you may!

(hahaha get it, bold!!! hahahaha)OK, that was my dose of lame comedy for the day. :pface

But yeah, I agree, these boards let us all see what works best and then use it ourselves. I love message boards! They have assisted me SOOO much in the past with all my cars, and even other products like home theater, electronics, computers, etc.

Post by **Jeff Williams** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

I noticed you didn't have a strut tower brace. There is a thread from Azhitman, where he put a brace on his Q, called 'Low-budget FSTB project a success!', and another one called 'Front Strut Bar for "00" I30', and another called 'CHEAP STB's for the 90 to 96 Q45!!!!!!!!!'

These have some pics of mine, and some info on where to get one under $20.00 (eBay)

Check it out!

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Thanks for the tip, I just might do that.

Post by **sijoko** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Very Nice! and done in Good Taste.

Does the ride height change after you start the car? From the pictures, it looks almost lowered.

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Wow!!

Looks great!The wheels are an especially nice touch.

Fred..

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

sijoko: Actually, I usually feel the rear of the car go up after shutting the car off. But I don't feel anything when starting the car as far as ride height goes.Thanks again for the compliments guys!

Post by **Woodmister** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Those wheels do put the finishing touches on that car. I just started working (1st job) whoop whoop, when I get the money, wheels are the 1st exterior change I’m going to make…

By the way nice are Q

Post by **elwesso** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Very nice.... I am thinking about sometime getting a set of rims like that, and now I know how they look. How much different do you think the Q45a is from the standard one?

SWEET RIDE, i hope to be able to outfit mine to that someday, if i ever get some money.

Post by **Eswift** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

very clean, very sweet

nothing quite like a shiny black Q to make anything nearby on the road to look like a mickey-mouse snap fit skill level 1 plastic model.

roll on. those wheels go very nicely, although if they were chromed...ooh la la

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

emerald green, emerald green man! not black. hahahahathanks anyways though.

Post by **Eswift** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

sorry, my mistake, even better!

Post by **Rex** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Nice car. I must say under the lighting (or maybe it's the laptop screen) it does look black. Color combo and those wheels are sweet. Mine's the same year, no A, but TCS.

You should do a write up and get it posted in the members ride section, if you haven't already.

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Yep, I still need to do that.

Post by **maxnix** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Noticed a 1994 Q45t in Washington, D.C., badged as such, without the rear spoiler. It was in traffic, so I couldn't verify if it was mis-badged or never had the spoiler.

Post by **bgilly** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

Maybe the guy was like me and liked it better without the rear spoiler. hehehehe There's a guy here at work with a '94 Q45t with a spoiler, and if I had one I think I'd take it off.

Post by **baco99** » Thu May 01, 2003 7:59 pm

wow! sweet car.

is it me? or does the older Q intake look funky??? i mean, if the V8 is longitudinally mounted, how the heck do those intake tracks work???
