TAKE A LOOK AT MY G50 Q45!!! :)

[thejapino]

I didn't know there were so many G50 owners in Norcal/SAc. Keep me posted on a meet too!

[Kiven422]

there was a Q45a at Pick-N-Pull in Rancho Cordova, im guessing you were the one that took the rear sway bar right? If you did you must have been there a day earlier than us since we were gona buy it haha.

Good mystery work hah, actually got it back in January. I used to have a lockdown on every junkyard Q45 in sacramento.. unfortunately no 94s. I need 94-96 parts. There is a 94 in Antelope at James Auto yard but its not the self service one.

Those JDM lights look great... thought you had Yellow fog lights too.

Personally, I lilke the balck G50 in the background with the 20 holers.

Can't understand the broken suspension look nor its comprmised performance.

Of course, it would be nice if these guys could read their trunks.

I'm very much a "performance over looks" guy. If it doesn't somehow make the car accelerate/decelerate faster, or handle better or get better gas mileage, than it's not for me.

BUT...for some reason, I overlook that on the Q45. Maybe it's because the Q isn't an all out performance vehicle. So you drop the car so it's scraping the ground and add on some really heavy rims. The car looks subjectively cooler but you've definitively decreased it's performance...and maybe that doesn't matter so much in your daily driven street vehicle.

Extracting every last ounce of handling or power isn't really a priority for me, and I think a lot of people are that way. As long as driving my car is fun and enjoyable, I'm happy with it. If making your car look a certain way makes happy, go for it.

It's not like these guys are taking an Elise and slamming it on 19's with stretched rubber band tires. That would be a travesty.

I agree with DoinkMobb car appeal,performance,and some fuel economy daily driver is something to look for when even trying to think about modifying a car. Thats why i have my 1994 Infiniti Q45 for car appeal, my 1987 Buick Grand National for performance and my turbo charged 1991 Honda Civic for a daily driver (34 mpg). And by the way my Q45 is no sloth, performance wise i have a Jim Wolf ECU,Jim Wolf TCU, Stillen POP charger, Electric fans,Sun Auto Ground wire kit, JIC exhaust and under construction are custom headers. The Skyline GT-R 4.11 gear clutch type LSD rear end puts it down to the ground. Not to mention the upgraded suspension ,Its faster than my boosted civic which runs an average of 14.1-14.3 second 1/4 mile time slips. I will tune my car with S15 SR20DET 440cc injectors and APEXI NEO piggy back fuel controller, maybe break the 13 second mark.

"will tune my car with S15 SR20DET 440cc injectors "

Unfortunately the oem 370cc injectors never exceed 55% duty cycle under even the most demanding conditions [4,000 rpm torque peak] so larger injector are a pure waste NA.

Only if you exceed 420 crank HP do you need larger injectors.

... performance wise i have a... Stillen POP charger,

Known performance decreaser over stock OEM CAI with OEM filter.

[NOR*CAL 916]

In earlier posts i read that they were alredy at 87% duty cycle and may be one of the reasons the injectors fail so frequently. It makes more sense to me that they are 55% duty cycle, Thanks for the info!

[NOR*CAL 916]

Not if you have relocated the filter outside the engine bay, mine is sitting behind the left fog light.

[erik513]

those are 2 nice cars

I bet it sounds better though (to the owner at least).

The 18" G35 rims I put on my Q are straight line performance decreasers, but I enjoy them all the same. Shod with performance tires, at least they've increased handling vastly - and they look cool.

Maxnix, are you German by the way? You seem very Teutonic in your approach to the Q45. All business, all performance, no deviating outside the most logical and efficient means of improvement...that's not a bad thing per se, just wondering.

[Flicktitty]

loooks damn good, any pics of that S13 on green wheels?

[VIP_Q45T]

both are looking very clean, very nice from another fellow VIP G50 member.

[gniknave]

I just wanna know where all the Q guys were when I was living in NorCal (Pittsburg). It seems like there was only 2 of us back then

[TBrack]

how many clicks are you running on your coils? just got mine on the other day and im still tuning em to that perfect feel.

[BLACKonBLACK98]

wheres the new pics?

great bump btw. always hilarious to see an oem nazi try and school someone with a lot more work just because it looks different.

1) through on stockers2) adjust camber3) smash on a know it all
