Post

I found a wrecked 1995Q45 with 87,00 miles and it is very clean! I am wondering what parts, if any, will fit my 1993Q45. i am particuarly interested in the interior, seats, stereo head, etc. but the motor is very clean as well. Any input will be helpful!

Keep in mind that U currently have OBD1 and the 95 is OBD2 will have to swap computers/ TCU and ECU as well.

No, 1995 is OBD I, but 1996 is OBD II.

For the most part no.

The seats are different, though the mounting points/or rails may be the same.

The 90-93's were the same and 94-96 (save the OBDII parts of 96) were the same.

What was the production date when OBD11 started then Brian? Alot of people say this started in 96 but, production date is what is important 08/95=OBD11 or 01/96 OBD11.

I am sure production date for My 1996 started in 1995, but he was asking about MY 1995.

There was no 95 Q that was OBDII, some 96s were made in 95, but they werent 95 MY's

Actually most of the parts will swap over... The interior is different but it bolts up, but may take some custom wiring to get everything to work perfect...

All cars declared to be 1996 models had to have OBDII per Federal requirements.

But, some mftrs introduced it in their 1995 models. This OBD web site http://www.obdii.com has details. From the website:
www.obdii.com wrote:Does My Car Have OBD-II?

All cars and light trucks built and sold in the United States after January 1, 1996 were required to be OBD II equipped. In general, this means all 1996 model year cars and light trucks are compliant, even if built in late 1995.

Two factors will show if your vehicle is definitely OBD II equipped:1) There will be an OBD II connector as shown below, and2) There will be a note on a sticker or nameplate under the hood: "OBD II compliant".

Exactly my point that is why a lot OBD11 Scanners will say for 95 and later models!

Anyone know if the mudflap/side moldings from a 94-96 will fit on a 93? I'm getting my car painted and I like the lower profile of the 94-96 moldings. I was going to get a set of those and have them paint matched on my 93, just not sure if they will fit.

I suppose, but the list of 1995 models that supported OBDII was tiny ... so, making this claim is overly generous really!

I think what PopPop is getting at is the junkyards don't distinguish by "model year" but by "built date" to account for mid-year changes for the same model year. When I went junkyard hopping here in Miami I had many times run across 94 Q45's that they were calling 93's since they were built in 93 and also came across 2 89 Q45's which for my knowledge there were never any model year 89 Q45's. So when going junkyard searching you really need to pay attention to "model year" vs. "built date".

Yes. It is an unusual and rare exception ... see the bottom of the page here: http://www.obdii.com/connector.html for the list of vehicles.
