1. I know I'm driving a VQ when i diagnose the car to hear about a knock sensor for the first time
2. I know im driving a VQ when you WOT for no reason just to enjoy torque

You know you're driving a VQ when you hear a "crunch" from the timing chain area at every start up.
You know you're driving a VQ when you can hear the lifters over your exhaust. (I guess that all depends on the exhaust system)
You know you're driving a VQ when you can make a money shift (instead of 3-4, 3-2) and drive it home. Heck, in my case.. I finished the night racing.
I guess this all applies to the VQ35 since I have no experience with the 30.

You know you're driving a VQ when you can read a KS code by the part throttle shifts.
Well at least I can on auto 3.0's anyways. Just got done doing a tranny on a '97 w/270k miles, asides from brakes & tires it was probably the first bill the car had with more than $50 in parts, and the engine pulled soooooo smooth and strong, still roaks 'em up hard from a stop with his new vlsd

You know you're driving a VQ when you have the entire "CEL Check Procedure" memorized and ready.

The good:You know that you have a VQ when you blow by a Accord Coupe on the track and watch the Honda Fanboy's mouths drop when they see that their beloved VTEC lost to a sedan.
The bad: You know you have a VQ when you have to keep an extra bottle of oil in your trunk.

You know you are driving a VQ when you do the GAB mod and then rev past 4000 rpm to hear the growl.
You know you are driving a VQ when half throttle on an on ramp nearly puts you into the back end of cars already at freeway speeds.
You know you are driving a VQ when even at $4 a gallon for premium you still take the long way home.

You know that you have a VQ when you jump off the line and you chirp your tires and watch the tech hit redline and hear that nice growl.
You know that you got a VQ when It's raining out and you just tap the accelarator and you lose traction.

When you only have $50 left to pay for gas until you can find a job but you still refuse to shift anywhere but redline

...your passengers say "I didn't know you had an exhaust!?" and you reply "naw, that's just the intake."
I dunno what you guys are talking about engine growl w/stock intake on WOT... it's too dang quiet!!!

Who's the pretentious *** that gave this thread a one star rating? I noticed if there is any kind of creativity or group friendly threads they get a low rating. Pisses me off.
Even though I can't really add to this thread because I don't drive a VQ.

Ack! I hate on-ramps. There's always some d-bag ahead of me that goes on the on-ramp at like 20 miles an hour, then takes forever to get up to speed on the highway, and I always just want to take the ramp really fast and merge quick. The VQ is running hella nice, and the front struts and tires are only 3 months old.

when you can't pass your emissions test because of a CEL.
when two weeks later the CEL goes away and you can pass your emssisions test having made no repairs.
when you have to buy another maxima because you know in your heart that you have to have two, because by the time your 4th gen dies, you won't be able to find a decent 5th gen with under 200K.
when you can't imagine ever buying any other 4 door sedan.
when you contantly comb craig's list and ebay looking for a 98-01 maxima with less than 60K so you can have a spare for when your DD craps out.

You know you're driving a VE when people mistake your car for a diesel (clackclackclackclackclackclack)
You know you're driving a VE when you're CAI/HAI makes it sound like you're driving a Nascar at the top of every gear.
You know you're driving a VE when the weather drastically affects how she drives.
You know you drive a VE when the guy at the parts counter tells you your engine doesn't exist
