Thanks! I love my car all over again. I even contemplated getting rid of her...tisk tisk. With new wheels it sure as heck wakes up the looks and makes me feel much prouder to drive her.

[sheadee240]

Bought it at the auction for $4000 and love it. It's actually my fiances daily driver. I just went to by something decent for $4K when I saw this baby rolling in...a little better than decent! All stock, but it runs mint and is nice and clean. It actually turns some heads with a nice low offset wide wheel tire package that I put together

Welcome to the forum... Check out the Q45.org performance section.....

[tkd_q45]

94a w/18" F50 rims. Otherwise stock for now.

[elwesso]

I like it without the pinstripe!

[tkd_q45]

Huh?

[elwesso]

It looks like the pinstripe has been removed..... is it not?

There's stripe of some kind on there. I can help you get some glasses if you need .

[tkd_q45]

Though it looks as if there is, there is NO pinstripe on my car.

Thats what I thought, its just the natural belt line...

[Fujiwara Tofu]

I have a White 1990 Q with 314K. By far the best car I've ever owned. It's completely stock but seriously considering getting that NICO ECU.

Welcome to the forum!!!!!

Whats up with the centercaps? are they chrome, or did you paint them black, or what?

[maxnix]

Though it looks as if there is, there is NO pinstripe on my car.

But that is exactly where it goes.

One striped, one not.

You newbies with pre 1994 need to get over to the timing chain guide article in Infiniti Articles now before even starting your car again. Really.

[Fujiwara Tofu]

Yeah, I thought they would look cool black. They definitely look better than the partially bare plastic as seen below. They were just painted silver, did those wheels come in chrome originally? Concerning the timing chain issue, is there any way to tell if it was done by a visual inspection? Can it be assumed that the car would never have made it to 314k without being done?

Thanks,Grant

[elwesso]

certainly with 314k on the original motor i wouldnt put new guides in.....

[sixtysq45]

I have a pretty wild Q45. My dad gave me this car for free because he could not sell it for any low price even though it is immaculate. I hope you guys aren't ALL purists like another site who gave me a hard time. It looks like you have a lot of very nice modified cars here. Maybe I can fit in a little better. I did all my own work and spent $1300 on it. It actually is stock mostly but now a little different visually. I call it my 1969 Q45. I was finally able to post pictures at: http://q45.spliky.com/gallery/v/?g2_page=37

You can click on each picture to make it bigger. I am 18 and did the work myself and learned how to prep and paint. Please go easy, as I worked very hard on it. I also posted a picture of my Dad's old Z car from years ago. Many thanks, John

[elwesso]

It certainly looks like you know what your doing..... Not my cup of tea.....

Wanna paint my Q?

[CrimsonQ]

Pretty cool lookin. Reminds me of the early 90's paint jobs I saw on alot of trucks around here.

[redmanfx]

Variety is the spice of life and two tone adds to our variety! It's great to have people post their "out of the norm" ideas here. I say welcome and give me more....

[sdkhalsa]

Thank you 60sq45:Please post some more pictures. I have been curious as to what could be done in multi-color -- have not seen many examples.

[sixtysq45]

I still don't know how to post pictures here but someone did it for me on another thread of mine.

GO to: page two of these q45 forums

Select thread: I am new, how do I post pictures?

Scroll down the entire page and someone has posted them for me there

Poppop is sending me a set of mudflaps so I can customize them and reinstall them. I don't care for the way they look stock.

The hood scoop is the smallest and shortest I could find that had the same slopping angle as the hood itself; but it looks larger in the pictures because of the reflection on the hood.

Can you tell me about your Flowmaster exhaust?

[CrimsonQ]

Can you tell me about your Flowmaster exhaust?

was that question for me?

[sixtysq45]

Sorry, yes CrimsonQ

I wanted to know what setup you used for the flowmaster appllication

[CrimsonQ]

It was done by a small shop. They measured the rear stock muffler. Then we looked thru the Flowmaster catalog (Any brand you want will work or can be made to work) and picked 1 out. I chos the 50 series because all the 4.6 fords Ive heard with 40 series were too loud for my taste.

Mine is a dual in, single out with split tip. 2 3/4 pipes IIRC. they basically followed the same lines as the stock exhaust, with hangers being the only fabbed part. Total cost of muffler/tip/material/labor was $263.

I would like to have an x-pipe sometime in the future and the cats removed. They took out the 2 resonators as well. Basically a catback system for now.

hope that helps. I have a sound clip on here somewhere.............http://www.sdproducktions.biz/m...p.MOV

[sixtysq45]

Many thanks, I guess I am going to go with the 50 also

by the way, you have a very hot car.

[CrimsonQ]

Remember there are alot of other good/better mufflers out there, dynomax,gibson,walker,basani, borla

I went for the cheaper flowmasters because its my daily beater and I didnt want to drop fat cash just for sound.

Also thx for the compliment:)
