hello all, new member, 94 infinity Q45

Better study the lettering on the back of your Q45 real carefully before partying with this group!

Disaster! Some f*cker backed in to my car in my apartment parking lot. On top of that the jerkass didn't leave a note or anything, . So now I have a giant *** dent in the rear quarter panel and no collision insurance to fix it, and no money, and I didn't even deserve this, why?! Why God have you done this to me?! So now I have to live with an ugly smashed quarter panel that I had no part of and was not even around to smash the guys face in. Maybe I should go lock up my guns and give my brother the key. Dammit so now I have a mint condition S13, clean title, and now its all ruined because of some piece of trash f*cker in Orlando. I wasn't thinking of coming because I was so upset but maybe after you guys look at it you could give me some tips on what to do.

No uninsured motorist coverage? Shouldn't that take car of it?

Also, hope everything went good. Pictures when possible

I think its going to cost more for my insurance rates to go up than to just have it fixed, which now it looks like it is more serious than I thought. Have a look here zerothread?id=128443.

The meet was great to get out and talk to some fellow NICO members although I think Meantime and I were the only ones to bring 240's . I'd like to thank Greg, Rex, and their families for putting on a meet for the Orlando people, it's awesome that there are people like this out in the world, we need more! Also, I think Rex's son is possibly the most knowledgeable person on Nissans and Infiniti's without a license .

Well here are some pics of Meantime’s car from the meet, and with never riding in an SR equipped S13 before, I've got to say that is one fast 240. You can also check my gallery for larger pics.

97 Blacktop installed by XATAs you can see he still has ABSBRM Exhaust, quite possibly the best sounding exhaust system ever.More if the TipsThis pic looks way to dark on CRTSide shotThe Exhaust sits REALLY low, which is like no more than 4 inches or so off the ground

[PoorManQ45]

Nice pictures.

Question: What's the difference between the different colored engines? Is there a physical difference or is it just for looks?

[drftsil8ty]

balck tops came in 180sx. (pretty sure)

[Clatch]

Redtops came in the early S13s and then they updated to the blacktop in the later S13's and continued using various forms of the blacktop in the S14 and S15s. Blacktops are also equipped with VVT since they are a newer engine.

[PoorManQ45]

So then the blacktop would have a little bit better power potential?

[Clatch]

Yes it has more horsepower, but you can search and there are a thousand posts about this already.
