the vq35de as we see in our Z was to my knowledge first put in the Renault Vel Satis and launched before launching in the 350z. This engine im preety sure was not first implemented for use in a 350z but a ranault vehicle since i remember talking about the vq35de before the 350z was finalized in sketches and how good it performed vrs the Vel Satis 3.0dCi engine in the vel satis. The engine from my understanding was implemented in renault cars and launch before the Z and maxima variations . The vq35de has been around for sometime now over seas. Granted i could be mistaken but ...i just remember hearing of the vq35de before it was even thought to be in a Z nor maxima.


also the vq35de in the 2002 maxima where it debuted to my understanding was after it debuted in the Espace minivan in mid 2001 . before the maxima......at least thats what i thought.. i have a cousin in the military out in france lol ...go figure hes a car guy and would happen to know about car stuff lol...but yea he was touting that engine way back before reviews of the 2002 maxima even reached doorsteps.

Didn't come out till 2001.

Like I said, 2000 it was first introduced in a Nissan. And in 2001 many Nissans got it before the Renault got it.

Excuse me, last time I checked the definition of origin it meant origination. I.E. where it came into existence, be it made or born (if its a living being).Therefor, France would not be the country of origin for the VQ, even if it was first used in a French car before being used in Japan or the U.S., neither of which are true anyways. As was stated earlier it was first used as the VQ30 in the Maxima in 1995.

With the VQ its origin would be Japan definition wise. For more clarification, here is another example of the definition of origin, my girlfriend is Japanese, she was born in Japan, therefor her country of origin is Japan.

I did not misread or take out of context your statement or nit pick words. You made a factual mistatement. I pointed that out. Now your going back and trying to cover your mistake with the crap your writing above?

You need to study up on definitions and English, your failing pretty hard here. You don't even have the definition of origin correct. Let alone your spelling of genius which you are not.

P.S. I understand what you tried to say. Do you understand what you tried to say?
