Q45
Well everyone my Nissan decided to give up its ghost so I had to
drive
my 3000 for awhile and its been one exciting driving time especially
in
this last snow storm we just had here in Denver Colorado!!! Well
Next
Monday I'll be taking delivery of a 92 Infiniti Q45 and I know this
is
not list related but by any chance do any of you know someone that
has
performed any upgrades for these. I have a stillen catalog already
and
their prices are always too high so I was seeing if there are any
other
companies out there that I don't know about??? Thanks
Oh
Ps
Good luck to all of you especially Todd with gt-alley. I'm thankful
this
came about now since I was 2 weeks away of ordering their 368 turbos
:(
Ohwell guess I got to go back with the greddy setup. :)

8. Observations: Immediately after
purchasing the car (with 34k
miles on the
odometer), car was run with NO
oil whatsoever for between
two and five minutes and speeds from idle to 60
mph due
to the oil drain plug being loose and falling out (that will
teach
me to buy a Dodge-badged Mitsu from a Ford dealer!).
After surviving a
near-death experience and weeks (months?)
of thinking I was hearing abnormal
sounds on an unfamiliar
engine, all is fine, moderate lifter tick audible
only after
engine is warm and has been idling.

Team3S: plug gap
Hello All,
Great list. I'm glad I made it over
here.
I am going to replace my plugs and wires over Christmas.
I'm
using stock plugs, and Accel premade wires. I don't have any mods yet
(except
K&N). I am planning on putting on a boost controller this spring.
What is
the recommended gap? I've seen .028 up to .045. Most of the
knowledgeable
people seem to have migrated over here, so I trust
your
opinions.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

We just changed my
plugs and wires, and gapped the plugs at 0.034. Huge
difference.
Input and direction was gained and appreciated from Barry.
I used stock
wires due to low funds, and my car is bone
stock.
Thanks,

Subject: Team3S: Re
Plug gap
Try .34 and if you can afford it, go with Platinum NKG plugs.
Plug gaps
as small as .28 have been advised, but as a recent thread
indicated, you
get a larger spark with a larger gap. .34 is about par
for the course.
I have not seen .45 suggested and seriously doubt a stock
system is
involved if such a Grand Canyon gap was ever
recommended.
