OFFICIAL G50 (90-96 Q45) OWNERS CHECK IN!

[elwesso]

Holy crap, welcome to NICO that thing is clean. I cant tell from the pictures, is the interior black or dark burgundy???

[statichead2k]

Black, Black, Black!!! I will see how my legs fair in the hot AZ sun next summer. I don't think I would ever want another color.

Here's some indoor pics of the leather.

[qsiguy]

Welcome to NICO, beautiful Q indeed. Nice to have another AZ member!

[Haitian_King]

Wow. You guys have awesome Q's!!!

I'm the proud owner of a 1992 Black Q45 with a light gray interior. It has 83,000 original miles. The paint and interior are immaculate. It has the BBS rims with Kumho tires.

I've been in love with this car since I was 5 years old. I'm 19 now, 20 in May. I'm soooo happy to have this car.

It's fast as hell and rides so smoothly. My only dislikes about the car are the lack of automatic head lights and the two separate keys for the door and the ignition. I plan on getting a keyless remote and remote starter for it. By the end of summer, hopefully i will get a full body kit + spoiler. I plan on tinting the windows this spring as well as getting new rims. In a couple of weeks, i want to get a woodkit. What color would be best? Maybe if I could find a nice ash-wood or something.

I need to get a new head unit to replace the Blaupunkt that it came with. For some reason, my FM transmitter won't stay in the cigarette lighter (keeps popping out) so now I can't listen to my iPod.

I bought the car on Thursday and am I absolute love.

I'm very happy to have found a forum dedicated to such a beautiful machine and I hope to have fun here.

I'll post pics later. Every thing's pretty stock though. Nothing added, except for a scented oil air freshener on the air vent.

Your car looks like mine! Ask your question about the ECU in a separate thread and you will get a response. Most people won't see your question here. Send me an email [email protected] I got a couple questions for you.

[92Q45guy]

I have a 92 Q45 with 90,000 miles on it. Bone stock except for a poineer cd changer. Dont have any pics yet but will get them up soon. I love this car!

[kdkrone]

I have a 92, as well. It had a Sony trunk-mounted CD changer; the control unit died and I have been unable to find another controller.

Can you tell me a bit about the Pioneer changer, such as how it mounts, whether you needed to change the radio, etc.?

ThanksKen K

I just got a 1990 Q45. My neighbor bought it new from Joe MacPherson Infiniti in Tustin, Ca. It is a light gold or bronze color. 60,800 miles, very clean. I am new to this cars. Have read much on this site over the last few days. Getting it smogged tomorrow then it will be parked to do the timing guides and change all fluids. It runs and rides nice except a bit of a rough idle. It appears that most people here are polite and helpful when they post. I appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Andy

Will post pics this weekend.

[snowman447]

hey all, as i live in Australia my Q45 is right hand drive and the jap import. its a 1990, 85,000 kms, pearl blue, looks beaut.

it was stock when i got it, but i put on 18 inch AMG wheels with the best maxxis tyres, jvc dvd head unit, and rockford fosgate 6 inch splits in the front. i was bout 2 upgrade the exhaust to 2 and a half inch from the cat back and give it dark *** tint, but i booked a trip 2 america so it will have 2 wait! also i have 2 alpine r12 subs and v12 amps to go in, and gotta buy some 6x9's for the back.

bit annoyed tho, 4 days in to owning the car, some p plater (driver who has had license for less than 2 years) crunched me on right front side of car, near the headlight. no big damage, but he sped off leaving me to have 2 pay for it myself:(

other than that, its a bloody awesome car, engine is mint as, runs smooth and i cant complain. however, last week dash lights and tail lights suddenly stopped working, and it aint a fuse, so tryting 2 figure out what the problem is.

in the future i will be doing the exhaust as i said, the tint, nico ecu the complete stereo installed, and hopefully in couple months time a supercharger and possibly kit.

ill post pics of it as soon as i can, jus bought camera off ebay so waiting 4 it 2 arrive hehe.

go the aussie q's!!

