oh yea...rite...so the 3.5 VQ just got ONE award so far...

doug_RENAMED

its only 2 years old

the VQ on a whole has been around for as long as he described.. he wasn't talking about the 3.5 .. he was talking about the VQ

RAdams

You constantly spout information (and by information I mean bull****) with no firsthand knowledge. You've even made some stuff up. Until you're able to hold an intelligent discussion (or at least form an intelligible sentence), you'd do well to sod off.

Arkansas, is it?

samkws

so does the BMW...it has been around for as long as i described....but he didn't agree

so i am talking the BMW sixes on a whole too...

doug_RENAMED

ok ..i appologize.. i just came in the argument late.. and i just saw your comment

1SICKLEX

NSX engine is wonderful (detuned in the Legend)
I can vouch for Toyota/Lexus 3.0 V-6.

VQ and Acura's 3.2 are wonderful.

BigPimping

I have not made ANY information up.

Go ahead tell me something that i have made up.

If you can't defend yourself, then Shuddup

With the engine sludge problem??? You didn't mean I6 by any chance?

Hmmm, 2001 JD Power stats. Nissan is at the BOTTOM for reliability. Not NEAR the bottom, the BOTTOM. They have 7th place in NAV user friendliness. 1 car won out of 48 awards. These are facts bub.

Those were for morons who did not maintain their car and waited (as Goaub has stated elsewhere ) 30,000 miles for an oil change. OF COURSE you'll have problems.

My 1992 ES 300 manual has 190k miles and still going strong. I just change the oil myself every 5k and take it in for maintenance.

garylee55

If you check that same JD report you will see Infiniti was 3rd on that same list...it was the quality issues with the new Altima that dropped Nissan down so far on that list. Someone has the actual link posted in Freshalloy.com...too lazy to go over there and search for it now.

garylee55

This was Toyotas first claim...but found out that it was not true for the majority of the folks. Then Toyota demanded receipts, and when people started presenting them, they were going to initially reject any from places like Jiffy lube, then decided to accept them. The blurb in AutoWeek said Toyota has agreed to replace over 3400 engines. I don't think they would do this for people who hadn't change oil in 30K miles.

1SICKLEX

Hey, not saying Toyota does not make mistakes. But 3400 engines since 1992 in probably 500,000 engines (I am making a estimate) well that is that is about 2%. Not bad.

garylee55, I agree Infiniti has always been one of the higher rated brands.

garylee55

I don't think it went back that far either...damn...now I'm too lazy to go look for the AutoWeek article...but, I just wanted to make the point that no car manufacturer is without issues. Wards rates the Nissan VQ very highly and has done so numerous times.

samkws

buick has 2 cars ranked best...
the century is even better than accord

I spent a mere 12 seconds searching your impressive portfolio of painfully inane posts and came up with the following:

"Not only is it the most reliable V6 engine. "

"It is also the most technologically advanced."

You didn't read this anywhere. And you were unable to post any data as to where it came from, therefore one must conclude that it's pure hyperbole and that you imagined it.

It's not hard to defend myself against someone as ill-equipped to "fight" as you.

12 seconds of my life I'm never going to get back.

BigPimping is lowering our IQ's with every word he posts. Maybe someone should assist him in pulling his head out of his rear end. Nah, it's probably easier to just ban him. This idiot twelve year old spends more time here every day than I do in one week.

NsX Pilot

word to the wise..........BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY...BECAUSE ONCE U SAY IT...YOU CAN NEVER TAKE IT BACK.

doug_RENAMED

this post is about the VQ engine right? the VQ engine is in the I30, the G35 and the QX4 .. so obviously since we are still talking about the engine..what you said makes no sense

BigPimping

BS,

Prove me wrong on my two statements that you have spend your time looking up:thefinger

BigPimping

Samky again you are pulling numbers out of your @ss.

Where do you see 12 awards in the past 8 years for bmw sixes on a whole.

RAdams

You're unable to back either of your statements up. What a surprise that your reply featured a :thefinger

I'll play your game, though:

The TL-S engine is more technologically advanced than the VQ.

Prove me wrong.

Tell me what you know about the VQ or the J32. Points off for direct quotes from Ward's, nissandriven.com and freshalloy.com. Tell me what you know. I'll leave you ample space --> []

1SICKLEX

We were talking about the reliability rating on the link I posted.

samkws

BMW got 12 awards in the past 8 yrs...

9 for sixes, 3 for V8s...

