I bought the car bone stock with 199,000 miles, 1993 black-on-black. In the past month, this is the work I have done to it. -Nico ecu-jeff williams strut bar-eibach springs (thanks superuber!!)-tokico blues-jwt pop-charger-b&m transmission cooler-custom 2-1/4 stainless cat back with pre cats and resonators removed, I decided to keep the stock muffler on though.-18x8 infiniti fx35 wheels with 245-45-18 goodyear rs-a tires (no rubbing)-adjustable upper links.-9006 sylvania silverstar bulbs

Thats about it for now, I running out of money! My future plans include a remote start, window tint, z32 front brakes, repaint mudflaps and rocker panels, and possibly a jdm motor. The car handles unbelievable now, very firm and hardly any body roll, this son of a ***** is a screamer , my friends are pretty impressed with the q's performance. I had it at 155 the other night(I have a video I will upload)Not bad for a car with 215,000 miles on it. I had no idea about this car's potential when I first bought it, now I'm all about enhancing the Q. I also own a 91 honda crx fully built b16 turbo 475 whp, and I love my Q just as much or more than the crx. I love my crx but I hate the stereo type and the "rice" that comes along with it. When I drive the Q I feel people respect me a bit more on the road. I'm a proud owner of my q45 and I display my nico badges on my back windows. I couldn't have done alot of this with out the help of some people on this website, so a big thanks to all of you guys!! Here are some pictures:

Oh yeah, I'll be hitting the track in the next week or 2. I'll keep you guys posted with some 1/4 mile times!

SWEEEEET!

That Que is beautiful!

I really like the aggressiveness that the FX wheels added to it. It really doesn't look any lower, because the tires/wheels look much bigger.

I would say that fender gap is as close to perfect as you can get.

Now I am thinking of installing those Cali Customs again...

Thanks. You'll want to ditch the popcharger ASAP. Don't throw away OEM CAI!

RSA will be gone soon enough.

FX wheels not bad!

Are those 240SX 16 inch wheels in the top pic?

I would love to hear how your Q sounds with the exhaust mods.

It's simply beautiful with the FX35 wheels.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, keep em comin. Wes, the exhaust sounds great, not too loud but gave it that growl that it was missing. When vtc kicks in it gets pretty loud!! I paid a local muffler shop $130 to do the work. All mandrel bent stainless pipe, he tied it in to my stock rear muffler and welded to 2' crome tips on it. I'll upload a few pics later tonight.

1. True

2. This place and the community has provided me with the ability to own/maintain my first import. Cant even put a price on that.