My poineer changer is a 12 disc type and it's mounted in the trunk. It's the kind the use the radio channel 89.1FM I think. The sound quality is amazing. I'm not sure how to install it. It was in the car when a bought it. I still have the stock bose tape deck. So it cant be to hard to install. It must tap into the antena wire somehow.

Guess not

1994 Infiniti Q45 photographed in Vancouver, BC on an unusually sunny spring day. In the background, you can see Vancouver International Airport - the car just seems happier to be near other vehicles capable of 150 MPH. In the distance, you can see two of Vancouver's popular skiing destinations, Grouse Mountain and Seymour Mountain, both within 30 minutes of downtown.

Let me raphsodize just a bit ... I first coveted the Q45 in a Car & Driver story circa 1990, in which the Q went head-to-head with the similarly new Lexus LS 400 and a few other comparables. The Lexus came out a few points ahead but only the Q evoked any kind of reaction. My first car was a Datsun 710 and my second a 1983 Nissan Sentra. Neither of them were good examples of Nissan's engineering prowess but they both provided years of fond memories and, of course, there's always something special about your first car.

Well, in 1990, I traded in my Sentra for a 1986 Toyota Camry which I drove for some 17 years. Reliable, durable, and economical, it had everything that I really needed - except I never really bonded with it. I always kept imagining my next car as an older Q or even a Nissan Maxima. I never dreamed of trading up for a newer Camry.

Providence finally smiled on me in February 2007, when a local car dealer of considerable repute (Cars From Mars "Serving earthlings since 1989") located the grey ghost (pictured above). A local car (Vancouver), lovingly maintained, with 167,000 original KMs (104,000 miles), and a shockingly pristine interior, it provided a most unusual test-drive experience. For the first time while driving, I experienced a level of automotive peace that had heretofore eluded me.

Rush hour is such a peaceful experience for me now. If a commute gets extended from the usual 30 minutes to 45 minutes or an hour, I find that I can take it in stride. Buzzing at high RPM just can't compete with gracefully gliding in harmony with the flow of traffic. Of course, highway driving is incredibly well-mannered and its nice to know that I have extra power for those moments when it comes in handy. Perhaps I should have made the switch years ago but I'm sure glad that I finally did. Those original Q45 ads (you know, the ones with trees, fields, and everything except cars) may have missed the mark with consumers, but I feel a sense of what they were trying to convey.

[Haitian_King]

nice pick up. My 92 has those same wheels. I just got off the PA Turnpike with mine. I was doing 90-95, no sweat, it was so sweet and smooth. I'm never parting with my Q. Even if I buy another car, I'm keeping the Q.

Aren't Q owners the coolest?

[stealthyQ]

hey guys new to the board just checkin in. i have a 94 mulberry mist metallic g50 just got it. it needs some work but thanks to the reading ive been doing on these boards its definately comin together

[Damicci]

Here is my Q. you may have seen it at Nopi this past weekend.

Z32 Meagan Racing Street Coilovers Modded to fit a G50HID 8k low beamsWeds Sport Magnificent 18x8.5 F +29 18x9.5R +29I have quite a few more things I will be doing but I'll post them later with pics.

[Haitian_King]

While I'm not too crazy about the rims. (8 spokes or more look better on Q's), the color is blowing my mind! I would love to have a white Q. Like a bright polar white. Mine is black now. If i get the money, I'd love to have a pair of Q's. One black, one White. Identical except for color. How great would that be?

[qsiguy]

Damicci,

Do you have any details of the Z32 coilover install or did you get it that way? Any info you have would be welcome. Lowering spring options are scarce for the G50.

[Haitian_King]

idk. Lowering it like that looks a little funny. Especially with no kit.

[Q_4_5]

How close can i get to the original Pearl color from the early 90's Q45's if i wanted to switch from the Forest Green?..Any recomendations?

[Haitian_King]

no clue. But the Forest Green sounds fresh. Makes it look German.

But the Pearl sounds nice too.

[92Q45guy]

Here's mine

[Damicci]

You can do a few searches. Found the info here.

http://www.vipstylecars.com/fo...=2428

But if you order the "r32" coilovers form Megan they are still Z32's and you will still need to modify them.

[txlegend210]