9 sixes is still more than VQ has

samkws

i don't think VQ is the most reliable engine...

i would take the GM 3800 engine over VQ anytime for reliability...

BigPimping

Again you tls fanboys try to deviate from the original subject

You BOLDLY and CLEARLY stated that the bmw sixes got 12 awards in 8 years.

Are you not correct?

BigPimping

How intelligent of you to brush of my question with a question of your own.

Why you couldn't answer my question.:thefinger

RAdams

I put the ball in your court by telling you to show where you got your information. You didn't. You made it up. You lose.

samkws

yea my bad...but i don't give a damn to care those things...i am not like u just staying at home and looking on the car magazines...i do go out to drive my TL and i careless what the awards are...at least i am driving a decent car...IN UR FACE!!

just one more thing kiddo...u still haven't explain y VQ6 is the most reliable engine ever...

samkws

ha ha

big limpd*ck just won 10 million for pointing out errors made my the members on acura-tl fourm...

but at the same time he's losing 20 million for having errors pointing out by the members on acura-tl fourm...


do u see we care??

vandy786

That's what I should ask you. Read my posts above, all of them (which you conveniently ignored).:thefinger

doug_RENAMED

ok time to close this one up.. its going no where...

BakedWafer

Obviously Nissan has some sort of pull over at Wards Auto because no other magazine seems to think that the Nissan VQ is the BEST ENGINE EVER. They score horribly for reliability and numerous other things. Just because one source says that it is the best engine ever, it's pure speculation.

You can look at JD Power for this information in 2002.

samkws

um...although it's like that...the wards is still one of the most respectable one in the auto industry....

but i personally think they are kinda bias...they are all domestic fans..u need info from domestic cars...u go there...haha

EZZ

Huh? The VQ (although not the greatest engine on earth like some idiots think) is still one of the best V6s around. Horrible for reliability??? Take a look at the reliability ratings for the Maximas from 95 to today. They are EXCELLENT. The VQ has NEVER had any problems.

BakedWafer

Your obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Just making up **** about how the reliability is great, sounds good to me. The reliability ratings have not changed at all. If you look at this one link here http://www.jdpa.com/presspass/pr/images/01102a.gif you can see that Nissan is JUST ABOVE the industry average, in the middle of the pack for 2002. And if you look at Edmunds or Motor Trend you can see the same trend. Although, they do make a good V6, arguably maybe the best, their reliability is for ****. Only a response with backup is appropriate. Not some bull**** about what you think. Oh yeah, and the Nissan V6 is NOT arguably the best V6 ever. If you read the wards auto articles it is in the top 10 for engines under 50,000 dollars to be fair to consumers. Have a wonderful day.

EZZ

Its obvious you are talking out your a$$. How in God's name does a vehicle dependability study reflect upon an engine's reliability? The entire vehicle might break down but if the engine is still good, its reliable dumba$$. If you want proof, take a look at consumer reports! The 95 Maximas and up have NEVER had an engine problem. I've given you proof right there. Where the hell do you do you get your info.

samkws

wait a min...the VQ came out in 95...still young to say it's reliable for an engine...it takes longer to earn a gd reputation...

BakedWafer

Until you post links or show some proof here, like I did, anything you say is pure, 100%, USDA Bull S H I T. Give me some information and stop talking out of your "a$$." Stop feeding me **** and calling it a Sundae. Backup your statements with FACT next time please.

EZZ

I GAVE YOU INFO!!! Look up ANY Consumer Reports Annual Car Magazine and it will give you the reliability of the Maxima since 1992. It lists all major components of the car (tranny, engine, brakes, etc...) and gives it a reliability rating. As I have said, the VQ has had excellent reliability up to this point. The Maxima itself it easily on part with the Camry and Accord

You also claim that Nissan has horrible reliability. You don't know your facts. Consumer reports gives it a good bet for reliability.
(http://www.consumerreports.org/main/...=1024631974768)

Now I gave YOU SOME PROOF. You show me some links that prove the VQ is an unreliable engine. I CHALLENGE you to show me one iota of evidence where the VQ is unreliable. Not Nissan, but the VQ.

BTW, the link you posted is total Bull S H I T regarding our converstation. It is a vehicle dependability rating, not an engine reliability rating dumba$$. I don't know how you get those two confused. If you also notice, Infiniti (luxury division of Nissan) is better than Acura. So I guess according to your logic, the VQ is more reliable than the J32 :p
