I read a thred somewhere that the VQ engine was really meant for the 300ZX, but when they killed the 300ZX in the U.S., Nissan had to put that jewel somewhere to try to re-coup their developments costs? True?

Hmm, the 300ZX was taken out of production AFTER the VQ appeared. I believe the design of the engine was related to Nissan getting into racing, but them they withdrew.The VQ ended up in the Maxima, and the rest is history.

 

Donating maxima.org member ?? I Thought donating was a humble thing that you don't share with everyone

 

The VQ was designed for a racing series that was disbanded. So Nissan had a bunch of molds and stuff machined for producing VQs, and nothing to use them for. So they decided to produce them for the Maxima.

 

only someone who didn't donate would say something like that...

 

Everyone gets them automaticly now.

Ewww, exactly what does Medic donate?

 

I donated and didn't get one. Maybe it takes time!

 

i think the vq was introduced in 94 in japan

 

Well Jambo has to do them manually I think. So yeah give it time and you will get changed. Maybe bythe days end or something.

 

HEHE, I would have to say that we are lucky to have this engine, I am on my second one and it only gets better with each car.
