VH45DE Engine Blueprint Series T-shirtThe VH45DE is a 4. 5 liter (4,494 cc) V8 developed by Nissan for use in the Infiniti Q45 sport luxury sedan (G50 platform) which was released in November 1989. The engine was also used in the Japanese market Nissan President limousine (JG50 platform) which debuted in late 1990.

The VH45DE is a 4.5 liter (4,494 cc) V8 developed by Nissan for use in the Infiniti Q45 sport luxury sedan (G50 platform) which was released in November 1989. The engine was also used in the Japanese market Nissan President limousine (JG50 platform) which debuted in late 1990. The VH45DE typically generates 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 6000 rpm and 40.8 kg⋅m (400 N⋅m; 295 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm with a redline of 6900 rpm.

Some of the pertinent features of the VH45DE are forged steel crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods, 6 Bolt main bearing caps with studs, full-length main bearing girdle, lightweight, floating pistons with molybdenum coating, sodium-filled exhaust valves, cross-flow cooling system, hydraulic lash adjusters, single-row silent timing chain, coil-on-plug ignition system, lifter buckets ride directly on cams to reduce friction, redline of 6900 rpm, compression ratio of 10.2:1, bore and stroke of 93 mm × 82.7 mm (3.66 in × 3.26 in), dimensions: 890 mm (35.04 in)(L) x 740 mm (29.13 in)(W) x 725 mm (28.54 in)(H).

The 4.5 L (4,494 cc) VH45DE featured variable valve timing, also known as VTC, from 1990 until 1995. This was during the time that the 'Gentleman's Agreement' between Japan's automotive manufacturers was in effect, requiring all cars sold in their home market to (on paper, at least) produce no more than 280 PS. Due to tightening emissions regulations in the US market, the VTC feature was dropped from the 1996 Infiniti Q45.[citation needed] In the following year, the VH45DE was no longer available in any US market vehicles. The engine continued on in the Japanese market until 2002 in the Nissan President limousine; power was somewhat lower in the President to make it quieter and smoother.

VH45DEs made before 1994 used plastic timing chain guides, and over time these have been known to fail. This results in a noisy valve-train and parts of the plastic guides can end up in the sump and oil pickup, resulting in engine damage. Nissan changed to metal backed chain guides from 1994 onwards.

This engine was used in the following vehicle(s):

  • 1990-1996 Infiniti Q45, 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) at 6,000 rpm, 400 N⋅m (295 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm
  • 1990-2002 Nissan President, 270 PS (199 kW; 266 hp) at 5,600 rpm, 394 N⋅m (291 lb⋅ft) at 4,000 rpm

The VH45DE became a relatively popular engine swap for other platforms due to being low cost to source and also able to be adapted to a Nissan manual transmission when using an aftermarket adapter plate. The VH45DE is also used in a variety of motorsports ranging from drifting to drag racing, boat racing, and dirt track sprint cars (Australia and New Zealand).

Shiny Gold
Nice comfortable shirt, fit good, but the gold color was shiny, kind of disco-like. Way too much for me and definitely did not expect that, doesn't come through in photos.

Beautiful and flashy
Everyone is telling me I love your shirt, great fabric, won't wrinkle easily and they have different patterns so I am ordering a different one as well. Just keep in mind if you live in a cold area this shirt will not keep you warm because it's very thin fabric but that makes it very comfortable.
