I recently bought a 1994 Q45?. I have no manuals of it. There is nothing on the body to say whether it is a Q45 base model, Q45t or Q45a. How do I go about determining the model of this vehicle? I know that letter (a) stands for active suspension and letter (t) stands for touring. It has a spoiler though and it is different from a Q45 1996 that I see around pretty often. I am really desperate to know what type of Q45 this is. Thanks to you all who will assist in this solution.Dr. T

^ Correct.

The active will have a switch in the center console to adjust the suspension.

The Touring models had a rear spoiler (on the trunk), so they don't have a stop light in the rear package shelf.

If you have a stop-lamp in the package shelf (that shines through the rear window), then you bought a standard Q.

Then get them at http://www.nissan-techinfocom/infiniti/

The owners manual download is free.

The FSM and TSB will cost you a one day subscription and some time.
