power of the Q

[Window45]

Do you guys find the q45 to be a "fast" car? honestly?

[maxnix]

Honestly, read some of the previous posts.

On a roll on the highway, few can keep up, and a lot of the ones that are faster have their top speed capped lower.

It all depends what condition your engineand the rest of the car is in. It's all about maintenance, the right tires, and the NICO ECU.

The turbo guys have interesting modifications, but neither is a daily driver so long term affects are not known.

=-0 then why do the v6 mustang and gt owners seem to thing those fords are sooo much better lol have an answer for that one?\

Life's tough! It's tougher when you are stupid!

Don't be stupid!

im affraid i don't get that one

[Q451990]

I don't really get the point of this thread? Are you saying you don't think your Q is "fast"?

I guess the problem is that "fast" is a relative term. What do you mean by "fast" - "fast" vs. your average large 4 door sedan? "Fast" vs. your average ricer? "Fast" vs. a turbocharged sports car?

IMHO, the early Q is one of the best balances between performance and luxury... it's not a pure sports car or a pure luxury car - but it'll kick the crap out of 95% of what's on the road 0 - 80MPH when well maintained. It's clear that the Q's best traits are enjoyed on freeway onramps and other passing situations at speed - but it's no slouch off the line either.

Oh oh!

Try reading some of the previous posts.

Heath's summation is succint.

[Raxephon]

All Wheel Drive?

How did you manage to pull that one off?

[Kiven422]

My friends 2000 Honda Prelude (JDM Headers/AEM Intake) has a top speed of 151 MPH.

My Q45 cannot do over 148MPH. Although I can cruise at 120MPH comfortably at 3500RPM while most sports cars are revving mad.

Think this car is still not that fast?

My 93 Q will shiza on him with 4 PEOPLE in the car and ALL WINDOWS + SUNROOF FULLY OPEN @ 150MPH!!! It will also shiza past my friends 1993 Mazda RX-7 if I didn't have a speed limiter.

I estimate I can hit past 160MPH judging by how fast it climbs from 140-150 with all the extra weight I had in it.

But anways take some pics of your AWD Q45 i'd really like to see it

the Q chews up 5.0 mustangs (sj50 or whatever it is) with 4 ppl and approximatly 500 lbs of cargo in it, somewhere around 120 for the 3rd run, it gets really really squirly with no shocks!! (recomended not to try it)

[Window45]

carfrk666did your motor really hit 273000 miles? on the q?and no guys that was the answer i was lookin for, i feel the same.. its just ppl see the q and they think it looks to big and bulky to do anything :/ i dunno i just wanted to see what others thought

[Kiven422]

I've had so many people tell me my car is a V6. They are almost sure of it.

My car is a sleeper, no one can tell I have dual exhaust but they sure realize that its a V8 when they hear me coming.

1995 infiniti q45-All wheel drive-CAI-3.73 gears

Hmm...............me thinks me smells a troll. Show us the pics of your super duper all-wheel drive Q and also tell us where you got the 3.73 gears from. Inquiring minds want to know.

[Raxephon]

. Show us the pics of your super duper all-wheel drive Q......

At the very least an undercarriage shot of the cross member to see what you did for clearance.

Is this in a signature? (Mine are turned off.)

Illiteracy and trollism seem to travel together.

well right now she is sitting at 310,000 if i had found this site and learned that i should have replaced the stock timing guides that somehow by the grace of god lasted that long she would be at 310,000 original, and if someone thinks that ur car is bulky and slow and a pile, just think, right now mine is flat black and still holds her own pretty damn good with a college full of cocky automotive students

[Infinitiguy19]

Is it just me or....

But who would believe he has a all-wheel drive Q45?

Its hard enough to maintain it and keep it to OEM specs without adding a transfer case, Which by the way is impossible.

It is not all wheel drive.....the poster is either too dumb to know that, or just being a jackhole.

[Infinitiguy19]

Yea, Moght have mistaken for a GTR or skyline chassis.

[Q451990]

Or he meant all wheel steering... a/k/a HICAS

I would if he had pictures posted of it.

Its not that hard of a concept really, you just need to be clever, and have the time/money to do it correctly.

[Infinitiguy19]

I guess "To each his own" because whats the use of having TCS and AWD it either one or the other.

If anything it ALMOST the same.

I think its pointless.

[tmak26b]

AWD cars with a lot of power can still speed all four, and most AWD system are not true awd as they dont always have LSD in the front or rear. I remember my Volvo spun the RF and LR in the snow, I was pissed.

Fast is relative, it is the slowest car in my driveway, but I still enjoy it. This is not 1990 anymore, a lot of family sedans can outrun a 1st gen Q. Remember most cars make about 250hp and they have better gearings.

A rule of thumb is 10lbs / hp.

If you think your car is super fast, I highly recommend you drive another car. Heck a Jetta diesel is almost as quick, if not faster up to 60 due to the great gearbox and very respectable torque.

[Window45]

holly cow you ppl sure like to bash alot don't ya, i don't have all wheel drive or those gears, see the little question mark guy? so why is it people come so close to conclusions? if you would of just asked i would of said something.

[Raxephon]

Don't mind some of the members in this section too much, they can sometimes be too far akin to my german ancestors.

I didn't notice the question-mark-guy next to the line for AWD, hence why I asked.

I would still like to see a properly assembled AWD VH45DE G50 Q45.

[Window45]

i as well... i don't think it would be all that great though, no real reason if you ask me, the car is ever in need of making sharp turns, or anything really... i have some HUGE *** tires on my 16 wheels... it cam with some nice factory wheels and tires... and their is no tire spin ever... if i hit some water.. ya .. but i can jerk that wheel and floor it.. these tires are not gonna break loose

[maxnix]

I can't remember if the JHG50 was available in AWD, but the FY33, Y50 and F50 were and are.

To some of the other posters in this thread who don't know English, I have no friggin' idea of what you are trying to communicate. Looks like a tough vocational future for some of you if you ever are required to interface cogently with another human being.

[Window45]

lol.. my bad haha i kinda put a few words that made no sence in their... i don't have 16 wheels.. i mean 16inch wheels heh

i belive the point that most of us are making (cause i know its the one that i am) is that for its have a** that is has and how old she is, its a pretty dang quick car, its not fast, but shes dang quick, ive been in alot of fast cars and i deal with alot of people that build fast cars and they are all suprised when they get into mine caue they just dont expect it out of a heavy car, she can still hold her own on the street when it comes to stock to stock, heck 240sx's are so great right? well they look good in my rearview (and i can back this up, i own a 240)

[Window45]

just wish the damn thing didn't look so giggity big and grandma like
