How to unlock the With or Without Q achievement in 007 Legends - Definitive Guide

Achievement Name :
With or Without Q Worth : 16G
Achievement Objective :
Reach Grave’s plane without using any in-car gadgets.

Main Menu>>Single Player>>Mission Select>>Die Another Day>>Ice Lake

So you cannot use any gadgets which are :
Traction Control
Treat Detection System
Weapon System

My explenation is just the way i played it, it worked very good for me...but you can mix it up with your own tactics offcourse :)

When danger is ahead of you just let go off the gas for a sec to maintain max grip and if needed avoid the danger, also try to avoid walls cuz they will spin you out (since you are not allowed to use the Traction Control)

After the first part Zao will close in on you and he will fire bombs toward you (you will not see the impact zones cuz you cannot use the Treat Detection System)
The bombs are pretty easy to avoid just try to avoid them by letting off the gas for a sec to maintain max grip.

Now you are at the third part where you need to take out Zao (without using the Weapon System)
You need to avoid his bombs like you did before and try to close in on him while avoiding the boms, once you are close enough behind him he will drive into the laser beam.

Now you are at the fourth and final part where you need to board the plane (in this section you will have a certain amout of time to reach the plane, but don't worry you can restart checkpoints if you fail)
Try to stay on the left or right side cuz its a lot easier to avoid the boxes that come out of the plane, when you are between 0>>3 meters from the plane drive towards the middle to complete your objective.

The achievement pops once the mission is over.

This achievement is very misleading. It says to reach Graves' plane without using any gadgets. But, you can make it a WHOLE lot easier for you by following these steps:

Start the level. When Zao gets to you, use all of your gadgets. Just go through the motions. Then, when you are tasked to drive into Graves' plane, DO NOT GO IN!!!! Fail that part. When you respawn, you will be tasked to drive into Graves' plane again. This time, DO NOT USE ANY GADGETS!!!! The easiest way to do it is to drive into a straight line and only use MINUTE turns to avoid crates. When you drive into Graves' plane, wait until you are at the final screen, and POP!, 16 GS all yours.

The description for this trophy is very misleading. You not only need to reach Graves' plane, which is the point of the mission itself, you need to do it without using a single gadget. This trophy can be obtained on the mission Ice Lake. You must complete the entire level without the use of any gadgets. This means no traction control, no missiles, nothing. Just drive. This may sound difficult but it is actually very easy. To defeat Zao, simply drive into the back of his car at full speed. The only part that’s even remotely difficult is reaching the plane on the runway due to the time limit. If you are having trouble I recommend sticking to one side that way if you do get hit, you will hit the wall which will straighten you out.

During the fourth mission 'Die Another Day', you will eventually come to a part where you get into your Aston Martin and chase The bad guy 'Graves'. During the chase you will be prompted to use certain gadgets that are built into your car, but you cannot use any of them. First you will be asked to turn on your traction control. Ignore it and continue driving without it. Be aware that your car will be more difficult to control without traction control, but do not turn it on. You will then be prompted to turn on the 'Threat Detection System'. Again, ignore this and keep driving. You will be avoiding mortar strikes and the Icarus(A giant laser beam), so be careful, but refrain from using any of the 2 gadgets at your disposal. You will eventually get to a cutscene with another car that has caught up to you.

After the cutscene, you will be behind the car that has caught up to you and you will be prompted to activate your 'Weapon Systems'. Do not do this and continue driving. You will still be avoiding strikes from the giant laser beam and mortar strikes from the green car in front of you. Be patient and keep driving without using any of your gadgets. Eventually you will catch up to the green car and crash into them to force them into one of the giant laser beams.

After this cutscene, you will be on the runway and have to catch up to a plane that is taking off. Once you reach the plane and drive up the ramp, you will activate a cutscene and the plane will take off, unlocking the achievement.

Huge thanks to Youtube user GameGuideCentral.com for the video.
