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

[kdkrone]

Nice wheels. I have a '92 and have thought about popping for some wheels, but, as I have not been sure about how long I would keep the car (especially now that Jerry Tucker has sold his repair shop in San Diego) and uncertain about what would look good on the car and what would not, I hesitated. However, after seeing your wheels, I am re-thinking things!

Who makes the wheels and what size are they? Where did you purchase them?

ThanksKen K

The tires rub occasionally in the front and in the back with passengers in the back seat.I purchased the wheels off of Craig's list for $200 and the tires from TireRack

Here is my newly purchased Black on black Q, I'm already madly in love with it and always trying to find a reason to go for a spin. Here are a bunch of pics I took.

Not to alarm you, but my jealousy over your black on black Q is tempting me to murder your and take your Q. Or at least the interior.

Damn my coveting nature!

Very F-ing nice! I wish I had a 90-93 beltbuckle with a black interior. I just don't like the 94-96 grille as much.

But still. My jealousy knows no bounds.

[Kiven422]

Very nice! espiecially the z32 parts on it cool!

black interior is awesome,even nicer with a dash kit. I have been waiting for so long to find a wrecked/beater black interior Q so I can swap the interiors.

[TheJerseydude]

my 94' Q that i've had since august of 06... all stock except for the system, i30 rims,tints, and new pinstripes... tell me wut u think? and what would u do if it was yours? lol

[qship96]

Need to replace the missing pieces of bodyside molding on both front fenders and replace broken antenna mast,otherwise looks fantastic-I like the aftermarket front bumper rub strips on it

[maxnix]

Did someone one install the Blues with old rubber?

[TheJerseydude]

Wow ur no joke for catchin that antenna issue .. I even 4got it was messed up... thanx 4 remindin me tho. I have no idea where to find the new antenna and i been looking everywhere for those 2 molds. if u have any suggestions for me getting those 2 parts and a few others like the rear door cigerette lighter, and a new mudguard, leave 1 here and i will appreciate it.

What molding are you missing?

*Before the usual silly comments from the Peanut Gallery concerning my lack of observational skill, I'd like to present the fact that I am inebriated. So hah!*

*Edit*

Never mind. I see it. Vodka sometimes brings moments of clarity. This is now one of them.

The molding you can get from a donor car. Find one in a junkyard or stalk a Non-NICO Q driver (You know, the one's that have no clue about the awesome vehicle that they're abusing) and under the cover of night (or day if you're brave. Or a ninja.) and take it. IIRC from the FSM, those small pieces are fastened with double sided tape. My passenger side one wasn't level and had a slant to it. Some kind soul straightened it for me while it was parked. It now looks great. I hope to find this mysterious Samaritan and thank them for their benevolence. Or at least pay the kindness forward by doing the same for another Q.

Young, Dumb, And full of Rum wont get you far in life son.......

The fender moldings are best purchased brand new at Infiniti dealer, as they are held on with a one time use adhesive and color coded to your paint.They are rather inexpensive to purchase, along with the antenna mast. Call our friend Joe at http://www.everythinginfiniti.com for the best prices and service.

[TheJerseydude]

you guys neva fail to suprise me! I'd rather not take advantage of the unknowing idiots...

but i searched junkyards and cant seem to find a black one in good enough condition for me to get parts from it.

Also, last time i called the infiniti dealership they told me those 2 molding would cost $53. The Rep. on the phone even told me dont buy them.

1 last thing is the rubber around my passenger side window like kinda fell off. It doesnt look THAT bad but it bothers me.

[AlabamaDan]

Looks nice.

You'd be surprised at how far it's gotten me already.

[QUOTE=dfowler 215/65/15 Vogue Tyres[/QUOTE]Do they strike a pose?

[qship96]

Do they strike a pose?

Vogue tyres with the white and gold stripes? I remember when all the Cadillac dealers would put those on the new cars in the late 60`s and 70`s and charge a boatload extra for them- I destroyed a few sets on my dads 1970 Eldorado-front wheel drive with an 8.2 liter engine equaled tons of tire smoke and little treadlife back in the day!

Nice. I thought it was black. I like the green but I think the wheels would be better in a brighter color.

If it was black with black wheels, the way you have it set up would look FANTASTIC.

But the car looks great. How's the ride on the Teins? Is it harsh? Less comfortable than stock? Any rubbing? I like the no fender gap, and you don't have to tuck your tires in. Nice look.

[maxnix]

offset i belive is from 35 to 40 not that sure...

And their weight is a mystery also, I bet.

Presume your car does not have TCS?

[qsiguy]

Oh Brian, forever the pessimist.

The car looks very nice. I'd have never guessed 20's. Glad they have the polished lip. Like the drop as well. Welcome to NICO!

[Haitian_King]

It is a very nice car. I'd like to hear his experiences on the ride with lowered springs and 20's. Maybe it'll help me come closer to a decision about wheels for the summer.

[lino]

Beautiful! Love the super clean look. Welcome to Nico. You might want to get a hold of Nico member: kimrober who lives in Honolulu.

Here is a thread with pics of his car:

That's one sharp looking Q!Great stance with drop and 20" rims(!). Millilani is very nice place too!I just happened to acquire 2002 Q45 for my mother, added JDM Cima grille and hood ornament to match.

[VIP_Q45T]

The rides not bad at all, i mean its not like factory but u still have the comfort, i did have to role the fenders and it still scrapes a bit the plastic.

I think 19 inch rims would be perfect, I may keep these for my RX8 and bvuy some 19s later.
